A surprising food and wine journey into the heart of Puglia in Fasano.
As a winemaker and food and wine expert, I'm rarely so impressed by a dining experience in the area. At the Ardecuore Restaurant, I had a simply impeccable evening, where every detail was attended to with passion and expertise.
The quality of the ingredients is evident from the first bite: clear, authentic flavors, never masked, but enhanced by a cuisine that respects and elevates each ingredient. The appetizer menu was a crescendo of balance and creativity, while two dishes in particular won me over: a rare elegance and balance of spaghetti with white truffle and a perfectly executed Pigeon Reale, intense, evocative (with an exceptional carob sauce), and juicy.
Paired with a 2017 Le Braci, an absolute icon of Puglia's winemaking tradition, served at the perfect temperature and complemented by a surprising wine list that showcases a Puglia beyond the usual clichés, with bold and highly valuable choices.
Honorable mention goes to the spirits list, a true gem for enthusiasts and connoisseurs: not everyone has a Caroni on the list, and that speaks volumes about the research and expertise that permeates this place.
Ardecuore is more than just a restaurant: it's a place where passion for flavor blends with a love of hospitality. I will return soon and often.
Sincere compliments to all the staff and to Vito for how they welcomed us and made us feel at home.

One of the best meals we’ve ever had. We had the rib eye, beef tenderloin and the truffle pasta and each dish was excellent. Well plated and quality ingredients full of flavour. The staff were attentive and friendly. All 3 of us had a great night thank you

Without a doubt, the best restaurant we've ever been to in Puglia.
Semi-gastronomic, excellent value for money, original and elaborate dishes, and above all, delicious!
Photo: Pasta with shellfish sauce and scorpionfish tartare, a delight.
The place is very nice with tasteful decor, and the restrooms are very clean.

Amazing food and friendly staff in a super charming place. The combination of ingredients is incredible! And they have kids menu, which is so difficult to find in Italy.

We've only been in Puglia for a week, and this restaurant is without a doubt the best we've eaten at. Fresh ingredients, perfect service, and delicious dishes. We also had a delicious mint tea, thanks to one of the lovely ladies who served us.
