Great dinner in Ostuni! Beautiful setting in a cave. Delicious food and wine. Really worth it!

This place was a gem, worthy of accolades and return visits. A family-run (dad, mom, son) restaurant a few steps from Piazza Della Liberta, the gateway to the old city in Ostuni. The restaurant itself is located in a romantic cavelike grotto that was apparently a frantoio (olive mill) dating back to the 1100s. Simple, seasonal Puglian cuisine, featuring seafood, meats, and cheeses. Dishes changing with the seasons and cooked with elegance. Owner Giuseppe Fabrizio Nacci was there to explain it all and give suggestions. What a nice guy! And what a great dinner experience. All the dishes were standouts; great pasta with calamari, and orecchiette with tomatoes and ham from Martina Franca, but we were in 7th heaven after ordering the slow-cooked lamb-shank as a secondo to split among the 3 of us. It took a while (it was, indeed, tender and slow-cooked) and was just divine. Great Puglian wine-list. If you have only one dinner in old-town Ostuni, I 'd strongly recommend this one.

Beautiful and welcoming place, exquisite food, delicious and with attention to the smallest details. Trained, prompt and professional staff. An edge over others. Excellent restaurant,!!!!!
