While you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu- I highly recommend grabbing a sandwich with fresh burrata! You can order online for pick up if you don't want to stand in line but make sure you plan ahead- all the food is made with care. It's also open from 12-12 making it a popular spot for most of the lunch, dinner and late night crowd. Do not miss this on your visit!

The rice and mussels were tasty, however the mussels were tiny. We shared 3 pasta dishes, I really liked the pasta and prawns.

I highly recommend this restaurant.

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.

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.

I'm very pleased he suggested dessert! We loved every bite of it. If you're looking for a nice place to have lunch in Martina Franca, Garibaldi Bistrot is the place!
