Calling it a restaurant is an understatement: it's simply beautiful and unexpected.
You'd never expect the beauty and attention to detail I found on Tuesday evening in this sprawling establishment.
The same attention to detail is evident in the food and service, which are excellent, excellent, excellent, if not excellent.
It's a given that I'll be returning even though I'm 1,100 km away.
Thank you and sincere compliments.

After a year, I returned to this charming, historic restaurant, composed of many small rooms, but I was disappointed. The traditional Salento cuisine, once of a notable standard, has unfortunately declined in both quality and presentation. All the appetizers were mediocre, the first courses, including the maritati, were decent, and the guaccetto was exceptional. The desserts were good, and the recommended wine was mediocre. The service was friendly but confused and unprofessional. The price was high for the quality of the food.

A positive experience, although I had higher expectations, likely influenced by the reviews and the Michelin accreditations the place holds. The appetizers, however, are unmissable and fully represent the deliciousness and variety of Salento cuisine. I'd give the first courses a more than satisfactory rating, as would the second courses; the menu, aside from the appetizers, is certainly not very varied.
The service, while always polite and attentive, leaves something to be desired in terms of the turnaround time.

A week ago, I dined at this restaurant, which I've been frequenting for a while now when I'm in Salento. As usual, I ate excellent food with typical Apulian flavors in a quaint setting in the historic center of Racale. Kudos to the kitchen staff, the waiters, and everyone who works to achieve these excellent results. Wait for me, I'll be there as soon as I get back.

A wonderful place where you can breathe the pure Puglia... good food but nothing exceptional. The house wine is poor...
