La Chiacchieretta In Vernole

I had lunch at La Chiacchieretta and can say without hesitation that it's one of those places that stays in your heart. The food is plentiful and divine, with dishes that smell of home, of true tradition, of those recipes that speak for themselves and need no frills. The atmosphere is very convivial and intimate, one of those spaces that exudes authenticity in every detail: you sit down and immediately feel welcomed, as if you were a guest of someone you've known forever. The owner, Maria Grazia, deserves a special mention. A fantastic woman with a contagious vivacity. Gritty, decisive, determined, but above all, profoundly competent in what she does. You can tell she loves this job and does it with true passion: she welcomes, advises, tells stories, and makes the experience even more special with her energy. La Chiacchieretta isn't just a place to eat well: it's a place where you can experience a piece of tradition, carried forward with heart and character. Highly recommended.

A tiny restaurant in the central square of Strudà. It's a little gem of a place. Homemade cuisine with truly delicious dishes. The appetizers are delicious (I highly recommend the fried cod) and the first courses are excellent. The flavor of the homemade pasta is unmistakable. Don't get carried away when ordering, as the portions are more than generous. A quick tip: follow Grazia's advice and you won't regret it.

A very charming place in the main square of Strudà...the cuisine is typical Salento, very well prepared...the dishes are very good and made with excellent ingredients. The owner/cook is very lively and the service is very friendly. Prices are on the high side.

A wedding favor with excellent cuisine, the fruit of love and passion

We stumbled upon this place by chance, after a phone call asking for information about a supposed Tripe Festival that was supposed to be held in this area 😄 ... so we decided to come here for dinner given the curious call... the owner and her assistant were very kind, courteous, and friendly. Here, Grandma's cooking reigns supreme, the atmosphere is typical of 16th-century Salento, and the prices are more than fair. I highly recommend it. PS The Tripe Festival didn't arrive 😄

Eccezionale . Maria Grazia ogni sera ti allieta con la sua simpatia e soprattutto con i suoi piatti . Cibo spettacolare , sapori unici . Chi si trova in Salento e non ha ancora provato la Chiacchieretta non sa cosa si perde . Superlativo tutto .

Small restaurant on the main square. The ladies are extremely friendly. The food is very good (the horse meat morsels are excellent), as well as various fried dishes.

Truly authentic home cooking. Generous and tasty dishes at fair prices. All in a small Salento square away from the tourist crowds. The woman serving us was very kind. The dedication book she gave us at the end of the dinner was an added bonus ❤️

The food is good but the menu doesn't have much choice.

Un piccolo miracolo gastronomico nel cuore del Salento, con una ospitalità cordiale e generosa. Porzioni abbondanti, ingredienti della tradizione e abbinamenti gustosi: la giusta chiusura dopo la visita ad Acaya
