Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Nardo

Had dinner there in June 2025. We walked in without any reservation and got a table on the nice terrace between the restaurant and the roadside. My wife and I shared a starter which arrived quite soon after ordering. The main courses however were delayed quite a bit. Looking around us, it seemed the kitchen was probably a bit overwhelmed as almost no other guests were eating yet - most diners were also waiting for their food. We witnessed that some guests got rather frustrated. After a long wait our mains did arrive and unfortunately my tuna filet was really overcooked. A bit later, the same order on a table beside us looked much better and the tuna looked juicy and pink. At the end, I did tell the manager about my tuna and he apologized. Fair enough. I guess it was just a one-off. The rest of the evening there was pleasant and we did enjoy the relaxing atmosphere at the restaurant.

Pretty neat ristorante offering plenty of seafood options. Everything we had was very good, I can only recommend this place. Professional waiters, tables perfectly laid with tablecloths, a nice atmosphere and good food, you should give it a try if you're in Santa Maria al Bagno, especially if you are a seafood enthusiast!

Despite its prime seafront location, this place is far from being a tourist trap. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a highly professional staff who are dedicated to making your experience exceptional. I usually order multiple dishes, but this time I decided to focus on one—the Linguini alle vongole. And let me tell you, the taste was fantastic. Although I didn't get to try many other dishes on the menu, based on my experience, I can definitely say I'll be returning soon.

Came in Friday, June 6, 2025 around 13:00. We were pleasantly surprised by the service and food. We sat inside. Ambiance was great. Our waiter, Piero, pours great wine and attentive as needed. The table bread was great to soak up the beautiful olive oil. We had the Mixed Seafood Pasta and the Shrimp Risotto. Everything was perfectly cooked, including the pasta and risotto, perfectly all dente. Looking forward to returning when in the area.

Stunning setting, good wine list and just with locals and tourists alike. We ordered the fish of the day which comes cooked to your liking and the Frito misto which is not to be missed

Great food, great service and amazing views for sunset.

Over the years I've become cautious of restaurants in great locations with an easy passing trade - it's often a license to dish out mediocre food at inflated prices... not here! From the moment we arrived the staff couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant, providing a good high chair and being playful and patient with our baby, but always professional. We dined outside at a shaded table; the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the location is beautiful, with views out over the bay. As for the dishes - the freshest seafood, beautifully cooked and presented - even just the simple plate of grilled vegetables was amazing! Stars of the show were the octopus and the tuna salad. Can't speak highly enough of this place!

It wasn’t what I expected. First the appetizers we ordered the Art Noveau for two and tuna Tartar. The only thing I didn’t care for was the shrimp covered in peanuts. They ruined such prized beautiful shrimp by putting peanuts on them. Main course pasta with Sea Urchins. The waiter never told me the sea urchins were from Croatia. That’s a very important piece of information. If I knew this I wouldn’t have ordered it. Sea urchins in Sicily make a beautiful creamy yellow sauce. This sauce was a dark brown had a fishy taste to it and was bland. I left the whole dish didn’t eat it. The pasta with the spigola was tasty and so was my daughter’s octopus. The spigola for two in salt. It was overcooked. The fish had a powdery consistency when chewing on it. The outside of the fish was moist but inside was dry and overcooked. Overall I left disappointed. The service wasn’t nothing to brag about for a place of this caliber. I spent over 300 euros because I’m a nice guy and always leave a tip when I’m in Europe. Definitely not worth the price point. I’ve learned that the more expensive the restaurant is, the less is the quality of the food and the service.

I really don't like leaving negative reviews. In fact I never do (truly I'm not just saying this) because I know the effect they can have an a business. However I think people should get a glimpse of the restaurant before coming here to spend a ton of money for subpar quality food. How can you be a in a region with an absolute surplus of olive oil and have food this bland at exorbiant prices. I don't think there was a grain of salt on any dish. It's also criminal to call an appetizer red prawns then get 4 pieces of the tail of a prawn that is barely bigger than a finger nail. I would have also rather been spared the "mixed greens" under my octopus as it was just that. Mixed green with nothing on them and majority of the leaves were rotten. Also a lobster pasta dish in which it requires you to crack your own lobster with your hands? Trying to make food into something "artistic" is the downfall of dining. Put something on the late that is worth eating and priced fairly. 45 minutes between starters and mains is a no for me as well. Rest assured this is an honest review....sadly

Had a great lunch at Art Nouveau! We started with the shrimp/polenta/truffle dish which was divine! I then ordered the fried fish mix which was Gluten Free! My husband ordered the beef filet which was cooked perfectly. Amazing wine list & beautiful views!! Great service too, will definitely be back!

Very enjoyable food, a great setting and fairly attentive staff. However if I was eating blind, I would imagine the price to be slightly lower than the end bill. Nearly €100 for a couple with one bottle of wine, a shared starter, two reasonably priced mains and two deserts. Wine selection is very very reasonable and of excellent quality. Seafood offered is fresh and very tasty. Just falls short of 5*

Wonderful little find, great information on the local wine. Not going for the most expensive to offer the tourists. This €13 bottle was wonderful, we have purchased another bottle to take home. Yummy fresh burrata to start so creamy and light. Lovely service and great simple cooking, we are going back on our last night.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality. They pulled off a dish of prawns with a cheese fondue. Well impressed. Nice ambience. Friendly and competent staff.

I went to Art Nouveau restaurant for a joint 40th birthday (mine) and 50th wedding anniversary celebratory dinner and I really loved my experience here. The restaurant is located in a beautiful historic building overlooking the sea. Whilst finding a parking space isn’t the easiest of tasks, the dining experience will more than make up for it: we sat in the modern and tastefully decorated indoor area and we chose to let the chef treat us with a good dining experience. This comprised a selection of seafood starters out of which the seafood parmigiana and the truffle balls were my favourites! We also had an amazing seafood risotto and gorgeous spaghetti with lobster. We also had sparkling wine however we didn’t try the dessert because we brought our own cake which was delicious. Highly recommend this place for any special occasion or if you want to treat yourself as it’s a little on the expensive side!

Wonderfully warm service and food at Trattoria Corsari. We thoroughly enjoyed the sardines along with the spaghetti with mussels. The setting is charming and low key. Just what we needed after a long travel day. Very romantic as well. Even the guests were friendly! Thank you again!

We were recommended Trattoria I Corsari by Illaria,, the manager of the place we stayed at (Salento Astrea Vista Mare), and we couldn’t be happier with the suggestion. The atmosphere was warm and authentic, creating a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. You can tell this is a place that cares about its guests. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine local trattoria with great vibes and welcoming service!

Amazing food, super delicious and lovely owner, we had a fantastic evening! Grazie!

We had an excellent time here with amazing food and perfect atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing dining experience! The food was incredible, and the service was top-notch. Matteo made the lunch even better with his attentive and friendly service. Highly recommend this place for a memorable meal!

If you're tired of the tourist traps, this is the hidden gem of the area. Unbelievable specialties and excellent service, the best restaurant I've tried in Salento so far. The chickpea vellutata is highly recommended

We were here for lunch on a tour. Food was good, but the prawns were excellent!

Terrible service and atmosphere. Extremely busy/overcrowded and clearly the waitstaff couldn’t cope. Had to ask numerous times for simple things such as bread and glasses for the water. We waited over 1.5 hours for our main meals and by 10pm they still hadn’t arrived after sitting down at 830pm. We gave up and left and would never return or recommend.

Wonderfull experience! Good service. Wine was excellent!

This is a masseria located on the coastal road between Nardò and Sant'Isidoro, just North of Porto Selvaggio. During the day, they produce, sometimes in front of customers, and sell 100% goat's milk cheeses, both fresh and aged, which are a real treat for the palate. In the evening, it turns into a great place to eat local specialities in a very beautiful and relaxing setting. Ideal for families and groups of friends, at an affordable price. Reservations are necessary.

Beautiful place & tasteful local food. Be prepared for huge portion, which of course you want to eat all of it because it's too good! Service was very friendly and nice. They also have a little shop where you can buy self made cheese. I wold definitely go there again. But you should make a reservations, because all Italians are going there too. Which is definitley a good sign.

Exceptional meal. Everything was absolutely perfect. The place is stunning. I highly recommend this restaurant

We called the place in the morning and booked a table and once at the restaurant they did not have the reservation. After half an hour they tried to sort out the problem, they offered us a table. However, when my father thanked the waiters saying that it would have been difficult at that point to find another restaurant, the owner walked to our table and in a VERY ARROGANT manner and tone said "there are many places you can go for dinner". So we stood up and left the place.

Top !

We had a plate of sea food shellfish, 3 mixed fried fish, a portion of marinated anchovies, half litre of wine and a beer. We sat at the bar and not the restaurant, with our table facing cars parked at just a metre from the table and they brought us a bill of 90 euros. Food was OK but 90 euros was definitely too much. We won't be back any time soon. Service was fair.

Apart from the nice location/view of the restaurant our visit there was rather disappointing. At the beginning the waiters ignored us completely, after 10 minutes we finally got the menu, however they had noticed that we don´t speak italian and nobody wanted to serve us any more. We asked to order some drinks multiple times until we could do an order. The bottle of wine we ordered was brought to us just when we finished eating because they forgot although the cooler already was on the table for a longer time. Food tasted okay but looked not very inviting, prices were much too high. I don´t know whether service is better if you speak italian but we think the service was really bad, no one cared about us. Therefore no recommendation...

Fantastic seafood. The place is the appropriated to the meal...

The food was modest.All other aspects werw very poor.

Great service and delicious food ! I would like to come here another time

Huge portions.Nicely presented. Staff speaks English,german etc.

I loved eating here. I was looking for a good seafood restaurant and it exceeded my expectations. The service was 10/10. I loved the wine the waiter recommened too.

Incredible food, in our top 3 restaurants visited for our entire 10 day Puglia trip. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I recommend the fried local squid, the swordfish and the shrimp spaghetti! White wine by the glass was also a delight.

Didn’t have any fresh whole fish or prawns so maybe I missed out. Dish of the day was the local pasta with crab sticks and one clam. Nice atmosphere but extremely average and doesn’t justify the price tag.

Loved this place, great food, amazing service. Our server was lovely and very happy to chat with us about the local food.Definitely a must go.

The food was really good; very fresh and the staff were really friendly.

Perfect food! I tried salmon with coffee and it was a nice experience. Salmon well cooked and crispy outside, very soft inside. Wine menu is wide and nice. Staff is very friendly and nice. Sometimes service is slow or they are forgetting some meals but its because of busyness and you will forget about it when you get your food. Only suggestion to restaurant can be prepare salads according to order. We ordered salad and it made probably couple of hours ago and put in fridge. Its still fresh and ok but salad started becoming black and looking loose. Totally recommend in general.

The food was absolutely outstanding. We loved the tuna pasta and the coffee salmon as well as the heavanly tiramisu. I understand that restaurants need to do ‘shifts’ but it does slightly spoil the experience when asked to leave even when you haven’t finished your wine. That’s the only reason it’s not 5*.

Fantastic casual pizza spot with amazing views in the heart of Santa Caterina. Make a reservation as it is a very popular spot! Pizza is fantastic, but didn’t love the parmigiana di melanzane. Casual and affordable! Perfect spot for a beach day that drags into dinner.

A fantastic spot for pizza lovers, some of the best I’ve ever had. The location is also stunning, with tables right by the sea and a beautiful view of the bay, making for an even more memorable experience. The staff are friendly and genuinely try their best, even when the place is packed. However, be prepared for a long wait (about an hour for pizzas in our case), as the restaurant clearly struggles to keep up with the high demand during busy times. Still, if you’re not in a rush, well worth it.

Fantastic Pizze Fritte! Reasonable prices, good service, nice location in the evening.

A very good and exceedingly popular pizza restaurant by the sea, with another location in Lecce. Solid Neapolitan pizza, very nice dough and well balanced tomato sauce. The basics are superb, but their more refined recipes also work well. Worth the wait, and a solid addition to the repertoire. (NB compared to locally available places Barrueco deserves five stars. The four stars here are measured by the world’s best)

Casual and delicious. Waterfront location is great and service is quick.

Great food and service with a beautiful view. Really cool ambience too.

Great local place for pizza- the pizza was topclass! A must when you're in the area. The spaghetti for lunch was also amazing. Do not miss their meatballs!

Very good restuarant, fast service, very fast and efficient. Food was very good. There is a parking place jist outside of the alley. Ordered 3 steaks which were ok, meat quality could be better. Burrata and tomatoes twice, buratta with anchovies and dried tomatoes, mixed salad. All were good size and best quality and taste. Two pasta dishes amazing and fried calamari was lovely. Ended meal with 2 tiramisu smooth and very good, 2 millefeuille and lemon sorbet, all were great. 170 euro in all inclusing 500cc house red wine. Enjoyed it very much, great atmosphere, small and nice town.

Nice restaurant. Service was very friendly and talkative. Food was OK, some dishes better than others but overall good. It is not my favorite in town, but not the worst either.

Average place. Simple plates of the tradition but not well done. Some items on the menu were missing and prices were pretty high for an osteria. Service was fine.

Hostaria Corte Santa Lucia has many vegetarian and vegan dishes including starters. We really enjoyed the starters and the pasta con ceci. Delicious food and perfect stuff.

Wonderful dinner with the family. Pasta and fish was great, very friendly and attentive staff and nice seating in the courtyard

Top antipasto and orecchiette! Excellent service and selection of wines

A nice place with a cute courtyard. Food was good enough, but it wasn’t anything special in my opinion.

Highly recommended if you are in south, food is great, wines... Reservation is needed. Call in advance.

Great experience! The waiter didn’t speak a word of English and yet he was the most wonderful and helpful waiter we could ask for. The food was amazing and the location was too! Would recommend 100% ❤️

Very tasty food with generous portions. Friendly staff and great service. Highly recommend!

Farm to table indeed. This is a must for the area. Everything is good and the prices are very reasonable as well. Enjoyed the meat, starters and fresh homemade pasta. Accommodating staff too.

Absolutely place to visit more than once during this region. Everything was perfect. Food and drinks local as it gets.

Good but not one of the best agroturismo we have been. The food could be improved. Service was excellent but food was disappointing.

Nice and delicious food. Service is great and location.

Good pizzeria ! The dough is perfect and they have all italian classics on their menu. The service was ok, only downside were the knives, not ideal for a pizza. But all in all a good address.

Highly recommend this restaurant. We came without a reservation for lunch and were kindly still seated inside. From the starters to the fresh fish of the day everything tasted so good! The service was very helpful as we don’t speak much Italian but they were able to explain the dishes in English. Would come back immediately!

Amazing place with fantastic seaview. The quality of the raw material is very high. All dishes are treated in detail to ensure a quality dining experience and also the quantity is good enough. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Price is coherent with the quality of food offered. Would highly recommend this place!

We like the cod fish cakes starter. And the pizza has a nice crispy base despite it being a little oily.

We visited this place in September 2022 and we really enjoyed eating here. The food was tasty, the staff was friendly and prices were very reasonable.

Consistently excellent food, warm & professional service, Filieri is the best restaurant in Santa Maria. Down to earth and unpretentious, where you should go simply to eat and enjoy life. A light dinner starts at €20, or a full lunch for €45 per person.

We've been here for Lunch. Food and service were really good. Unfortunately no pizza available for lunch, but that just speaks for the quality of the oven - pity we couldn't come again for dinner. Absolutely recommend are the mussels and patatine fritte 👍🏼

We booked the corallo restaurant and were very impressed notably about their food. I recommend the octopus starter but the margherita and initial apetizers were delicious too. For white wine, fiano Nardò was a great one.

We had a very good lunch here. Everything was super fresh and tasty. Nice and attentive staff.

Amazing food and service. We had the degustation of antipasti and it was very good. The paccheri with pesto di pistacchi was mind-blowing.

Only commenting the restaurant here. The food was good - nothing extra but still good. 3 stars goes to the Chef in the kitchen. The service though is....random...as if we've been snubbed..for not wearing Channel or Gucci...even if the watch I was wearing costs twice the price of their Omega Seamaster and Rolex air king... So appearances seem to matter a lot in this place, like the plate with 2 scampis that are entire and left as an exercice to you to peel... Hands wiper have been provided after the plates were removed, so i was wondering with my pancho and expensive watch if I had to use my fingers in front of the Gucci-wannabe-have-you-seen-me people...So it looks nice and fancy but it wasnt simple to eat it correctly. Other than that we were between a old lady that would give water to its dog, on the chair of the restaurant, next to us... His name must be Gucci or Prada. Meanwhile in the back, baby Versace was crying a lot throughout our meal. Awesome experience. To finish, coperto at 2,5e is a bit Gucci-price, but at least different kind of breads were provided to us so we've seen worst for almost the same... Even if we know that its the same paste you use for the pizza,. nothing's wrong with that, on the contrary, one has to pay for expensive watch, if the watches i've seen around some wrists are not fake ones.

Perfectly clean rooms; remarkable public spaces like a top floor solarium and balconies with views to the ocean. Top notch breakfast with many options. Great local feel.

We had an amazing lunch in the hotel. The waiter was super friendly, the food was amazing! Very recommended!

Very nice place, clean and modern!!! The restaurant and the food was excellent!!!! Definitely I'll go again....

Amazing local traditional food, better go on a empty stomach because the portions are very filling! Staff is lovely , couldnt ask for anything better , bravi!

Nice service, very good size of portions and tasty food. But even better: full gluten free menu, with service and kitchen staff fully aware of gluten free diets and how to avoid cross contamination. No frozen food here, but good quality ingredients and a lot of attention in the kitchen to bring you a dish that is not only gluten free but also really tasty. Try it of you're around!

Really lovely place and amazing food at very good prices. The cook came to us and offered us some specialities without gluten so everyone could try everything!

Lovely homely atmosphere & delicious food. All dishes are made with fresh, local, organic produce. Very celiac/allergy friendly. Honestly, the best gluten-free bread/dough ever!

Thank you for such a warm welcome and delicious food. Incredible pizza and home cooked food. No reason why other places in Nardo so much busier. Only a short walk from the old town, be brave 😁.

Very nice place; excellent food and Roberta was the perfect example of a friendly host, showing Italian hospitality at its best! Our group of 6 including 2 children ordered a mix of food consisting of a large variety of choices. Everything was sooo nice!

Update on my previous review, I came back one year later to this restaurant, the prices rose or/and the portions became much smaller...?!!🙃 We realised later also that they charged a plate extra we haven't consumed. Check your bills !!! The price range indicated here should definitely rise up, they charge as much as nice located restaurants with terraces in the centre of the city!

quality local food for a great price. The family that run the restaurant are wonderful and take the time to make sure you are comfortable, enjoy the food and feel relaxed. Try the pastas. They are tasty AF. Thank you for the lovely evening

If you are a celiac or choosing to eat gluten free, you will think you died and went to heaven! The food is just straight up delicious anyway, but we have potato croquettes, GF; pizza, GF; pasticciotto, GF! All made in-house, all delicious. Not an expensive place - very much a family business…daughter waiting tables, mom delivering pizzas or waiting tables as required…kids doing homework - genuine family business, really great food and we will go back before we leave Nardò for sure.

A meatshop-grill combo, friendly staff and high quality meat. Typical local flavors in a homey atmosphere, great for a date or a family occasion. Highly recommend the “bombette” and the daily special: salty cannoli “alla norma”.

Great meat restaurant. Hard to get a table and menu isn’t reflecting all the specials so you’ll have to ask (in Italian only) if you want another cut of meat or speciality.

We had an outstanding meal during our stay in Nardo, including some of the best sausage we had during our two weeks in Italy. We also had chicken, steak, and potatoes, and all were very good. The romantic outdoor seating was also a nice touch. Its also across a great spot for an aperitivo, and next to a great spot for gelato.

The bombette mix was very good, as was the meat basket. Although the tagliata and fried burrata with pistachio were a bit off. The tagliata was a bit chewy and the burrata was not as tasty as the regular one. I would not recommend those dishes. Overall the service was a bit scarce, we were left hanging several times when we asked for drinks and bill. The restaurant manager could have been more kind to the guests, instead she acted cold and a bit rude.

Very good experience, food was amazing, starters (fresh mozzarela and Martina franco sausagge were amazing). Main dishes were quite tasty, stringly recommend the meat in this place. We were very full, portions were good as well. Tiramisu ice cream was divinal. Highly recommend, although expensive.

The food did not taste freshly made. Disappointing!

Absolutely satisfied. We ordered three meat dishes and they were all tasty. All food that was served around to other customers looked great and made us want to order more. If we will be in Nardo again, we will come back. Staff very kind, nice evening atmosphere, prices very reasonable.

The food was nice. The service started off chaotically but very kind and the atmosphere was really nice. We had troubles with booking in advance but if you want to be seated outside you need to book in advance.

We have just fallen in love. What a wonderful restaurant! The food is so delicious. The staff are so lovely and the owner is a gem. Utterly lovely woman. Tucked away in the alleyways of Nardo. Thank you for your love xx

I've been in italy for 2 months and this is the best meal I've eaten. From the start, we were welcomed and served amazing food. The pasta with shrimp and tomatoes was so lovely! Fried shrimp & calamari delicious and not super salty. Grilled regional meats were succulent and well seasoned with laurel & rosemary. Local wine & beer and feeling unhurried while we listened to great music were so comforting. Highly recommend!!

We had a lovely dinner here, very italian classic dishes with great taste and well presented. The restaurant is very cute and you can also eat outside. The service was great, with our special thanks to Alesandra who knows how to make you feel at home. Highly recommended!

Beautiful local restaurant near the historic town square in Nardo — staff were knowledgeable, polite, and helpful and the food was excellent: I had the sea bass stuffed with speck and cheese and it was excellent. Highly recommended

A very beautiful restaurant, amazing food and service. My boyfriend felt ill (NOT because of the restaurant!) and I asked if it was possible to cancel the main dishes so we could go home. The waitress was extremly helpfull and kind and said it was no problem. It was a shame though, because the appetizer was the best I had in Puglia so far, it was the melanzane alle parmigiana. Would definetly recommend and come back again.

Alessandra offers the warmest of welcomes and the food is of excellent quality ! My sister declared her tuna steak the best she has ever had !!

Food is delicious, freshly prepared with ingredients from the area. The dishes are from the tradition and cooked like my mother (OK similar to my mum’s)😊 service is attentive and very friendly. Great place in this city!

I recommend this place to everybody who visits Nardo because the food is just marvelous, extremely fresh and service is excellent !

Super food! Best fiorentina ever! Perfect service, so gentle! High recommended!

The tagliere misto is the best I tasted in Puglia. Service wonderful, and everything tasted delicious

The place is tucked away from the centro storico -- the location is fine but not particularly charming. The food was a mixed bag -- certain things were excellent whereas others were average. For instance, all the fried food we tried left us a bit heavy. Bombette were average. What truly stood out was the homemade noodles with local chickpeas -- that dish really made the experience worth it. Great selection of wines, ok prices, the people serving us were kind and professional.

Wow! Excellent service - seated upon arrival and provided water. Very relaxing atmosphere with attentive and smiling staff. The food (Orecchiette with Meat Balls and Tagliolini with basil, burrata, sausage, and pistachio) and Negroamaro wine was fantastic! All local products and wine. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Thank you!

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and very friendly people. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Great place to have dinner outside with a nice view. The service was top fast and efficient. The food we tried was delicious. Very quiet and calm. Would recommended for a special occasion, special meal or a nice treat!

Best food ex-aequo we had in our trip in Puglia this year. But one of the worst location. I strongly suggest you to eat inside. The table outside are basically on the road and god knows why Italian loves touring with their cars... But really the food was amazing.

Cozy corner estaurant with a fine view of sea, sunset and the quaint town of Santa Maria al Bagno. Decent food, worth trying the antipasto misto.

Local dish food. The mixed fish food appetizer is delicious. Try also pasta with riccio di mare.

Service is not friendly and food is too oily - such a shame for a nice place with great potential

Verg food food, nice service, high quality. I reccomand this to everybody. Prices are very acceptable. Food is perfect.

Great food but service is very slow and owners/workers have the unpleasant habit of sitting and chatting with their friends.

Maybe they had a bad night, but the meat was cooked horribly; cold, watery, still with the label attached to the fat. Soggy potatoes, cold vegetables. Waiters are nice and quaint but unprofessional. Can't really excuse that. Won't be coming back...

Sausages were good. But waiting time was very long. We waited more than 30 minutes just to order. And it took more than 20 minutes for them to bring us the water and beer, in a very hot evening when even inside was hot. Unacceptable. We waited another 30 minutes for the food, which was good, but nothing special.

Took 50 to order and an hour and a half more to get our starter. Food expensive and poorly cooked bad quality.

Tipical local place. Fried food and local sausage difficult to find in other places. Onest price and service. Try it!

Staff forgot our order, mixed meat dish is mostly chicken without some flavour

I top!!!

Yes

Good but nothing special. The food is ok and local. The only thing that I was disappointed is the coperto is 1.5 euro on the menu but they charge 2 euro. Not that I will go bankrupt but simply a detail. And the special of the day were only explained to locals and not to us tourists. While I was seeing some dishes I would have ordered if I was told.

Simple but great! Traditional dishes for a very good price. Small restaurant in the old town of Nardò... portions are huge, so before ordering a lot... just think about it! 😜

Fresh, basic dishes which were all delicious- it felt like eating at Nonnas house. We left stuffed. Service was lovely. We came back twice. Left with an Amaro from Salento to enjoy back home. Grazie!

Great home-style food with a very calm atmosphere. We needed a reservation in October.

A cosy little place, family run hence there is a family atmosphere. Apart from us I think the rest of the customers were Italians, all seem to be known by the owners. Very warm welcome and attitude from the owner, addressing to me by the name (I made a booking). Attentive service, help with the choice of dishes and they don't switch into English immediately when you try to speak in Italian with them. 🙂 The food was fresh and tasty, home made pasta, fantastic meat pot and very nice pickles and seafood. We really enjoyed it all.

Great classic Italian food , kind service

Very lovely family operated establishment. Slightly off the beaten path, bit still in the centre. Better than eating at your grandmother or favorite aunt! Food is very well prepared, well cooked and with fresh ingredients. Be sure to ask the daily specials off the menu as many local dishes are prepared differently each day. We went a few times while in the area, had something different each time and was always satisfied, each dish was prepared with the same attention as the first. You will not leave hungry! Prices are also unbelievably fair! Would absolutely recommend and gladly return!

Didn’t serve me my drink, then when I asked they got rude, angry, made me completely unwelcome. I fully understand a waiters stress as a previous waiter myself, however guarding around my table, glaring at me as I drink my unorganised drink, slamming my drink after waiting an hour, and speaking about me and my family right in front of my face. I don’t look Spanish but I understand, (my husband is Spanish,¡hola!) wouldn’t return made my son cry with there devious scowls.

Starter was inedible, and even as a Brit I can make pasta with more flavour. Don't be fooled by the nice looking terrace, you can do better!

Spagetti alle cozze is super but small portion of pasta

Pizza is not great (for Italy)... I ordered a special which had 3 excellent fresh local ingredients but came with a white base. No warning on the menu that the 'special' section contained pizza with white base. For my preferences, a white base is almost as bad as pineapple on a pizza! My girlfriend ordered a capricciosa which was served with unpitted olives and unrinsed capers (super salty). Just a lack of care. The pizza did not seem to be from a wood oven but maybe the owners' will advise if this last statement is incorrect.

Best experience! Really tasty LOCAL pizza.

Perfect place for a pizza or delicious fish. Try their local speciality : La Ciotola, awesome ! The terrace is the perfect place to have dinner at night. Highly recommend !

Great gluten free pizza! Good view and friendly staff! Even a group of friends singing and playing an accordion!

The food is great and I loved the calamarata! The service sometimes is a bit slow but still good. The location is near the sea, so on a sunny day you can have a great view. The restaurant is not fancy especially considering that outside is all concrete. Prices are correct for the quality of the food, better than other restaurants. If you are looking for a nice view and great food this is the right place.

The service is extremely slow and they authorized two persons smocking there had kids without the consent of everyone.

Excellent food and great view! Mussels are simply amazing! Just be careful with the bill, they rush a lot and we got it wrong 4 times out of 5 (sometimes they forgot to add stuff we ate so it's not that they try to trick you, it's just that probably they rush too much).

I genuinely love this restaurant. Excellent service and variety of dishes, with affordable prices. Two thumbs up!

Good food booking is advised, in particular for the best spots in front of Gallipoli.

Nice Evening, very nice terrace

(Translated by Google) The location is undoubtedly evocative: just steps from the sea, one might expect a cuisine that celebrates tradition and the freshness of local seafood. Instead, one finds oneself faced with a culinary offering that is daring, perhaps too daring. The seafood parmigiana is a gamble that doesn't convince: the fish, a forced protagonist in a dish designed to showcase eggplant and tomato, ends up confusing the palate. The same goes for the tuna steak, which attempts to emulate the meat but remains suspended in a middle ground, neither raw nor cooked, neither bold nor delicate, drowned in shavings of Parmesan cheese, cherry tomatoes, and arugula. Experimental cuisine can be fascinating, but here it clashes with the context. The sea is there, just a few meters away, yet one gets the impression that the aim is to impress at all costs, forgetting that simplicity often pays off. The bill, finally, is decidedly too high for the dishes offered. Originality doesn't justify the price, especially when the execution leaves doubts. In short: a location that promises, cuisine that disorients, and an experience that leaves no mark—except on your wallet. (Original) La posizione è indubbiamente suggestiva: a pochi passi dal mare, ci si aspetterebbe una cucina che valorizzi la tradizione e la freschezza del pescato locale. Invece, ci si trova davanti a una proposta culinaria che osa, forse troppo. La parmigiana di mare è un azzardo che non convince: il pesce, protagonista forzato in un piatto che nasce per esaltare melanzane e pomodoro, finisce per confondere il palato. Stessa sorte per la tagliata di tonno, che cerca di emulare la carne ma resta sospesa in una terra di mezzo, né cruda né cotta, né decisa né delicata, affogata da scaglie di grana, pomodorini, e rucola La cucina sperimentale può affascinare, ma qui stride con il contesto. Il mare è lì, a pochi metri, eppure si ha l’impressione che si voglia stupire a tutti i costi, dimenticando che la semplicità spesso premia. Il conto, infine, è decisamente troppo salato rispetto alle portate proposte. L’originalità non giustifica il prezzo, soprattutto quando l’esecuzione lascia dubbi. In sintesi: una location che promette, una cucina che disorienta, e un’esperienza che non lascia il segno — se non sul portafoglio.

Pretty neat ristorante offering plenty of seafood options. Everything we had was very good, I can only recommend this place. Professional waiters, tables perfectly laid with tablecloths, a nice atmosphere and good food, you should give it a try if you're in Santa Maria al Bagno, especially if you are a seafood enthusiast!

Despite its prime seafront location, this place is far from being a tourist trap. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a highly professional staff who are dedicated to making your experience exceptional. I usually order multiple dishes, but this time I decided to focus on one—the Linguini alle vongole. And let me tell you, the taste was fantastic. Although I didn't get to try many other dishes on the menu, based on my experience, I can definitely say I'll be returning soon.

Had dinner there in June 2025. We walked in without any reservation and got a table on the nice terrace between the restaurant and the roadside. My wife and I shared a starter which arrived quite soon after ordering. The main courses however were delayed quite a bit. Looking around us, it seemed the kitchen was probably a bit overwhelmed as almost no other guests were eating yet - most diners were also waiting for their food. We witnessed that some guests got rather frustrated. After a long wait our mains did arrive and unfortunately my tuna filet was really overcooked. A bit later, the same order on a table beside us looked much better and the tuna looked juicy and pink. At the end, I did tell the manager about my tuna and he apologized. Fair enough. I guess it was just a one-off. The rest of the evening there was pleasant and we did enjoy the relaxing atmosphere at the restaurant.

Over the years I've become cautious of restaurants in great locations with an easy passing trade - it's often a license to dish out mediocre food at inflated prices... not here! From the moment we arrived the staff couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant, providing a good high chair and being playful and patient with our baby, but always professional. We dined outside at a shaded table; the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the location is beautiful, with views out over the bay. As for the dishes - the freshest seafood, beautifully cooked and presented - even just the simple plate of grilled vegetables was amazing! Stars of the show were the octopus and the tuna salad. Can't speak highly enough of this place!

Came in Friday, June 6, 2025 around 13:00. We were pleasantly surprised by the service and food. We sat inside. Ambiance was great. Our waiter, Piero, pours great wine and attentive as needed. The table bread was great to soak up the beautiful olive oil. We had the Mixed Seafood Pasta and the Shrimp Risotto. Everything was perfectly cooked, including the pasta and risotto, perfectly all dente. Looking forward to returning when in the area.

Stunning setting, good wine list and just with locals and tourists alike. We ordered the fish of the day which comes cooked to your liking and the Frito misto which is not to be missed

Great food, great service and amazing views for sunset.

This seaside terrace offers a truly beautiful setting, especially at sunset—you’re literally dining above the water. The food is very good, and the service is equally satisfying. On warm summer nights, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine and some fresh seafood in a magical atmosphere. The view, the breeze, and the overall vibe make it a memorable dining experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for something scenic and relaxing.

Food is super great it was fresh ingredients . The service was very friendly and fast. The atmosphere is breathtaking the beach view and it’s clean sorrounding! Highly recommended for a chilling afternoon lunch.

It's good place to enjoy the seafood with the view of the sea.

That is a very nice restaurant in which you can eat just in front of a turquoise blue sea Excellent service Nice food Will be back

I came here as the other reviews seemed very positive but I had a very different experience. None of the food we ordered was good. The octopus croquettes barely taste of octopus, the fried calamari was extremely chewy, the grilled shrimp was full of sand, the only decent part of the meal was the gratin mussels. All the waiters seemed extremely rushed and agitated. Our “server” took away our plates at the start of the meal and didn’t replace them. He kept asking us to basically serve him by passing him all our plates and not taking away the dirty, used ones. I thought I’d have to start running the plates back to the kitchen myself. The one positive was the wine was great.

This place offers exceptional seafood varieties and really fresh. We had combo plates with raw oysters, clams, mussels and a plate raw prawns & shrimps. Also, we had sea urchin and raw tuna pastas that are delicious! Service was very friendly and outside dinning by the water in the evening was spectacular.

Fabulous dinner experience on a splendid fish restaurant. Raw mussels is the best ever!

Highly recommend! Fresh fish and great wine!

Amazing restaurant with fresh fish and also good wine selections. The waiters were super friendly and nice. The Octopus I had was the best one I've ever had in my whole life! Recommended

Waited too long,food quality isn't the best,small dishes,price bit too high for the portions. I do not recommend. To mention the fact that the staff barely check.

Wow! Great job, super fresh. Hit the bullseye with the flavors. Fish market by day Seafood Restaurant by night. Language barrier did not stop us from ordering more than we could eat!!! FANTASTICO!!! BRAVO!!!

Good restaurant, we had a grilled pulpo and tagliatelle alla volgone. We didn't try the Fish of the day which was good looking and affordable. Very nice real but could improve their English.

Delicious! I enjoyed: seafood salad, mixed (cold) veg, salmon carpaccio which was quite salty and maybe over marinaded but great none-the-less, lemon sorbet and white wine. They also do frittura di mare which looked great too. To finish I had a coffee flavoured with Baileys. Spot on! Costly but worth it $$$$$. They also have a 'lunch for €9.90' offer but I didn't see that until too late and there was no suggestion what might be included in that.

Fantastic Dinner! We found ourselfs in this wonderful restaurant advised by a friend! The whole menu is composed by freshly catched fish from the day (last batch coming at 18.30). We were honestly advised by the staff (Lucio for us) to which product to avoid based on the daily availability. The menù is offering a wide range of dishes, however we advise the first courses (unless you're chosing a fish from the counter). I won't stress enough the fact that all the products used are fresh and delicious. Less then 5 stars would not be enough for this wonderful people. A must if you are visiting Nardò!

One of the worst experience ever!! We went for dinner, and we realised quite soon that the Service was quite rough. The whole restaurant with about 60-70 people served by 2 guys: 1 for taking the order and just one for the bar back. Speechless. We waited more than 55min after ordering chips, beers, gluten-free pizza and some meat. The pizza we wanted was wrong, not cut (actually when we asked the waiter told us “we could cut by ourselves”) and attached on the plate, chips never received, beers arrived after the pizzas…what else? Fantastic no?! To the owner: you should close your business!

Great food and very nice architecture.

Way above average foodwise and really nice owners. Friendly and cosy athmosphere

lovely restaurant with really huge plates. Plan to be hungry if you eat here.

Very fresh and tasty food!

Pizza top

(Translated by Google) Personally, I didn't really appreciate the pizza dough. It was too elastic and quite heavy, so much so that I couldn't eat it all. The mozzarella, among other things, didn't seem to be of good quality and was quite disconnected from the dough... In short, I've eaten Neapolitan pizzas, but for a modest comparison, this pizza needs some work... Three stars as encouragement! (Original) Personalmente non ho apprezzato molto l impasto della pizza . Mi è risultato troppo elastico e abbastanza pesante , tanto da non riuscire a mangiarla tutta. La mozzarella tra l ' altro non mi sembrava di qualità ed era abbastanza slegata dall' impasto ... Insomma pizze napoletane ne ho mangiate ma per un modesto confronto deve lavorarci un po' questa pizza ... Un tre stelle come incoraggiamento!

Wonderful local cuisine with a slowfood touch. Wonderful ambiance on an ancient city square. Service is fast and friendly. The house wines are all quite good. Great value for money. An authentic reinvented peasant food experience that will have you return at least once or twice more to sample the delicious food.

Great italian traditional food, super fresh, friendly staff! Tuna steak was very good and so was the pasta.

We stopped here while wandering the old streets, with 4 adults and 4 kids, the location is truly charming, a beautiful spot to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations. We are big fans of Italian cuisine and usually seek out local pasta dishes, but the 3 pastas we tried were quite disappointing. We ordered Laiana Torta Affumicata, Ciciri e Tria, and Gnocchi di Patate. All felt overcooked (not al dente) and lacking in the balance of flavor we associate with traditional Italian cooking. The other couple in our group tried seafood pasta and agreed it was below average, though they managed to finish theirs. In our case, we left most of the pasta on the table, which almost never happens for us in Italy. We understand that Ciciri e Tria is a rustic, traditional Salento recipe (with fried pasta pieces and chickpeas), so perhaps it was more about our expectations. But even allowing for that, the execution felt flat compared to many other trattorie we’ve enjoyed across Puglia. In short: lovely setting, but the food was underwhelming, especially the pasta, which should shine in a trattoria.

We were not so amazed despite finding the place recommended in a Slow Food guide. The food was fine, not special, service was not very friendly and rushed despite not a lot of guests. Location is great tough, right in front of a church!

A wonderful dinner in a beautiful place! The antipasti was a great start to what would turn out to be an incredible dinner. I can’t recommend this place enough! I’ve lived in southern Italy for 9 years now and so I’ve learned a thing or two about what to look for in a decent and authentic restaurant. Trust me when I tell you that this place ticks all the right boxes! Definitely worth a stop if you visit the beautiful town of Nardó!

You might be tempted by the promise of authenticity and bio/organic quality but the only thing this place has to offer is a nice location. Food is average at best, verging on uninspiring with touches of suspiciously stale. Service is discourteous and definitely not kid friendly - probably underpaid staff mistreated by the same snobby business people who sensed the opportunity to wow tourists with the aura of “peasant cooking in glamorous setting”, while serving room temperature whites in 38 degree weather. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere.

The place looked bright and welcoming. It was absolutely packed on a Sunday night so we thought we'd wait for them to clear a table and give it as try. I had tagliatelle and lamb chops. The tagliatelle was OK. A bit overdone and nondiscript. The lamb chops came with some sort of coating that reminded me of bad southern fried chicken. They tasted terrible and appeared to be bad as I was up all night sick afterwards. My wife had lamb roll. Neither of us knew it was actually offal (probably our fault, but the term is used differently at home) I actually like offal, but this was terrible. I asked for a glass of red wine and was brought a large glass of fortified sweet wine! There was defintely something wrong that evening. All round, the worst meal I've ever had anywhere in the world.

Interesting, very familiar. Normal Italian family-type food. Friendly and helpful staff. Price is good, includes wine, red or white, as much as you can drink. Entertainment also included. Food quality medium.

(Translated by Google) An absolute must-try experience, especially for the seafood. 10 points for the fresh fish of the day and the chef. The fried Mediterranean fish (calamari and shrimp) was exquisite, all breaded in rice flour. The first courses were truly delicious. We had spaghetti with lobster, tortiglioni stuffed with burrata and red shrimp, truly out of this world, and the sea bass was equally delicious, fresh that day. We ate so well we felt right at home. Many thanks to the owner and the very kind and helpful waiters.

Abbiamo mangiato così bene che ci siamo sentiti a casa. Grazie mille al titolare e ai camerieri gentilissimi e disponibili.

(Translated by Google) A gastronomic pearl in the heart of Salento! I had the pleasure of dining at the Arneo Club for the second evening and I can say with certainty that it was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant is cared for down to the smallest details, elegant but welcoming, with an atmosphere that manages to perfectly combine refinement and Salento warmth. The fish is very fresh, cooked with great skill and creativity. Each dish is a small masterpiece: from the raw and cooked appetizers, rich in flavor and tastefully presented, to the balanced first courses rich in Mediterranean aromas. A special mention for the second course: a mixed grill of fish cooked to perfection, tender and tasty and a sea bream cooked in crazy water... The staff is very kind, professional but never intrusive, always ready to recommend the best wine to pair or to passionately tell the story behind each dish. Prices absolutely justified by the quality of the raw materials and the level of service. A restaurant that I highly recommend to those looking for an authentic seafood experience, far from the usual tourist clichés. I will definitely be back. Congratulations!! (Original) Una perla gastronomica nel cuore del Salento! Ho avuto il piacere di cenare all’Arneo Club per la seconda sera e posso dire con certezza che è stata un’esperienza indimenticabile. Il locale è curato nei minimi dettagli, elegante ma accogliente, con un’atmosfera che riesce a combinare perfettamente raffinatezza e calore salentino. Il pesce è freschissimo, cucinato con grande maestria e creatività. Ogni piatto è un piccolo capolavoro: dagli antipasti crudi e cotti, ricchi di sapore e presentati con gusto, ai primi piatti equilibrati e ricchi di profumi mediterranei. Una menzione speciale per il secondo: una grigliata mista di pesce cotta alla perfezione, tenera e saporita e un'orata di mare cotta all' acqua pazza... Il personale è gentilissimo, professionale ma mai invadente, sempre pronto a consigliare il miglior vino in abbinamento o a raccontare con passione la storia dietro ogni piatto. Prezzi assolutamente giustificati dalla qualità delle materie prime e dal livello del servizio. Un ristorante che consiglio vivamente a chi cerca un’autentica esperienza di mare, lontana dai soliti cliché turistici. Tornerò sicuramente. Complimenti!!

One of the best pizza i eat!!! Grazie mille!!! i will definetelt go back!!! and very lovely people!!

Try racchetta, if you like fresh ricotta and spinach. The place is simple, but the pizza is very good!

Very good pizza. Fairly simple surroundings.

The best pizza place in Nardó.

Goooood

Ok

(Translated by Google) You be the judge... I'm a pizza chef... I don't know if management has changed but this is not a Neapolitan pizza, neither traditional nor contemporary... completely burnt on the bottom and on the top... no crust, in fact the dough is not very hydrated and dry... And we're not even up to par with the mozzarella and the poor quality tomato sauce with no flavour... Perhaps only the name remains Neapolitan 😂 (Original) Giudicate voi... Sono pizzaiolo... Avrà cambiato gestione non so ma questa non é una pizza Napoletana ne tradizionale ne contemporanea... completamente bruciata sotto e sopra... cornicione assente , anzi impasto poco idratato e secco... E non ci siamo neanche come mozzarella e pomodoro scadente senza gusto... Di napoletano é rimasto solo il nome forse 😂

The climate of this place is really enjoyable. Unfortunately, it's the only thing on plus. We were waiting reaaaaly long, and the beef was though, with no flavour. Service didn't seem to care at all... Avoid at all costs.

We had to wait an awful lot of time, for a dish that was nearly as awful. Even though the atmosphere makes up for a lot of discontent, what it doesn't compensate is lack of flavor, heat and effort in the dish.

Great authentic braceria! The staff was really nice and helpful, the meat was delicious, and the price appropriate. I would recommend this place wholeheartedly :)

Traditional flavour of puglia.

(Translated by Google) We found ourselves in this little square by chance and noticed the tranquility of the place. The external location was a bit neglected, it's a shame but we still wanted to have a bite to eat. The quality of the food is certainly not to be despised but in my opinion everything was cooked very hastily. I had asked for the cut to be medium rare and it arrived well cooked and the meatballs in sauce, according to my partner, were cold inside, a shame for him. in my opinion with a little forethought the place would make much more... The bill is for everyone's budget and very reasonable prices and I was charged a lower price on the cut because an ingredient was missing. I wanted to try the bombettes. The skewer was made up of 3 good bombettes. I ate them but they too were a little raw inside. The bill adjusted for the missing ingredient was much appreciated... thank you... The very kind service of the girl. All in all it is not to be avoided. Advise. (Original) Ci siamo trovati per caso in questa piazzetta e abbiamo notato la tranquillità del posto. La location esterna era un po' trascurata peccato ma abbiamo voluto lo stesso mangiare un boccone. La qualità del cibo sicuramente non è da disprezzare ma secondo me è stato cucinato tutto con molta fretta avevo chiesto la tagliata in cottura media e mi è arrivata ben cotta e le polpette al sugo a dire della mia compagna erano fredde all interno un peccato per he secondo me con un po' di accortezza il posto renderebbe molto di più ... Il conto è per le tasche di tutti prezzi molto contenuti e mi è stato applicato un prezzo sulla tagliata inferiore perché mancava un ingrediente. Le bombette le ho volute assaggiare lo spiedino era formato da 3 bombette buone le ho mangiate ma anch'esse erano rimaste un pochino crude all'interno. Il conto ritoccato dall' ingrediente mancante è stato molto apprezzato...grazie... Il servizio molto gentile della ragazza. Tutto sommato non è da evitare. Consiglio.

(Translated by Google) We went to this Braceria a few evenings ago. It is located in a quiet street in the center of Nardò. They have a large assortment of meat but also other dishes. I tried the soup flowers stuffed with mozzarella as an appetizer. While we then took a variety of bowlers and other types of meat. The staff is kind. The meat is very good, while the wine we tasted (house rosé) was not up to par. (Original) Siamo stati in questa Braceria qualche sera fa. Si trova in una via tranquilla nel centro di Nardò. Hanno un vasto assortimento di carne ma anche altri piatti. Ho assaggiato come antipasto i fiori di zuppa ripieni con mozzarella. Mentre poi abbiamo preso una varietà di bombette e altri tipi di carne. Il personale è gentile. La carne è molto buona,mentre il vino da noi assaggiato (rosato della casa) non era all'altezza.

Delicious ice-creams that my husband and I tasted! It was so good that we had two in one day... a great treat for those Ice-Cream lovers out there.

(Translated by Google) We arrived with only one other table to serve, so it was practically empty. The waiter ignored us; unless we called him, he wouldn't stop by the table to take orders. We waited twenty minutes, and in the meantime, other customers arrived and were served before us. The pizzas we ordered were almost inedible. They use packaged or frozen ingredients (not listed on the menu) that aren't even cooked, but rather added to the pizza at the end, leaving it practically in a pool of water. The cashier was even worse, treated like prisoners... an unforgettable experience, far worse than anything else!!!! Absolutely to be avoided. (Original) Arrivati con solo un altro tavolo da servire, quindi praticamente vuoto. Il cameriere ci ha snobbato, se non siamo noi a chiamarlo non si ferma al tavolo per le ordinazioni. Abbiamo aspettato venti minuti, nel frattempo sono arrivati altri avventori che sono stati serviti prima di noi. Le pizze ordinate erano quasi immangiabili. Usano prodotti confezionati o surgelati (non segnalati sulla carta del menù) e nemmeno cotti, ma aggiunti a fine cottura sulla pizza lasciandola praticamente in una piscina d'acqua. Alla cassa pure peggio, trattamento da carcerati ... un'esperienza indimenticabile bel peggiore del senso!!!! Assolutamente da evitare

(Translated by Google) How wonderful it is when there are people in a bar who love what they do ❤️ We always come to Santa Maria al Bagno, and the welcome in bars and restaurants isn't always the best. The people make the difference! And here at Camera Cafe this year, we felt pampered and had a wonderful time. It was fantastic chatting with the girls at the bar while enjoying one of the best iced coffees with almond milk. And the pasticciotti? INSANE, traditional and "experimental," with incredible twists like Pear and Rum, Prickly Pear, or Coffee and Almond Milk. We ended the summer here, with kisses and hugs and the desire to bring summer back soon. (Original) Che bello quando in un bar ci sono persone che amano quello che fanno ❤️ Veniamo sempre a Santa Maria al Bagno e non sempre l’accoglienza nei bar e ristoranti è delle migliori. La differenza la fanno le persone! E qui al Camera Cafe quest’anno ci siamo sentiti coccolati e siamo stati benissimo. È stato fantastico chiaccherare con le ragazze del bar gustando uno dei migliori caffè in ghiaccio con latte di mandorla. E i pasticciotti? PAZZESCHI, tradizionali e “sperimentali”, con guasti incredibili come Pere e rhum o Fico d’India o ancora Caffè e latte di mandorle. Abbiamo chiuso l’estate qui, tra baci e abbracci e la voglia di far tornare presto l’Estate.

(Translated by Google) I ordered a seafood pizza, and it arrived full of water with boiled fish on top. They were very kind in exchanging it for another pizza. I asked for a 4 Seasons pizza, which was again full of water, with mushrooms and artichokes taken from the jar and thrown on top, uncooked, along with the pizza. The treatment was decidedly unpleasant. I'm disappointed because the same pizza on display at the bar was dry, crispy, and well-cooked, with mushrooms and artichokes roasted as they should be. A terrible experience. Attached is a photo of a glass containing water; I couldn't get the other liquid out because the pizza was soggy. (Original) Ho ordinato una pizza ai frutti di mare, la pizza è arrivata piena di acqua con il pesce lessato sopra, gentilissimi a cambiarla con un altra pizza .. ho chiesto una 4 stagioni, di nuovo piena di acqua con funghi e carciofi tolti dal barattolo buttati sopra non cotti insieme alla la pizza. Decisamente sgradevole il trattamento. Mi dispiace perchè la stessa pizza in vetrina al bar era asciutta, croccante e ben cotta con funghi e carciofi arrostiti come deve essere. Brutta esperienza. In allegato foto con bicchiere che contiene acqua, l altro liquido non sono riuscita a toglierlo perchè la pizza era zuppa.

(Translated by Google) I find myself having to write this negative review about the bar/pizzeria staff. A female employee was rude both in front of me and behind my back, because my companion reported it to me. I recommend you improve the service because the pizza is really good. (Original) mi ritrovo a dover scrivere questa recensione negativa riguardo il personale del bar pizzeria. una collaboratrice si è rivolta in modo maleducato sia di fronte a me che alle mie spalle siccome la mia compagnia me lo ha riferito. mi raccomando rinnovate il servizio perché la pizza è davvero buona.

(Translated by Google) I'll start by talking about the service: it was very fast but the pizza and the ingredients are of poor quality in my opinion, the dough has a lot of yeast but anyway the pizza is edible. My advice is to make a good dough with a good leavening and also with succulent ingredients. (Original) Inizio a parlare del servizio: è stato velocissimo ma la pizza e gli ingredienti sono per me di scarsa qualità l'impasto con molto lievito ma cmq la pizza è mangiabile il consiglio che vi do e di fare un buon impasto con una bella lievitazione e anche con ingredienti succulenti

(Translated by Google) We stumbled upon Camera Café for dinner by chance: the pizzas were truly delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly. A great find! I'll definitely be back! (Original) Siamo capitati per caso al Camera Café per cena: pizze davvero molto buone e personale cortese come se ne trova raramente. Un’ottima scoperta! ci tornerò sicuramente!!

(Translated by Google) We were there six years ago and we returned this year for two more times! Always everything delicious, high quality cuisine and ingredients. For those in the Nardò/Porto Cesareo area it is an absolutely recommended stop for a good first course that is meat or fish. We also really appreciated the second courses and appetizers (not to mention the wine!). We will definitely return as soon as we have the chance! (Original) Ci siamo stati sei anni fa e siamo tornati quest’anno per ben altre due volte! Sempre tutto buonissimo, cucina ed ingredienti di alta qualità. Per chi è in zona Nardò/Porto Cesareo è una tappa assolutamente consigliata per un buon primo che sua di terra o di mare. Abbiamo apprezzato tantissimo anche i secondi e gli antipasti (per non parlare del vino!). Torneremo assolutamente non appena ne avremo la possibilità!

(Translated by Google) After a long time, I returned with some friends to enjoy a delicious pizza, just as I remembered it at "Trattoria del Vizio." A waiter greeted us and immediately seated us at the table we booked at 9:00 PM, informing us that a colleague of his was away and that we should be patient. We ordered potato croquettes while we waited for the pizzas and drinks. Just a few minutes after placing our order, we were served the drinks, and shortly after the croquettes. They were piping hot and delicious. After 2 and a half hours from taking the order, the drinks had warmed up and the beers had evaporated. Furthermore, our patience for the pizzas was running out, until the waiter finally appeared with the pizzas, including three "Fantasia" pizzas, which featured gorgonzola as the main ingredient, in addition to prosciutto. These last pizzas, along with a few others, were overcooked and therefore difficult to cut. There was no gorgonzola on the "Fantasia" pizzas, and the slices of prosciutto were very thick and difficult to chew. I'm sorry I was disappointed because it wasn't what I remembered. We appreciated the waiter's kindness and his work in his colleague's absence, and I can also say the owner was considerate of the end. (Original) Dopo tanto tempo sono ritornato insieme ad alcuni amici a mangiare una buona pizza così come me la ricordavo alla "Trattoria del vizio". Un cameriere, ci ha accolti facendoci subito accomodare al tavolo prenotato alle ore 21:00, comunicandoci che era assente una sua collega e x questo di pazientare un po. Abbiamo ordinato delle crocchette di patate, nell'attesa che arrivassero le pizze e le bevande. Subito dopo qualche minuto dall'ordine, ci sono state servite le bevande e poco dopo anche le crocchette. Erano caldissime e buonissime. Dopo 2 ore e mezza dalla presa dell'ordine, le bevande si erano super riscaldate e le birre erano svaporate e in più la pazienza di attendere le pizze veniva sempre meno, fino al punto che vediamo spuntare il cameriere con le pizze, di cui 3 pizze "Fantasia" che includevano come ingrediente principale oltre al prosciutto crudo anche il gorgonzola. Quest' ultime pizze assieme a qualcun'altra si sono presentate molto cotte e di conseguenza difficili da tagliare. Il gorgonzola non c'era sulle pizze "Fantasia" e le fette di prosciutto crudo risultavano molto spesse e difficili da masticare. Mi dispiace di essere rimasto deluso perché non era come me lo ricordavo. Abbiamo apprezzato però la simpatia del cameriere e il suo lavoro svolto in mancanza della sua collega e posso dire anche un occhio di riguardo alla fine del titolare.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the restaurant is a bit hidden, but it's right in the center... good, plentiful food with very fair prices... the waitress was really kind and attentive to detail... thank you so much ☺️ plghhhhhhh (Original) Trattoria purtroppo un po’ nascosta, ma attaccata al centro… cibo buono e abbondante con prezzi molto onesti… la cameriera veramente gentile e attenta ai dettagli… grazie mille ☺️ plghhhhhhh

(Translated by Google) This review refers only to the pizzas... Nice place, very nice and welcoming outdoor seating, friendly and helpful staff/owner, good pizza, but the big problem is the wait times. We waited over 45 minutes for some pizzas, and it wasn't too crowded. For a dinner, from pizza to coffee, it took over two hours, too long... It's a shame because, apart from the wait, it was a lovely evening. Anyway, I recommend trying the trattoria... I'll also try the restaurant and maybe I'll gladly change my review if the service is quicker. (Original) Recensione riferita alle sole pizze......Locale bello,posto esterno molto bello e accogliente,personale/proprietario simpatico e disponibile,pizza buona ma il problema grosso sono i tempi di attesa. Per avere qualche pizza abbiamo aspettato oltre 45 minuti e non c era il pienone,per una cena dalla pizza al caffè oltre due ore,troppo... peccato perché a parte l attesa è stata una bella serata,comunque consiglio di provare la trattoria..... proverò anche il ristorante e magari cambierò volentieri la recensione se il servizio sarà più celere.

(Translated by Google) Overall, a positive experience. The outdoor seating in the back is pleasant even in spring and autumn. One tip I can give is about the pizzas. Some of the edges were burnt and particularly tough. The fried foods and appetizers, however, were fine. (Original) Esperienza tutto sommato positiva. All'aperto sul retro si sta bene anche nella mezza stagione come l'autunno. Un consiglio che posso dare riguarda le pizze. Alcuni bordi delle pizze erano bruciati e particolarmente duri. Mentre i frittini e gli antipasti andavano bene.

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere was very nice, but our experience wasn't positive. We arrived at 9:00, having made a reservation, and after ordering five pizzas and some fish, we waited over an hour and a half, even though the place was only half full. Despite our request to have at least the children's dishes delivered, the staff kept telling us they were already in the wood-fired oven. The pizza was difficult to cut and felt like a large, hard-to-chew cookie. I should also add the rudeness of the waiter, who, when we asked for napkins, scolded us for not having asked for them sooner. Separate bills cannot be paid by card. (Original) Ambiente molto carino ma la nostra esperienza non è stata positiva. Siamo arrivati alle 9.00, dopo aver prenotato, e dopo aver ordinato 5 pizze e del pesce abbiamo atteso più di un'ora e mezza sebbene il locale fosse pieno solo a metà. Nonostante la richiesta di far arrivare almeno le portate dei bimbi, il personale ci rispondeva continuamente che erano già nel forno a legna. La pizza era difficile da tagliare e sembrava un grosso biscotto duro da masticare. Aggiungo la scortesia del cameriere che alla richiesta di avere dei tovaglioli ci ha redarguito dicendoci perchè non li avessimo chiesti prima. Non è possibile pagare conti separati con la carta.

(Translated by Google) Review made after three visits, two of which were 6 years apart. Excellent trattoria in the historic center of Nardò. I tried many of the dishes offered on the menu and found each one exquisite. I recommend the octopus meatballs and the cavatelli mussels and beans. The atmosphere is rustic but well-kept. If you sit on the terrace there is a high probability that a local kitten will stop by to visit you; there is a colony that seems to particularly love this place. The service is reasonably fast and the staff is extremely welcoming. A ritual stop for every time I am lucky enough to visit Salento. (Original) Recensione effettuata dopo tre visite, di cui due effettuate a 6 anni di distanza dall'altra. Ottima trattoria nel centro storico di Nardò. Ho provato molti dei piatti offerti sul menù e ho trovato ognuno di essi squisito. Consiglio le polpette di polpo e i cavatelli cozze e fagioli. L'atmosfera è rustica ma curata. Se vi sedete in terrazza c'è un'alta probabilità che passi a visitarvi un gattino della zona; c'è una colonia che sembra amare particolarmente questo posto. Il servizio è ragionevolmente veloce e il personale è estremamente accogliente. Una tappa di rito per ogni volta che ho la fortuna di visitare il Salento.

A nice place with an internal garden. Food is ok but overpriced for what you get. Service could be improved

(Translated by Google) We found this restaurant by chance on The Fork app and it was truly a pleasant discovery. Everything was excellent: for starters, we had Ciceri e tria (a type of pasta) and exceptional mussels, followed by Maccheroncini Salentini allo scoglio (a type of seafood macaroni). For main course, we had a mixed grill and shrimp tempura, all very fresh and high-quality: the fish was excellent and you could taste it. To finish, I chose an almond and fig spumoncino (a type of dessert), which was also exceptional. The service was impeccable: the waiter (I believe also the owner) was very kind and discreet, allowing us to enjoy a private and relaxing evening. The atmosphere is soft and pleasant. The prices are absolutely fair for the quality. Highly recommended! (Original) Abbiamo trovato questo ristorante per caso sull’app The Fork ed è stata davvero una piacevole scoperta. Tutto ottimo: come primi abbiamo preso Ciceri e tria e delle cozze eccezionali, seguiti da Maccheroncini salentini allo scoglio. Per secondo, una grigliata mista e dei gamberi in tempura, tutti freschissimi e di qualità: il pesce era ottimo e si sentiva. Per concludere, ho scelto uno spumoncino alle mandorle e fichi, anche quello eccezionale. Il servizio è stato impeccabile: il cameriere (credo anche proprietario) è stato molto gentile e discreto, permettendoci di trascorrere una serata riservata e rilassante. L’atmosfera è soft e piacevole. I prezzi sono assolutamente onesti in rapporto alla qualità. Consigliatissimo!

(Translated by Google) This family-run restaurant is located just outside the historic center of the beautiful Nardò. It features a single interior room with splendid star-shaped vaults and an outdoor space behind it, perfect for the warmer months. A warm and welcoming atmosphere is complemented by pleasant background music. Meals are simple yet refined. The menu offers both seafood and meat dishes, including some iconic dishes from the culinary traditions of Salento and Puglia. THE HIGH-QUALITY OF THE RAW MATERIALS, enhanced by the kitchen's experience and excellent cooking; the NORMAL WAIT TIMES; and the owner's friendly and helpful service make this a highly recommended stop in the city. (Original) Locale, a gestione familiare, situato appena fuori dal centro storico della splendida Nardò. Presenta un'unica sala interna dalle splendide volte a stella e uno spazio esterno retrostante perfetto per la bella stagione. Atmosfera calda e accogliente allietata da piacevole musica di sottofondo. Mice en place essenziale ma curata. Il menù propone portate sia di mare che di terra, con alcuni piatti simbolo della tradizione culinaria salentina e pugliese. L'ALTA QUALITÀ DELLE MATERIE PRIME IMPIEGATE, valorizzate dall'esperienza della cucina e da una COTTURA OTTIMALE; I TEMPI DI ATTESA nella NORMA; IL SERVIZIO CORTESE E DISPONIBILE del proprietario rendono questo posto una tappa consigliata in città.

(Translated by Google) We had high expectations based on the reviews we read here, but we were disappointed. The quality of the fish is frozen, with prices comparable to fresh fish or even gourmet cuisine. Fried fish cost €15, too greasy, and again not fresh. We weren't happy given the quality-price ratio. It was like eating a tourist menu for the price of a Michelin-starred restaurant. You can definitely find better around. (Original) Avevamo alte aspettative viste le recensioni che abbiamo letto qui, ma ci siamo dovuti ricredere. La qualità del pesce è surgelato con prezzi da pesce fresco o addirittura cucina gourmet. Frittura da €15, troppo unta e ancora di un prodotto non fresco. Non siamo stati contenti visto il rapporto qualità prezzo. Come mangiare un menu turistico al prezzo di un ristorante stella Michelin. Sicuramente si può trovare di meglio in giro.

(Translated by Google) For it being mid-August, we overlooked the forgotten reservation and table setup for nine people. Luckily, it wasn't full. The service from their staff was uninformed and unfamiliar, and the hospitality, one of our finest qualities, was lacking. The dishes were for nine people: The appetizers were miserable, though quite decent in flavor. The oysters were flavorless, 4 euros each. No comment. The first courses were each lacking in something, for example, the shellfish paccheri were missing their sear. The linguine with sea urchins tasted a bit too bitter. The dessert was average. A bottle of wine and three half-liter jugs of rosé. Okay. Don't be fooled by my photos, because I take them well, but what I write is always the truth. What will make you think and be a little shocked is the final price for nine locals at this restaurant, and it doesn't matter if it was mid-August. From 510 to 520 euros. Unbelievable. I will never return. (Original) Per essere ferragosto abbiamo sorvolato sulla dimenticanza della prenotazione e sistemazione del tavolo di un numero di 9 persone,fortuna che non era pieno. Il servizio dei loro dipendenti era di scarsa conoscenza,poca dimestichezza e l ospitalità che è una delle nostre qualità piu belle è stata scadente. I piatti erano per 9 persone: Gli antipasti miseri anche se di gusto abbastanza decente. Le ostriche erano senza sapore 4 euro l una. No comment. I primi mancavano ognuno di qualcosa per esempio i paccheri ai crostacei erano senza seghetto. Le linguine ai ricci,la polpa un sapore un po troppo amaro. Il dolce normale. 1 bottiglia di vino e tre brocche da mezzo litro di rosato. Ok. Non fatevi ingannare dalle mie foto perche le faccio bene,ma ciò che scrivo è la verità sempre. ciò che vi farà riflettere e rimanere un pò allibiti è il prezzo finale di 9 persone del posto in questo ristorante e non c entra se era ferragosto. Dai 510 a 520 euro. Da non credere. Non tornerò mai più.

(Translated by Google) Sunday, October 26, 2025 We found this restaurant through The Fork. We wanted to try it, located in Nardò, a few kilometers from Lecce. We shared an appetizer, a seafood salad with very balanced flavors, and you could tell the ingredients were handled with care and attention. Two first courses, "paccheri gialla con crostacei" (yellow paccheri with shellfish), featured fresh produce and flavors that typify our Bari cuisine. Finally, a second course, "grilled mixed seafood": excellent selection of ingredients, impeccable seasoning and presentation. We paid €66.00, including water, a glass of wine, and coffee, taking advantage of The Fork's 30% discount. The owner was friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. (Original) Domenica 26.10.25 Trovato locale tramite The Fork, abbiamo voluto provare questo ristorante che si trova a Nardò a pochi km da Lecce. Abbiamo preso in due un antipasto, "insalata di mare" con sapori molto equilibrati, si sente che il prodotto è trattato con cura ed attenzione. Due primi "paccheri gialli con crostacei": prodotto fresco, sapori che identificano la NS cucina Barese e per ultimo un secondo "Grigliata di mare misto": Materia prima ottima scelta, condimento e presentazione eccepibile. Abbiamo pagato compreso acqua + calice vino + caffè euro 66,00, usufruendo dello sconto the fork del 30%. Titolare cordiale e disponibile Consigliatissimo.

OMG the spumone!!! Had the one with walnuts and figs. I live in Rome and this was best gelato this year for me. ❤️

Great desserts including the best pasticiotto in all of Puglia and cocktails! Also, the staff was very kind and welcoming.

Really delicious flavoured good quality gelato ice cream. Would highly recommend.

Great ice cream…! And too many items to taste. You need to come back a few times!

Barman blended orange peel into my orange apple carrot ginger fruit juice. Horrid. Actually made me feel ill... that should be one star for this experience - I actually feel sick after drinking a ‘healthy’ juice there - but giving 3 stars as previously I had good experience there and cakes are good.

Bad news this time around. The magic seems having left this place, still ok but not the level of grace it used to have. BTW pets are not welcome anymore inside the main room, way lesser tables are assigned to dogs friends. Disappointing , but there are better alternatives walking distance in Piazza Salandra.

Excellent Gelateria and bar. Wonderful selection of Gelato and pastries in a very pleasant space. Great service and friendly staff.

We visited Parigo for a special night, hoping for a refined dining experience, but unfortunately we were very disappointed. The atmosphere was heavy and unpleasant, even at our outdoor table, and the chef was smoking outside while a few tables were occupied. We ordered the antipasto misto at €26, but the portions were tiny, and the waiter couldn’t clearly explain what was on the plate or the type of cheese used in one of the dishes. The main course, pasta with vongole, was overcooked and tasted like it had been prepared days in advance. While the chef kindly removed the main dish from the bill, I ended up leaving without eating and had to find another restaurant in town. Considering the price and the experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Had lunch with my bf today. We discovered this French style restaurant thanks to the app TheFork. The owner was super friendly and service was professional and with a smile. We got the orange and shrimp risotto (which was perfectly cooked) and a blueberry tart. Highly recommend it!

French inspired cuisine served in a delightful manner with attention to detail and flavors

Extremely pleasant dinner in a refined retaurant with incredible dishes which combines French inspiration with local products from Puglia under the guide of Chef Salvatore Lega

Unfortunately the food was not good, maybe they’ve changed owners or something. But the location was pretty, and one of the waitresses tried to give some tips about the menu. But I wouldn’t come back.

Delicious food nice atmosphere. Good staff. Highly recommended big 10 plus!

Everything was perfect! highly recommended!!

Super!

(Translated by Google) I gave 5 stars to the environment because I ate them at my friend's house. Let me start by saying that I had ordered 8 takeaway pizzas at 10pm. I arrived at the restaurant 5 minutes after the scheduled time and the pizzas STILL had to be prepared. After thirty-five minutes of waiting, the pizzas are delivered to me. I arrive home and when it's time to pick up mine, I practically notice a Pollock painting (obviously transported with my car, therefore impeccable and the pizzas have ALWAYS been horizontal). All the pizzas were visibly okay but mine, margherita con bufala, was practically all drained on one corner: I practically ate wet dough. It's a shame because the dough was good anyway. (Original) Ho messo 5 stelle all’ambiente perché le ho mangiate a casa di un mio amico. Premetto che avevo ordinato 8 pizze da asporto alle 22. Arrivo al locale 5 minuti dopo l’orario previsto e le pizze dovevano ANCORA essere preparate. Dopo trentacinque minuti di attesa, mi consegnano le pizze. Arrivo a casa e al momento di prendere la mia, noto praticamente un quadro di Pollock (trasporto ovviamente fatto con la mia macchina, quindi impeccabile e le pizze sono state SEMPRE in orizzontale). Tutte le pizze erano visibilmente okay ma la mia, margherita con bufala, era praticamente tutta scolata su un angolo: ho praticamente mangiato impasto umido. Peccato perché comunque l’impasto era buono.

(Translated by Google) Excellent food, excellent and quality pizza, friendly and courteous staff. The girl at the cash register with the glasses is a little less so.. I give four stars and not five because we waited 55 minutes for 6 pizzas and there were only 3 tables in the room.. but it's worth it! (Original) Cibo ottimo, pizza ottima e dí qualità, personale gentile e cortese. Un po’ meno la ragazza in cassa con gli occhiali.. do quattro stelle e non cinque perché abbiamo aspettato 55 minuti per 6 pizze ed eravamo solo 3 tavoli in sala.. però ne vale la pena!

(Translated by Google) Very good pizza. Wonderful pizza base. Took bresaola and grand padano. My partner took messicana. Good service and good toilet facilities. Very quiet at 1 pm on a Tuesday which we appreciate. A must! (Original) Mycket god pizza. Underbar pizzabotten. Tog med bresaola och grand padano. Min sambo tog messicana.

At first glance, it might seem like a bad choice, but fortunately it wasn't, because the pizza was delicious, as was the fried pizza, which is actually fried pizza strips with prosciutto. The place is small but very welcoming, and the owner is extremely kind, acting alone as waiter and pizza chef (we had two tables, so I assume there wasn't any need for more staff). If I ever pass through Nardò again, it will definitely be a stop on my trip. The only downside is the entrance, where there are three very high steps, and if you have a stroller or even a pram it's a problem, although, seeing the chairs and tables stacked together outside, perhaps in the evening or in the summer there is the possibility of eating outside.

Al primo impatto potrebbe sembrare una scelta sbagliata,ma per fortuna non è stato così, perché la pizza era buonissima, così come la pizza fritta che in realtà sono dei listelli di pizza fritta con prosciutto crudo, il locale piccolo, ma molto accogliente, il titolare gentilissimo dove da solo fa da cameriere e pizzaiolo (eravamo 2 tavoli quindi presumo non ci fosse bisogno di più personale). Se dovessi ripassare da Nardò, sarà sicuramente una tappa del mio viaggio. Unica cosa negativa è l'entrata, dove ci sono tre gradini molto alti e se si ha un passeggino o addirittura una carrozzina è un problema, anche se, vedendo delle sedie e tavoli impilate tra loro fuori, forse di sera o in estate c'è la possibilità di mangiare all'esterno.

(Translated by Google) The best pizza I've ever eaten! In this rustic and welcoming place I tasted a very good pizza, with soft and digestible dough and excellent quality ingredients. The staff is very kind and helpful, the service is fast and the prices are reasonable. I will definitely go back. (Original) La pizza più buona che abbia mai mangiato! In questo locale rustico e accogliente ho assaggiato una pizza buonissima, con impasto soffice e digeribile e ingredienti di ottima qualità. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile, il servizio veloce e i prezzi contenuti. Ci tornerò sicuramente.

(Translated by Google) We've had takeout from various pizzerias in the area, but these remain our favorites and we always happily choose them! Delicious pizzas, well-seasoned, with thick, perfectly cooked fries. Highly recommended. (Original) Abbiamo preso da asporto in varie pizzerie della zona, ma loro restano i nostri preferiti e li scegliamo sempre volentieri! Pizze squisite, ben condite, patatine spesse e cotte al punto giusto. Straconsiglio

The only good thing about this place is the pizza. But for a 3 minute pizza we waited more than an hour. And they had 7 tables, so not very busy, only indolent. Be aware that at the bathroom there is No water.

Pizza Napolitana was delicious and the buratta entre stunning with avocado paste and lemon was so good and fresh Service was served like family

Pizza was great and came super fast. The Waiter was a sympathetic guy. Nothing to complain about. Had a flawless evening there

One of the best pizza's I've ever had, service was prompt and the staff were extremely friendly and efficient, nice location also if your eating outside on the Via Duoma, especially in the evening.

We came here with a one year old baby. Very friendly staff, also for her. Food is very good. We’ll come back here!

Nothing special, pizzas were ok, antipasti were fine as well. ...But nothing special, there are many better places in the area. But waiting time was unacceptable. We spent over 2 hours here, in which over 1 hour waiting for 3 pizzas and then 30 minutes for the bill. Terrible.

Absolutely tasteful food, excellent service, friendly and helpful personal, good looking restaurant, fast kitchen. Would eat every time again here. 💪🏽🥰

Nothing special for the taste and pricey. It's a fine dining restaurant but not a fine taste.

Excellent dinner. Pasta with seafood and tuna super! A quiet & romantic place where you can eat very well.

Their dishes look simple yet they're mixed very well. The taste of their dishes is natural and is balanced. I tried tuna and orecchiette with buffala cheese and tomato souce, which were delighteful.

Excellent food, friendly service and a great view over the bay. The menu doesn't offer a huge variety, the prices are not low and our pasta dishes seemed to take a while, but all in all a very nice experience. Try the locally brewed weiss! Santa Caterina is a lovely resort and Mareientu is a great place to go after a swim off the rocks or a hike in the nearby pine forest.

They are NOT open! A local told me that they have gone bankrupt. I thought details were checked regularly.

Wery wonderful. Good food, good personal and a nice atmosphere. The chef wery pleasant and professional.

For sure it is not good value for money. Expensive and not so tasty. I do not recommend. The staff doesn't know english.

Went for a drink - lovely athmosphere with relaxed lounge music and great lighting. The staff is lovely and attentive. Ordered a Hugo - perfectly balanced. I wouldn’t definitely recommend and come back to try the food. Drink Prices are very reasonable !

Good atmosphere and service. Food was mediocre. Unfortunately some of the bread we got was stale. The polpette and fave cream we got were ok. The pasta plates we got for second were also just ok. My paccheri and fish almost had no fish.

Good food, nice people, amazing set-up and design. We will be back. Grazie!

Lovely spot, especially the roof terrace where we ate. Staff were very friendly and warm.

Tasty local specialities and nice choice of local wines. Lovely terrace . Friendly staff.

Amazing food and wine. Pasta al limone and Cicatelli allo scoglio were to die for. Service was perfect, as much as the atmosphere and the cozze gratinate !

Subpar service, worse food. Undercooked pasta (not al dente, but truly undercooked/hard). Warm dishes came out cold. Service was chaotic.

Good seafood food, good atmosphere, welcoming staff. Worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) We ate very well, the place is nice, the restaurant manager is very attentive, knows how to pamper customers and knows how to do his job well. The dishes were all good, tasty and in step with the new trends in today's cuisine. The service times were correct. We returned the next day and can confirm that the pizzas were also to our liking. Great find! (Original) Abbiamo mangiato molto bene, il locale è carino, il responsabile di sala molto attento, sa coccolare i clienti e sa far bene il proprio lavoro. I piatti erano tutti buoni, saporiti e al passo con le nuove tendenze della cucina di oggi. Le tempistiche del servizio sono state corrette. Siamo tornati il giorno successivo e possiamo confermare che anche le pizze sono state di nostro gradimento. Ottima scoperta!

(Translated by Google) The location is beautiful, we didn't have dinner but we sat at the tables by the pool for a cocktail. Unfortunately the bar only serves drinks and ice cream, which I must say is good. The service was languishing, I had to call for attention to be served, they served us ice creams without even a napkin or at least a glass of water. The waiters were missing. (Original) Bella la location, non abbiamo cenato ma ci siamo accomodati a dei tavolini a bordo piscina per un cocktail. Purtroppo il bar serve solo bibite e gelati,che devo dire buono. Il servizio langue, ho dovuto chiamare l l'attenzione per essere serviti, ci hanno servito dei gelati senza neanche un tovagliolo e almeno un bicchiere d'acqua. I camerieri latitavano.

(Translated by Google) A place I visited a few years ago, I honestly expected more given the new management☹️. Negative experience, ordered starters and first courses, what they bring after exactly two minutes!! The first course🤔 and the starters? Not to mention the order was taken twice🤪, the first one was lost! And finally, the cost paid is not worth what was eaten, not even for the location. Disappointed. (Original) Posto che avevo visitato qualche anno fa, sinceramente mi aspettavo di più vista la nuova gestione☹️. Esperienza negativa , ordinati antipasti e primi , cosa portano dopo due minuti esatti!! Il primo🤔 e gli antipasti? Per non parlare dell'ordinazione presa per ben due volte🤪 , la prima si era persa! E infine il costo pagato non vale quanto mangiato nemmeno per la location. Deluso.

(Translated by Google) I found myself in this place for work... We had a pizza and I must say it was good... Large space with poolside (Original) Mi sono trovato in questo luogo per questione di lavoro... Abbiamo preso una pizza e devo dire che era buona... Ampio spazio con bordo piscina

(Translated by Google) Nice location, maybe a little retro inside. We ate bruschetta and pizza. Very good and light. Unfortunately the service is particularly lacking especially due to the speed... Recommended only if you don't have many expectations with speed (Original) Location carina, forse un pochetto retrò l'interno. Abbiamo mangiato delle bruschette e pizza. Molto buona e leggera. Purtroppo il servizio è particolarmente carente soprattutto per la velocità... Consigliato solo se non si ha molte pretese con la rapidità

(Translated by Google) Very elegant restaurant, friendly and helpful staff and welcoming location. I had dinner and lunch and the photos speak for themselves. Great guys, keep up the good work you will definitely move forward. Compliments!! (Original) Ristorante molto elegante, personale gentile e disponibile e location accogliente. Io ho cenato e pranzato e le foto parlano da sole. Grandi ragazzi, continuate così che andrete sicuramente avanti. Complimenti!!

(Translated by Google) A farmhouse just steps from the coast. The property offers both rooms and a restaurant open to all (guests and non-guests alike). It's absolutely the place to be if you're looking for a traditional farmhouse. The restaurant offers a "menu" approach: appetizer + first course or appetizer + second course, and finally appetizer + first course + second course. Drinks and desserts are not included. I personally tried both a first course and a mixed roast, and I'd recommend both. But believe me, the appetizers here are the ones my mother and grandmother made when I was younger. Here, you can truly savor authentic products. (Original) Una masseria a due passi dalla litoranea. La struttura offre sia delle stanze che un ristorante aperto a tutti (ospiti e non). E' assolutamente quello che c'è da vedere se state cercando una masseria tipica. L'impostazione del locale è a "menu": antipasto + primo o antipasto + secondo e infine antipasto + primo + secondo. Bevande e dolci a parte. Personalmente ho assaggiato sia un primo che un arrosto misto e mi sento di promuovere un po' tutto. Ma credetemi che qui gli antipasti sono quelli che mia madre e mia nonna realizzavano quando ero più piccolo. Qui si assaporano proprio i prodotti autentici.

(Translated by Google) A corner of paradise in the heart of nature. This masseria, immersed in the greenery and tranquility of the local countryside, is a true gem. The rustic and welcoming atmosphere immediately captivates, offering an authentic and relaxing atmosphere. The food is excellent, carefully prepared and served with kindness and attention. Each dish is accompanied by a delicate and enveloping wine, perfect for enhancing the traditional flavors. The desserts, featuring artisanal jams, round off a flawless gastronomic experience. An enchanting place to enjoy an evening of flavor, serenity, and good company. An experience that will remain in your heart. (Original) Un angolo di paradiso nel cuore della natura. Questa masseria, immersa nel verde e nella tranquillità della campagna locale, è un vero gioiello. L’ambiente rustico e accogliente conquista fin da subito, offrendo un’atmosfera autentica e rilassante. Il cibo è eccellente, preparato con cura e servito con gentilezza e attenzione. Ogni piatto è accompagnato da un vino delicato e avvolgente, perfetto per esaltare i sapori della tradizione. I dolci, con marmellate artigianali, chiudono in bellezza un’esperienza gastronomica impeccabile. Un luogo incantevole dove vivere una serata all’insegna del gusto, della serenità e della buona compagnia. Un’esperienza che resta nel cuore.

(Translated by Google) The location is lovely, a typical Salento farmhouse with a warm welcome from the owner. We chose the appetizer and main course menu. The appetizer, without the usual cured meats, featured vegetables, cheese, and frittatas—really good. The meatballs in tomato sauce were excellent. They also served a house rosé and a dessert. The waitress, Sofia, was excellent and friendly. (Original) Gradevole la location, tipica masseria Salentina con una valida accoglienza del titolare. Abbiamo scelto il menù antipasto e secondo. Un antipasto senza i soliti salumi, ma con verdure , formaggio, frittatine, veramente buono. Ottime le polpette di carne al sugo. Rosato della casa e un dolce. Brava e simpatica la cameriera Sofia.

(Translated by Google) A fantastic masseria, the fruit of years of family passion. Special credit goes to Mrs. Wanda and her daughter Sara. The rooms, outdoor spaces, and the warm welcome from all the staff create a perfect balance. Dinner and breakfast complete the experience. We would recommend Masseria Scianne for any occasion, whether short or long stays. (Original) Fantastica masseria, frutto di anni di passione da parte di un'intera famiglia. Con merito speciale della signora Wanda e di sua figlia Sara. Un'armonia totale tra camere, ambienti esterni e accoglienza da parte di tutto il personale. Cena e colazione a completare l'opera. Consiglieremmo la Masseria Scianne per qualsiasi occasione, sia soggiorni brevi che lunghi.

(Translated by Google) What can I say? It's an enchanting place. A wonderful location, the soft lighting, glimpses of light stone, and convivial corners immediately transport you to a place where relaxation and charm blend harmoniously. I had the pleasure of tasting their traditional, unique dishes, typical of Salento, with my friends. The appetizers were top-notch, everything freshly prepared. I recommend the braciole and the grilled bombette, an explosion of flavors. I'd also like to compliment Piero and Sofia for their excellent service, comparable to that of a luxury restaurant, ready to satisfy any request. We also had the honor of meeting the owner of this splendid establishment, Mrs. Wanda, who for over 40 years has dedicated all her love and time to improving and growing every year. Sara, now it's your turn to continue this true "jewel" and Salento heritage! Until next time, you are exceptional! (Original) Che dire, posto incantevole. Location meravigliosa, l’illuminazione soffusa, gli scorci in pietra chiara e gli angoli conviviali ti trasportano immediatamente in un posto dove relax e charme si fondono armoniosamente. Ho avuto il piacere di degustare assieme ai miei amici i loro piatti tradizionali, unici, tipicità salentine. Antipasti top, tutto fresco preparato al momento, consiglio le braciole e le bombette cotte alla brace, un’esplosione di sapori. Inoltre, vorrei fare i complimenti a Piero e Sofia per il servizio eccellente, paragonabile a quello di un ristorante di lusso, pronti a soddisfare qualsiasi richiesta. Abbiamo avuto l’onore di conoscere anche la proprietaria di questa splendida struttura, la Signora Wanda, che da più di 40 anni dedica tutto il suo amore ed il proprio tempo per migliorare e crescere ogni anno. Sara adesso tocca a te portare avanti questo vero e proprio “gioiello” e patrimonio salentino! Alla prossima, siete eccezionali!

(Translated by Google) What struck us most about this place was the AUTHENTICITY of the food, but above all, the welcoming staff, who were impeccable, given the family management of the Masseria. The culinary experience began with the appetizers, rich, delicious, and truly high-quality, which we even brought back a second time because they were so popular. Not to mention the orecchiette with turnip tops, simple but cooked to perfection, truly mouth-watering. For the main courses, we chose two very simple dishes, and their very simplicity struck us (meatballs in tomato sauce and a mix of Apulian meat and sausage bombette). We concluded our dinner with desserts, homemade from start to finish (cheesecake with homemade jams). All this was accompanied by a good wine recommended by the staff, which pleasantly complemented our dishes. The experience was fantastic: simple, authentic, and special. We highly recommend this place if you're looking for high-quality, generous dishes, and fair prices. In short, if you want to breathe in the tranquil air and enjoy a quality dinner, this masseria is the place to be... (Original) La cosa che ci ha colpito maggiormente di questo posto è stata la GENUINITÀ dal cibo ma soprattutto dal personale accogliente che è stato impeccabile, data la gestione familiare a capo della Masseria. L'esperienza culinaria è iniziata con gli antipasti, ricchi, buonissimi e davvero di grande qualità, riportati anche una seconda volta poiché molto graditi. Per non parlare delle orecchiette alle cime di rapa, semplici ma cucinate alla perfezione, davvero da leccarsi i baffi. A seguire i secondi, abbiamo scelto due cose molto semplici e proprio la loro semplicità ci ha colpito (polpette al sugo e un misto di bombette pugliese di carne e salsiccia). Abbiamo concluso la nostra cena con i dolci, fatti da loro, dall'inizio alla fine (cheesecake con marmellate di loro produzione). Tutto accompagnato con del buon vino consigliato dal personale che ha accompagnato piacevolmente i nostri piatti. L'esperienza è stata fantastica, semplice, genuina e speciale. Consigliamo vivamente questo posto, se cercate un luogo dove la qualità è alta, i piatti abbondanti, senza scendere con la qualità e i prezzi sono onesti. Insomma, se volete respirare aria tranquilla e godervi una cena di qualità, questa masseria è il posto giusto...

(Translated by Google) EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! Very beautiful and well-kept place. We had dinner there; traditional Apulian dishes, simple but very good. Both house and bottled wine were available; we chose the house wine, which also turned out to be a good product. Homemade olive oil. Overall, we were very happy. Highly recommended for those seeking serenity, tradition, and peace. Very friendly staff and quick service. The ciciri e tria was excellent! Guys, go there! (Original) OTTIMA ESPERIENZA! Posto molto bello e tenuto bene. Siamo stati a cena, pietanze tradizionali pugliesi poco elaborate ma molto buone. Vino sia della casa che in bottiglia, noi abbiamo preso quello della casa e anch’esso si è scoperto essere un buon prodotto. Olio di produzione propria. Insomma, noi siamo stati molto contenti. Posto consiglitissimo per chi cerca serenità, tradizione, pace. Personale molto cordiale e servizio rapido. Ottima la ciciri e tria! Ragazzi andateci!

Good gluten free pizza, great service, took it to go. Will come back again!

Simply amazing! Largest choice of pizza I ever saw in Salento, very fresh and tasty ingredients, top quality. Very friendly staff, you will feel at home. There was a waiter watching the terrasse to make sure everyone had what they needed and felt ok. Dolce menu very good, artisanal spumone with original recipes like the tujon-fior di latte. And everyone very patient with our poor Italian. Grazie Mille everyone, best restaurant in Nardo 😍

Amazing pizzas, services... The waiter was really nice, he learns us Italian language. We had a great time. We recommand.

Best Pizza ever eaten. 10 stars! Thank you for this great meal.

Beautiful place, awesome pizza. Friendly stuff. Fair prices.

Severely understaffed. They keep an exaggerated number of tables for their capacity

Decent pizza and fast service!

What a little gem of a place. The staff are sooo nice and the food is delicious. Probably the best pizza I have ever had in Italy. The pizza base was amazing, It was so nice I forgot to take a photo. We also had a few drinks earlier in the day sitting on the wall by the beach. 5 stars!

Wanted lunch at 3:30, usually when most restaurants are shut until early evening. La Santa was open, serving food and willing to host our last minute booking. The Linguine Vongole, ordered off menu, was absolutely incredible. Perfectly cooked pasta, a white wine sauce with a real taste of the sea, and plenty of already shelled clams. All I can think about is going back to have it again. Service was fast and friendly, helping with anything we needed. 10/10.

A nice location (we stayed at the yetasa to admire the sunset) with very friendly staff. The food was up to the recommendations (the best restaurant in the area). I highly recommend it.

Great experience! We arrived very last minute without reserving and we didn’t have high hopes, but they organized a table for us next to the water, beautiful view and great service. The waitresses worked very hard, even though it was super busy they stayed nice and polite. Would definitely recommend!

Great place in Santa Caterina! Food was really good, the best we had in Puglia so far! Super tasteful pasta dishes with fish, great desserts and amazing service

Great service and excellent food at the restaurant and rooftop Remember to make reservations

Food was excellent, location is magic and Michele was very sweet and professional

Amazing service from Alessandro, very professional and attentive. The food was fresh and tasty. I had the best spaghetti alle cozze ever, the best of the past 15 years the be honest. If you are an authentic food lover, you have to stop here!

First and foremost the service and atmosphere from the second we arrived was fantastic. All waiters had a great ability to speak in English too meaning we could easy communicate any needs throughout our dinner. However, the real superstar was the fresh fish. From staters to mains, everything was fresh, nicely plated and very tasty. Many thanks to the team, especially Alessandro, who’s humour elevated event further what was a great evening. Could not recommend any more, 10/10.

Best seafood around. Everything was super fresh. The owner fishes for the menu daily. Was blown away by the quality. Very friendly service and staff very knowledgeable about the menu including wines. Can’t wait to go back

Booked a table, when we arrived they gave it away and tried to use a pitiful excuse. It was a Friday night, ruined dinner for the group!

Pescheria Paglialunga I really want to like this place because the food really is good. The service, however, is a shambles. And I mean that in a bad way. Not the Fawlty Towers charming incompetence but rather in its arrogance. We’ve been twice, and on both occasions they’ve not had the specific pasta they serve with a couple of their dishes (no pacccheri with the tuna and no calamarata with the frutti di mare). Instead we we’re offered spaghetti or linguine. I chose linguine and my other, the spaghetti. Their response? Go with the same pasta because they can make it more quickly. Not unreasonable, except he tried to tell us that spaghetti and linguine are the same thing (hint; they are not). On a second visit a week later with the in-laws (because the food really is good) they only had two dishes available out of the whole menu. And when we asked for some fries with some ketchup(admittedly not on the menu) for my five year old niece, the response was a level of arrogance rarely experienced in all my years working within the hospitality business; basically saying “we shouldn’t even be doing French fries so don’t even ask for ketchup”, then promised to bring some and never did). If you don’t mind tolerating the attitude, you will eat well. Just manage your expectations; some of the menu will inevitably be unavailable.

Couldn't ask more! Great location, fresh seafood and spot on customer service. Also...wide choice of wine, wisely matched by the staff based on my order! Looking forward to my next visit!

This was my first time in this amazing restaurant. Food was just perfect. We were 8 of us and we couldn't stop saying how good it was. A Must go place!

I’ve been in Nardo for a year, and this is definitely the best pizza I’ve found.

If you're ever in Nardò you must try it. The pizza is superb, stuff is super friendly and the beers and wine is local. A definite must

Oh boy. ... quiet side street, such nice food, good price and nice atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Canned toppings on a barely mediocre pizza and sour beer. Not worthy of the high score.

Bienn

Top

(Translated by Google) Very good pizzas. We will come back to try other dishes on the menu. Very nice courtyard. (Original) Mycket goda pizzor. Vi kommer tillbaka för att pröva övriga rätter på menyn. Mycket trevlig innergård.

We celebrated a special birthday at Il MIGNANO – Germogli, and it was truly unforgettable. Everything was perfect – the food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. But the highlight was definitely the rooftop terrace at sunset – absolutely magical. The atmosphere, the view, and the warm service made it a night to remember. Highly recommended for a romantic dinner or any special occasion in Nardò. 🌅🍷✨

Beautiful, elegant buildings (this is a smaller subsidiary of the main hotel a few mins walk away). This building has the well-reviewed restaurant (didn’t get chance to eat at) and an amazing roof terrace. We had a 3-night stay here for a wedding in a junior suite. The room was very spacious with high ceilings and lovely furnishings, as well as an impressive communal lounge area. On these factors it would be 5*, but the bathroom didn’t do the room justice and breakfast at the main hotel building was only average - small selection for a continental-style. A pleasant but not amazing stay

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — the sushi was fresh and perfectly prepared, and both the fish and meat dishes were full of flavor. A special thank you to Mirko, who made our evening even better with his fantastic service. We will definitely be coming back!

Last evening we found this lovely restaurant in the heart of the old town of Nardo. We wanted only an end of the evening drink and they graciously welcomed us. The terrace table was perfect and the servers were amazing. We ordered from a bar menu - two drinks that were listed at 5 euros each. Our servers delivered the drinks and a small dish with a few chocolates. This was all such a delightful experience until we received the bill. The total was $27 Euros. The drinks were listed at 9 each and a cover for 7 and dolce at 4. After questioning the bill we were told the menu we ordered from was last years menu. They presented us with a discount on the drinks and we accepted the high cover charge but still feel a charge for a dolce that was not ordered was not ok. Sadly, a lovely experience turned not so good. A dinner option for the next evening was quickly removed as a possibility.

The best restaurant in Nardò. This place is Italian romance with a modern twist. Try any of their pastas. Their tiramisu is phenomenal. You truly can’t go wrong. While the food and service are best in class, what sets Ristorante il Mignano apart is its heart. The owner came out at the end of the night and spoke with us for 10 minutes. He told us the story of the Italian grandmother who lives across the street and the cake they made her for her birthday the night before. We talked about the origin of the restaurant and the role it plays in the community. This is such a special place. If you want to know Italy on a deeper level, come here.

A total surprise, we found this restaurant entrance snooping around town and fell in love with the vibes. The quality of the food and service was exceptional and kept on giving from entree to dessert. Highly recommended both the courtyard at the entrance and the terrace above.

Fantastic food, location and staff. We loved it so much we actually cam back four times. Hands down the best restaurant in Puglia and we tried many. I believe there is a new chef 10 stars!

The steak was perfectly cooked — tender, juicy, and full of flavor, exactly how a good cut should be. The Parmesan added a rich, savory touch that elevated the dish without overpowering it. For dessert, the pistachio and chocolate cheesecake was outstanding: creamy, smooth, with the right balance between nutty and sweet. A meal that felt both indulgent and well-crafted.

The appetizer options are all excellent! The cacio e pepe was also tasty and a good portion size. Good music, friendly service.

Delicious! We shared tuna tartare and had our own melanzane. That pistachio cheesecake is utterly amazing! Location is also very charming.

great italian restaurant with beautiful atmosfere in the middle of the square. food was great and tasty, except tartar was under seasoned. staff was lovely, very polite, prices are averege. i highly recomend it

Excellent informal place on beautiful Nardo central square for dinner or drinks.

Appetizers were tasty, but meatballs were tiny and the eggplant parmigiana was overcooked to being dried out and difficult to cut. My first choice for my main course was not available even though it was on their menu and board. Then when my pasta with polpo came…where was the polpo? Ity bity pieces in the yellow sauce….which wasn’t great. Even our bottled water was room temperature? Really…try harder.

Food was delightful, tagliata and the burrata was amazing!! Will be coming most definitely!!

Among the best pizzas i have eaten. Prices are absolutely reasonable and the people are very nice. We came twice and loved it. Absolutely recommend to go and enjoy a pizza. Thank you!!

Very priceworthy and one of the best pizzas I had in my life (pizza etna). Service is friendly and quick. Can highly recommend this place.

Great pizzas and beers! On the overall an extremely pleasant dinner

Very good place, tastes good. Is good. Love it.

The best pizza I Hebe every eat. It's magic place.

Very good pizza and nice staff

Super pizze!!! Very very good!!! TOP

(Translated by Google) Place found by pure chance, but it was a discovery. Everything is excellent, from the fried appetizers prepared by the mother to the perfectly cooked meat, and don't miss the very special crepes with Nutella. We shouldn't forget the welcome from Lucio the manager who made us feel at home and as if we had known each other all our lives (Original) Posto trovato per puro caso, ma è stata una scoperta. Tutto eccellente dai stuzzichini fritti preparati dalla mamma alla carne cotta a puntino, da non perdere una crepes molto particolare alla nutella. Non va tralasciare l'accoglienza di Lucio il gestore che ci ha fatti sentire a casa e come se ci conoscessimo da una vita

(Translated by Google) Excellent fried starter (potatoes, meat and chips), handcrafted by the owners. We heard three pizzas: - Ecstasy - Turnip greens (with addition of spicy salami) - Albina All excellent! Only the turnip top was slightly burnt underneath. Fair prices👌🏻 The owner is friendly and we chatted about Bologna (we are from Bologna) to ease the (short) wait for the pizzas... and it worked perfectly. We had dinner on the internal terrace, which is illuminated. In case of rain it can still be covered and also has air conditioning (Original) Antipasto di fritti (patate, carne e patatine) ottimo, preparato artigianalmente dai proprietari. Abbiamo sentito tre pizze: - Extasi - Cime di rapa (con aggiunta di salame piccante) - Albina Tutte ottime! Solo la cima di rapa era leggermente bruciata sotto. Prezzi giusti👌🏻 Il proprietario è gentile e abbiamo chiacchierato di Bologna (noi siamo bolognesi) per alleggerire l'attesa (breve) delle pizze.. e ha funzionato perfettamente. Abbiamo cenato sulla terrazza interna, che è illuminata. In caso di pioggia può essere comunque coperta e ha anche il condizionatore
