Da Gino In Ceglie messapica

Simple, local dishes, and a must-try appetizer. The owner recommends ordering after their appetizer. It may not be a trendy place, but the food here makes all the difference. Highly recommended.

We happened to be in Ceglie on our way back from Cisternino and found this restaurant, which was a real surprise. The menu is simple, with excellent, locally sourced ingredients, cooked with just a few ingredients to enhance the flavor. The appetizer is rich and plentiful, full of vegetables like purslane or fig blade with grated caciotta cheese, meatballs served with parmesan and spicy sauces, a delicate ricotta and mozzarella knots, various soufflés, bread and pizza, and delicious cured meats. We tried the orecchiette with very delicate anchovies, but everything was very generous. I would have liked to try more, but we saved room for the apple pie and the lemon and apple granita. Compliments to Mr. Gino and his staff. Highly recommended.

Unique, intimate location, excellent and delicious food, clean facilities, Mr. Gino personally takes care of the customers and recommends the dishes, the staff is young, a small flaw is the fact that the signal is poor, consequently paying by post is difficult, we used the app to book but we still had to call to confirm the reservation, good value for money.

Simply perfect dinner, very kind staff, quality food, and more than satisfying portions. The appetizers are highly recommended!

It's always a pleasure to return to such a traditional place, where authenticity and warmth reign supreme. Seeing Gino again is a real guarantee: his presence makes the experience even more special and familiar.

Extremely excellent!!!! Superlative for vegetarians. Great cuisine Long live Puglia And I forgot about Cosimo, the exceptional waiter!!!

A precious place. Authentic food, like it used to be. Each dish has the sincere flavor of home cooking tied to the local area. All the products are locally sourced, far from the homogenizing dynamics of large-scale retail trade. It's no coincidence that it's a Slow Food Presidium. The menu features dishes featuring seasonal herbs and wild vegetables that you can only find here (like orecchiette with purslane, pasta with prickly pear peels, or myrtle frittatas). A special treat: moka pot coffee accompanied by sweet taralli and candied orange peel. Not to be missed.

A quaint restaurant, with one foot in tradition and the other in innovation. Authentic cuisine with seasonal, locally sourced products. A blast from the past (I remember only eating bread like this at my grandmother's). A rare philosophy worth preserving. Excellent hospitality (Gino personally accompanies you to your table, explaining his menu and conveying his passion for his work). Even the accessories (bread baskets, lunch boxes, etc.) are handmade. As for the food, the appetizers would be enough, but whatever you choose, you can't go wrong (the prickly pear paddles and amaranth leaf fritters are a surprise). We highly recommend it. Thank you, Gino 🙏🏼😊 from Franco and Stefania.

A restaurant of yesteryear. True, traditional flavors. You can't go wrong at Gino's. All the appetizers are worth trying.

Muy buena atención, comida exótica con buenos precios. Nos obsequiaron una minuta de postre. El dueño se acercó y nos mostró que estábamos comiendo.
