Awards Candidates 2019

25/07/2026: Good morning, we went for lunch after touring the beauties of Monte Sant'Angelo.... The restaurant is in the historic center, small, clean and tidy..... We ate well, the local appetizer was average and the quality/price ratio was in line with other restaurants in the area.... Quick service, friendly staff....

23/07/2026: Excellent value for money! Beautiful decor! Impeccable service! Clean! I recommend it!

08/03/2026: The atmosphere is clean and quiet, the food is excellent, and the service is impeccable. Compliments to all the staff, who are very helpful and professional. In short, at this restaurant, you not only eat well, but also feel pampered. Congratulations again. A wonderful experience, definitely worth repeating.

15/02/2026: We went for lunch, the place was full, the atmosphere was pleasant, even though we were stuck at the table right next to the cash register. The owner arrived without a menu and started telling us the courses without a menu. Finally, he told us that an appetizer and a first course were coming and then we could choose whether to continue. He explained to us that the appetizer was seafood and meat. I told him I didn't want fish and my wife didn't either because she was waiting. Among the appetizers there was also prosciutto crudo and I told him not to bring it because I don't like it and my wife doesn't eat meat. We received a mozzarella and prosciutto and I told him again that we didn't eat it, then he brought us a vegetable meatball each, a small square of parmigiana each, a small square of puff pastry with radicchio and... A small plate with six pizza squares. I left a piece of pizza on the plate and his colleague, without asking, took it while he was bringing the plates back and threw it on the plate, without any manners. Then we each received a first course and a dessert. For drinks I had two glasses and my wife only had water. Before leaving, a couple who ordered the same things as us paid, plus they ate the ham plate and the fish that we didn't order. Price €90. I know because we were sitting right next to the cash register. We paid €110... the only good thing was the quality of the products, but they don't even know what the service and other things are. I will never go back again.

04/06/2026: A pleasant surprise! The dishes are prepared with care and attention by the owner, a place that undoubtedly deserves praise.

12/05/2026: Feeling at home, pampered by the delicacies of the dishes! It's hard to say which was the best, truly a feast for the taste buds. The staff was friendly and professional. Everything was delicious, from appetizers to desserts.

26/07/2026: We went for dinner in July 2026. We ate excellent meat and cheeses, all of which were produced on site. The dishes were generous and reasonably priced.

26/07/2026: Best food in Mattinata. Excellent service and great value for money.

24/06/2026: A splendid property located in a panoramic position overlooking the sea and just steps from the beach. We stayed for 4 days; it's the ideal place to relax. The rooms are comfortable and equipped with every comfort, the restaurant is excellent, and the entire staff is highly professional. Everything was perfect; we'll definitely be back!

27/05/2026: Beautiful hotel...we stayed in the recently renovated annex. Warm and professional welcome. Comfortable, clean, bright rooms equipped with every comfort. Quiet location with a relaxing view. Delicious breakfast served on the patio overlooking the garden. The swimming pool, which was under construction, will soon be available. The sea is just a few minutes' walk away, but a shuttle is available in the summer. An ideal location for a wedding. Thanks to the owner and his daughter.

28/06/2026: Excellent food, very fresh fish, friendly and helpful staff. Very satisfied. I recommend it.

24/06/2026: Every time an explosion of flavors, one of the best restaurants to eat good raw and hot fish prepared divinely, always a pleasure

23/05/2026: We ate here with friends from San Severo. The raw and cooked appetizers were excellent: I stopped at these because they were so generous. It's a shame because the other dishes (which I saw arriving at other tables) also looked truly inviting! The staff were professional, yet warm and friendly. The price was fair.

29/04/2026: The food is very good, especially the fish. Very friendly, but the atmosphere is small.

28/06/2026: I asked for a steak seared almost raw and they brought it to me well done and with the crust

09/06/2026: I'm a longtime customer, and every time I return, I always find the food excellent, as is the service. The staff are incredibly kind. The owners are always very courteous. The outdoor terrace offers a cool breeze and a beautiful view. I always recommend the fish menu, especially the fried mixed seafood when available.

06/04/2026: The best cappuccino and cornetto in the world!!!!!!

25/06/2026: One of the best cocktail bars in Italy, right in the heart of Lecce's historic center. The staff is amazing. Is there anything missing?

22/06/2026: Spectacular cocktails and fantastic staff. Just go.

04/05/2026: Beautiful place, unfortunately I know it indirectly through work.

06/04/2026: We stumbled upon it by chance, through social media, while searching for a place to have Easter lunch. It was actually an experiment, with the desire to spend a quiet day eating something good. The result was very satisfying. A genuine location, in the open countryside, with the sea on the horizon, with the perfect balance between rural tradition and modern hospitality. The beautiful stone courtyard, nestled among the tourist cottages, offers a lovely panoramic view of the pool, shaded by a young pergola supported by Lecce stone columns, surrounded by citrus trees, and a magnificent pine forest on the horizon. The welcome was excellent, with the entire staff being very friendly and genuinely helpful. Given the occasion, the fixed menu was tasty, with authentic flavors, dishes that leave fond memories and the desire to return. Returning for the place, the taste, the kindness? Who knows, it's hard to decide!

03/05/2026: We ate here on Labor Day (a national holiday in Italy). Because Italians mainly celebrate this day with family and friends around lunchtime, we, along with two other tourist couples, were the only guests in this restaurant. That was a shame for the atmosphere. No Italian family coziness. Anyway, we had a delicious meal! The two waiters were attentive, spoke English, and did their job well (we did have to pour the wine ourselves from the bottle, but that didn't matter). It is a beautiful place with a lovely terrace as well for the warm summer evenings that are sure to come.

19/04/2026: A superb restaurant, which in France would be considered a bistro. It was quiet out of season, the service was very pleasant, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was delicious.
