Li Jalantuumene In Monte sant'angelo

Refined, authentic, and tasty cuisine. The simplicity of tradition combined with skill and care in preparation.

A restaurant specifically for intelligent people. Everything else is worth trying. Thanks, Gege.

My photos don’t do justice to Gege’s amazing food. He and his wife have created an exceptional place to experience Monte Sant’ Angelo and its local cuisine. Hopefully his city and Los Angeles can become sister cities someday.

The cuisine is refined. We enjoyed a superb bean soup. The dessert was delicious. The chef is attentive.

Excellent restaurant in everything, from the food to the service. Choice of various tasting menus, inspired by local tradition and with local products. Chef Gegé specializes in vegetarian cuisine, and it was truly a breath of fresh air if I think about how difficult it is sometimes to find good veg food in the area (despite the tradition being mainly vegetarian!). His creations were excellent and the way he explained the courses and interacted with us made the dinner engaging and welcoming. The flavors took me back to the food my mother used to cook, with an added touch of refinement. All accompanied by a good local Primitivo. Compliments also to the lady who served us at the table, truly professional. I highly recommend.

Gargano on the table. At Gegè, the flavors of Gargano approach the palate with a slow and gentle pace. The grace of those who have been cooking the products of their land with wisdom and experience for a lifetime. The zero-mile vegetables sautéed in extra virgin olive oil taste like old-fashioned cooking. The orecchiette with yellow datterino tomatoes and mugnoli are fragrant and light. The ravioli with caciocavallo podolico are excellent. The very tender meat served with local vegetables is nothing short of exquisite. The service of the hosts is excellent, serving the dishes with the naturalness and refinement of those who have always done this job! Li Jalantuumene is a must for those who love the good cuisine of the past surrounded by white houses and pampered by a gentle breeze.

In mezzo ai fantastici vicoli del centro storico di Monte Sant'Angelo in prossimità della grotta ho trovato un locale carino ed elegante uno chef preparato, creativo e brillante. Ricercato senza esagerazioni

A wonderful surprise. Being a Monday night, we were afraid we would have dinner in a touristy place. The restaurant was closed when we arrived, but the owner and chef Gege told us on the phone that he would open it right away. Not only that, he prepared a tasting menu for us, based on Gargano products and very deliciously cooked. He also offered us a good, cheerful and respectful treatment. It is an experience that we 100% recommend to anyone looking for Gargano gastronomy!!

Gegè è “The Best”, ho scritto come promesso a Gegè. Ma non solo per questo. Lo È davvero. Posto top, persona top, cibo top, vino top. Solo, la prossima volta un rosso un po’ più giovane, Gegè. Sai com’è. 😉
