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;

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.

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!

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

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!!!

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.

I went for lunch and it was so good I returned for dinner.  I had the costata di cavallo for lunch and pasta for dinner.  Both excellent.  You must try Alberto&#39;s rose wine...delicious.  And, just let Alberto pick the dolce for you.  I will return!

Highly recommend to try the gamberi tartar and the tiramisu.Amazing, we came two years ago the quality of the food did not change !

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

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.

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.

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.

We have eaten here several times and we always get excellent food and service. It is run by a lovely local family and I would highly recommend itElizabeth Jessop

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.

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!
