A nice town with lots of restaurants and entertainment up in the old town and the main piazza. From simple pizza restaurants to a true Michelin star In the alleys of the upper old town you can find a number of lounge bars where in the evening you can relax and enjoy a drink. In the summer weekends music on the main piazza and when we were there one of the bars had life music. The old town is a nice area to discover the small alleys, enjoy the view of the sea and visit the cathedral. In the country side around Ostuni there are a number of masseria’s where you can enjoy a country style diner. A nice place to use as a base to discover Puglia.
