    We loved everything about our meal! From the starters (three burrata cheeses and capocollo) to our pasta entrees, everything was delicious, fresh and amazing. And the tiramisus were incredible! A big shout out to Carlo and Emanuela who were both so nice and made us feel so welcome! Will definitely come back someday!

    The best place to eat in Martina Franca! Amazing local food produced by a young couple. Family feel with great starters and pasta! The lasagne was amazing and we ordered 4 portions, 3 meat and one vege. The restaurant had a lovely feel, lots of locals and a nice buzz. Definitely recommended for a looooong lunch! This was our highlight when visiting this town

    Great pasta, good value. The Lasagne was especially good and the meatball starter.

    This was a lovely place with a menu that was difficult to choose from as I could have eaten everything! They have a great selection of antipasti and primi piatti home-made from local produce and everything we had was great. We didn’t have space to try the desserts unfortunately! They were also playing great Italian music from the 60s which made my day ????

    Superb food and a lovely restaurant. Some of the pasta you’ll ever find and all made in house by the chefs. We had booked at table as it was a birthday meal, for 08.30 , but we had to wait for 20 minutes before one was available. This is the only reason we haven’t given 10 out of 10. Having said that the owners did offer us free glasses of wine and Limoncello as a gesture of good will, so no complaints overall. I’d you’re in Martina Franca then definitely try this place out.

    We enjoyed an excellent meal at La Pasteria. The staff was friendly, the room very pleasant, and the food superlative. We started with frise, stracciatella and capocollo -- which was crispy, the cheese incredibly fresh and delicious, and capocollo a delight. We continued with a freshly made paste, mezelune, which were stuffed with grilled vegetables and in a wonderful sauce of yellow cherry tomatoes, basil, and smoked ricotta. The restaurant was suggested by an acquaintance and we were thrilled with our eating experience. Highly recommended.

    Great food at great prices and friendly service in a nice ambience. The homeade pasta really elevates the dishes and the good wine selection complimented the meal.

    As local as it can get. The food is excellent and plenty. Do not over order, which we did and could not finish our food. It is more of a bistro than a restaurant, you can see how the pasta is made in the window. The waitress (perhaps one of the owners?) despite speaking little or rather no English tried as he could to communicate with us who speak very little Italian. We even got help from a nearby table, a nice gentleman translated the whole menu into French for us. We appreciated the experience and would definitely recommend visiting this pastelaria.

    Excellent food and lovely atmosphere. Would suggest the owner to pay more attention in follow the covid rules. Coffee at 2 eur is a bit expensive.

    The staff always seemed very rushed and were so and so courteous, the food was ok, but I personally did not like the Lasagna that I had, good value for the money we payed.

    Truly a local experience. The cold cuts were really delicious, better than anything we had in Italy (we went to Milan, Florence, Cirque Terre, Rome before Puglia). The fresh ravioli was yummy and we all loved their cheese from ricotta, smoked ricotta, burrata, smoked burrata. Above all, the owner was really patient using google translate to communicate with us by English since we dont speak Italian. The place is tastefully decorated. This is a fun casual lunch spot where the locals go, not to be missed if you are around Martina Franca, Alberobello area. Highly recommended!!!

    Nice relaxed place. Friendly staff. Food was nice and fresh. With 50pc discount cost next to nothing. Wish we have a nice pasta place like that back home.
