This is the kind of place where you can truly feel the passion behind the cooking. Every dish seems to be made with care and love for good food. The chef comes from a family of culinary professionals, so it’s no surprise that the quality and flavors are exceptional.
We had the chance to try one of their specialty dishes—spaghettoni with shrimp tartare and shredded truffle—and it was absolutely divine! The combination of fresh seafood, rich truffle, and perfectly cooked pasta made for an unforgettable meal.
If you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as this place is definitely worth it!

If you are in the heart of Salento, in San Simone, and want to immerse yourself in the true flavors of the land, you cannot miss a visit to "La Vecchia Cantina". This place is a corner of authenticity that offers cuisine that celebrates the Salento tradition, combining the best of the land and sea in dishes prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
The welcoming and familiar atmosphere of the restaurant envelops you as soon as you enter, with rustic furnishings that recall the typical Salento tradition. The menu is a journey through the typical flavors of this land, and each dish tells a story of passion for food and the territory.
Mattia is an easy-going guy, chef and owner of this business who, in addition to preparing delicious dishes, welcomes customers with ease and affection. He and his staff manage to be attentive in everything, never lose sight of the table and satisfy any request. It is a place where Salento cuisine is celebrated in all its beauty, it is the ideal place for those looking for an authentic and tasty experience. I highly recommend!

Mattia and his staff are a guarantee of quality and hospitality, then since they added mezcal to the end-of-meal options I tell you to do it. Must try!

The pizza was just enough, in my opinion a little behind in cooking, too bad!
