We had dinner in this typical Apulian location, typical food with handmade orecchiette of the best consistency and flavor, varied and abundant appetizers; the town of Ceglie di Messapica is a discovery, highly recommended.

The food was really good, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the lady who made the orecchiette on the spot was legendary (though I don't know if they were actually the ones we were served; they were different sizes). It was crowded, and the service suffered—we spent three hours at the table!
The prices are definitely high.

The restaurant offers a very pleasant setting 😁
The service is exemplary, and the food is excellent. The orichiette are handmade, and I highly recommend them.
A superb find, a little out of the way, that's well worth the detour.

If you want to experience the true Puglia, Osteria Antico Arco in Ceglie Messapica is a must-see. As soon as we arrived, we were enveloped in a warm and authentic atmosphere: the carefully curated and charming location exudes a sense of tradition and hospitality. Making everything even more special was the presence of a woman who, right there in front of us, was preparing homemade orecchiette: a true feast for the eyes and the palate.
We sampled authentic and flavorful dishes, revealing the soul of Puglian cuisine. The orecchiette, incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned, were simply divine. The bombette? Soft, juicy, and irresistible. Each course exuded passion, quality ingredients, and respect for tradition.
The bill, in keeping with the quality and experience, confirmed that here you're not just paying for the food, but for a true journey through the flavors and culture of Puglia. In a word: exceptional. We'll definitely be back!

We ate delicious traditional food. The appetizer for two was generous. We dined on a terrace among pomegranate trees in a delightful atmosphere, with the lady constantly making orecchiette before our eyes. I recommend this place to everyone.

Durante una settimana di vacanza in zona ci siamo recati per due sere consecutive in questo locale dietro suggerimento di alcuni amici di Ostuni. Location gradevole, gestita in modo impeccabile da una famiglia del posto. Antipasti superlativi, pasta fatta in casa da urlo e vini sinceri.
Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
Sarà tappa fissa dei nostri futuri viaggi pugliesi…
