An excellent meal. The owner is super kind, he speaks only Italian and as English only speakers we had to use Google Translate at times to order but it all worked out and the food was so good. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an authentic meal and not just a tourist experience. Beautiful and intimate setting in an alley way just outside the main town square.
Very small, family-run restaurant, excellent local cuisine, super friendly service, an absolute hidden gem, thank you for the wonderful evening!
An exceptional culinary experience, from the welcome plate to the dessert, everything was perfect.<br><br>There are only 5 tables, so we recommend making a reservation.<br><br>A simple welcome with an effort to speak French during each meal explanation. A reasonable, handwritten bill, which made us laugh.<br><br>Be aware there's no cell service in the restaurant, so you're forced to fully appreciate the moment 😜
A truly special little Osteria ❤️<br><br>We discovered this tiny Osteria during our stay in Ceglie Messapica, and it was one of the most beautiful experiences of the trip.<br><br>There are very few seats, the menu is handwritten, even the receipt is handwritten, and everything has an incredibly personal and authentic atmosphere. Stefania and Angelo are truly kind and welcoming, and you can immediately sense the love and passion they put into their work.<br><br>And then the food: everything was simply delicious. Authentic dishes, well-prepared, and full of flavor. I ended up eating way too much because everything was so good. 😄<br><br>The bill also surprised us: truly fair prices, especially considering the quality of the food and the attention we received.<br><br>One of those little Osterias you hope to find when traveling in Italy and then remember for a long time.<br><br>Thank you Stefania and Angelo for the wonderful evening. We will definitely be back! ❤️<br><br>——————————————————<br><br>A truly special little Osteria – a highlight of our trip<br><br>We discovered this tiny Osteria during our stay in Ceglie Messapica, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of our trip.<br><br>There are only a handful of tables, the menu is handwritten, even the receipt is handwritten, and the whole place has such a personal and authentic atmosphere.

What can I say? Discovered this small, very welcoming place this evening, made you feel right at home. The dishes are truly excellent in taste and appearance. Highly recommended. The owner and chef are very kind. Five well-deserved stars!
Excellent, high-quality food. We truly appreciated the kindness and warmth of the welcome.
A great little restaurant with a small but excellent selection. Very personal, delicious food, and located in a very atmospheric side street.
Absolutely must-have meal in Ceglie Messapica. Every dish was outstanding. So authentic and so delicious. Antipasti plate was huge. We especially loved the bread with peppers and the zucchini and carrots. If I’m being picky, the only thing to improve is to change from a white light bulb to warm, orange light to improve ambience (very very minimal recommendation as the food is spectacular)
Best meal we have had in Italy. The antipasti platter is a must!
Kindness, professionalism and quality of food.
Exceptional experience! We were looking for a quiet, non-touristy place with authentic flavors, and we found it. The owner is incredibly kind and exudes a passion for food. The food is extraordinary: excellent ingredients, impeccably cooked. We really enjoyed the traditional appetizer, the fried fish, and the sliced steak. The location is a plus: right in the city center but on a quaint and super relaxing alley. Excellent value. Unlike other places, here you're not just a number; you're treated like one of the family. Highly recommended!
The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home. The atmosphere and food are homemade, which is a real treat because it allows you to experience Puglian tradition.
The owner was very kind despite our delay to the appointment, the food was impeccable and at a very reasonable price, you feel at home.
An intimate setting, you're welcomed at your table like family. Delicious local dishes and the warmest welcome I've ever experienced.
Dining at this restaurant feels like being at a family home; the owners are incredibly kind and considerate. The food is delicious and full of local discoveries, and the wine is excellent. Thank you for this wonderful experience.
Fantastic local food. Antipasto is delicious. Go past the loud restaurant next door for a much better experience and food. Host really fantastic, even with my extremely limited Italian
Wonderful experience of very good local food. Highly recommend.
This small restaurant is undoubtedly in our ‘Puglia top 5’.<br>Simplicity is so often beautiful, but combined with a bomb of flavors and depth, it becomes a superlative. Add to this the genuine friendliness, and the best culinary cocktail is a fact.<br>Every bite is like an angel finding its way to the stomach.<br>Special appetizers like we hadn't tasted before: including baked bread with flour, a (very) strong goat cheese (truly out of league!).<br>Homemade cookies ‘to go with coffee’: beyond a dream.<br>In addition to the menu, they also have a few suggestions that are more than worth tasting.<br>It is rare for a restaurant to blow us away like this.<br>Quality, freshness, and true culinary art go hand in hand.
Everything was perfect, from the staff's friendliness to the food.<br>The owner is lovely! Unbeatable price for delicious cuisine.
