Il grangusto In Cisternino

To discover. Very good meats. Very nice after a visit to Puglia. Don't forget to reserve.

Let's put the food aside for a moment. I ordered a slice of beef, baked potatoes and traditional bombette. The quality of the ingredients seemed good, although I found the cut difficult to chew and swallow due to the fat which made the experience rather tiring (probably an unlucky evening). On the positive side, the cooking was perfect, the portions generous and the price in line with other similar grill restaurants. Let's move on to the service, which deserves separate reflection. Self-service is acceptable: you queue, order, take your tray, drinks, number and take a seat. The festival-style benches and the possibility of sitting next to strangers can even be fun. Even the constant calling of numbers into the microphone, which forces you to get up several times to collect the dishes, can be tolerated, even if it seems more like a bingo hall than a grill. However, there are two aspects that are wrong. The first is the use of plastic cutlery to eat meat. Let's put the ecological issue aside, but cutting any steak, especially a sinewy cut, with a plastic knife is almost impossible. After breaking the knife and sweating quite a bit, I had to request a normal knife, which was kindly provided to me. However, traditional steel cutlery should be provided right away. The second aspect concerns waste management: the customer is forced to clear the table and dispose of leftovers and disposable tableware, touching and opening as many as four rubbish bins! This is unacceptable. It is unhygienic to have to handle the bins without gloves, dealing with the bad smell of accumulated leftovers. This aspect should absolutely be reviewed. Let's take McDonald's. There too the customer must clear the table and dispose of the leftovers. But the big difference is that, when I have to throw everything away, I do it in special traps, without having to touch anything! Despite everything, I give three stars, because if these two points were resolved, combined with the kindness of the staff and the speed of the service, the overall experience would improve considerably.

I don't have many photos, because honestly we didn't have time to get to the table before the dishes were devoured! We were there for the third time, and it has never failed! Excellent quality of the meat, I love the bombette and chicken wings! Kind and friendly owners, preparing dishes for quick ordering!

Small, well-stocked minimarket in the Itria Valley Quality products for the most part Excellent butchery department. With preparations for the barbecue Frozen foods in large packs A little out of the way. Private parking. Great kindness and sympathy Also restaurant

Cena spettacolare. Abbiamo preso un misto di carne alla griglia, un piatto di bombette, 3 tagliate, patate e un grande tagliere di salumi e formaggi tutto ottimo. Consiglio vivamente se si vuole mangiare carne e buona e stare comunque in un ambiente poco impegnativo e più alla mano.

Good good good good good good... I would go on and on but. I run the risk of repeating myself 🤣 go there and you won't regret it

Everything is good…. terrific steak and cut in the butcher's excellent choice of wines and spirits but not à la carte, I would give the fifth star if it were also possible to order at the table but anyway we will go back 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well done.

Braceria with excellent self-service meat masterfully organized and waiting times reduced "to the bone"

It is an open-air barbecue in the Cisternino countryside, precisely in the Caranna district, the staff is truly top, Piero the owner is truly a special person; there are many varieties of meat, there is no table service, it's all self service, but I highly recommend it, try all their meats a little at a time, even their vegetables and their baked and ash potatoes!! Well done guys, keep it up

We have passed this place many times on our way to the beach. It is located just off a roundabout at the top of the hill leading to Cisternino from ss16. We always wondered what was here. Our deciding factor was seeing the TV showing the Euro football outside so we went in. It's a butcher's/grocery with an outside barbecue - you order your food and then it is cooked fresh for you. It is self service and very relaxed. The food was good and value for money. We will definitely visit again - perhaps on our way back from the beach!
