We started with the stuffed zucchini, thus far the best we've had in Italy, followed by Pappardelle and Porcini and steak with mushrooms. Dessert was limone sorbetto and crema and caramel, sooo good.

They didn't even seem to care. the place was packed and I'm sure this review isn't even gonna affect them. They have two sections of the restaurant and I guess the Americans go in one section and the Italians go in the other. I would not recommend this place at all There is so much better food in Ostuni and the surrounding towns.

I had the pleasure of discovering "La Taverna della Gelosia" during my business trip to Ostuni…read morewhere I had with me a bike of value. But I want to tell you a story. Before entering this tavern I had tried to eat in the nearby tavern called "osteria del tempo perso" which rejected my request to be able to "park" my bike in their safe space (external stairs) during lunch. After being rejected by the "taverna del tempo perso" I continued to walk for few minutes in the alleys of Ostuni where I discovered the beautiful "Taverna della Gelosia" (Tavern of Jealousy) to which I asked to have lunch and to be able to "park" my bike in their safe space during lunch. The staff was extremely kind in accommodating my request by making available a small space of their cellar room where to park the bike during my lunch. This is the real welcome, typical of Italy and those who know how to manage a restaurant. I had lunch inside the tavern where the rooms were very elegant and extravagant characterized by a private collection of ex voto icons, sacred art. The terraces were very charming from which you could see the valley of olive trees and the sea. Once at the table the service was impeccable, the property very nice with Emilane origins with which I had an interesting conversation about "the name of the tavern". I suggest you ask him so as to know some curiosity about the birth of this restaurant and his name :) The excellent dishes, unique flavors, high-class dishes. Really recommended if you are looking for an exclusive place to eat in Ostuni. I was lucky to accidentally meet this beautiful location.

As impressive as the city is, this Osteria is a highly prized culinary jewel in the crown of Italian gastronomical kingdom. Located near the cathedral, it's a must find place for the culinary explorer. All the local delicacies are found here and my recommendation is the homemade orecchiette and any dish made with the local clams ("vongole"). Special mention to the melanzane (eggplant) which is locally grown and you've probably passed fields of this versatile Puglian vegetable on your drive in. First class service, exceptional food, magnificent scenery! Can't go wrong with any dish here! Ask also for the "vino rossa di casa". Va bene cosi? Ciao. Ch'e vediamo dopo!

We arrived in a Sunday evening and we felt a bit under dressed for the restaurant. The waiter gave us a menu and happily made suggestion for wine. We had a glass or orange based wine and happily made our meal selection. I ordered the Spaghettone with clam and my friend ordered Tagliatelle with veal, pork and lamb ragú. The flavor of my spaghettone was delicious but the pasta was a bit molto al denté...the bite was a bit harder and stiffer than Al denté. It was delicious but I had a slight issue finishing the dish. My friend on the other hand, had a wonderful dish with perfectly Al denté pasta. I would try it again because it could have just been a one off plate.

The Crocker filet with vegetables were to die for and my pasta with shrimp had a sauce that I used bread to wipe my plate clean. And then came our aperitif, vanilla, hazelnut liquor. We felt like we had died and gone to heaven. I can not comprehend that this restaurant does not have a 4.5 or 5 star rating. If you are in Ostuni you have to eat here.
