My favorite was the orchiaetta with tomato sauce, simplicity in its most pillowy, smooth, exalted form. Also a special thank you to the chef for making and appearance and our server for showing us the kitchen and wine cellar! This restaurant well deserves its Michelin accreditation!

I loved this place. The food was phenomenal (marked donkey tartare off my food bucket list), our…read morewaiter was lovely, and the atmosphere was classy...minus the screaming baby two tables over that lasted for an hour and a half. Now, I know I might upset some parents, but why would you bring your child here? We had a 9:00 reservation and this kid should NOT have been up let alone at such an expensive place. Their evening was ruined not to mention ours. And they showed absolutely no consideration whatsoever. Heck, they even cooed and played peekaboo like it was normal to do this at a Michelan star restaurant. Kind of hard to enjoy our romantic six course meal with wine pairings when the child was hissing like a raptor from Jurassic Park. My main issue is that we asked the waiter to move us to another room and he said they were on dessert. I don't care. We shouldn't have had to ask in the first place. When you are spending that kind of money ($500) on a MEAL, it is obviously a special occasion and that kid gave me a migraine. My bae even joked that he now knew I'd never have a kid since I was already on the fence and this kid was already ruining the romance in our relationship and it wasn't even ours. (I'm not exaggerating...this child was screaming like a banshee non stop.) I wish we could do the evening over minus the kid because it really was a special place...I'm just furious inconsiderate people ruined it and the restaurant allowed the behavior. At one point we thought we were on a candid camera show.

We were greeted by Owner and toured us around the farm. After that pasta class was performed by Giovanna and allowed us to make one. Fresh mozarella cheese was made The place was so huge and the dining area was so airy. The windows gave natural light to the house. We seated in a big room forty two of us guest. They gave us 4 courses of their dishes with plentiful of red and white wine. Bellisimo The appetizer included fresh mozarella cheese, salami, cheese slices, frittata and more. Second course freshly made pasta with carbonara or tomato sauce so delicious. The simplicity gave it's authenticity of Italian food Third one beef loaf with spinach inside with fresh sautéed potatoes. 4th course was warm apple cake and fresh slice of orange with espresso. We were so full that the walk to go back to the bus played so well for digestion. This was a great Italian experience.

One of the highlights was the incredible value--just 5.50 € for a half-liter of delicious, local red wine. The pizzas were perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients, balancing traditional flavors with a wood-fired crispness. The beautiful setting in Cisternino added to the overall experience, making it a must-visit for anyone in the area. Salute!

The front desk clerk was warm and friendly during check in even though it was 1 AM! The hotel was quiet, clean and just plain wonderful. The beds were a little hard but how does a hotel plan for everyone's preferences?! Anything they lacked in amenities they made up for in hospitality. The restaurant that serves the hotel had exquisite authentic Italian cuisine. I can't say it enough. The food was AMAZING. My husband and I split three courses every night and left uncomfortably full and too full to even try the dessert. This is a must try hotel and restaurant in Cisternino, Italy.

We did…read morenot know it at the time, but masserias (or farms) are a big attraction for visiting the region. No wonder why all the food we had here was fresh and delicious. This masseria boasted some of the oldest olive trees in the world, including one that is over 3000 years old and still producing fruit! Amazing! The tour of the grounds and the old presses was fun and informative. And the best part is that you do get to taste the olive oil from the masseria, and it was delicious. There was one olive oil that was infused with lemon that is great on salads. We wish we had bought more!
