la cucina In Brindisi

A welcoming location in the beautiful historic center of Santo Stefano al Mare. The dishes, from appetizer to dessert, were all well-received, as was the excellent sparkling wine that accompanied them. The service was courteous and attentive.

I ordered a filet mignon according to the menu, but received a shoe sole covered in grease. See photo. Not good, not bad. Absolutely average.

"A little place just the way I like it: welcoming, warm, and makes you feel right at home. The owners are attentive, kind, and always ready to recommend fresh seafood dishes, their true specialty. The delicacies they offer are designed for the most refined palates and lovers of good food. My favorite dish is the marinated anchovies (not the industrial ones)... they're simply delicious, the mussel stew, the fried fish, the grilled fish... I come here for the fish. Try it and believe it. One day, maybe I'll try the meat, too.

We happened upon it by chance, seeing it was crowded... we stopped... we ate divinely, everything cooked beautifully, to perfection, and with quality ingredients! We went back the next day too 👍🏼 Highly recommended the fried fish, never tasted better! Friendly, kind, clean place, lots of space inside and outside.

Evening at Claudio and Gianpaolo's always excellent dishes

We came to eat at this place. The prices were medium-high, but the friendliness was a plus. The dishes were a bit limited in quantity, but still, quite good.

The name says it all: "The Kitchen." The kitchen, made like it used to be, where grandma and mom added a dash of love and passion to every dish! The pace was slow but steady, just like the gentle flame... They spent hours in the kitchen offering us unforgettable delicacies!!! Natural, fresh ingredients, seasonal of course... This is the kitchen! Every time I go, I don't look at the menu; I always ask what they recommend, and I must say, I'm never wrong! Only dessert is a constant: mandarin sorbet!!! Simply exquisite, served with a basil leaf! The stars are real; try them and believe them!
