We enjoyed a perfect dinner at this restaurant. We made a reservation for the terrace, it is a wonderful setting on a warm evening. The menu is extensive with lots of options for fish lovers. The Aperol spritz aperitif and bread basket are delightful. The Fish hors d'oeuvre starter is outstanding (but huge). Tuna, swordfish and grilled vegetable all very much enjoyed. Had we been able to we would have returned. Highly recommended

The restuarant is closed on Sundays and Mondays, so we booked a table for TuesdayWe were seated in the fairy lit gardens at the rear of the restaurant and the whole atmosphere was charming, we cannot understand the review that complained about the wobbly table, I am sure it was soon corrected.We chose the mixed seafood platter to start and were not disappointed. The wine was good especially as our taste is for a very dry white and we always try to drink the local wines. The main course was also good and altogether a good place to choose if you want to eat seafood.

It's no surprise I am pleased with my visit, reading the reviews. The service was utterly impeccable, the food cooked and matched to perfection - really treating my palate, and the menu was exciting with pages to choose from. It's very apparent how much this restaurant is cared for by the owner and she took her time with us, took pride in her food, and made us feel completely comfortable and cared for. I love the environment she has created with the service. Very high end service and downright good food. If you are in Lecce, make the stop here. It is worth it!

Friendly warn welcome awaits, fun local restaurant (which is a bakery during the day). Comfortable modern interior with some amusing quirky additions. Food is excellent. we had a mixed ceviche platter to begin and pasta for mains. There are some excellent deserts on display, presumably made by the bakery during the day, which are well worth leaving room for! Excellent wine recommendations.

We had the most amazing lunch here today, lobster Pasta, incredible!!! We have been in Puglia fore one week and this has been the best food so far. It was so fresh modern and beautifully presented. If we were staying longer we would come back everyday and work our way through the menu. Chef/owner are fantastic and are quite rightly proud of their fresh and wonderful produce. Go you will not be disappointed

Gourmet restaurant that combines tradition and innovation in a refined and welcoming location. Wine list varied and cured. Meat, fish, vegetables, homemade desserts.
Reviewed By jane134
I was embarrassed I recommended this restaurant to my friends. No sparkling wine while selecting the menu set the tone for a disaster ahead. Expecting fine dining we booked the traditional tasting menu. Ritz biscuits as one of the appetizers! Over cooked pasta followed potato balls and potato cake. The only saving grace was the wine. Poorly trained young waiter. The chef in fairness offered dinner on the house but what an evening a real shame!

Rather intimidating amount of staff meet you, but they were very friendly and helpful. Meat and fish is charged per kilo, slightly confusing menu, which needed explaining. Exceptionally good steak on a hot slate, papaer thin veal wrapped around pine nuts, raisins and cheese delicious. We returned here twice, great desert, and good seating outside. Very nice wine and beer selection.

We just spent 3 weeks in Italy and dined at a number of mid and high range restaurants each night and most days for lunch. My husband and I rate this restaurant as our number one choice for a number of reasons:- the host/waiter's (Giovanni) service was impeccable, the bread was all freshly made and delicious. We opted for the a la carte menu and each dish was fantastic. The price was very, very reasonable. We also had a great Puglian red Primitivo wine, very good and very reasonably price. Only 6 tables. You can see the creativity and care that goes into the food. We highly recommend this restaurant.
