Le Chicche di Zia Rosa In Brindisi

Lunch at Aunt Rosa's!!! Today, passing through Cisternino with an uncontrollable craving for bombette, we stumbled upon this place after 2 pm, thinking we were completely out of time, but instead we were greeted with extreme kindness. The staff are cheerful and genuine, entertaining us pleasantly while we waited. The bombette and breaded capocollo steak were spectacular. A sincere and welcoming place, excellent prices. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!

Great place and food, would return anytime.

Great place to savor typical Apulian cuisine!

We had an early lunch here. Very polite and friendly service and food was great. The lamb was spectacular. I’m really happy we stayed there for lunch. Will visit again

Honestly, the prices are above average. As a native of Puglia who lives in the region year-round, the €3.50 cover charge alone seems like blasphemy to me.

Good service and atmosphere. Food was disappointing. We ordered a pasta with anchovies. There were definitely no anchovies and we had to ask for salt to taste it. Wine was not available by the glass, they offered a bottle for $25. Was very nice. But charged €35. Life too short to question, was nice atmosphere but think we got an off day….

Today we ate pureed fava beans, chicory, and friggitelli peppers, a typical Apulian dish. Excellent ingredients, quick staff, and the kindness of the manager, Quirico. As a native of Puglia, I will definitely return.

Disappointed by this restaurant, which at first glance seemed attractive because it was well established in a small alley, with nice little wooden tables. I had a rib steak for lunch and I wondered if it wasn't a hoax, it was so small that you could have put 3 on the plate. I think that, unfortunately, as is too often the case in restaurants these days, they serve half pieces to make more plates. Same with duck breasts for example. This rationing trend is unbearable because they charge the price of a whole piece, not half! And for the side dish with potatoes, the photo speaks for itself, there were only 4 poor little ones fighting among themselves... Such an empty plate, you had to dare to present that to a customer! The meat was still good but it's not enough to make me come back, next time I'll go to another restaurant worthy of the name.

Good meat, but ridiculous wait times. We had to call the waiter after 20 minutes of sitting to order; only after more than an hour and a half did the three main courses arrive. I understand it was crowded, but if you can't organize it, it's best not to seat customers. Quiet place, even though it's in a busy area.

Exquisite cuisine, truly excellent and traditional. Very welcoming staff, speaking Italian and French. Wonderful location in the historic center. I highly recommend it; it was a lovely surprise.
