Ristorante Pizzeria "Al Ristoro" In Carovigno

07/04/2026: Easter Monday lunch spent with friends at this restaurant and wine bar in the center of Cisternino. Located just outside the more touristy historic center, the restaurant is well-maintained, with a relaxing atmosphere and welcoming, helpful staff. Dishes are well-crafted and unique, made with quality ingredients. All accompanied by good wine, with knowledgeable staff helping you choose. The menu was à la carte. We ordered a few appetizers, three very good first courses (ravioli stuffed with lamb, Taleggio cheese fondue, and truffle shavings; spaghetti with anchovies and oranges; and strascinate with rabbit ragù, bacon, and cardoncelli mushrooms). We then moved on to the second courses: a beef stew to share and three tender, distinctively flavored, slow-cooked pork fillets. We finished with a dessert not included in the menu: a pear frangipane with chocolate ice cream. Around €75 per person. Medium-high priced, but worth it. If you happen to be in the area, give it a try.
