Trattoria Bere Vecchie In Cisternino

We had an amazing lunch, it was during the siesta time so most Italians aren’t out however, the restaurant was packed, with Italians and tourists. The staff was very busy, was the height of summer, so the service was somewhat slow, but the food was amazing and will definitely return!

A great experience, a good place to discover the local specialty, "bombettes." They look like paupiettes but are spit-roasted and garnished with different flavors like pistachio, chili, breaded, cheese, or plain. You can choose your selection in front of the window and then are served at the table after cooking. A treat and a pleasant moment in the atmosphere of the Italian white streets. The service was fairly fast and friendly, but a little hesitant about the wine.

I discovered this place in 2019 and have returned to Cisternino 3-4 times a year just to eat here. But today, when they brought us the menu, we were speechless. The prices have almost doubled: broad beans and chicory went from €7-8 to €12, first courses under €10 are all over €10, the house appetizer has also increased by more than €5, potatoes from 4 to 6, and so on. Two of us came in May and spent €60 for the house appetizer, another appetizer, a first course, bombette, potatoes, and coffee, while today, for four of us, with just one dish each, an appetizer, a side dish, and two coffees, we spent almost €100. We were really disappointed because the place is good, but with all this price increase, we no longer know if it's worth it...

It's a trattoria, and you have to think about that. However, everything is good and the staff is always helpful.

Very nice atmosphere that immediately surprised us, the food is also good, especially the meat is delicious!!

Quite disappointed by this Trattoria between the wait for the accompaniment which I found arrived late after the meat and the price.... Nothing more

If you happen to be on Via V. Alfieri, sitting at the tables outside, at 1:00 pm, you'll get all the heat possible.

Amazing lunch with the family. Very good service and excellent food (I’m Italian…). Will definitely come back! Recommended for lunch as all tables are under the shade and there is a pleasant breeze.

Locale molto caratteristico, con tovaglia a quadri e piatti e bicchieri di ceramica artigianale. Carne alla brace a scelta direttamente dal banco macelleria. Porzioni molto abbondanti e piatti della tradizione. Comunque possibilità di mangiare anche primi senza carne. Personale molto simpatico e veloce. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Consigliatissimo!

Bellissima esperienza nel centro storico di Cisternino, tutto molto buono ( tagliere misti salumi e formaggi ottimi) piatti più che abbondanti e ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Consigliatissimo !!!
