Il Fortino del Gusto In Cisternino

21/05/2024: The place is very famous, it doesn't need much introduction. The specialty is meat bombette. The method is a bit particular, it is not possible to book. The restaurant opens around 7pm but you have to queue much earlier (in May no problem, during the season there is even a queue of two hours). First you enter the butcher's shop and choose what to eat: bombettes-sausages-burgers... Then you sit in the restaurant part. It was all superb, you can really feel the freshness of the meat and I think it is one of the most authentic and least touristy places to eat this specialty. Inside the shop there are photos of many VIPs who have been here. Only note: the service needs to be a little more attentive, we asked for bread two or three times before getting it. But everyone was very kind. Excellent experience, highly recommended!
