La Locanda del Ristoro In Cisternino

We had a wonderful evening and enjoyed the lovely food. The staff was very friendly. A special word of thanks to Daniela, our waitress. She really went all the way to make us feel at home.

Only 2 words to describe this place. NUMBER ONE

Where do I start? Quiet, relaxed village atmosphere. The owners greet you at every diner because, although we've forgotten, it's a sign of respect to greet each other. A simple, concise menu with dishes that make choosing difficult. To start, pasta with seafood (without cheese, they don't bring it and it's not necessary). Then, tripe. Mongongo for us or tripe for the Spaniards. Very much our style, but... they bring you cheese, which we wouldn't use for that dish. I prefer it without cheese, because if you add it, it almost looks like pasta. A complimentary glass of fruit sorbet is delicious. Dessert? And... yes! A warm chocolate and pear mortaal cake, with a scoop of ice cream that we thought was American cream, but they said milk. Brilliant. Local wine in a liter jug. Total: 47 euros. One of the best experiences of these 30 days in Italy. The attentiveness of the people is amazing... a gem to enjoy again ❤️

Excellent meal at a very reasonable price, plus the owner is welcoming and speaks a little French. Don't hesitate.

The real traditional Apulian cuisine

Excellent food in traditional local dishes. Prepared with love and kindness by Vito and his family. They are friendly and courteous, proactive but never pushy. Highly recommended

Fabulous starter, idyllic orecchiette, fast service and very kind waitress!

Nice discovery, we had a great time, ate very well and were pampered by the super host Daniela... highly recommended!!

Simple place, the service is excellent. The traditional and sincere cuisine is also excellent

Extremely good food, calm atmosphere even when the restaurant is full. We hope to come again
