During one of our usual gastronomic explorations in Puglia, we ended up at Ritrovo degli Ostinati… and thank goodness they're stubborn, because it's definitely worth it!
The place is very well-kept and has something truly unique: it feels like eating inside a cave, with the typical exposed stone walls creating a warm and characteristic atmosphere.
The staff is kind and helpful, but above all, the food is truly excellent and the price is right.
In short, one of those places where you leave wanting to return. Highly recommended! 👍🏻

Excellent restaurant in a historic area of Massafra, near the Church of Santi Medici. A custom-built restoration of vaulted ceilings and traditional dishes. Special wines from the Amastuola cellar, especially "Cento Sassi," 15.5% ABV, pair well with fava bean and chicory dishes, spaghetti with olive, caper, and tomato pesto and crumbled tarallo, and a meat and potato medallion. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Very good service.

I went for my first anniversary with my girlfriend. Everything was prepared to perfection, both the food and the table (decorated with a special candle and fabric hearts on the tablecloth).
The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, everything was perfect.
If we have the opportunity again, we'd love to return.

I went to Il Ritrovo degli Ostinati restaurant and had a truly wonderful experience.
The place is truly enchanting, it feels like a cave: it's worth going just to see it.
I ate typical Apulian dishes, such as bombette, sausage, and straccetti, all very tasty and well-prepared.
The dessert was excellent, perfect to end the dinner.
Professional, kind, and attentive service.
Good value for money.
Highly recommended. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

The atmosphere is quaint yet refined and classy.
Carved into the rock, it makes everything a little magical... like the menu!
For the very first time, I found a restaurant that made me feel at home, even though it's 1,000 km away.
I'm from Veneto, and NEVER before have I eaten typical dishes from my region (radicchio and tiramisu) prepared as if I were at home.
I can't deny that I was moved.
The staff is young, knowledgeable, and has the warmth and friendliness that is so characteristic of the South!
Thanks for everything, we'll definitely be back 😍
