La Chiacchieretta In Vernole

Cozy place, very intimate with very few seats (you need to book) authentic food in the Salento tradition. Very kind, polite and competent owner. Excellent prices.

The owner is very good, highly recommended

Recommended place, the owner/chef is very good

Few words but well spent. We eat very well. Truly welcoming and familiar environment, starters and first courses with the truly authentic taste of grandmother. Those courgette flowers with ricotta are spectacular. The delicious ricotta cakes are divine. Impeccable and very professional service even on Saturday evenings. The girl is truly a sweetheart 😊. Very good house wine and a really honest price. Highly recommended. Compliments

Intimate and delightful environment. Excellent cuisine as well as the service.

Tappa fissa durante le ns vacanze pugliesi. Cucina strepitosa condita dalla simpatia di una affettuosissima Grazia. Abbiamo mangiato quasi tutte le sere durante una vacanza di 9 gg e ogni sera ci ha coccolato facendoci assaggiare le specialità della regione. Un uso sapiente di ottime materie prime: antipasto Chiacchieretta (un tripudio di verdure), polpette, baccalà fritto, fave e cicoria…. tutti i piatti proposti ci hanno entusiasmato. Torneremo!!!! GRAZIE

Fries are great, pasta is delicious

Cozy place, genuine cuisine, places with a soul

I ate outside this restaurant on a weekday. The town was particularly empty and therefore I was able to appreciate the convivial atmosphere that could be felt: tables near the small square and acquaintances who stopped by to say hello to the owner. The service was informal but very personal: the girl who served us was accommodating, available in telling us about the menu verbally and made us feel at ease straight away. Curious to try many dishes, he warned us of the large portions and made us order specifically in steps. We ate orecchiette with tomatoes, courgettes and caciocavallo, an appetizer of frittini (pittule, potato croquettes and aubergine meatballs), sagne cherry tomatoes with pesto and strong ricotta. Excellent homemade pasta, fried foods that are not at all heavy and well made, exceptional pesto and ricotta sagne. I went to the restaurant but I had the impression of eating at home because of how I was treated and how I felt. The place is not in an extremely busy area but it is just a few minutes' drive from Torre dell'Orso to Lecce. I highly recommend you go and try it!

Ristorantino a conduzione familiare nella piccola cittadina di Struda’. Grazia proprietaria/cuoca appassionata e dedita al suo lavoro vi delizierà con la pasta fatta in casa e con materie prime minuziosamente da lei scelte. Insuperabili i ravioli con ricotta e noci e le sagne n’cannulate, anche con semplice sugo come solo le nonne di una volta sapevano fare. Servizio semplice ma caloroso e accogliente. Conto super onesto. Assolutamente consigliato. Come cenare a casa di un’amica.
