For at least 40 years, this restaurant and pizzeria has been a landmark not only for the small town in which it's located but also for many surrounding towns. Traditional Apulian appetizers, carefully prepared homemade pickles and pickles, earthenware terrines filled with all sorts of delicacies cooked in the open-fire oven, outstanding pizza and "schattata," baked orecchiette in earthenware that alone are worth the visit, along with the variety of beers. It's certainly worth the trip a few kilometers: the inconvenience is well worth it.

In the heart of Sannicandro di Bari, hidden in a dead-end street from which it takes its name, lies Il Nascondiglio: one of the town's most historic establishments, established for nearly forty years.
Entering is a bit like stepping back in time. Here, everything has remained as it was: from the tables to the benches, unchanged since its founding, contributing to a simple, informal, and deeply convivial atmosphere. And it is precisely this consistency, this loyalty to its identity, that has allowed it to resist trends without ever losing its charm.
The cuisine follows the same philosophy: few frills and plenty of substance. The dishes showcase the region with authentic, bold flavors that leave their mark. The pizza, with its thick dough and lack of the modern honeycomb crust, is reminiscent of homemade pizza: a choice that may not appeal to everyone, but it remains digestible and consistent with the restaurant's style.
The real advice is to let yourself be guided by the first courses and, above all, the tripe chop, the true highlight and most refined item on the menu.
The bill is more than fair, allowing you to leave feeling full and satisfied.
P.S. There's no phone signal in the depths of the restaurant... but, come to think of it, that's perhaps the detail that completes the experience: here you truly dine in peace 😂

Nothing to complain about the food, especially if you're a carnivore.
We made reservations at 9 PM and were seated shortly after 10 PM.
Not recommended on weekends.

Perhaps the best place in the entire province to eat authentically without spending too much, in a characteristic, almost deliberately rural setting that perfectly embodies the essence of central Puglia. These are the places people should go for food, not sushi. Well done, Michele and his father.

A less than stellar experience. Distracted and unprofessional service. Insane wait times. I'll leave aside any comments about the quality of the food. I simply recommend removing pizza from the menu.
