Vecchia Cantina In Tuglie

A beautiful place to go to dinner, very good service and gourmet dishes

Excellent food and pizza. The problem is the service. They work shifts from 8am to 10pm and from 10pm onwards, they rush you to eat and order, too bad we waited 40 minutes for the pizzas and pasta! Furthermore, I asked for the menu to see the desserts and the waiter told me he preferred to list them for me. Every time he listed them he added/removed one. Above all, he didn't mention other desserts on the menu just because they were more complex to prepare and they wanted us to free up the table. Chaos was created because they brought desserts to the wrong tables and the waiters spoke loudly to each other to pass information and speed up the service to make us leave. If you make first courses, second courses, pizzas, desserts and are not quick at preparing the courses, there is no point in working in shifts. We had anxiety when we ate! This aspect can be improved.

5 star food, service, environment!! Top!

It was the first time I went there, there were 4 of us in a very narrow space. The pizza arrived almost immediately, but it had very high edges and was too soggy. Sorry we won't be returning

Whatever you order, whether raw, cooked, sea or land, it will always be a masterpiece with attention to detail and supervised by the chef and owner. Advise . Rating 10+

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!
