Origano Cibo e Vino In Minervino di lecce

We’ve tried the 4-course menu: what an experience! Delicious food made with pure ingredients. Enough time between the courses to enjoy the wine pairing and beautiful garden. All staff was friendly, but a special thanks to the wine expert for the clear explanation about all their bottles. If i am ever back in this area, would visit again!

Beautiful summer restaurant in the center of Palmariggi. Food, location, service and wines of the highest quality. wholeheartedly recommended

Excellent food and excellent environment, a little less service and organization. The waiters seem a little disorganized in handling all the customers, with difficulty getting their attention and service times a little long. I would add that on the evening I went, despite it being quite early (9pm in summer) some of the dishes on the menu were no longer available, while the waiters listed the dishes off the menu only at the time of ordering, therefore when the diners had already decided what to take. Lastly, I suggest adding some non-alcoholic beer to the drinks (there is also some produced by craft breweries, and therefore in line with the spirit of the place).

Excellent cuisine, very welcoming environment, courteous and professional service. Prices are medium-high. However, it must be considered that the glasses of wine paired with each course are included in the course itself. Each wine is introduced by an expert. Perhaps because the place was full the explanation was hasty but always very polite and exhaustive

Excellent, excellent, all in all, really good.

Eating local products in Salento is not necessarily obvious. And yet, this restaurant offers elegant, generous and absolutely delicious cuisine. Go there with your eyes closed!

Everything is perfect ! Fine and tasty dishes

We had dinner in a very suggestive courtyard. The food was excellent and the imagination in the use of ingredients was truly surprising. To the eye and to the taste, exceptional dishes. Excellent prompt response to manage dessert with lactose intolerance, uncommon! Kind and knowledgeable staff, dishes and wines presented with competence and passion. The slowness of service needs to be improved, not so much for the courses but for the extra requests. Definitely a place to recommend!

Food is a joy of life. And there is no need to cook excessive or complicated dishes: fresh ingredients and a lot of love are enough in the kitchen. ❤ Do you agree? I really think so..! You know how much I love getting closer to the places I visit through cooking, I think it's an extraordinary way to get in touch with the local culture. I do it everywhere in the world and obviously even on this trip to Puglia I didn't choose by chance. The one at Origano Cibo e Vino, a restaurant in the Michelin guide 2024, was a real food and wine journey, a fantastic gourmet experience, a sensorial journey into Salento traditions. Because when customs and quality meet, unique culinary experiences are born. Origano Cibo e Vino is not simply a restaurant but a tribute to the cuisine of Salento. Each ingredient has a history and skilled hands transform those simple ingredients into delicious dishes that celebrate the territory. The restaurant - inside a historic building in the heart of Minervino di Lecce - is a little gem: very particular design for the internal rooms (antique furnishings, checkered floors, colored lampstands) and a large garden surrounded by Apulian lights that make the atmosphere suggestive. The dishes are a succession of flavors and together with the wines of the Menhir Salento winery, owner of the restaurant, a perfect combination emerges. Each glass is chosen to enhance and accompany each flavour, creating a symphony of taste that conquers and surprises. A gem that I really liked: the wine labels. Some designed by a Spanish artist are also gadgets and t-shirts - worn by the staff - and can be purchased in the large and beautiful cellar at the entrance to the restaurant.

We had already been to Oregano last year, nothing to say about the food. Very good and cared for as we remembered it. The service however was not as good. We took a platter of cheeses and cured meats to share, a hot dish each and a dessert each and more than 2 and a half hours have passed which is truly excessive considering that there was nothing cooked for the platter. The waiters seemed totally at a loss. Honest bill compared to the quality of the food.
