The restaurant itself is beautiful, if you are lucky enough to sit on the “cave” side. The atmosphere is nice and it is wonderfully decorated. The service was fine, we were greeted and rushed to order. We ordered one appetizer to share and two main dishes, all unfortunately came at the same time despite asking for two courses, so the main courses were eaten cold. The best part of the meal was the roasted potatoes that came with the lamb chops. The whole meal felt rushed, we were out in under one hour. I finished my glass of wine and no one asked if we wanted any refills. The food was good, nothing to complain about but not at all outstanding, was in general just okay. The experience was “cool” to eat in a cave and that kind of environment but otherwise I wouldn’t recommend.

Very busy and popular place , definitely make a reservation in advance .  The service is excellent , restaurant is build into a cave with nice decor and has a very cozy ambiance.  Both the pasta we tried  were  perfect ,I especially Recomended the pasta carbonara with truffle ( it has no guanciale which I find too salty and strong flavored) . Baked eggplant and grilled octopus was also excellent

Food was good. One of our plates had a toothpick. They told us that is the way the meat is rolled - which is fine - but it would be good to advise the costumers because my friend almost choked. Pasta nice.  Service was OK, they dont seem to care much if I could say.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, and the staff was amazing. But best of all when you go to a restaurant is the food which was so tasteful! I would really recommend it to friends and family.

Actually, a review like this should be about the restaurant, the cuisine, the place and the staff. But the feeling that remains is about something else. Priority still: the food first. Good selection in the menue, very tasty and skilfully prepared and arranged.

Now the other thing. We were here because it was warmly recommended by our kids from their first holiday in Italy on their own. The reservation and communication felt like asking for an appointment with the authorities only to be asked again later via WhatsApp if you really want to come. When we arrived, we were confronted by a shop of loud and tipsy ladies who arrogantly besieged the entrance... Attitude, we were there.  The restaurant was empty except for three tables and 2 waiters who took care of the dirty tables. One asked what do you want, rude. I have a reservation. Answer: Are you sure? He switches to English. With an impatient look on his face, we are being sampled. After a back and forth, he looks anyway and finds our name. OK yes, but not in this room, but downstairs, go out and take the next entrance on the left. A little snubbed, we leave the restaurant and find ourselves in a cosier, less stylish room, where the staff also seem several degrees friendlier. Here, too, there are only tourists - something we have never encountered on our previous tour of Apulia, which lasted several weeks. Unfortunately, the focus here is also noticeably less on the food and more on showing off: we've been here and now let's see how you can please us. I wouldn't be the most motivated waiter with guests like that neither.
