Vineria Osteria Mieró — Restaurant in Corigliano d'Otranto

Tucked away in a charming alley just a minute from the entrance of the castle in Corigliano d’Otranto, Vineria Osteria Mierò is the perfect spot whether you’re looking for a peaceful evening, a quality dinner, or a cozy place to enjoy a glass of wine before attending an event at the castle.
