3.5/10Avoid this place if you're interested in good food. The current rating of 9.6 makes zero sense to me. The food was really bad, which is hard to achieve in Italy. Amberjack pasta tasted like lamp oil and wasn't properly cooked, tuna was chewy and bland, the carpaccios were too mushy. Just imagine how bad it all was, that our bread and olive oil was the only good thing on the table. As we arrived, there were no hosts or hostesses to welcome us in, so in confusion we had to come back to hotel concierge to ask for help. Ostuni has many many decent restaurants, this place isn't one of them, sadly.

10/10Such a nice experience as the food and wine were of high quality. A special remark about the staff being very service minded and welcoming. It is always a pleasure to meet competent people

9/10It was quiet when we arrived but shortly afterwards people started to take seats for what turned out to be a splendid evening. It’s an upper-mid range restaurant with a small menu, but despite that it was difficult to choose. Service was very attentive and friendly. Some of the food was exceptional.

9/10Beautiful restaurant and excellent service. The yellow tomato sauce was a little too sweet and could have used more acid. The tomato basil sauce was slightly unsalted. Everything else was excellent.

10/10Incredible restaurant - location (across street from classic view of Ostuni!), ambience (hotel lobby, restaurant terrace, 700 year old olive tree!), creative and delicious food and extremely well trained and helpful staff! Note: you can park at the hotel for your dinner, just pull up and they will help you!

8.5/10Enjoyed a three course meal. First course of pasta with lobster. Good but lacked the level of seasoning my palate enjoys. Second course of local fish. Dessert was advertised as a soufflé and perhaps that’s what it is in Italy but it’s not the traditional French soufflé many would recognise. Still it was tasty. Good value for money.

9.5/10We were greeted with a warm welcome. Service was excellent. They went out of their way to please us and paid attention to detail. The food was very good. We ended the evening with a delicious soufflé with red berry compote and vanilla ice cream. Also they produce their own oil and bread ...both exceptional. Would recommend.

7.5/10Service was great. Outdoor seating was pleasant and quiet. Food was ok but not great especially relative to other meals we have had in Ostuni. The ideas are good but the execution is disappointing when trying to mix flavors and ingredients.

10/10Lovely evening with amazing food in a chic and relaxed location. Menu offers fine and local cuisine with innovation and they have a great wine list with very honest prices. You should try “Cavatelli with lobster” and “Ombrina fish”. They were both amazing! A special thank to the Maitre for his competency and to all staff for the kind service! Definitely recommend this place.

6.5/10The setting was lovely and waitress attentive and helpful but the Light Lunch was basically some starters and cost the same as a main course everywhere else. Very poor value in my opinion
