Qualo In Galatone

02/06/2026: I had lunch at Corte dei Simonari on April 19th. I was impressed by the location, which perfectly reflects our Salento cuisine. The owner and staff were very kind and knowledgeable. Their traditional cuisine has nothing to do with the shoddy quality we often find in trattorias today, but is instead the epitome of Salento art, respect for food, and the celebration of simple flavors. It stems from the peasant tradition of creating nutritious meals with few ingredients, often found in reclaimed land or locally sourced. Corte dei Simonari's cuisine is recognized as a form of sustainable fine dining, beloved for its authenticity and homey flavor. Bravo! 👏❤️

01/06/2026: A magical place and an unforgettable experience. The owner, who is also the chef, is very welcoming and offers refined local cuisine, prepared with passion and authenticity. I've been there in both summer and winter. In winter, the dishes simmer in the fireplace, in terracotta pots, which gives them an exceptional flavor and an old-fashioned charm. I rediscovered all the flavors of my childhood, those of my mother and my family. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who wants to enjoy a truly authentic gastronomic experience in the Salento region.
