I just had a marvelous lunch at one of those places they tell you never to eat in - but I’m glad I trusted my instincts (and the Google reviews!). La Cantina dello Zio is down the block from the flat and I noticed it the first night I arrived. Every time I walk by, there is not one empty table and there’s a line down the block. Yes, the menu is in two languages, but I’ve never walked by and heard any English spoken. Unlike many other Italian restaurants, they serve continuously during the day. So I was able to go at 3 PM for lunch which is my preferred midday meal time. When I sat down, they brought me olives and taralli, which are a savory Pugliese round snack, kind of a cross between a breadstick and a cracker. Taralli come in various flavors and they are made with the delicious local Pugliese olive oil. I ordered a Caprese salad, which was ginormous, followed by a whole grilled orata with a tomato & radicchio salad. These are the lunches I dream of! Simple, clean, and delicious. The entire check was €32.50, including mineral water and a half liter of the local rosé wine. They brought me a complementary limoncello with my change.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Cantina dello Zio, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely superb, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors and beautifully presented dishes. Each bite was a delightful journey, with fresh, high-quality ingredients that truly stood out. The service was equally impressive. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome and well-cared for throughout our meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, enhancing our dining experience even further. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made our visit all the more enjoyable. The attention to detail in both the decor and the overall dining experience was evident, and it added to the charm of the place. I highly recommend La Cantina dello Zio to anyone looking for an outstanding culinary experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, this restaurant is sure to exceed your expectations. I will definitely be returning soon!

We loved our experience at this restaurant. Firstly, it is open all day, unlike 95% of the restaurants in this area, so you can grab a meal whenever you want. That’s a big plus. The food was excellent. We ordered spaghetti aglio e olio, and I asked for it extra spicy, while my friend had octopus with large shrimp. My pasta was delicious and spicy enough, although the waiter provided me with extra chili if I needed it. My friend’s dish was also very good; it was cooked well and nicely seasoned. I was disappointed that we only found this place on the last day of our vacation, as we would have eaten here every day. The prices are reasonable, mostly around 10-16 euros, and the coperto charge is worth it since you get olives and small round grissini instead of just simple bread. House wine was good and only 6€ per 0,5l. It is a price of one glass in most restaurants. Another big plus is the service. It is fast, professional, and welcoming.

We got a table for two in the outdoor area in the early evening without a reservation. We had half a litre of house wine (white wine) and a bottle of mineral water to drink. For antipasti we had a bruschetta and a salad with octopus/calamari. Both antipasti were well-rounded and delicious. The salad could have used a little more salt and pepper (it's a matter of taste). For our main course, we had spaghetti with seafood and orecchiette with seafood (the typical Apulian pasta). The sauce was a dream, the combination of tomatoes and seafood is very appetising. They didn't skimp on the seafood. The restaurant is nicely decorated and makes you feel very comfortable. The staff are also very friendly. You have to adhere to the social custom in Italy, so always wait until you get a table. We were given a limoncello with the bill, which was a little too sweet, but still a very nice gesture.

I never write reviews but this place deserves one. The food was INSANE, i went with my family (just stumbled upon this place had no big expectations) and we ordered a caprese and anorher salad (the balsamic vinegar tasted soo good on it), and then had pastas, they were amaaaazing. We ate orecchiette con cime di rapa, orecchiette con pomodoro, spaghetti with zucchini and shrimps (this was my fav!!) and spaghetti aglio olio (i think it's called sg like this, it was garlic pasta, YUM). Then we finished our meal with tiramisu and espresso. Never have i ever eaten a tiramisu this good in my life (not to be dramatic lmao). Our waitress was also really kind and spoke great English, she gave us 3 extra limoncellos:) So thank you, La Cantina dello Zio for the best last meal we could've asked for during our stay in Italy. It was an unforgattable experience and i hope i can come back one day.

Lo mejor de Cantina dellos Zio ha sido el servicio,la atención de la camarera y la de todos sus compañeros fue excelente, más aún la preferencia que tuvieron con mi madre en consideración a su edad,todos amables,simpáticos y profesionales. En relación a la gastronomía,mi opinión no es tan feliz,las raciones son abundantes, los precios no son altos,pero no todos los platos de pasta están logrados. Cenamos tres veces Día 1: Ravioli de ricotta y espinaca al pomodoro. Tenían poco relleno,ni la salsa ni la pasta son para destacar: 6 puntos. Orecchiette cime di rapa:a la salsa le faltaba fuerza,falta de sal,algo insípida:7 puntos. Tiramisu:cremoso,buen sabor,buena textura: 8 puntos. Costo: Ravioli:12 euros. Orecchiette cime di rapa:10 euros. 1 Tiramisu:4 euros. 1/2 litro de vino rosado de la casa:6 euros. 1/4 litro de vino tinto de la casa: 3 euros. 2 🍴 cubiertos: 4 euros. Total:39 euros. Dia 2: Gnocchi al pesto:fue el peor plato, los gnocchi estaban correctos pero la salsa no. La salsa parece de bote,de sabor artificial, muy lejos del auténtico pesto genoves, ausente la frescura de la albahaca,ausentes los pignoli.Esta salsa industrial arruino la pasta: 4 puntos. Orecchiette Carbonara: Sin ser la mejor Carbonara que he probado, fue el mejor plato, fue la salsa más sabrosa y lograda(aunque no sea guanciale).:8 puntos. Costo: Gnocchi al pesto:10 euros. Orecchiette Carbonara:12 euros. 1 Tiramisu:4 euros. 3/4 de vino de la casa:9 euros. 2 🍴 cubiertos:4 euros. Total:39 euros. Día 3: Lasagna:Ni buena ni mala,servida en una cazuela, estaba algo seca.Relleno y salsa comunes.:6 puntos. Orecchiette Cime di rapa:Volví a insistir con este clásico de la gastronomía pugliese, sentir si esta vez la salsa estaba con más sabor,pero estaba igual,algo sosa,la pasta buena.: 7 puntos. Costo: Lasagna:12 euros. Orecchiette:10 euros. Tiramisu:4 euros. 3/4 vino de la casa:9 euros. 2 🍴 cubiertos: 4 euros. Total:39 euros. Como aperitivo siempre convidan con bruscheta con tomate,aceitunas verdes y Tarelli.Y al finalizar la comida convidan chupitos de limoncello. Todos los platos de pasta son muy abundantes.El Tiramisu también. Estuvimos los días 15,16 y 17 de junio 2024.
