Good for some food, some wine or drinks, and also to socialize and people watch. Has indoor seating as well as outdoor tables. Pretty much anyone going in/out of the old town passes by this place, so its great for people watching. Many locals come for an aperitivo and a chat and socialize with the wait staff. Even the Black labrador from the leather store next door wandered from table to table greeting guests. It's that kind of place. They've got a nice menu of snacks, light meals and street food that do well pretty much any time of the day. Really good wine by the glass list that includes both the varietal type and the alcohol % nicely done. We had a really nice charcuterie board and round-after-round of glasses off their wine list. Service was friendly and casual. But also attentive. It's hard not to like this place. One challenge for us was that the outdoor seating became a real haven for smokers, since everyone (including the wait staff) was smoking. Just know this in advance and sit inside if that's an issue for you.

it is very nice restaurant. The personal is super friendly. That was very nice afternoon there.read more

On the first hot, sunny day our entire trip, we were thrilled we were able to snag an outdoor spot…read moreat this place overlooking the harbor. After walking a very long distance from the new town and getting fully lost in the winding streets of the old town, we just wanted a simple, light lunch with some booze. Ordered a sparkling rose, a beer, bar olives and two different tapas style appetizer samplers typical of the Puglia region. My platter had: crostini with bruschetta, mystery cheese (I never learned what this was!) that tastes like queso fresco with a pickled beet jawn on top, mini eggplant lasagna, a pizza fritta pocket, grilled cheese, meatballs, and buffalo mozzarella. BF's platter had: caprese tomato/mozzarella combo with seasoned olive oil and side of pesto, meatballs, grilled cheese and a quinoa salad. Both platters were fresh and tasty. Perfect portion for a light lunch and a true taste of the region. Perhaps a tad overpriced since it was a bit touristy here, however, I think I preferred this app sampler to that of La Uascezze and I loved that place, so it was worth it. Plus, it was a great way to kill a few hours and look out at the sea.

Wonderful staff, stunning view, inexpensive and great food and drinks. Highly recommended.read more

We travel to Puglia every year, and this time we had some business to do in Foggia, but we arrived…read morelate and the office was closed, so we set out to look for some lunch and stumbled upon this delightful hidden gem! As you walk in, you are in the ground floor wine bar-restaurant. The walls are covered with wine bottles and there are tables to sit at as well as a beautiful bar. But if you are more hungry than thirsty, then take a walk up the gorgeous blue granite stairs to the upstairs restaurant. Shortly after we sat down, the owner and chef, Nicola Russo, joined us at our table. He asked if we had any dietary restrictions and what our wine preferences were. There were no menus! He selects the freshest seasonal ingredients available and then puts together surprises! We were not disappointed! Everything was to die for scrumptious! The presentation of each plate was a work of art - for your eyes and for your stomach! Nicola is a professional sommelier and chef, so I can guarantee you won't be disappointed here! Grazie mille, Nicola, per una giornata splendida! Ci vediamo il prossimo anno! --Jacira e Donato
