Il Poeta Contadino In Alberobello

If you walk 2-3 minutes to the left along the main street before entering the Trulli Zone in Alberobello, you will see it on your right. This is a representative restaurant in Puglia that continued to receive one Michelin star for many years until a few years ago. Recently, the restaurant has been divided into a Ristorante and an Osteria, and you can choose whichever you prefer. At the Osteria, you can enjoy traditional Puglia dishes such as orecchiette in a casual setting, and at the Ristorante, you can enjoy traditional Puglia dishes with a modern twist. Of particular note is the wine, which boasts one of the best collections in Italy. Definitely a restaurant worth visiting in Alberobello. They are understanding of Japanese people and the service is excellent! The photo shows Cima di rapa (rapeseed blossom) ravioli, one of the courses at the Ristorante, and Cima di rapa orecchiette at the Osteria. There are two entrances in the same building, so choose whichever you prefer. There are much fewer Japanese people in Alberobello than there used to be. This is a rare restaurant that is just right for Japanese tastes and stomach capacity.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this restaurant deserves it. A perfect union between traditional and classic products, a good wine list and excellent desserts. We had grilled scamorze, local cheeses and capocollo di Martina Franca with burrata, and then continued with the historic and wonderful bombette made here to perfection. Folk atmosphere, from the flooring to the choice of tables, to the chandeliers and details here and there on the walls, which make it very much a tavern for travellers.

The Ostetia Del Poeta in Alberobello, Italy. offers imaginative Italian dishes individually prepared by master chef Leonardo Marco and his team.

New Year's Eve dinner. Not being local, we relied on Google and we weren't wrong. A wonderful experience, the dishes offered were one better than the other, we struggled to choose a favourite. Elegant but familiar atmosphere. The waiters were very courteous and prepared. We were surprised by the fact that, having not drunk wine and spirits included in the menu, a significant discount was applied to us. A place that we absolutely recommend for the quality of the dishes, the service and the attention to the customer.

Very nice and well looked after, friendly and competent staff, 10 people, we had different dishes, everyone was satisfied

Typical place, very suggestive and elegant. Very courteous and attentive service. The burrata and capocollo melted in your mouth... delicious and of excellent quality. Advised

I had lunch on the day of the Immaculate Conception with two other friends, good food, plentiful and served well by Chef CIRO.

SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICESPIRALIDOSE!!! Wonderful environment, impeccable and truly courteous service, you cannot give an opinion on the food and wine and to say perfect is almost an understatement… I found the best orecchiette with turnip greens in all of Puglia here... The heartwarming chops with sauce 🥹 that make you drop your arms to your sides and exclaim: "nooo okay..." and you can't help but make the complete slipper, you can only find them here!!! Starters, cheeses and wines... top!!! Phenomenal prices…

Six of us had lunch on Sunday 27 October in this restaurant, on the tavern side, with an overall positive experience. Starting from the food, the quality of the dishes was discreet: the flavors are well balanced and the portions adequate, even if some dishes did not particularly impress me with their creativity or intensity of taste. However, we note the attention to fresh ingredients and good care in presentation. The service is one of the strong points of the place. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with courtesy and seated immediately, without waiting. The staff were friendly and professional throughout the evening, always available to answer questions and recommend dishes, but without being intrusive. The speed of the service was impeccable: the dishes arrived at the table with well-managed times, which made the experience even more relaxing. The bill was adequate, perhaps slightly higher than the overall quality of the experience. The prices seemed more or less balanced and without any particular surprises, and in general everything seemed mostly adequate compared to the offer we received in terms of service and quality of the dishes. A special applause to the staff, who stood out for their courtesy and professionalism, maintaining constant attention towards the customer. In short, a restaurant that I recommend to anyone looking for a pleasant evening, with quick and attentive service, very attentive staff and a quality-price ratio that certainly satisfies.”

Cenamos en el lado más formal del restaurante. La comida, el servicio y el ambiente eran increíbles. El comedor era precioso; paredes de piedra, muebles antiguos, manteles blancos, y los candelabros más increíbles colgando de los techos abovedados. Nuestro servidor fue muy atento y conocedor del menú y guió nuestras selecciones. La comida en sí... ¡Increíble! Absolutamente delicioso! Todos nuestros aperitivos y platos principales eran fantásticos. El propio chef se acercó a nuestra mesa para agradecernos y preguntarnos cómo disfrutamos de nuestra comida. Fue la mejor cena de nuestra estancia. Nuestra familia disfruta de la buena cena, y no escribo comentarios, pero basado en nuestra cena, sentí la necesidad de compartir nuestra experiencia.
