Taverna della Torre In Cisternino

Really excellent, you can go there with your eyes closed.

Located just outside the historical centre, this is a great spot for fine Italian dining.

The food was average at best . All 5 of us took different plates and received equally bland food . Atmosphere was a bit depressive but ok in general , it is the food that was disappointing.

A very nice, rustic restaurant, and we received a friendly welcome. The food didn't quite impress us. We chose a cheese and salami platter for antipasto, but only cheese was served. Unfortunately, no reason was given (sadly, my Italian isn't perfect enough for me to have asked). Four different cheeses, two of them good, especially the goat cheese, while the other two were rather bland. The ravioli filled with eggplant puree were good, but could have been seasoned a bit more. The risotto was special, clearly reflecting farmhouse cooking. It's a matter of taste, of course. We enjoyed the Vino rosso della casa. Overall, a highly recommended restaurant.

Excellent restaurant in the center of Cisternino in a particular and elegant location inside and suggestive, in the summer months, outside because it enjoys a beautiful view. We went to this restaurant for dinner on Easter Monday and it was an excellent experience. Genuine food because it was homemade starting from the taralli to the desserts, passing through the orecchiette which we consumed both with turnip tops and seasoned with meatballs and rolls. (all very good). We were served perfectly by a waiter always ready to satisfy our requests and we met the owners who were also very kind. Clean place. Highly recommended!

Excellent quality food with 0 km ingredients. All excellent. Lovely place.

Very pleasant welcome. We enjoyed our meal.

This was recommended by a Slow Food guide, and I was thrilled that it was open in January when so many other places were closed. The meal felt special. First, the bread was good, not just obligatory filler. We ordered the house antipasti to share between the two of us and were astonished at how much food kept coming. I was especially fond of a crispy stacked zucchini assembly that I don’t know the name of and also the marinated aubergine slices. Our main courses were also delicious. I would also like to mention the kindness of the team that fed us, both front-of-house and kitchen. I felt in the presence of goodness.

We wished we spoke better Italian to properly thank the chef! Experiencing Puglia in winter where there is not a soul and somehow we found the perfect place to have a comforting meal. Service and food impeccable, we felt welcomed and the food was delicious! 100% recommend.

We went for lunch today. Excellent restaurant at the entrance to the historic center of Cisternino, refined and at the same time informal. The homemade orecchiette are excellent. The rabbit from the Itria valley with fennel is unmissable. Impeccable and discreet service.
