The view from this spot at the tip of Salento is something else. We sat outside for lunch and just stared at the sea the whole time. The pasta was good, but honestly, you come here for the scenery. It&rsquo;s the main event.

The vegetarian tasting menu was a delight. Presentation was beautiful. The wine pairing, though, really made it. Each course had a thoughtful match that brought out the subtle flavors. A bit pricey, but the experience was spot on.

A fantastic evening in a hidden gem.An adequate variety of typical pugliese dishes with a fine touch of a modern twist. Seafood, pasta and not to forget burrata and a short and well selected list of wines.All is profoundly balanced in taste and beautifully presented. No alibi salad or raw rosemary branches, only the dish and well thought through accompanying edible garnish. Our favorite: grilled pulpo bedded on a cream of lemony potatoes, fried carrots smoked burrata and finished with a herbal cream aside. Perfectly combined ingredients, technically very well performed.We also tried the incredibly juicy gilthead seebream with herbs, slowly baked in a parchment coat and grilled vegetables with fresh mint which is an amazing twist to freshen up a well known side dish.Dolci: hand made pastries and desserts + the artisanal gelato the team makes. My favourite - the heavenly soft short pastry pie with a lemon pastry cream. These local slow food places should run this world.

I feel bad writing this because I know this is someone&rsquo;s life&rsquo;s work - but this was probably the worst Indian restaurant I&rsquo;ve ever been to. Food was cold (and we could hear the microwave working hard in the back), and we were given paper plates. The price did not really represent this - it was quite pricy. We were so thrilled to eat some Indian after a long time in Italy but unfortunately this was not a success.

The cocktails were lovely, but I really appreciated the fresh ingredients in the aperitifs. You could taste the quality in the simple things, like the olives and the crisp vegetables. It made for a light and satisfying start.

The pizza dough was spot-on, chewy with a good char from the wood oven. Toppings were simple but high-quality. A solid Neapolitan-style pie.

Been coming here for years. That fireplace room is always cozy, especially on a cold night. Just the right spot to unwind after a long day. The wooden beams and tables never get old.

The fireplace in the main room is the real deal. It throws off a serious heat that makes the whole place feel warm and lived-in, not just for show. Perfect for a cold night.

This restaurant is a hidden gem with a stunning terrace overlooking the sea. The quality of the food is top-notch, especially the seafood, and the staff is friendly and professional. I highly recommend it for a romantic dinner.

Espresso is clear and well-made here. Exactly how I like it. Always consistent for my quick morning stop. Gets the job done fast.

This place is highly recommended for its excellent value for money. The food is delicious, and the service is prompt and friendly.

Lovely spot in the historic center. The outdoor seating was just right for a quiet lunch. Service was friendly and unhurried, which made the whole experience very comfortable.

Staff&#39;s friendly enough, helped us pick a dish. Food came out quick, which is nice for a weeknight. Nothing fancy, but they get the job done.

Nice terrace for a sunny afternoon. Food is fresh and well-prepared, I enjoyed the grilled octopus. Service can be a bit slow when they&#39;re busy, but it&#39;s a relaxed spot anyway.

No menu, just a steady flow of whatever&#39;s fresh. It&#39;s a lot of decent homestyle food, so come hungry.

The bombette and lemon sausage were spot on. They paired beautifully with a glass of Primitivo from the region.

The portions here are huge! We shared a pasta and still had leftovers. Perfect for when you&#39;re out with friends and want to try a bit of everything without breaking the bank.

The barista took real care with my cappuccino, the foam was just right. It felt like a proper pause, you know? The lighting was soft, and everyone seemed to be chatting quietly. A nice, calm corner.

I had a wonderful experience at this hidden gem in Corigliano d&#39;Otranto. The service was impeccable, and the quality of the raw materials was outstanding, especially the fresh meat.

Seafood pasta was cooked just right, al dente. The crostoni with pink shrimp was a highlight - fresh, simple. Prices are fair for what you get. Solid spot.

Fantastic service &mdash; they went above and beyond for us, especially our children!  The local food was delicious and the wine selection was top.  A great dining experience!

As a New Yorker, I know a good sandwich. This one was incredible, we all just ate without even taking photos. But for $18, the portion felt a bit small for the price. Still, the flavor was top-notch.

The staff were so lovely! Our server explained each dish with such genuine excitement, it really made our girls&#39; night feel special. A bit on the pricier side, but that friendly vibe was everything.

The gyoza here is something else. The filling was so juicy and the wrapper had that perfect crisp. Honestly, it&#39;s up there with the best I&#39;ve had. The tempura shrimp was good, but the gyoza is the real star.

Service was on point again. Matilda and Francesca remembered us from last time, which was a nice touch. They suggested a wine pairing that worked well with our pasta. Only thing - got a bit busy later and they seemed stretched thin, but still managed to check in.
