La Locanda del Porto In Brindisi

09/07/2026: A restaurant with a very unique rustic decor, outside Ceglie Messapica. You can't pass it by, you have to go there on purpose. We went there on the recommendation of the guy we took the Ape tour of Ostuni with, and we thank him wholeheartedly. The staff is extremely kind and helpful, both the owner and the waiters, all young and well-trained. I only gave the atmosphere three stars because there's no air conditioning, which is essential for me in this heat. The food, however, deserves five stars and more; it's the only restaurant where I found dishes that were different from the usual offerings. Starting with the appetizer, which consists of a whopping 16 courses, including special fried dishes like prickly pear paddles or frittatas with wild herbs. Unfortunately, after the appetizer, we were already full and didn't eat anything else, until dessert, a refreshing apple and orange grenadine, almost a sorbet. The price was fair for the quality.

05/07/2026: We went to Gino's and had a really good time! The atmosphere is authentic, no-frills, and you immediately feel at ease. The staff is friendly and always smiling, while the dishes are generous, carefully prepared, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. The quality-price ratio is also excellent. A place where you eat well and experience true hospitality. If you're passing through Ceglie Messapica, it's definitely worth a stop. Kudos to the entire staff; keep up the good work!
