02/10/2025: The best....the best in the area....the President and his First Lady are very kind people and truly number one!!! Delicious food, cleanliness, professionalism and friendliness make this place a must-see....if you are in the area you can't miss eating there....highly recommended!!!!

16/09/2025: Well done, delicious pucce with excellent quality ingredients!

17/09/2025: A truly enchanting place... the most beautiful place for a ceremony! Excellent food and incredibly kind staff, attentive and meticulous in every detail... I fell in love with it...

07/09/2025: We got married on August 2, 2025. The reception hall was wonderful, with an elegant and refined exterior and a fabulous interior. The staff was incredibly professional. We will never forget your kindness and the passion you have for your work. Mr. Angelo D'Anzi, the owner, was wonderful, kind, and available to us and our guests. Thanks again. Highly recommended.

28/09/2025: We stopped here for lunch today (September 28, 2025) and were impressed. The food was wonderful, and the server was very friendly and accommodating. We can't rate the rooms, as we weren't staying overnight. We can only recommend this restaurant for dinner.

11/09/2025: We visited for a dinner for two: magical! The location was beautiful, and we were able to eat outside in absolute tranquility and silence, accompanied only by the chirping of cicadas. The service was courteous and prompt, and both the main courses, the house appetizer, and the dessert were excellent. The rosé wine was excellent, also available by the glass. The price was average (€40 per person), more than reasonable considering the pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

17/10/2025: Delicious pizza, but more than once it was listed as open and then closed. Of course, it's not pleasant to arrive from Taranto and find it closed on a Friday evening, when it's listed as open on Google and their website.

22/08/2025: Various types of focaccia to eat in or take out. We recommend shrimp in pink sauce, Emilian sauce, and, after choosing the various pieces to your liking, the spicy one to burn your taste buds at the very end.

04/10/2025: Excellent quality food, attentive service, a welcoming atmosphere.

01/10/2025: There were four of us at dinner and the experience was sublime. Attention to detail, courtesy, and excellent food made everything wonderful. We'll definitely be back.

18/10/2025: Amazing food We came from Rome and tried the pizza, especially the special Quinto, which is a pizza with a zucchini base, speck, yellow datterini tomatoes and much more. A very beautiful location with walls made from ancient stone. They also serve very good gluten-free pizza.

14/10/2025: We had lunch last Sunday with my family, and to say we had a wonderful time is an understatement. From the appetizers to the first courses, to the fruit-based main courses, all the ingredients were top-quality. Superlative combinations of flavors, served hot and practically prepared to order. All my relatives have booked and are already planning to return. Go, go, go... enjoy!

06/10/2025: Top-notch artisanal pastry making for decades!

05/10/2025: Delicious gelato. I was told it's Martina's best when I asked where to go for good gelato. And it's excellent, even for celiacs.

22/08/2025: We were recommended by a friend, and the experience exceeded all expectations! A warm welcome, impeccable service, and great customer service. The appetizers were incredibly generous, unique, and meticulously prepared, even in their presentation. But what really struck me—and moved me—was the complete attention to my celiac son's dietary needs. The person taking the order never hesitated to prepare gluten-free dishes; on the contrary, they were attentive, reassuring, and knowledgeable. This made my son happy... and us too! My sincere compliments to the entire staff. We will definitely be back, and with pleasure!

21/08/2025: THE COST OF THE DINNER WAS OUT OF LINE WITH THE PRICE PAID. WE PAID 100 euros for a paltry raw seafood appetizer and main course. THE STANDARD HAS FELL VERY LOW. 👎

18/06/2025: Business trip, we looked online and chose this place for the very positive reviews. It was a weekday lunch, the place was empty. In addition to us, 2 other tables. Food that combines refined flavors with tradition. Attention to detail, both in the dish and in the dishes. Very quiet place, soft atmosphere in the center of Massafra. Kind and professional waiters. We were in a bit of a hurry so we couldn't enjoy our lunch break for long. Fewer dishes to choose from, better.

13/05/2025: Ero stato con mia moglie 2 anni fa con una piacevole esperienza, come da mia recensione. Siamo tornati con 2 amici ed in verità siamo rimasti delusi. Abbiamo ordinato 2 antipasti (per 4 persone), veramente misero con pochissime cose e porzioni ridotte. (Premetto che non abbiamo ordinato il crudo di mare come l'altra volta). Come primo abbiamo ordinato tutti i paccheri ai frutti di mare che erano la fotocopia in bianconero di quelli di 2 anni prima (sembravano riscaldati e con pochissimi frutti di mare e con le bucce delle vongole sotto i denti). Per secondo abbiamo preso una sperlunga centrale di frittura di pesce misto (buona), una bottiglia di vino fichimori, 4 dolcetti e 4 caffè. Preciso che il locale è accogliente ed i bagni puliti. Chiedo il conto e mi trovo una cifra spropositata, 240 euro, per quello che abbiamo mangiato, pago e zitto. Sarà capitato una giornata storta, forse la festa Patronale, ma sono rimasto molto deluso, al massimo mi aspettavo 180. Oltretutto i tavoli non hanno neanche il tovagliato e questo è antipatico e poco igienico perché il tovagliolo e le posate inevitabilmente poggiano sul tavolo. Insomma non penso di ritornare visto che la qualità è scesa ed il prezzo, in rapporto a 2 anni prima è raddoppiato quasi.

28/10/2025: Everything was perfect. The food was very good, and the servers were very friendly. We will gladly return.

25/10/2025: Always a pleasure to return to Emidio. Great staff, fantastic food, and the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. The best option in its segment in the Taranto area.

11/10/2025: Pizza and kindness, a top combination.

11/09/2025: Historic center. Excellent pizza and other treats. Quality and convenience. Friendly service. Parking nearby.

01/10/2025: The place is nice, the food is good, and the wine list is excellent. I'd love to come back.

19/09/2025: We had 2 drinks for 8 Euros. And 4 Euros of cover charge added! This is like 50% tip and not fair. Also this is not what coperto means.

27/09/2025: A very nice meal at this restaurant. Good service, tasty food (lovely and hot), good choice of beers. Definitely recommend if your in Grotaglie. As a Brit with a house in Puglia, this is definitely on the list of places to come back to.

13/09/2025: Very good and Very varied the menu of this place and able to satisfy all tastes. Also soups and other healthy dishes quite rare in the area

10/10/2025: A great experience. A quaint place with good food and excellent service. Everyone is very professional and friendly. Antonio, in particular, who took care of our table, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

07/10/2025: Very good restaurant, the charcuterie and cheese board was incredible
