Domenica decidiamo di pranzare in questo ristorante. Eravamo davvero numerosi, ma la faccenda non ha scoraggiato gli addetti. Il posto si presenta in maniera abbastanza sobria e, per quanto mi riguarda, è già un punto a favore. Tanto per cominciare, abbiamo ordinato un'infinità di antipasti: mozzarelline, prosciutto, baccalà , insalata di mare, frittura di pesce, purea di fave con polipo, calzoncini, crocchette di patate e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Tutto passabile, a parte il polipo (purea di fave) che personalmente ho trovato lievemente duro. Abbiamo proseguito con i primi, consistenti in paccheri con gamberi, e secondi caratterizzati da orate e frittura di pesce. Per quanto concerne le bevande ci siamo buttati su prosecco (ottimo), birre, eccetera. Insomma il cibo è stato nel complesso discreto, ma senza far gridare al miracolo. I camerieri si sono rivelati estremamente operativi e gentili. Peccato solo per l'ossessiva celerità tra una portata e l'altra: ragazzi, dateci almeno il tempo di terminare ciò che abbiamo ordinato! Ad ogni modo, la cosa che ieri mi è sembrata alquanto antipatica, è stata soltanto una: la totale mancanza di menu cartacei. Del resto so perfettamente che quella di cui sopra è una cattiva abitudine che contraddistingue (purtroppo) diversi punti di ristoro...

I rather get the impression that if you're a Palagianellian, then this is the in place to be seen in.Very smart and modern restaurant which looks both clean and orderly, with tables laid attractively whilst being well spaced to avoid crowding. There's an added bonus of a large, and equally appealing, terrace at the front of the restaurant. Everything looks great, and would grace the culinary portfolio of any town.We visited early on a Saturday evening, and things hadn't really got going although there were plenty of staff on standby. Possibly some were brought in for the weekend rush, we thought, as our friendly young waiter carefully poured a carafe of wine over our tablecloth. His next job was to gesticulate at the waitress fast approaching the table with our starters in order to get her to u-turn back to the kitchen for the mortadella which should have been atop our plates of bruschetta, cheese and tomato.Not long after, the main course arrived; sliced pieces of roast pork wrapped round bacon fat resting on a bed of bed of spinach and accompanied by some very al dente (i.e. cold and barely cooked) grilled vegetables. Interesting, naturally salty and not something I'd ever choose again.Having finished, we then experienced a total power cut for 30 minutes. Many readers can probably form a mental picture of a roomful of italians in a power cut - you'd be right! Eventually candles came out and the staff generally wandered round whilst we had a tableful of fast-congealing plates to look at. Eventually, I got our previously forgetful and somewhat dreamy waitress to deal with it.Happily, our dessert of caramel cheesecake was sublime.The Strega has a large pizza menu and does takeaways too. So during the evening, in this lovely restaurant, there was a queue of customers, many of whom looked like they had been digging the garden or mending their car, happily snaking around the room waiting patiently for their pizza order to arrive.So it was an interesting evening. However, it is a truly pleasant place so we went back a few days later. Unlike previously, we went outside on the terrace and got a table with a good view of the whole restaurant inside and out. Our waiter was a little taciturn but very professional and poured our bottle of wine, from a comprehensive wine list, perfectly. Like so many of the locals, we thought we'd try a pizza from the Strega's enormous and creative menu - again, all fine with dough not too thin and plenty of meaty topping. Couldn't resist another go at the caramel cheesecake whilst Mrs EPR tried the tiramisu. Both excellent.Locals love this place, and it's easy to see why. It's certainly got character.

Quando siamo entrati sembrava chiuso, tutto buio, con un signore nella penombra che ci dice che invece il ristorante era aperto. Ci accende le luci, apparecchia e ci prende le ordinazioni. Doveva essere un pasto veloce e così è stato. Panzerotti e orecchiette, finalmente con la ricotta squant, o ricotta forte, ormai difficile a trovarsi nei ristoranti. Porzioni abbondantissime, discreta qualità e prezzi imbattibili. 28 euro in 4, compreso il coperto! Benemerito!

Ritorno di sabato sera in questo locale, all'arrivo, in terrazza all'aperto coperti esauriti, all'interno qualche posto ancora libero. Piccolo antipasto, polipo ad insalata, slegato al gusto, nel complesso buono. Pizze arrivate dopo un'ora abbondante di attesa, a me leggermente cruda e con un bordo soffice ma esageratamente spesso; buono l'impasto e il sapore in generale. La serata non è stata memorabile, soprattutto per il caos in sala (in movimento) e per la notevole quantità di gente a tavola, causa quest'ultima, dei notevoli ritardi del servizio

Siamo stati qui in occasione della giornata di Ferragosto 2019.Location molto caratteristica, immersa nella campagna pugliese tra campi e masserie. Si mangia molto bene, primo con i fiori di zucca ottimo, per non parlare della torta.Purtroppo sono costretto a mettere 3 stelle sia per il servizio davvero troppo lento, considerando che alle ore 16 dovevano ancora essere serviti i primi; sia per l'intrattenimento, all'inizio piacevole ma che poi diventa fastidioso. Musica davvero troppo alta, ci impediva persino di parlare tra di noi.Da migliorare sotto questi aspetti, ma sicuramente una buona location dove passare un pranzo o una cena in famiglia.

This is one of the best place to try fish based italian food in the south of Italy. The place could look like a normal road restaurant from outside, even if his dimensions are quite big, inside is a very nice and comfortable restaurant with more than two different lounge for different occasions. If you are a raw fish lover this is the best place. If they have it they will serve it the best quality, still alive sea food fish and shellfish, if is not available, they will honestly tell you that is not available. They won't give you anything unsafe! About the rest is just special. You can choose from local specialty italian food, meet based to the best italian fish based food. The personnel is very gentle and prepared, they will suggest you the best drink for every choice you make. At the end of story, if I want to eat the best italian food/pasta fish based, or raw fish, this is the place I go! Guarantee.

Smart and tidy restaurant with a good reputation. Easy to park nearby; in fact we were early enough to get right outside the front door. English not really spoken here although our host was very patient and most solicitous.We shared a selection of cheeses to start, which he prepared himself from a range on on display below the bar. A good spectrum from hard to soft to creamy, but not too intrusive to spoil anything later.Plenty of meat courses for mains, so we went for the beef fillet. Our host was most anxious that Mrs EPR should have hers cooked exactly right, hence a rather odd, yet dignified, debate about blood! However, needn't have worried. Cue two perfectly cooked and chunky slabs of fillet steak in a deliciously tasty balsamic sauce with a heap of crispy hand-cooked chips on the side. Perfect.We thought that was good, but it was almost eclipsed by an exquisite dessert; a creamy semi -freddo with amaretto. Beautifully presented and amply sized.As the meat seemed to be priced by weight (I think) I was rather curious about how the bill would pan out. In fact, it was far more reasonable than I had expected so a good evening was had by all!Highly recommended.

Visiting friends who took me there two nights in a row. Both nights were perfect and ever so different. The first night we enjoyed lovely pizzas and local wines. My "smoked" pizza was absolutely delicious, as was the wine. On our second visit, my friends had arranged for us to be served a wide array of "antipasti". Everything was delicious... one dish after the next. The staff was very friendly, attentive and kind. I would love to go back...

Sono stato in questo ristorante diverse volte e devo dire che, forte delle esperienze passate, ho deciso di trascorrere una serata con 5 amici in un posto che speravo fosse ancora una garanzia.In ordine:Antipasti: banali, freddi e risicati, ad esempio, lâinsalata di mare era praticamente un crogiolo di sottâaceti industriali e del pesce neanche una parvenza.I primi: orecchiette funghi e salsiccia distrutti dallâingrediente più strategico, la panna! I secondi: inesistenti.. solo tagliata (e se io avessi voluto un secondo più economico? non si può) che era decente e abbondante. Il conto... a mio avviso, pagare â¬224,50 per antipasti per 6( no frutti di mare, no carpacci, no latticini, no salumi), 5 piatti di orecchiette (un assaggio), un piatto di prosciutto crudo, uno di formaggi, 4 tagliate centrali (non una a testa), 6 birre e mezzo litro di vino della casa, ovvero, â¬38 euro a testa, mi sembra davvero uno sproposito.Mi dispiace, ma sono costretto, per rispetto di altri ristoratori che offrono con la stesso conto, un servizio completamente differente, a non tornarci più.

Via trip advisor found this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised by the very good fish. But our companions had both a steak which was also really good. The English speaking lady was very helpful to translate the fully Italian menu. Greetings from Holland!!!
