Fermata Ariosto In Manduria

I stopped in for lunch while passing through, and it was a great choice. I ordered the full €12 menu with a first course, second course, side dish, water, and coffee. The home cooking is like eating at home, and the price is truly ridiculous these days. I highly recommend it.

We came across this restaurant and bar by chance while returning from the seaside and were won over by it... good food, kindness and a family atmosphere.

This trattoria is located on the side of the Colle di Cadibona road, making it very difficult to find a parking spot. The atmosphere is rustic, with furnishings from times gone by, but it's quiet and clean. The wait staff is very friendly but lacks customer service. Even considering the low prices, the dishes served aren't particularly impressive (the baked pasta was reheated and very overcooked). Compared to other similar trattorias, I think adding the fixed lunch menu to the price (at that time, there's only a fixed menu with a few courses) could significantly improve the experience. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it for a lunch break.

A fairly spartan place but still offering good value for money.

It looks simple, but it is cozy and the people are friendly.

Family-run restaurant, excellent home cooking with local dishes, efficient, courteous, and friendly service, and reasonable prices. The place is simple but tidy and clean. Recommended.
