Since my last review in 2011 I have returned many times and it just gets better. This is real local Italian dining no frills, great food and great house wine and all for a very reasonable price. The staff are caring and attentive, the place has a nice cosy atmosphere and catering for large families appears to be no problem... More

Excellent friendly service and sumptuous food. This place is mostly frequented by Italians... which says a lot. A varied menu to suit all tastes but thier speciality is the Antipasto della Casa.

We visit Alberobello at least twice a year as we have a rental property there. No visit is complete without a visit to Gli Ulivi - it's the only restaurant, in our opinion, that stands out from ther typical tourist joints in town - witnessed by the fact that there are mainly Italians eating here - often in large parties....

In the summer, there are delightful gardens in which to sample traditional Italian fare; in the winter everyone eats in the main restaurant which is decorated by paintings of olive trees. On my most recent visit, in November 2012, the place was almost full of lively, chattering Italians, a good sign. Eat where the locals eat! There were four of... More

Every time I visit Alberobello, I HAVE to have dinner at Gli Ulivi. The first time I went there was 15 years ago and it has never disappointed. The best time of the year to go there, is the summer, as you can sit in the garden. The staff are very friendly, they have my favourite pizza ever (the ciccio... More

We have been to this restaurant about five times and the food has always been good, especially the antipasti. The last time we went with friends we ordered to share the antipasti as we were not especially hungry and it is huge. When the bill came we has been charged for four. When we queried it, they were having none... More

I sat in the garden and enjoyed wine, food all at a great value. Pasta was exceptional! Tiramisu - delicate with a bit of almond

Everything at this restaurant is worth going there: the staff with the service they provide, the fact that there is very few tourists, but mostly local people, the quality of the food and the reasonnable prices. Would go back anytime.

We tried this restaurant after a morning wandering around the Trulli village, upon a recommendation and we were not disappointed ! We had already decided not to have starters, but a bowl of olives and nutty bites along with a basket of bread starved off the hunger pains, then we had bruchetta presented on the house !! I had the... More

This was the first restaurant we visited on our vacation, and came away very impressed. In fact if it had been the only restaurant we visited - would have given it top marks. Very generous antipasto - spaghetti alle vongole, pappardella with porcini mushrooms, pizza and lamb were all excellent. So why not top marks? I gues not quite as... More
