Osteria del Corso In Monte sant'angelo

11/07/2025: Excellent in every way. Typical Apulian food. Excellent value for money. The owner, Mr. Pio, is a pleasant and kind person. We've been coming for 25 years. An unmissable stop in San Giovanni Rotondo.

08/07/2025: Found online, the trattoria boasts (perhaps in another life) numerous Tripadvisor awards and reviews that are nothing short of lavish. In my humble opinion, I have over 6 million views of my work, but the only truly beautiful thing is the cave in which it's located and the atmosphere it creates. The peasant menu offered is wonderful but poorly cooked: raw trofie, ditto tomatoes, sausage (just looking at it), and caciocavallo cheese that wasn't there. I don't want to continue with the orecchiette; I'll move on to the cheese plate for the appetizer: mozzarella from a few days ago, which fell apart in the mouth, double ricotta with flavor... well, let's leave it at that and say that Mr. Pio also boasted about using buffalo mozzarella, but perhaps he's really telling a lot... about buffalo mozzarella. Industrial salami (a thin slice in half), like the cheese with chili pepper, seemed like a low-quality canestrato. The fava beans with chicory were good. And yet I didn't say I wanted to save money. In fact, two starters, a cheese plate, and a bottle of water came to 44 euros! I'm sorry, my dear, maybe you were better before, and please change the chef, if that's what you call him.
