A diamond restaurant in a historic spot!
This restaurant was a beautiful surprise while visiting enchanting Puglia. The food was traditional italian with an epicurian perfection to every plate, just like the restaurant itself. A beautiful 150 year old building that has old world charm, yet modern warm invitation. It used to be a leather product making facility. You can feel and almost hear the history of this grand structure. Realllly cool idea and atmosphere. Our waiter Cosimo was very friendly and made us feel at home. I highly recommend the spaghetti alla conceria. OH MY GOD, it was one of the best pastas I've ever had; ever! 'Al dente' to perfection. My friend had the 'Pizza Magda' with canaba which is hemp flour. It actually tasted way better than normal white flour and is obviously healthier. What an excellent option for a pizza choice. I later had the 'filetto di manzo al negro amaro' cooked in negro amaro wine which was the kind of exquisite meat you would find in a luxurious steak house. Incredibly delicious! Everyone was friendly; and both tourists and local families seemed genuinely comfortable and happy to be there. I feel like I found a diamond because the atmosphere, architecture, hospitality and of course the food was so amazing; and especially for those prices! Very inexpensive and affordable. If you visit Lecce, Gallipoli, or any Puglia city, please try this restaurant 'La Conceria' in Galatina! It is excellent quality!!! I'm going again for sure tomorrow before I leave Puglia. Looking forward to trying other dishes and feeling the genuine hospitality of these lovely...
Read moreAmazing experience at La Conceria, where we came for dinner. Most of the seats are in the courtyard, where you can be delighted by the sights of orange and lemon trees decorated with lights at night. The service is very professional and kind. The food is also amazing, we tried their fried meatballs, eggplant and potato croquettes, which came with a delicious mint-flavoured yogurt sauce. The BBQ is also quite good: the parts that we liked the most was the rolled sausage. If you can eat interiors, I highly recommend you try the sheep liver and kidney skewers, rolled inside sheep intestines. An...
Read moreThis is without a doubt the best pizza in the entire region! The setting amidst the lemon trees in the garden or in the front courtyard is welcoming and cozy. Inside the decor looks like something out of Brooklyn with an industrial chic style. Luigi and his sister are the kindest owners and really care about the quality of their food and customer satisfaction. Luigi sat at our table and visited with many of the other guests. The menu is really creative and has tons of innovative kinds of pizza. There is also pasta, salads and other regional dishes. The beer is also outstanding. Highly...
