The food on its own is one of the best we have had in Italy, but the real gem is its owners Fabrizio and Donatello. Both are incredibly gracious and generous, and express their bright personalities through their food and service. My fiancé and I dinned here and they made our evening and time in Ostuni feel truly special.  We would recommend a reservation to make the most of the experience. The lamb is amazing, and the spaghetti with octopus is probably my favorite coastal dish. Truly impressive how they are able to deliver from both land and sea.

The restaurant itself is located in a romantic cavelike grotto that was apparently a "frantoio" (olive mill) dating back to the 1100s. Simple, seasonal Puglian cuisine, featuring seafood, meats, and cheeses. Dishes changing with the seasons and cooked with elegance. Owner Giuseppe Fabrizio Nacci was there to explain it all and give suggestions. What a nice guy! And what a great dinner experience. All the dishes were standouts; great pasta with calamari, and orecchiette with tomatoes and ham from Martina Franca, but we were in 7th heaven after ordering the slow-cooked lamb-shank as a secondo to split among the 3 of us. It took a while (it was, indeed, tender and slow-cooked) and was just divine. Great Puglian wine-list. If you have only one dinner in old-town Ostuni, I'd strongly recommend this one.

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.

As impressive as the city is, this Osteria is a highly prized culinary jewel in the crown of Italian gastronomical kingdom.

All the local delicacies are found here and my recommendation is the homemade orecchiette and any dish made with the local clams ("vongole"). Special mention to the melanzane (eggplant) which is locally grown and you've probably passed fields of this versatile Puglian vegetable on your drive in. First class service, exceptional food, magnificent scenery! Can't go wrong with any dish here! Ask also for the "vino rossa di casa". Va bene cosi? Ciao. Ch'e vediamo dopo!
