Zero 99 In Manduria

17/12/2025: We were in Crispiano, near Taranto, for a show at the beautiful Teatro Comunale, and I accompanied the members of the Il Giullare Theater Company. For lunch, we stopped at this family-run restaurant, "Tutto Buono," located about 500 meters from the theater, truly convenient. It was a great choice: excellent value and simple dishes prepared with quality ingredients. They also readily accommodated gluten-free options for a couple of guests, which is unusual and much appreciated. We started with a bruschetta as an entrée, followed by orecchiette with tomato sauce, chicken cutlet with fries, and, to finish, homemade desserts, amaro, and coffee. Just the kind of place we were looking for... and we found it. Special thanks to the owner and Ilaria, the girl at the tables, for their patience and great helpfulness (let's admit we may have been a bit of a nuisance... especially those two with sunglasses in the photo 😁). When we're in the area again, we'll definitely be back. Thanks, everything's delicious 🍽️👏

09/12/2025: I celebrated an anniversary with over 30 people. The waiters were impeccable, always available and very polite. The appetizers were traditional but very good, and the drinks and service were fine. The first courses and fried fish were good, the meat was so-so, and the sausage was exceptional. Overall, an average restaurant, excellent for those looking for tradition and more or less affordable prices. I didn't receive a quote before the party, and then I paid something extra that I didn't deserve (four people decided to order pizza instead of a first and second course, and I still paid for the full menu plus the cost of the pizzas... liqueurs and coffee were paid separately).
