We found a parking lot nearby and walked over. It took us a few try, but we ended up where we belonged. Casa Pinto is nestled in the streets and alleys of Locorotondo, so it'll be fun and adventurous to look for especially first timers. The front of the restaurant had quite a few tables fully booked and their pizzas looked delish. We asked to be seated upstairs, so we had to go to the back alley for the stairs. It was more quieter up there, but eventually people started to roll in. We didn't know dinner for Puglians would be so late! The fun starts around 9pm! We ordered a vegetable starter that wasn't to our liking. The marinated eggplants was a bit too vinegar strong and no flavors with the onions. On the other hand, their pizzas were on point! I ordered the Casa Pinto and my friend ordered a Pesto one. It is hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten! I've never been a fan of red sauce, but I guess the Americans butchered it! I loved loved loved my pizza. We both ate half only and brought the rest home for tomorrow's breakfast. It was so good that we came back the next night, but we had it back at the Trullo villa. Love! Grazie Mille!

Having said that, the place is quite unpretentious- the setting is simple, and wine list is short (2 or 3 choices of house wine if I remember correct). If you are lucky enough to come when it's warm and sunny, you can sit outside enjoying the historical view. However, keep in mind they add a 'table cover' charge -in our case it was three euros for two people.

Sadly, we were not impressed with the food. First it is a bit of a hike from the town center, so that start would make expectations greater for a special meal. It started well enough with some tasty bread (served in a paper bag) and olive oil. The bacon-wrapped burrata seemed a featured delicacy, but instead of wow, it was only meh. We each ordered a single plate of a pasta speciality with a glass of local red. The red was surprisingly good for just €5 per glass., but the pasta again were disappointments. My wife's dish (Tortelli Fidelio) was what would be normally termed ravioli, supposedly stuffed with shellfish. We could not tell the kind of shellfish, nor could our waiter explain it due the language barrier, even with the English translation menu. Regardless, it did not impress. My pasta (Orecchiette in a baked clay pot with cheese and minced meat) was the local specialty. While the clay pot came out steaming hot, it was obviously reheated after having been frozen since sometime earlier. Underneath the top layer it was cold. Really? Reheated?? I had to send it back. While it came back to me hot throughout, the bloom was off the rose. We left without a dessert, already dissatisfied with having hiked over a mile from the town center for what was supposedly the best the town had to offer. A taxi ride back to our hotel near the town center was €20. Not money well spent at the restaurant nor the unnecessary extra cost of travel.

Mixed bag…read more Positives: The restaurant was well decorated and clean. My wife's tuna tartar salad was very good, well plated, and a generous portion. The Pinse was perfectly cooked and very tasty. Negatives: We walked in after checking the reviews to-date and the menu. They were moderately busy, but it took nearly 1/2-hour before anyone approached us to even take a drink order. My appetizer was a mixed salad, which was prepared in the prep area right in front of us. I first noticed the container of mixed greens looked wilted and the shaved carrots dried out and shriveled. While it was being prepared, I could see the chef removing pieces of rotten mixed greens. Then, as I started to eat it, I picked out about 10-pieces of rotted greens before I asked for the salad to be taken away. The manager who came over tried explaining that there was no problem because it was a "black salad." My wife and I were both amazed at that attempt! Fortunately there was no argument about the salad being removed from the check. After paying the check in cash, as we continued walking down the street, our waitress chased us down and asked if we paid the bill. We explained that yes, we did, and that the manager both collected the cash and gave us change. My wife and I were both a bit puzzled by the lack of communication.

The pizza itself was delicious, with a thin crust and very fresh local ingredients as toppings. The house red was cheap and yummy. The menu has English translations for everything, but I don't sense they get many tourists. Service was friendly, though required a lot of gesturing as we didn't share a common language.

This place oozes Pugliese charm. Unfortunately these initial impressions were the highlight of our experience. It took us 30 minutes to place our order, then another 45 minutes to see our food. When the food did arrive it was bland and really disappointing (in fact my 13 year old son remarked that it was comparable to the pasta served at his school cafeteria). I've travelled all over Italy, and I've had amazing food of a consistently high quality. I've never been been moved to write a negative review until now. The food was terrible, and the service equally atrocious. I should also mention that the outdoor area is inhabited by an alarming number of feral cats (who wait eagerly wait for food scraps to hit the floor) There are much better places to eat in the area -- please don't eat here
