osteria radici In Gravina in puglia

Lunch at of my favorite restaurants in Gravina, Osteria Radici, built into a cave on the road to the ravine and the aqueduct bridge Their focus is on traditional Gravinese food made with local ingredients. We started with their fried zucchini with mint and the bruschetta with a peperoni preserve and pallone di Gravina cheese. For mains, we had the spicy assassins’s pasta and the braciole di cavallo, along with wine from Radici’s vineyard (a blend of Primitivo, Nero di Troia, and Montepulciano). For dessert, sporcamuss, crispy puff pastry filled with custard. Service is excellent and the restaurant is beautifully appointed, especially during the holidays! A wonderful “last supper” on our Pugliese tour!

Lunch for a baptism. The waiters were very courteous and helpful. The food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Great experience for trying local food and wine. Excellent service.

Kindness, excellent dishes, beautiful surroundings.

Nothing special, very disappointed

Visited the restaurant yesterday evening. The best our gastronomic experience through traveling the Puglia. Impeccable service, tasty dishes (especially beef tartar Gravina-style and L’Uovo dessert), cozy and relaxing atmosphere… Would definitely come again, if we’re ever in Gravina again. Highly recommend! Greetings from Ukraine :)

Traditional Gravina food in a charming location

Overall, a very quaint location, with very good appetizers and first courses. It's a shame, however, that the service was incredibly slow and the dessert was a bit off.

The food wasn't bad, but the service was terrible. You were lucky if you could even stop a waiter. The room we were in was practically abandoned, and they almost never came by. It took us two and a half hours to eat an appetizer and a first course. They brought the plates, and you had to ask them for the cutlery, which they forgot. We asked for the appetizers, and once they arrived and we were finished, no one told us, and no one came to ask how we wanted to continue. We had to stop a waiter who was passing by to another table. When the main course arrived for one person, the other had to wait over half an hour for it. The appetizer was meager for two people, including a piece of parmigiana to share, two fried cheese balls, two small cakes, another small cake of a different kind to share, and some seasoned cooked ham, for an excessive price of €40 for the appetizer alone. Disappointed by this experience, I don't know how it got such a high rating.

Excellent food Traditional dishes with a modern twist Charming location
