ZONZI. NUOVA GESTIONE In Soleto

Historic trattoria and pizzeria in the province of Lecce (Soleto), famous for its horse meat and panzerotti. Worth a visit

Excellent dinner at Zonzi. Excellent food, exceptional meats, and incredibly friendly staff. They're all young and incredibly helpful, and they'll do their best to accommodate you if you haven't booked (we did!)—something you should always do to make sure you don't miss out!

Accompanied by friends, we discovered a super trattoria

We went on a Friday night and I can say we ate quite well. I ate a ton of long croquettes because my husband ordered two portions for the four of us, and we got 20 croquettes... fun in shape and delicious in flavor. The bombette and horse meat sheet were very good... we even got a large slice of horse meat... the mixed vegetables were also good. The service was perhaps a bit poor due to the crowd.

We dined at this trattoria on a summer evening. The extensive menu, offering every type of dish, deserves a top rating: fried foods, meat, pizza, pucce, vegetables, and much more. For dinner, we tried the meatballs, which were unfortunately very dry, and the horse meat, which was truly excellent, served with grilled vegetables. The trattoria's only flaw is the service, which is incredibly slow; we waited over an hour for the three dishes we ordered. The food is good, but unfortunately, the slow service ruins the customer experience. I don't know if we'll be back.

Homemade cuisine, inimitable panzerotti, top-notch meat, excellent prices. The only downside was a bit of a wait to be seated (even with a reservation). They gave me a small square table for three (very uncomfortable), and to top it off, it was in a corner where the smell of cat pee was disgusting. Even though we complained about this inconvenience, we weren't served.

Wonderful food, fair prices, and impeccable service. Good location, for what it is, in a small square in the historic center of town.

The food was quite good, the service was very slow, the atmosphere was not bad, we recommend eating outside, the waiter was a bit cold and there were a lot of cats around, their presence was not very welcome but otherwise we had a good time

Carne da applausi! Un’autentica immersione nei sapori del Salento! Il ristorante propone un menù fortemente radicato nella tradizione, con un’attenzione speciale alla carne, cucinata in modo impeccabile. Abbiamo iniziato con un antipasto misto della casa, ricco e variegato: salumi locali, formaggi stagionati, pittule calde e verdure sott’olio fatte in casa. Già da lì si capiva che la qualità delle materie prime era altissima. Il piatto forte è arrivato con la grigliata mista di carne: salsiccia di maiale, bombette, turcinieddhri e tagliata di manzo cotta al punto giusto. Ogni boccone era succulento, ben condito e saporito, senza mai risultare pesante. Il tutto accompagnato da un ottimo vino rosso locale consigliato dal personale, cortese e sempre attento senza essere invadente. Anche i dolci della casa meritano una menzione speciale: abbiamo provato il pasticciotto caldo e la torta di mandorle, entrambi buonissimi. L’atmosfera rustica, calda e accogliente completa un’esperienza che consigliamo vivamente a chiunque voglia scoprire la vera cucina salentina di carne.

Abbiamo provato questo ristorante e siamo rimasti particolarmente colpiti dalla bontà del cibo, dall’ educazione del personale e dai prezzi onesti, che ormai nel Salento sono rari
