Delicious food, impeccable hospitality, and a wonderful atmosphere. Perfect for those looking to spend an evening enjoying good food and relaxing in a charming, fragrant garden. Highly recommended!
Il giardino di mastunicola is a beautiful home restaurant nestled in the greenery. A welcoming environment that makes you feel at home, run by a hospitable family. The food is excellent, with each dish paired with genuine farm produce. In short, a perfect combination of ambiance and food. P.S.: If you're in Salento, don't hesitate to stop by ❤️
Spectacular. Exceptional staff, and the food was plentiful and sublime. I absolutely recommend it.
Exceptional beyond all expectations! Top rating, well-deserved!<br><br>We spent a wonderful evening with friends and family, and we couldn't have asked for anything better.<br>From the warm and genuine welcome to the food, everything was simply perfect: delicious dishes, fresh ingredients, and dishes crafted with attention to detail. We ate wonderfully, and the atmosphere made the evening truly enjoyable and relaxing.<br>But what deserves an honorable mention and truly makes the difference is the hospitality, which goes far beyond simple table service. A rare kindness and attention: the hostess, noticing that my two-year-old daughter loves animals, sweetly offered to take her to see the bunnies and ducks. A spontaneous and humane gesture that truly warmed our hearts and made the evening special for our little girl too.<br><br>An authentic place where you feel like part of family. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!
There were four of us dining, and we even brought our poodle. I mention this because, despite my forgetting to let them know he was coming, the owners were very accommodating in taking care of their dog at the same time, and he immediately wanted to "get to know" ours! They seated us in the garden, an intimate and welcoming setting, with background music just the right volume to allow everyone to converse freely. The food (we had booked a pizza tour) was plentiful (appetizers included), so much so that we couldn't get through the Nutella pizza, but we opted for the house amaro and mandarin liqueur (off the menu). I'd like to point out that my husband had requested a gluten-free option from the kitchen, and the chef immediately took action, offering him excellent alternatives (something not always a given in restaurants!). Finally, my compliments for the kindness of the staff. An experience to repeat.
E' stato un grande piacere ospitarvi ed e' una gioia sapere che siete stati bene, vi ringraziamo per le belle parole.
We visited this splendid location on Saturday evening. It was our first time there, and we were a little hesitant. We were immediately greeted with a smile and kindness in a beautiful garden. We had both meat and pizza, and everything was excellent.<br>Kudos also to the service, the girls were always smiling and helpful.<br>There was also a DJ playing music.<br>What can I say?...we'll definitely be back.
E' meraviglioso leggere che avete apprezzato ogni aspetto di cio' che facciamo ma soprattutto avere conferma che le nostre ragazze vi hanno fatto sentire coccolati. Grazie di cuore.
A truly enjoyable evening at the Giardino di Mastunicola Home Restaurant.<br><br>The garden is meticulously maintained and creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for spending time with friends. The service was friendly, helpful, and attentive to the guests' needs, making the experience even more enjoyable.<br><br>The music provided by DJ Gio was also greatly appreciated, as he perfectly balanced the evening, creating an engaging and pleasant background without being intrusive.<br><br>A place where warmth reigns, and where every detail contributes to making guests feel welcome.
Grazie mille per aver apprezzato l'atmosfera del nostro giardino. Il dj Gio' e' stato una bellissima sorpresa anche per noi. Ragazzo educato come pochi e bravisdimo nell'accontentare ogni richiiesta.
Good food, excellent service, and a staff that's understated to call friendly and helpful. But above all, the highlight is the garden, where you can dine in total relaxation surrounded by nature and unwind.<br>We'll definitely be back.<br>Thank you so much for a lovely evening.
Grazie per la sua recensione ci fa tantissimo piacere che abbiate trovato un ambiente rilassante nel nostro giardino e che abbiate apprezzato tutto il resto. Anche noi siamo stati molto felici di avervi ospitati. Siete stati molto gentili e piacevoli.
As soon as you arrive, you're greeted by a wonderful family, and once you're seated, you can enjoy the daily menu, which varies. It starts with the fried dishes, sublime! (battered sage and panzerotto with mortadella and mozzarella), followed by a pizza round (usually four rounds) with flavors ranging from classics to more original combinations, and finally, pizza with Nutella.<br><br>The quality of the ingredients is excellent!<br><br>The location is very charming and welcoming.<br>We discovered this home restaurant by chance last year, and upon returning to Puglia, we couldn't miss this culinary experience. We drove 45 minutes specifically to visit them, and it was worth it! The photos speak for themselves.
Grazie mille, ci ha fatto molto piacere di avervi rivisto, contenti che siete stati bene ed orgogliosi che avete fatto tanta strada per venire a cenare da noi.
I've been to the Mastunicola garden twice in the space of a few weeks, and I've tried both dinner and lunch. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed in both cases. The garden is very pretty and there are wonderful trees to enjoy the shade under, but I was extremely disappointed by the quantity of food, which was very limited. The appetizers were very limited...we had neither fruit nor anything sweet...Furthermore, the heat was unbearable, and the air conditioning couldn't cool the gazebo. I appreciate the desire to do something different, but I believe that criticism is primarily useful for improvement and growth.
Gentile ospite, la ringraziamo per aver descritto i nostri alberi meravigliosi, li amiamo molto e ci rende felici che altri possano goderne oltre noi.<br>Ci spiace enormemente che abbiate ritenuto ridotta la quantità di cibo. Non siamo riusciti subito a capire come sia stato possibile che sia stato insufficiente, in quanto abbiamo portato via da tavola coppe intere di carne, anche non toccata, e, nonostante ne avessimo preparata molta di più, vedendone tornare in grande quantità in cucina non abbiamo ritenuto di chiedere se ne desideravate ancora, cosa che facciamo sempre. Solo dopo aver parlato con alcuni di voi abbiamo capito che , purtroppo, alcuni hanno preso gran parte della carne nei piatti e poi l’hanno lasciata, mentre altri ne hanno avuta meno. <br>Abbiamo ritenuto di servire la carne in piatti centrali in modo che la poteste gustare man mano che era pronta, pensando di farne molta di più, come abbiamo fatto, per coprire l’eventuale consumo maggiore da parte di qualcuno, ma questo si è rivelato un errore. Pensi che i giorni successivi abbiamo distribuito carne a parenti ed amici perchè non riuscivamo a consumarla. <br>Quello che consigliamo sempre è di chiedere. Se ci aveste chiesto saremmo stati felicissimi di portarvi altro. <br>Per il dolce e la frutta, sicuramente lei non era a conoscenza che il menù che ci era stato richiesto e che avevamo concordato era solo due antipasti e carne alla brace. <br>Per il parcheggio probabilmente non si è accorta che, essendo noi in periferia, abbiamo tantissimo spazio a disposizione dietro al giardino, la prossima volta, se vorrà tornare a trovarci, glielo indicheremo con piacere. <br>Per il caldo, purtroppo è stato il primo giorno torrido e nonostante il nostro condizionatore sia molto potente non siamo riusciti a climatizzare bene la sala anche perche' non abbiamo potuto accendre i condizionatori qualche ora prima non sapendo se preferivate la sala chiusa o aprrta per permettere un piu' semplice accesso ai giochi.
Grazie mille per aver espresso la vostra valutazione.
A truly fantastic experience! The atmosphere was welcoming and refined, with a family feel that immediately made you feel at ease. The dishes were excellent, prepared with fresh ingredients and great attention to detail. Each course was tasty and beautifully presented.<br>The owners are extremely kind and hospitable. A pleasant day of good food and conviviality.
Grazie mille per la bellissima recensione. E' stato un vero piacere avervi come ospiti.
Delicious home-made pizzeria, authentic Neapolitan pizza.
Grazie di cuore per aver apprezzato e per aver speso belle parole per noi.
Nice place, very organized
Grazie. Siamo molto felici che siate stati bene.
The atmosphere was very discreet and the service impeccable: it was like being at a friend's house: the silence was so great you could talk without shouting. There were only a few seats, but the food was authentic and traditional: a variety of appetizers, two first courses (trofie with sausage, cardoncelli mushrooms, and yellow tomatoes, plus spaghetti with mussels and clams); fried calamari and shrimp, salad, pastiera or gelato, coffee, digestif, and drinks. It was lunch on April 25th. Generous portions and a very reasonable price (€35 per person).
Grazie mille per la bellissima recensione. Ci fa molto piacere che siete stati bene. E' stato un piacere ospitare persone come voi.
Easter Monday 2026. The restaurant is run by wonderful, friendly, and incredibly kind people. I felt like I was spending Easter Monday with my family. The atmosphere is very welcoming, the service is quick and attentive to all the needs of adults and children. The bombette were spectacular, the pizzas delicious, and the croquettes tasty. We had a wonderful day. My 6-year-old son played in the playground in the garden and enjoyed various activities with the staff. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
Grazie di cuore per le belle parole, e' stato un piacere per noi ospitare persone come voi.
A truly family atmosphere. Excellent choice.
Grazie mille. Ci fa molto piacere avere conferma di essere riusciti a creare un ambiente familiare.
Last night I discovered a charming place where you can taste and eat typical Apulian dishes. The food is very unique and delicious. The owners are welcoming, very kind, and attentive to their service. The atmosphere is truly enchanting. Congratulations on everything.<br>Super friendly, and you really feel at ease. I highly recommend this place for a charming and special evening.<br>Thank you for everything.
