Had a delightful and delicious meal in a small room adjacent to the terrace. The decor was pleasant and the food was excellent. With a waitress who wanted to make sure we had a great time, we were sure to remember and return to this restaurant. Delightful.

We loved the food and wine! There were many good options but we had the snapper and the sirloin, after we had an appertivo (the club sandwich). Such great flavors. Service was a little slow but was great up until the end. We were trying to pay the bill and asked if we could tip since we enjoyed everything, and our waiter responded &ldquo;we don&rsquo;t do that in Italy, you just pay the bill&rdquo; which we found fairly rude. I&rsquo;ve been to Rome, Milan, and Florence where I&rsquo;ve always been able to tip. So just a note to not assume that guests haven&rsquo;t been elsewhere in Italy/around the world or be standoffish when they&rsquo;re trying to compliment the restaurant.. definitely hurt the vibe a bit.

Food delicious and the staff were very helpful. It was a very hot day and it was lovely to be in the cool cellar. A perfect evening.

Absolutely amazing food, you won&#39;t be disappointed! The octopus is the best we have ever had!  The let down was the toilet, no soap or paper and we had the resavation for just after they opened at 7:30 pm.

What a fantastic place!! Great food and service in relaxed and well put together surroundingsThe place really comes alive after 11pm, really buzzy and fun and all the staff were so friendly, thanks you

Maybe it was our fault of not realising it&rsquo;s more a wine bar than a restaurant! Excellent food but too pricy compared to other excellent Eateries in Puglia. .

It was a great experience. We like the cleverness of the mixture in creating the menu. Massimo was a very nice and a good man. Thank you for everything.

The location, view and entourage was amazing. The  service was perfect. It was a very special evening and we will definitely come back whenever possible!

Beautiful setting on a rooftop facing the Basilica di Santa Croce. Attentive staff but the service was rushed. A starter of octopus was chewy, very oily and unseasoned, whereas the cuttlefish noodles were light and fresh. A primo dish of pasta and prawns was well seasoned but a seaweed garnish felt out of place. Excellent wine. Overall, an average dinner with a very expensive price tag. My recommendation would be to enjoy the view on the terrance with a drink rather than dinner.

Made reservations based on the Fork and this was such a disappointment. Went for lunch and the menu was much more limited than the menu the restaurant shows on their website and what they offered at lunch was fairly boring. We weren&rsquo;t offered a wine list when we sat so we didn&rsquo;t bother to order a bottle, but would have. Service was meh and server seemed flustered with the three small tables he had. Food was salty, the lettuce under my burrata was rotten. Overall a waste of a lunch and don&rsquo;t recommend people go. Look elsewhere.

We had relatively small appetites and ordered the seafood starter for 2 which was lovely.  Knowledgeable and very helpful staff who had an English menu and spoke English

High quality seafood restaurant with a twist-you get to literally choose the seafood you will eat. We had a number of pastas that were all delicious, salmon, frito misto and salads.. We wouldn&rsquo;t order the salads again as they were iceberg lettuce and unripe tomatoes. The wine list is reasonable and so was the pricing of the dinner. The atmosphere is lovely. Would definitely come back again.

Great decor, very intimate setting in a backyard style garden. Classic traditional food cooked very well. Everything you would expect from a Trattoria, with style.
