A place in stone, at the entrance one could say the historic center of S.Agata di Puglia, a small village perched on the Dauni mountains and perhaps the one with the most extensive view of the territory and the surrounding hills. The Canonica della Canonica is managed by a gentleman who I was able to meet at the end of my lunch, a formidable chef who rightly boasts of the delicacies he prepares and with good reason. Because you see, in this place you eat 'ancient flavours': the appetizers are those that grandmothers typically prepared many years ago, based on preserves or cooked and/or pickled vegetables; the grilled meat has the taste of the past, it is not commercial; the place then, built in an ancient space of stone walls, with tables also arranged in 'niches' on the sides of the central hall. In the end the tables are numbered, it is not a place for large groups, but it seems like a place for romantics, travellers, small families eager to eat not well. Very good. Yes, I should also add that I paid just €20 for my lunch and I ate a lot. I understand why places like this are very visited, appreciated and known even outside the country. All thanks to the food, the place, the quality and the courtesy of those who manage the kitchen and those who serve at the tables. My most sincere compliments.

A real experience in the authentic flavors of the Daunian sub-Apennines.
Highly recommended for any occasion, it allows you to truly feel at home.
Very friendly staff and a place easily accessible from the main square of the town.
Fantastic appetizers, typical of tradition. First courses of great quality: above all, cavajuole, typical ravioli filled with sweetened ricotta served with ragout.
We will be back and gladly!

A pearl, both on an architectural and culinary level. Traditional "poor" cuisine. I will return with foreign friends.

Very nice place in a characteristic place, simple and quality food. Low prices. Owners not very "welcoming", environment without background music, barely a greeting at the entrance.

Restaurant in the streets of the historic center of Sant'Agata. A single internal room with stone walls already conveys that touch of traditionality that the cuisine also expresses.
The prices are quite reasonable, considering that both the first and second courses cost from 10 euros down, for a 50 euro dinner for 2.
We consumed:
-1 mixed platter + vegetables in oil (mortadella, Milano salami and ventricina were prevalent on the platter)
-lamb ribs
- grilled caciocavallo
-mashed broad beans and chicory
-2 liters of house wine
-2 coffees
Apart from the platter (in which mortadella, Milano salami and ventricina were prevalent, not really up my alley), everything was very good. I would go back to try the first courses too, the slightly more traditional ones.
Of note, the bathroom was very clean.

One of the best foods we had in italy by far, without even mentioning the fact price-quality.
Top rec:

-primo piatto: orecchiette al tergamino
-dolce: profiteroli
Really good food for a good price
