"Dopo una ricerca online, a cercare di individuare un posto dove passare pasquetta, magari con la vista mare, ho pensato che visto il cattivo tempo fosse meglio spostarsi nell'entroterra salentino, mi sono affidata alle foto degli utenti e al punteggio delle recensioni google. Ho trovato un'atmosfera accogliente, personale preparato, buon vino e soprattutto cibo con un sapore ben definito, cibo con sapore (cosa che ormai sta diventando rara anche dalle nostre parti). Abbiamo optato per provare tutti gli antipasti della casa, mare con i crudi e terra, in modo da avere una visione di insieme e capire se la prossima volta venirci con tutta la famiglia. Ci ritorneremo!"

"Un’esperienza semplicemente straordinaria. Questo ristorante è uno di quei posti rari in cui tutto sembra funzionare alla perfezione: l’atmosfera è calda ed elegante senza essere mai pretenziosa, il servizio attento ma naturale, e la cucina… semplicemente memorabile. Ogni piatto racconta una storia di ingredienti scelti con cura e lavorati con grande sensibilità. I sapori sono equilibrati, autentici, mai banali. Si percepisce chiaramente la passione della cucina e il rispetto per la materia prima. Il personale riesce a farti sentire accolto con una gentilezza sincera, quella che non si improvvisa. È uno di quei luoghi dove il tempo rallenta e dove una cena diventa davvero un’esperienza. Se esistesse una definizione di ospitalità perfetta, probabilmente somiglierebbe molto a questo ristorante. Ci tornerò senza alcun dubbio, e lo consiglio a chiunque cerchi qualcosa di più di un semplice pasto: qui si vive un piccolo momento di felicità."

"In person the restaurant decor is more pleasing, we sat outside on a balmy night served by a Lindsey Buckingham's lookalike, we love Fleetwood Mac! I ordered a deep Pan langoustine dish that sat in it's own juices with added pasta, it was so delicious I was craving it again the next day. My partner ordered a perfectly cooked fresh Swordfish. We ordered a house white the first visit which was very affordable & quaffable. As we were so impressed we returned a couple of days later to order a smorgasbord of raw fish which we found truly delicious this time accompanied by a delicious bottle of local Verdeca. Appetising and unpretentious, we will most definitely be back!"

"In primis ciò che fa' la differenza, è la cordialità, l'attenzione e la cura delle persone che ci lavorano ed il titolare Giuseppe è esempio di dedizione ed amore per ciò che fa'. Una volta entrati, si avverte quest'energia accogliente che ti avvolge, ti fa' sentire in un luogo amorevole, caldo, rilassante. In secundis, ecco che trionfano i sapori. Viaggi culinari tra la tradizione salentina, l'altissima qualità delle materie prime e la pregiata selezione di vini. Qui puoi trovare tutto ciò che fa' bene, sorrisi, attenzione, cibi divini e nettari di vino ben consigliati. Ogni pietanza è un'appagante promessa mantenuta. Complimenti Giuseppe, a Valentina (vestita di grande gentilezza) e a tutti gli altri ragazzi. Se vi và di lasciarvi scaldare dai loro camini, sappiate che sapranno accendere in voi la gioia."

"Decisamente uno dei miei posti preferiti. Ambiente bello, curato ed accogliente. Pietanze ottime e gustose, ingredienti di alta qualità! Ci vengo con piacere sempre ma quando arriva il periodo dei funghi so' di trovare dei porcini a dir poco favolosi. Il tagliolino fresco ai porcini infatti è una vera delizia!! Così come il tagliolino al tartufo bianco. Anche gli antipasti a base di funghi o altro di stagione, sono una vera delizia. Carne e pesce non mancano , qualità è la parola d'ordine. Servizio impeccabile."

"Dinner here is a real experience. We have been here several times and it is always phenomenal. You are welcomed with a glass of prosecco and then you can choose from the menu, or ask the waiter about their specials. We have not ordered from the menu, but put our trust in the chef to make us delicious and creative food. The porcini menu was our favorite, but the sea tasting was also amazing. The pastas for two are served in a large saute pan and plated at the table (we had the aragosta) and it was perfectly cooked! Dining here is more than just a dinner, it is truly special. Be sure to make a reservation in advance as they are popular! The outdoor garden is beautiful for dining in the warmer months."

"You MUST try the raw fish starter. It is the best thing I have ever tried in my life. They are exceptionally friendly, lovely restaurant, but the food is to die for."
