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.

However, being living in the USA, I can't say it's the best meat, it's a bit too fat for me. I love American steaks and Brazilian churrascarias in the States, and nothing can compare to that. Unfortunately, so far I didn't find great meat in Italy. But, according to Italian standards, it could be the best place in town. P.S. They AC doesn't work very well. When this place is packed, it gets too hot, especially in summer. Bring your fan. Fortunately, you can buy them on every corner in Italy. ;)

Worthy of the positive reviews. Yes really. Try it!…read more The wait was about 30 minutes on Sunday 11 October 2026. I always worry these places will end up being a tourist trap but Zio felt nothing like that. Staff was amazing. The young man that waited on us was so fun and we enjoyed talking to him about our life of travels. We had the caprese salad, asparagus risotto and Orecchiette Cece y Pepe y Tortufa. Everything was so good. Large (very much so) quantities. Great prices. Before your meal you are served crackers and olives. After your meal you are served Lemoncello. We saw outdoors. Lovely patio. Overall great experience!

Especially noted lack of service if you are not native Italian. Openly discriminatory to English, French, Netherlands. I'm not certain why so many people recommend this place. I would recommend so many other incredible places. Our party of four adults felt let down after hearing others reviews. The only foods that were above average was the brasciole sauce, NOT the meat itself, and the spiced potato skins. I give it 2 stars just for being IN Italy.

We are staying at the Grotta Palazzese, which is the highest end hotel of the region with two…read morereputedly fabulous restaurants. However, other than our breakfasts at the hotel, which we paid to have included with our rooms, we are not likely having dinners here. While their menus will astound many, as well as the views of the caves, which is why many come to dine and visit, we have been seeking less extravagant dinners while here, given our suite is over $1,500 a night at the present Euro conversion. So we consulted YELP for the best rated restaurants in town and that led us here. It was all 4 and 5 ratings, save for a single rating of 1, which was based on a disgruntled patron who never even ate here. They just were declined at the door - due to no reservations, which are recommended - in a manner they deemed obnoxious. It's easy to see why so many though rated this a 5. However, we felt it fell just short in some respects that brought it down to a 4. That said, we are sure many will enjoy a 5 experience. We had a few glasses of local primovito by the glass, which like most places we've dined in Puglia was absurdly reasonable by our local NYC metro area standards. These were poured after complimentary glasses of Prosecco and a lovely small potato soup. We ordered the house special antipasto, which were 5 different small seafood dishes (baked scallops, fried cod, mussels with rice, potatoes, and tomatoes, octopus salad, and yellowfin tuna tartare). This is a must have introduction to any meal. My wife then had one of the catches of the day offerings and I the half lobster with tagliatelle. It's an all seafood restaurant, so if you are looking for something other than that, you'll need to look elsewhere. However, if seafood is your thing, of which there is quite a lot in this town, this restaurant deserves your patronage.
