Il Villino In Santa cesarea terme

A seaside restaurant with a breathtaking view, very refined, fresh fish cooked to perfection and served impeccably by the staff, highly recommended.

After 28 years of marriage, we returned to the villa to eat, and I must say that everything was as excellent as it was that day. Thank you.

Excellent experience! The food is excellent, fresh, and high-quality, with truly competitive prices. The location is spectacular: dining on the terrace overlooking the sea was unforgettable. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always available. I'll definitely be back!

In a central and panoramic area of ​​Santa Cesarea, with free and paid parking, Il Villino offers a beautiful and captivating sea view; an oasis of yesteryear, full of peace and relaxation that helps make your stay a truly memorable experience. We went for dinner, following a friend's recommendation as a must-see for seafood. Our expectations were confirmed; in fact, they far exceeded them. Omar, the waiter who looked after us throughout the dinner, was truly kind, helpful, and able to understand each of our needs—there were ten of us, some with food intolerances—and gave us the best advice to fully appreciate the prix fixe tasting menu, which is truly lavish, with about ten courses. A generous selection of hot and cold appetizers, as well as raw seafood (shrimp and oysters, among other things), opened our eyes and stomachs with a burst of freshness and deliciousness. Seafood salad, tuna carpaccio with pink peppercorns, fried baby octopus, stuffed mussels and scallops, and cod fillets truly tested our appetites, making them hard to resist. Then came two first courses, beautiful to look at and delicious to eat: a seafood and lobster spaghetti that touched our hearts and stimulated our taste buds, as well as delighting our eyes. Another small taste (you be the judge) of a delicate shrimp and lime risotto convinced everyone of the quality of our choice... Then came a very fresh second course, a gigantic sea bream that broke down any remaining resistance, leaving no room for criticism... Finally, the trio of breathtaking desserts that no one could say no to, beautiful to look at and above all delicious. A refreshing wine selection, including both still and sparkling whites, and a delicate rosé, made each course even more interesting and enjoyable. Coffee and a few liqueurs for the few who still wanted to ask got us started on the bill... which we were more than happy to pay this time. The final photo with Omar, our guardian angel throughout the evening, sealed an evening we'll long remember for its uniqueness. Whatever happens, we've agreed to see each other again next time... when we'll be back in these parts.

A splendid evening; truly a buona sera... The wait staff were both attentive, and accommodating, with an attention to detail that would not deny even the most timid of patron. Armando, our waiter, offered us at first the standard ‘bus tour’ red wine. After correcting for the oversight, he brought me to their cellar (more of a trophy case, if I’m being honest), and we selected a more appropriate wine: a 2002 Bartolo Mascarello barolo. The ‘other’ wine we opened was discarded without another care or charge. The evening was truly a buona sera… Casper ⚜️

A culinary gem in Puglia – authenticity you can taste! We were fortunate enough to discover this wonderful restaurant during our stay in Puglia – and it was without a doubt one of the absolute highlights of our trip. The warm, family atmosphere is immediately noticeable upon entry. The staff is warm, attentive, and takes the time to explain dishes and ingredients – with a genuine passion for Puglian cuisine. The restaurant impresses with fresh, regional ingredients, attentive service, and a calm, authentic atmosphere – without any touristy gimmicks. The linguine di mare was the highlight of the evening: perfectly cooked al dente, with a delicate seafood sauce that was intensely flavorful but not overpowering. Accompanied by a glass of local white wine – simple and harmonious. A restaurant that doesn't just serve Puglia, but lives it. If you're looking for good food without a lot of fuss, you'll find it here.

Eating excellent fish with a 180° view of one of Puglia's most beautiful seas is truly the best!

Elegant restaurant overlooking the sea. An intimate and romantic atmosphere. The seafood linguine and the house antipasto are delicious. Recommended.

I can't express an opinion, but having the Taj Mahal in Italy too is priceless 🤣🤣🤣

Il Villino is always a confirmation. A wonderful place, with wonderful people and exquisite food. Omar's attention to his customers is rare! Thank you so much for the truly wonderful lunch.
