L'Orecchietta - Enogastronomia

If you're visiting any of the Salentino nearby wineries, this spot is a great place to take a break and grab a bite. It’s not exactly a restaurant, but more of a cantine, where you choose from a selection of freshly prepared seasonal dishes. The options vary from lasagna and different types of pasta to croquettes, vegetables, and focaccia. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to explain the dishes and even recommend options based on your preferences. The only downside is that the pasta dishes may have been cooked a while earlier, so they’re not always perfectly al dente. If you’re as particular as I am about pasta texture, you might want to ask the staff to wait for a fresh batch and get your dish as soon as it comes out of the kitchen. One of the highlights of this place is the beautiful outdoor terrace—perfect for enjoying a meal on a lovely spring day ☀️

The food, the staff, the service are impeccable! Great wine selections too! The homemade fresh orecchiette is amazing! (bought 1 kg of em) Locals come and buy lunch here so you can be sure that this is a gem and won't go wrong.

Delicious selection of food from the counter to eat here or for take-away. Nice location to sit outside and very friendly staff! No wonder it’s even busy in offseason…

we drove 1h to get here and it was well worthy! Everything was perfect, from the salads to main dishes, and the wine selection is also amazing. We were warmly received by everyone. Highly recommended!

We have travelled from Naples to Puglia stopping off in a number of places and sampled the food. Of all of stops this is the best. There is a place in Florence called Mario’s which is one of our favourite places to eat in the world. This place has joined Mario’s as joint top. I could return every day of the week and eat something different and cost €20 for two including wine

Head to this place!! Full of warm people who love to create good food. Everything was fresh and delicious! We had an amazing meal that was simple and easy.

Mino and his sympatic family are just amazing! The food, the wine, the atmosphere, the friendliness- we are in awe! One word: AMAZING

An unexpected delight! Great food and service! Just stopped there for a quick bite, and it turned out to be a highlight!
