Trattoria Al Giardino — Restaurant in Diso

From the street I thought I am on the wrong address but there is a nice garden, with nicely laid tables. The owner cooks himself and all is prepared fresh, no convenience food. We enjoyed a mix of fried antipasti. Excellent the fior di zucca with mozzarella and anchovis.

We also had a fantastic polpo in umido (octopus and potatoes stew) and a good mixed fried seafood (fritto misto), perhaps some of the best seafood we had in Salento! Thoroughly...

Compared to what we have been paying for way better food in way more tourist areas - we thought this was also over priced.

Not particularly friendly or attentive. We won’t be recommending this on which is a shame for the small...
