Service

Great decor, very intimate setting in a backyard style garden. Classic traditional food cooked very well. Everything you would expect from a Trattoria, with style.

We like it here, the food is always authentic Italian, Very nice place to eat, never had a bad meal, and the owner always remembers his customers&hellip; from the outside you wouldn&rsquo;t think it is as big as it is! We will go back a few times before returning back to UK , but we will always be back here&hellip;

Great quality food. Tasty and well presented.... and the red wine was sublime! Lot of different dishes to choose from, fish, meat, pasta and pizzas. Kind and friendly service

The food &amp; service were excellent! Our only complaint was that the music was very loud and strange - loud enough to make conversation difficult and odd enough to have the music selection be the topic we were trying to discuss.

A small restaurant in the centre of town. From the very start we felt welcomed by all the staff. Courteous friendly and helpful. The selection on the menu was varied and all appealed. When we indicated that we intended sharing certain dishes it was no problem.  The ingredients are of high quality and all freshly cooked. This is Italian regional cooking at its best. Portions are generous without being excessive. Highlights were an appetiser based on asparagus with a yellow tomato sauce, delicious, thank heavens for bread to wipe the plate clean and not waste anything. The pasta with prawns and asparagus also excellent and would order again. . We shared a main based on sucking pig also excellent and perfectly cooked. Sadly too full for desert. We will probably return again even though only staying in the area for 4 nights. Thank you for an excellent enjoyable meal in your delightful restaurant.

Food was excellent!  Service was as well, considering the large tour groups to be accommodated.  Made for a somewhat noisy meal.

Apart from the fact that the entry level of wine was &euro;25 (great wine though) we had a lovely dinner with absolutely delicious food. (Christmas decorations could go down after Easter, but that&#39;s just a touch to be picky). Also the surroundings are magical. Must visit!

Deliciously interesting food offered in a perfectly situated spot in Nard&ograve;&rsquo;s main square in its historic center. The staff and kitchen were very accommodating of my dietary needs, gluten free, dairy free, and allergic to crustaceans. Yikes! At first glance, their menu did not seem as if it would work for me, however our server quickly sorted out some slight alterations to a few dishes that worked out perfectly for me. Very happy and would happily return again should we ever find ourselves in Nard&oacute; again. Grazie Rintocco!

This restaurant is exceptional.  The menu is varied and creative.  The variety of flavors were delicious and the presentation different.  The wine list very complete. The service was efficient and appreciated that they use personnel with special needs!!! They were all friendly and diligent.  We consider alimenta to be the best restaurant in Lecce, Italy.  You should not miss it!!!

The food was good, but we especially liked the atmosphere. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The menu is also available in English. We booked through The Fork with a discount, but also without it you&#39;d definitely get value for your money. We only spent 2 days in Taranto, but otherwise we would definitely have been back.

Peaceful location. Service is good very attentive. Food tastes amazing! There were some ants, but that is what you get for a dinner in the fields. We didn&rsquo;t mind.

We had a wonderful meal tonight. Started with  Capres salad. Then we shared the swordfish and linguine with seafood. All delicious. Seafood is extremely fresh and well prepared. Great meal and great wine.

One of my best meals in Julia. Don&rsquo;t even hesitate to make a reservation here. The chef starts by walking around to greet the entire restaurant and tries to make a connection with every table. The menu can be a tasting if you&rsquo;d like, but I opted for the &agrave; la carte choose your own adventure style. especially since I don&rsquo;t like desserts, I thought this was a much better value around &euro;20 per dish. Every dish was a stand out. I particularly loved the sea urchin and mussel caccio e pepe. The kitchen uses local and seasonal ingredients and has beautiful presentation. The service was always on point, I never felt neglected or othered because I was a tourist. There was a good mix of Italians and English speaking tables. You do have to budget about three hours for the entire meal, as there&rsquo;s plenty of time in between courses to digest. But, overall, if you&rsquo;re looking for a really great meal to understand how food from this region can be upscaled and elevated, you must try eating at Duo. Grazie!

All was amazing. Lovely staff and impeccable food. The place is just magical.

Great service, awesome food with good ambiance! The fish and chips were amazing the hot wings were very delicious! Thanks for a great experience!

Quaint little wine bar on a side street near Piazza Sant&#39;Oronzo.  Proprietor and staff very friendly and attentive.  Warm, comfortable and close seating area that encourages conversation with fellow guests.  enjoyed a small (singolo) taglire misto which was plenty for two to enjoy for antipasto.  we were going to go elsewhere for dinner but after the meat and cheese decided that we weren&#39;t all that hungry still and instead ordered appetizers of  fave e cicoria and melanzane parmigiana.  In particular the parmigiana was excellent with a beautiful homemade tomato sauce.  Overall a very nice experience.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The seafood salad was fresh and well-seasoned, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A great spot for a relaxing lunch.

This was a new experience for us. The staff was very ready to explain how one could either pick their fish and method of cooking or one could choose something for their ready menu. The food was delicious. An amuse bouche of fried anchovies was light and tasty. We chose some fried sardines as an appetizer. Our dishes were orecchiette with octopus and pasta with mussels, ( already out of their shells) Very good. The restaurant is very pleasant. I would categorize it as casual, white tablecloth. Would definitely return.

36th wedding anniversary. This is our go-to special occasion restaurant. Although not billed as a sushi restaurant, their sushi menu is extensive and among the best in the city.

This is a really tasteful agriturismo, with amazing location, food, wine and service. Fresh local  ingredients marvellously prepared and the price is honest. We tried different antipasti and 2 primi piatti and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is peaceful and this is a plus for me. A gem in Salento!

I arrived at an evening where I had the restaurant for myself (Monday). The food was enjoyable and highly creative done at a presentation worth its money. You should visit this place before the Michelin inspectors will do it resulting in a climb in the ranks and the prices. Highly recommended but a bit difficult to find (I used the navigation  app of my smartphone)

This restaurant was just outside the city walls so felt more like a lovely neighbourhood restaurant than a touristy one.   The staff were lovely, strong English and explained various dishes on a menu that was varied and more inventive than alot of the restaurants we have been to in the old city. The food was superb, reasonably priced and special mention to the lemon and raspberry tirimisu....delicious!

This is the best seafood restaurant I have visited in years - tasting menu was superb and the wine pairs were very well consider - finally the desert finished me off - awesome

Excellent restaurant, the fish is fresh and the price is very fair for what they offer. I had an amazing lobster there.

You would not expect a pizzaria in a strip mall to deliver this kind of quality. Not that it is impossible, but even most large houses do not take the trouble to source ingredients and provide caring service. Mauricio, as we learned, started his business on a shoestring 14 years ago. It has since blossomed post COVID. He expanded into the space next door. He sources the most exquisite cheeses from a young group of artisan cheesmakers from  the North. It&#39;s a king of gorgonzola that is dreamy, get some with your appetizer plate is coppocola, uncooked creamy prosciutto, and a craft beer and you are set to order one of his delicious pizzas. What a great time it was to hear of his philosophy and business success. If you don&#39;t feel like going out they also deliver. Super high quality ingredients, hell even the pepper is sourced from Madagascar. Skip the overpriced  fancy places in Lecce, dine like the locals , treat yourself to Pizza Carpe Diem

Great food and wine. The restaurant was quite busy at lunch on a Tuesday so it has its reputation. We enjoyed the cold cut meat and a great Nero Di Trioa with our Primi. We recommend this place!
