26/08/2025: How wonderful!!!
How wonderful to be able to eat in such a unique and characteristic place, with such masterfully prepared dishes, with truly excellent service, and be able to feel at home...gentlemen, this is what happens at Corte dei Simonari!!! Everything was beautiful, everyone was truly nice, from the first to the last. The owner is probably the sweetest of all; before we left, she even gave us a complimentary bottle of wine. We can't wait to return to try other Salento dishes prepared (and in some cases revisited) by the talented chef and to be pampered by all the staff.
P.S.
I forgot to mention that the prices are MORE than fair.
24/08/2025: To celebrate a birthday, we chose this warm, atmospheric location, steeped in tradition and hospitality. A restaurant that's more than just a place to eat, but a lasting experience. Highly recommended for those seeking authenticity, quality, and true hospitality in Salento. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, seasonal, and carefully selected. Chef Massimo's knowledge and experience are evident in every dish. The staff is another great strength: attentive, helpful, and courteous, they make every guest feel truly welcome, with just the right balance of professionalism and warmth.
