La Bottega Della Carne In Squinzano

Feeling at home Mr. Claudio and his wife welcomed us like family: it was late, they were closing, and they allowed us to have lunch anyway, ensuring a valuable and unusual service. Tasty dishes, with quality ingredients and excellent preparation. And above all, the kindness and hospitality of the owners, very friendly and helpful. Good value for money.

The value for money is unmatched. Don't expect a Hilton hotel, but trust me, you'll feel like you're at grandma's house. Thanks, Claudio.

[NOVEMBER 2025 REVIEWS]: Today we returned to "La bottega della carne" in Squinzano, where we ate a spectacular grilled meat! The meat was incredibly tender, melting in your mouth, and the chicken thigh was cooked to perfection, slightly crispy on the outside and incredibly tender on the inside. We also came here on Saturday, where Dad and I tried the set menu, and we were very satisfied that day too! I recommend all my friends who live in Puglia (or are coming to Puglia for a vacation) to stop by this place. I guarantee you'll leave satisfied, both with the food and the owner's friendliness! [SEPTEMBER 2021 REVIEW]: We stumbled upon it by chance, and despite our initial skepticism, we ate deliciously! Everything was cooked to perfection, with the perfect portions! The owners are two wonderful, very friendly people! We'll definitely be back!!!

We returned to this place today, our third time. We had an excellent mixed grill, cooked very well—crispy, but not tough. I recommend everyone to visit this place; it's truly worth it.

A grill restaurant offering meat and traditional dishes. The atmosphere and cuisine are reminiscent of family meals. The dishes are simple but flavorful. The cured meats are homemade. We had the fixed menu for €25, including drinks. The mixed pittule (a type of pork shoulder) was tasty, the mixed cold cuts were decent, the lasagna was good, and the porchetta was truly delicious. The service was excellent, both friendly and quick. The decor is a bit too basic, but in keeping with the restaurant's character.

A truly exceptional grill restaurant! Everything is traditional, with authentic flavors, just like the old days. The portions are generous and carefully prepared, and each dish reflects a passion for local cuisine. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, making you feel right at home. A place definitely worth a try.

Welcoming place and excellent food. The owner was friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome. Excellent value for money. We'll definitely be back. Kudos also to the young waiter, who was always attentive and smiling.

We had the opportunity to visit this restaurant in Squinzano and it was an excellent discovery. We were able to sample many of Salento's main specialties, from traditional cured meats to local meats, not to mention a delicious lasagna made using artisanal methods using fresh pasta sheets. All this in a truly family-friendly atmosphere, thanks to the friendly and welcoming owners, and at truly fair prices. We'll gladly return, despite the nearly 100 km journey to get here. Our sincere compliments and thanks for everything.

Braceria La Bottega della Carne is much more than just your average grill. Here, every dish exudes tradition: homemade pasta, authentic side dishes, and desserts prepared with timeless recipes. The meat is exquisite, carefully selected and cooked to perfection, capable of captivating even the most discerning palates. Grandpa Claudio will welcome you with his kindness and warmth, making you feel truly at home. The atmosphere is familiar, relaxed, and full of the kind of hospitality that is increasingly rare these days. A place that's more than just a dinner, but an experience: highly recommended for those seeking quality, tradition, and an authentic welcome. Greetings from Monopoli

Claudio and Ivana, the two owners, are kind and helpful. They offer excellent quality dishes featuring typical Salento flavors. Orecchiette with turnip greens and lemon sorbet...unparalleled!!!!!
