This restaurant is tucked away in a narrow side street and can easily be missed. Rather unprepossessing from the outside but warm and welcoming inside, the tables are set with white tablecloths with "Van Gogh" wicker chairs. The waitress served us immediately with olives and bread. My wife had pasta with sausage, mushrooms and rocket. I had a filleted salt... More

This is a great little cozy restaurant off of one of the winding side streets from the main piazza. There were a couple of tables outside, but we chose to sit inside. It has a nice, romantic feel to it. My wife and I felt right at home. The restaurant was busy, and our server, Sarah, seemed to be covering... More

Cosy,friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the centre of Cisternino. The food is top and also surprising for Puglia because they have their own style,pure and honest kitchen. When you visit this place you will not regret it and as usual Luano and his marvelous team will make you feel at home. Greetings from Belgium Ellen and Yf

Arrived in beautiful downtown cisternino, we chose this restaurant from tripadvisor. Out of the ground circuit of butchers, we have delighted our palates with some dishes, full of flavor, tasty and wholesome. The place very cozy and the staff impeccable. all really excellent

This should really be number one in Cisternino. The attention to detail is noteworthy and the food sublime. Sure, it's more expensive than most eateries in the town but worth every Euro. A must-visit.

Booked a table because I wanted to eat here and wasn't disappointed! Chose a table in the lanes. Staff were unpretentious and welcoming. Bellini to welcome us, really lovely menu, helpful with our children, gorgeous antipasti. Really atmospheric setting, and didn't bother us that people were walking by. We could've sat inside (which was full) but enjoyed being outside. Limoncello... More

A memorable birthday meal sitting outside in the beautiful narrow lanes of Cisternino. Good service, abundant delicious antipasti. Excellent lobster pasta, unexpected and not expensive. Recommended.
