Osteria Monacelle In Ostuni

I went for dinner as a couple. We had a table on the terrace; it was a fairly breezy but pleasant evening. The service was excellent, and the dishes were well-received. We had a starter of ricotta-filled ravioli with ragù sauce. (See photo) For main courses, we had brasciole with tomato sauce and breadcrumbs, and lamb with cacio e pepe sauce, baked potato, and chicory (a little too bitter). (See photo) We had two glasses of local red wine, which were very good. Quite reasonable value for money. Recommended!

An average restaurant, typical of a tourist spot. The menu offers very little variety, with the usual standard tourist fare. The flavors are overall decent, but nothing memorable. In the evening, the atmosphere can be quite noisy and chaotic, partly due to the confusion among the waiters. We ordered stuffed eggplant for an appetizer and orecchiette with turnip greens for a main course: both were good, but the price was decidedly unjustified.

The food was average, but good and well-presented. We had two appetizers, a first course, and a second course for about €37/person. The setting where we ate (the terrace) was very welcoming and charming. The service and cleanliness were also adequate. Overall, I don't think it's a "touristy" restaurant, but the food is good, with a reasonable quality-price ratio. We're still in Ostuni, a city with a lot of tourism.

The restaurant is located in the center of Ostuni, making it convenient for those on a walk. Once seated, we were served quickly. The food was decent, average. But the real downside was the waiter who "invited" us to get up three times because there were people waiting, even though we had half a bottle of wine to finish and we'd been there for just over 40 minutes... what a shame!

Typical Puglian dishes and a beautiful rooftop.

Very good food at a reasonable price. The upstairs terrace is very nice!

I don't know why the high ratings. The food is nothing special. They bring tap water to the table, which they then charge €2 for. We arrived for lunch half an hour before closing and got the feeling that they wanted to get rid of us as soon as possible. I have no words for the waiter.

Food is fine, service is fine, view on terasse is incredible
