Service

The service was very good. Good food if you want a family style evening without frills and thrills.

I would definately recommend this restaurant when visiting Otranto - delicious tapas style dishes, all with a modern twist. Very refreshing after having had many traditional meals whist in Puglia.

The location of this restaurant is simply beautiful, right by the water. The appetizers were excellent, and the grouper ravioli I had for my first course was of high quality, though I was hoping for a bit more flair.

Very welcoming , so friendly and un rushed .Lovely modern decor and great quality menu.It delivered on every level - our waiter was really nice .M

Home food, simple and tasty like it has to be when you visit a farm. We were glad to be there for dinner in the garden beside the house. The menu is based on veggies and meat. The dessert was the only disappointing point with its pasticciotto ice cream, but it is quite normal in restaurants that the dessert is not at the level of the main courses. Recommended.

Amazing!  The location,ambience, service, food freshness as well as presentation were all Excellent!  10 out of 10. Loved every bite.

Best meal that we had in Otranto.  Ambience/service professional and warm, food delicious and prepared with flair.  This is not a churn- it-out tourist restaurant and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a discerning palate.  A jewel amidst quite a lot of average food in the town.

Very nice staff and good food. Location excellent too :)

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;

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

Excellent restaurant for a tastefull dinner with family or couple. The menu is not so full of dishes but they are very refined, you can surely taste all the best &quot;pugliesi&quot; dishes. The waiter was very polite and suggested us tipical and local plate  The prices are in line with the higt quality of this restaurant . Strongly suggested plate: spaghetti with nero di seppia, burrata and shrimps, wonderful!

A charming place with a welcoming vibe and delicious dishes. The mixed antipasto was mega delicious, and I can&#39;t wait to return to try their pizza.

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.

Stunning view and atmosphere. Management had issues with overbooked restaurant but managed the situation highly professional with exemplary service orientation!

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

A local favorite. wonderful food, excellent service and fabulous atmosphere. We always like to bring our guests here to experience the flavors of Salento!

The restaurant sits within a beautifully preserved 17th-century residence in Matino&rsquo;s historic center, offering an enchanting, historically evocative ambiance.For our appetizer, we shared the Entr&eacute;e della Locanda, a generous selection featuring crispy fried bites, local cured meats, and artisanal cheeses. For the main course, we opted for Salento-style skewers and a tender slice of horse steak, both expertly grilled to perfection. As a side, we enjoyed a portion of crisp fries.Our meal was accompanied by natural water and a bottle of the house red wine, which complemented the flavors. Every detail, from the warm hospitality to the authentic local cuisine, made for an unforgettable dining experience

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.

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!

Service was very good, food excellent. Toilet facilities needs improvements, urgently. Gents toilet had the pipe broken and the floor gets flooded each time you flush it.

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.
