    Friendly hosts and charming venue. Seemed very authentic and while this would likely be a more…read moreenjoyable experience during a nice, warm, daytime meal seated outdoors to ratchet up the ambiance, we were there in the evening and indoors. 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.

    You'd never know this wonderful home is a public restaurant. Set in a private garden. Simply…read moreelegant. The chef came to our table and recommended our dishes. Everything was simply delicious.

    Where do we start. Cafe Cavour is a marvelous dining experience. Set in an underground ancient…read moreolive mill, the ambience is beautiful and romantic. 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.

    This place was a gem, worthy of accolades and return visits. A family-run (dad, mom, son)…read morerestaurant a few steps from Piazza Della Liberta, the gateway to the old city in Ostuni. 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.
