25/07/2025: An Unforgettable Experience at Arrosteria Borgo Antico in Ceglie Messapica
If you're looking for a place where Puglia's culinary tradition meets a magical atmosphere, Arrosteria Borgo Antico in Ceglie Messapica is the perfect destination. Our evening here was a true triumph of flavors and sensations, an experience we recommend to everyone, and a simply exceptional value.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by an enchanting atmosphere: the tables, set in the charming little street adjacent to the ancient village, created an idyllic setting for a summer dinner under the stars. Despite the restaurant being full, the atmosphere remained pleasantly quiet and serene, allowing us to fully enjoy the evening. The rustic decor blends perfectly with the setting, adding a touch of authenticity.
The culinary journey began with a selection of traditional appetizers that left us speechless. A true feast for the palate with top-quality local products: from cheeses and cured meats to the unique donkey mortadella, from the refined beef tartare to the melted cheese, not to mention the grilled vegetables, fresh salads, and mozzarella. Every bite confirmed the freshness and excellence of the local ingredients.
The highlight was the sliced beef: a true delight. The meat was cooked to perfection, incredibly juicy and flavorful, a true masterpiece of taste. To complete the experience, a chilled rosé wine, carefully served in an ice bucket to maintain the perfect temperature, a pairing that enhanced every flavor.
The service was impeccable. We were served by Mimmo, whose kindness and professionalism were exemplary, helping us feel pampered. The evening concluded with a sweet surprise: we were offered delicious local sweets and biscuits, accompanied by fragrant cannoli and an excellent limoncello, a gesture of kindness that left an even more pleasant memory.
In short, the Borgo Antico restaurant is a charming place with its authenticity, superb food, and an atmosphere that invites relaxation and enjoyment. It's suitable for everyone: families, couples, friends—anyone who wants to savor the true essence of Apulian cuisine in an unforgettable setting.
We highly recommend it and can't wait to return!
