La Corte degli Ulivi In Ortelle

We had such a fantastic meal, really enjoyed it. It is beautiful here and the service is incredibly sweet.

The restaurant is a small, well-maintained gem that allows you to dine poolside, nestled in a small, well-kept garden. We've been stopping by to say hello to the owner for years now when we're in the area. The cuisine is top-notch. The dishes are meticulously selected, both in terms of ingredients and presentation. The service is prompt and attentive. The staff is very courteous and helpful. Well done everyone. Recommended.

A great find in this small town in the Salento hinterland. The food is high-quality and divinely cooked! The service is excellent and fast, and the atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing! I recommend it to anyone who happens to be in the area!

Lovely place in Vignacastrisi. Stayed there and had dinner there in the evening. Great place where they had set up in the garden around the pool. Delicious food, nice atmosphere with friendly staff, good prices. Very nice arrangement. Recommended

Spectacular location, very friendly owner, excellent food with dishes that aren't predictable or classic. Good service, friendly staff, 4 stars for the "maintenance manager's" minor oversights.

Dinner with friends in a beautiful location, with excellent food and equally excellent service...

Thank you so much for the lovely evening

We dined al fresco by the pool one summer evening. The atmosphere was beautiful and the food superb. The house appetizers are highly recommended. We will definitely be back.

The staff were extremely courteous and offered a warm welcome. The dining room was decorated in bright Mediterranean colors with references to local traditions, and the large window overlooks the beautiful garden. After a glass of sparkling wine, a warm welcome from the kitchen, a basket of homemade breads, and a glass of high-quality olive oil, we chose a selection of appetizers, mostly seafood, all excellent, made with top-quality ingredients, expertly cooked and paired, and never dull (I particularly mention the crispy parcel filled with shrimp tartare and the pan with snapper and green beans). The fava bean puree with chicory and slices of crispy fried bread were excellent, accompanied by a huge, freshly fried prawn. The first courses we chose were incredibly tasty: sagne incannulate with mussels and clams, and spaghetti with cherry tomato and snapper sauce, both delicious with thick, flavorful sauces, served in generous portions in large aluminum pans. A true delight for the taste buds! We couldn't move on to main courses or desserts, despite so many tempting dishes. The wine list is also very interesting. We'll definitely be back: it's a restaurant worth the long trip alone!

Finally! Finding a good restaurant around here isn't easy. But here... salvation at last! 🫶 Excellent fish and meat dishes, very friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended! 👍
