Terra Nostra Ostuni In Ostuni

A hidden gem in the heart of Ostuni – Terra Nostra While walking through the white streets of Ostuni, on a hot day, we relied on the spontaneous advice of a kind local lady who suggested we stop at Terra Nostra, a place that is an enchanting mix between a delicatessen and a restaurant. It was a fortunate and memorable discovery, perfect for our lunch. As soon as we entered, we were greeted with great warmth by Mrs. Maria, an authentic and smiling hostess, who immediately made us feel welcome. The environment is simple, rustic and well-kept, and immediately transmits that family atmosphere that puts you at ease. The menu is typical of Ostuni, made of real flavors and local ingredients. We started with a burratina with capocollo from Martina Franca, both very fresh and so soft that they melt in the mouth. Next, a chicory with pan-fried cherry tomatoes and bay leaves, a real delicacy: the typical bitterness of the chicory was perfectly balanced by the scent of the bay leaves and the sweetness of the dried cherry tomatoes, creating a surprising balance of flavors. Then came the first courses: orecchiette with fresh tomato, stracciatella and pistachio, and orecchiette with turnip tops and anchovies. Both dishes were an explosion of genuine flavors, carefully prepared and balanced to perfection. To complete it all, a sparkling house rosé wine, fresh and very pleasant, ideal for a summer lunch. We couldn't help but try the parmigiana, which brought back memories of Sunday family lunches - authentic flavors, prepared with love, just "like mom used to make it". In the kitchen, assistant chef Noemi, under the supervision of chef Annamaria, was able to tell a living and sincere culinary tradition through the dishes. The service was impeccable thanks to Niccolò, always attentive, helpful and courteous. Terra Nostra is not just a restaurant, it is a small corner of Puglia where time slows down, the flavors speak to you and the hospitality warms you. A lunch we will not forget. Highly recommended. PS the bread they bring to the table is something sublime!!!?

Great food, homemade. For those who like me like to eat typical and local food. Outside the concept of pizzas and related. These wonderful flavors saved me for a few more days

Slightly outside the historic center, excellent place to eat. The place is not very big, but luckily we found a free table. Excellent service, fast. You can see that they care about the customer because they come several times to ask if everything is okay. We tried the burratina, orecchiette with sauce and with ragù and bombette with meatballs in sauce. The special thing is that for each dish, I think the owner, brings and explains the cheese to use (different for each dish) and also the oil. You can see that they work with passion.

Just amazing food and lovely people!!

Excellent! My best orecchiette and pomodoro from Puglia

Highly recommended, authentic lunch with quality products. Mrs. Maria was very kind and was able to satisfy our needs. If you pass by Ostuni and want a local experience, stop here. See you soon!

Ostuni 1• maggio, impossibile prenotare il pranzo dove ci avevano suggerito, ma per fortuna!!! Un po’ di ricerca ed è saltato fuori Terra Nostra, salumeria con cucina. La signora Maria ci ha accolti splendidamente, cortesia e gentilezza. Passando dalla bottega vieni accolto nella sala degustazione. Tagliere di salumi e formaggi ottimo, con la marmellata di cipolle. La vera chicca è stato la braciola con polpette e contorno di purè di fave con cicoria. Abbiamo seguito il suggerimento nell’aggiungere il grana per le polpette e olio per la verdura. Ingredienti di vera qualità e una cucina di casa che solo dalla mamma puoi trovare!
