02/10/2025: It felt like stepping into a dream. The location was breathtaking, with every detail carefully designed to create a unique atmosphere. The food, crafted with ingredients cultivated in the masseria’s gardens, was both delicate and deeply flavourful. An elegant setting, a magical atmosphere, and exquisite dishes. And beyond the beauty of the place and the flavors of the table, it was the people who made it truly unforgettable—the staff perfectly matched the refined spirit of the masseria.

16/09/2025: I cried from the beauty of this place. A disarmingly beautiful farmhouse. I imagined the wedding here, but given how far away it is, it's only a dream. We had a delicious aperitif surrounded by hay bales and trees. What a sweet memory!

17/10/2025: Excellent meals, service and environment. It was quiet for a mid-week night and we were skilfully relocated from the garden after it started to rain. Good options and high quality dining in this wonderful town!

26/09/2025: We've been here a week now and haven't seen the restaurant open yet. It looks very deserted now. We've saved it for a visit, but we won't be doing it 😬

10/09/2025: At the pinnacle of Puglian dining, this restaurant's cuisine is undoubtedly a testament to tradition combined with the quality of its carefully selected and authentic ingredients. A sincere thank you to all the staff for the splendid experience they created with our 25th anniversary dinner on September 7, 2025, with a table set for 25 people, all of whom were completely satisfied at the end of the evening. Thank you so much.

12/10/2025: A small, authentic restaurant with excellent traditional food and a good wine selection. The mixed antipasti are amazing! And the eggplant parmesan is world-class! Everything is fresh and prepared with local produce. The service is very attentive, and the staff is incredibly friendly. We go there often and almost feel like family.

06/10/2025: Wow wow wow I'd give it more than 5 star if I could. A very small local spot with a fantastic owner who put up with my bad Italian pronunciation and looked after us incredibly well. A small menu of dishes cooked to perfection. Exceptional wine. A few things thrown in like olive, bread, biscuits which is always nice. Thank you very much!

16/10/2025: This farm Stay is an oasis away from the busy cities located out in a quiet countryside. You are surrounded by an olive Orchard with very kind staff to make your stay perfect. The restaurant here is strictly top-notch, serving the best and freshest local foods.

15/10/2025: We loved our short stay. The hotel is loaded with character, and the staff is welcoming and attentive. Dinner was very good, and the breakfasts bountiful. The property and surroundings are beautiful. Easy to get to Ostuni and all other towns of note.

29/08/2025: Dining at Cielo at La Sommità is nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled within the historic heart of Ostuni, the restaurant blends elegance and intimacy, offering an atmosphere that feels refined yet welcoming. From the first bite, it’s clear this is a place where tradition and artistry are in perfect harmony. Each dish is a revelation — local Apulian ingredients transformed with precision and soul. The flavors are both bold and delicate, rooted in authenticity yet elevated to something unforgettable. The experience flows seamlessly, with each course presented like a work of art that respects the region’s heritage while pushing it forward. A special mention must go to Pastry Chef Giuseppe, whose desserts are nothing less than masterpieces. His creations are light yet decadent, imaginative yet deeply comforting — the perfect finale to an already remarkable meal. Cielo at La Sommità is a jewel of Puglia, and without question, worthy of a Michelin star.

08/08/2025: Good experience. Service could be improved, though friendly. The food is imaginative, perhaps more on paper than on the palate.

15/04/2025: Top-quality meats, perfectly cooked, the grilled meatballs are spectacular, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is pleasant. Antonio, we look forward to seeing you soon!! You've left us orphans 😔

08/10/2025: There are a few tables outside on the steps of the Church of the Holy Spirit. After a Spritz aperitif, I had octopus pasta, which was delicious. My wife enjoyed the octopus on the menu. Everything was very good and impeccably served. Remember to book early, as there are limited tables.

04/10/2025: Very good food and extremely friendly yet attentive service. Thank you for the pleasant experience.
