Osteria Gia Sotto L'Arco

Reviewed By Jane F

We had a lovely dinner experience at this restaurant. The location is beautiful---in a small town i Puglia, in the main square, of the historic town center. Charming. The restaurant itself is run by the third and fourth generation, which adds to the charm. And the food, presentation and taste, and service, were superb. We opted for the tasting menu surprise (so we didn't know ahead of time what would be served), and it didn't disappoint. Creative, with local foods and flavors. We tried a bottle of the restaurant's own wine (they have vineyards and production) and it was very nice. Value for the price is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant. Their Michelin star is very well-deserved!

Ristorante il Castelletto

Reviewed By Timachine - Styal, United Kingdom

If you want something special but can't afford Carovigno's restaurant par excellence, Osteria Già Sotto L'arco (and lets face it who can?) I would recommend the Ristorante il Castelletto. While meat and fish secondi can be just a little bit of a gamble, the Antipasti is out of this world and the wine list is terrific .

Art Cafe La Loggia

Elegante ristorante enoteca nel centro storico di Carovigno. Menu molto variegato, con materia prima accuratamente selezionata tra le eccellenze enogastronomiche pugliesi e non solo. Si organizzano degustazioni, laboratori enogastronomici, serate jazz... Perfetto per una cena romantica o in comitiva, per una cena di lavoro o un semplice aperitivo in giardino. La Loggia-non conventional restaurant

We were rather underwhelmed by the food in this very attractive restaurant with pretty garden. It was nice to be given a small prosecco as we ordered and chocolate liquor with biscuits after but the food wasn't great. The antipasti and primo piatti were small and unexciting. I had black rice with three prawns for €20. Mixed fried fish was dull. The steaks were like cardboard and obviously vacum-packed with no flavour, a sprinkle of pistachio on top and the smallest baked potato possible. The lamb was overcooked. The desert was basically ice-cream and did not live up to the description though tasty. The wine was good but the bill quite hefty. Although there were very few guests, the service was only average and, as a group of English women, we felt patronised by the patron and his "here's your fish and chips" remark. There are so many good restaurants in this part of Puglia I wouldn't bother t go back. Disappointing.

Masseria N'zeta

Reviewed By MPV1 - Vail, Colorado

It's a beautiful, rustic-elegant looking restaurant. Family owned. No foreigners. The authentic Italian experience. The antipasto changes daily; innumerable little plates brought to your table which alouds you to have a little taste of everything: cheese, salads, seafood, polpetti, meats, stew, pickles, etc... They have a wood oven outside where the make all sorts of pizzas with the freshest ingredients. Open year round.

La Cantina

Reviewed By David-Claire28 - Liverpool

Called in to Carovigno for lunch and we visited this restaurant on the main piazza. The food was really good - particularly the seafood linguine which was superb. There was also a orecchiette Ragu with rabbit - which was full of flavour. We followed this with a mixed seafood grill - this was particularly good and so fresh. It was obvious that very fresh ingredients had been used.
It was a great meal and this restaurant is well worth a visit. We enjoyed the food and location.

During our week's stay in the area we had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant twice. We were so glad to return. Everything was so delicious and beautifully presented. Our children enjoyed the pizza and pasta. On the second visit we took the advice of other reviews and had the anti pasto. AMAZING! We were in heaven. The service was also excellent. Thank you to chef Laura and her team for two unforgettable meals. GRAZIE!

Reviewed By Marion H - Carovigno, Italy

This is a new restaurant for us visited in August. We are regular visitors to restaurants in the area and La Rosa was recommended by some Italian friends. Very pleasant outdoor sitting area with attentive and pleasant staff. We chose meals that we were used to in other local restaurants (Fritto misto pesce, entrecote steak etc) and can report that the meals here compared very favourably. Fried fish was obviously home prepared and super fresh, steak was very tasty and tender, salad, chips and grilled veg were all a treat. Surprisingly there were no jugs of house wine but the bottle of Puglian white we had was quite classy and only 10 euros. Another good restaurant to add to our list. We were the only Brits there too which we rather like.
