"Very professional service, beautiful location. The lady serving offered us her own homemade limoncello and chocolate liquor on the house. Pizza was also very good and the fish dishes were superb too. The salmon was very fresh."

"Siamo stati ieri sera un po’ per caso e senza prenotazione, sono riusciti comunque a farci accomodare in pochi minuti. Ambiente molto carino, in un cortile particolarmente curato. Servizio ottimo, sempre disponibili e veloci nonostante la tanta gente presente. Ci si sente in un contesto familiare. Cibo tipico decisamente buono. Prezzo direi nella media, spesi molto volentieri."

"Terrazza all'esterno pittoresca con tavoli ben distanziati. Servizio ben curato e attento. Tempi di attesa giusti . Diciamo non il solito ristorante per turisti. Per non parlare delle portate caratteristiche della buona cucina pugliese! Peccato non poterle assaggiare tutte! E non ultimo bottiglia di vino interessante."

"Bellissimo ristorante con ambiente elegante. Servizio super attento ma non invadente. La cena tutta di prodotti tipici salentini mancano un po' di spinta sui sapori e di condimento.( Ottimo per i patiti di diete ) Per il resto ho mangiato bene, tranquillo, distanza tra i tavolini ottima in terrazza, ognuno ha la sua privacy. Top. Qualità/prezzo buona un antipasto della casa terra/mare,prima di ,secondo di , dessert, vino biologico del territorio 50€/cad , ci voglio ritornare per mangiare la pizza dicono ottima.

"Ci siamo capitati per caso un sabato sera, e siamo stati fortunati a trovare posto. I proprietari gentilissimi, e come il personale, sempre sorridenti. Abbiamo mangiato un abbondante antipasto di polpette al sugo seguito da due strepitosi primi : ravioli con burrata e crema di pistacchio e spaghettoni con salsiccia, porcini e pecorino. Per finire un dessert alle fragole e uno al pistacchio superlativi. Ci torneremo sicuramente, magari d'estate x cenare nel giardino all'aperto."
