Il Cortiletto In Lucera

It was our first time here at Il Cortiletto and we were truly thrilled! We recommend it, especially if, like us, you want to take advantage of its strategic location in the historic center, just steps from the Archaeological Museum (also recommended!). The staff is welcoming, and the dishes blend local products with innovative flavors. The dishes are always balanced yet tasty, and every choice reveals thoughtful consideration. The dining room seats no more than 50 people, but this makes the experience even more special and intimate. We'll definitely be back!

A charming place and delicious cuisine. The chef is amazing. The owners' hospitality and courtesy are impeccable. I always love returning for a business lunch or a romantic dinner.

In the center of Lucera, just steps from the Duomo, this little-publicized and almost hidden restaurant is a true surprise of taste and style. The dishes are expertly prepared by the owner, who uses excellent ingredients, carefully combined, and drawing on local tradition to create new and sophisticated flavors. This restaurant adds a touch of luxury to a visit to Lucera and invites you to return.

Perfect service, excellent food, fresh fish and above all a lot of friendliness and friendliness, 🔝

Excellent food in a cozy and welcoming environment

Just steps from Lucera Cathedral, in a historic building with cross vaults, lies Cortiletto. The owner, passionately reciting the menu, offers a cozy atmosphere and excellent, attentive, and thoughtful service. Excellent cuisine, highly recommended.

I dined at Cortiletto a few nights ago and it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had in Puglia. Nestled in the historic center of Lucera, this restaurant is a true gem: the setting is elegant and welcoming, with the charming internal courtyard creating a magical and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a special evening. The cuisine is a tribute to Puglian tradition, revisited with creativity and skill by chef Paolo, who uses only the highest quality, fresh, local ingredients. Each dish is impeccably presented, with balanced pairings and intense flavors that explode in the mouth. The appetizers are meticulously crafted, the first courses a triumph of flavor, and the second courses simply perfect. The wine list is also excellent, with excellent local labels. The service is impeccable: professional, friendly, and attentive, with the owner explaining the dishes with passion and charm, making you feel right at home. Excellent value for money for a restaurant of this caliber. Definitely worth a try and highly recommended to anyone visiting Lucera! 5 well-deserved stars. I'll be back soon!

Usually, when a restaurant announces the menu orally, I have some difficulty memorizing the dishes and, above all, understanding the overall picture. Here, the opposite happened. Paolo explained the menu with details that piqued our curiosity, and he exceeded our expectations in the preparation of the dishes, so much so that we still remember the menu.
