La Ruota Di Tondo Eupremio In Copertino

I had the pleasure of dining at Ristorante Trattoria La Ruota in Copertino with my in-laws, and the experience was truly unforgettable. The food was absolutely spectacular—everything was handmade by the staff with such care and authenticity. This is a family-owned gem, and the warmth and hospitality were evident from the moment we arrived. The owner personally came to our table, chatted with us, and made us feel like long-time friends rather than first-time guests. As someone visiting from Chicago, my in-laws wanted me to experience real Italian cuisine—and this was exactly that. The flavors, the freshness, the atmosphere—everything exceeded my expectations. On top of that, the prices were incredibly reasonable. In the U.S., dining out for two people can easily cost between $120–$200. Here, we enjoyed an amazing meal for four people and paid less than $200—with far superior quality. I highly, highly recommend this place. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

We will be back again, everything was excellent and welcoming

After the visit a few Sundays ago with a group of friends to the Grottella sanctuary, the Castle, the churches and finally surprised by a sudden rain we immediately took refuge in the restaurant located near the Castle, where we had naturally booked. We didn't know the place at all and we were pleasantly surprised by the welcome of the friendly owner who immediately refreshed us with a welcome of hot appetizers and wine. We continued with abundant first courses and second courses with side dishes. We ended on a high note with an exquisite homemade dessert. Truly affordable prices. Lovely people, welcoming and clean place. We will return again in anticipation of the next excursions in the surrounding areas... Thanks to all the staff and congratulations for their professionalism!

Il proprietario e il personale sono persone squisite e tantissmo gentili, anche il locale è molto bello. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, il cibo è squisito e verameeeente buono. Ci sono andato due sere di fila, ho preso carne ed orecchiette consiglio vivamente.

Good pizza, a little thin, but well seasoned. Good chocolate soufflé. Lots of choice of pizzas, but little choice of beers. And above all... pay attention to the expiry date of the beer they serve you: ours had expired and the date had been meticulously canceled on all four, in an unsuccessful attempt to make it seem like a coincidence. The waitress was quite nervous. We had agreed with the owner that we would order the pizzas after consuming the starters, but she insisted on ordering them straight away. Okay. Obviously they had leftovers, so we asked for some takeaway boxes (N.B. it's a pizzeria that also does takeaway, so it's stocked with boxes): he brought us 3 small sheets of foil with 3 paper bags. It's a shame this superficial attitude.

The restaurant is housed in a historic noble residence tastefully renovated. The menu includes a vast quantity of courses and varieties of pizzas, whose dough is very light and digestible. In summer you can dine in a spacious and lovely garden

Excellent restaurant for hospitality, service and, above all, fresh and excellent quality food. We will happily return.
