Villa Excelsa In Sannicola

Excellent dinner in a historic setting, featuring authentic dishes expertly revisited and paired with their own limited-edition wine. Highly recommended, a must-visit when visiting Salento. The owner and staff are attentive and super friendly.

A stunning location, a dinner featuring original yet authentic dishes that respect tradition; attentive and helpful staff: Angela and Luigi with their warm, friendly smiles. We recommend trying the limited-edition white wine, produced from their own vineyard. It not only reclaims a seemingly lost piece of land, reflecting their social responsibility and commitment to their land, but also has a wonderful aroma and flavor. Highly recommended as a must-see when visiting Salento.

A restaurant full of surprises, although not very well-known in the area, it offers ample parking and two rooms ideal for celebrating any occasion. The food is very good, reminiscent of Italian cuisine with the true flavors of "grandma." The staff is very helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend it!

An absolutely excellent experience in every way. The food was delicious, prepared with the highest quality ingredients, with attention to the smallest details. Each dish combines tradition and innovation, with authentic and well-balanced flavors. The staff was extremely attentive, professional, and friendly, always present without ever being intrusive: a welcome that truly makes the difference. The restaurant is beautiful, tastefully decorated, very welcoming, and above all, impeccably clean, something that is not at all a given these days. A restaurant that best represents the excellence of Salento, where passion, quality, and customer care are evident in every detail. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back.

A restaurant in a villa surrounded by greenery, perfect for summer dinners and receptions. The atmosphere is charming, and the interior is also very charming. Salento dishes, seafood and meat specialties...all top-quality. The meat is excellent. Delicious pizza, light dough, and quality ingredients. The fried foods and appetizers are delicious to start. The desserts are delicious and beautifully presented. I've always had dinner there, but I'll definitely be back for lunch to enjoy the excellent first courses as well.

An experience that goes far beyond a simple lunch or dinner. At Villa Excelsa, every detail reflects care, elegance, and great professionalism. From the warm welcome to the genuine kindness of the entire staff—always attentive, present, and smiling—to the cuisine that surprises with its balance, flavor, and refinement. The dishes are a journey: harmonious flavors, excellent ingredients, and meticulously presented, never predictable. Every bite is thoughtfully crafted, every combination carefully considered, yet remains recognizable. A special thank you to all the dining room and kitchen staff: you can sense impeccable teamwork and a true passion for hospitality. Here, you feel welcomed, pampered, and respected. Villa Excelsa is more than just a location; it's a place where good food meets kindness, elegance, and the pleasure of well-being. Congratulations, truly. Excellence. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Based on previous experiences, I also had lunch with my wife and daughter at Villa Excelsa over Christmas. I must say, it's an absolute guarantee. The food is exceptional; each dish is carefully prepared and offers incredible flavors. The service, despite the large number of guests, never seemed rushed and remained very helpful. The only downside, like last Christmas, was the music being too loud, making it difficult to speak and understand each other, and getting dizzy after a while. Last year, I asked the musician to turn it down; this year, I decided not to so as not to seem like a nuisance. Anyway, I repeat, the food and service are guaranteed.

The best of the best, abundant quantity and equal quality. The chef is truly an artist with his dishes, capable of delighting the palate with every dish he offers.
