Ristorante La Cantina

We were very happy to get a table at lunchtime, anywhere with a decent rating was full. Our food was tasty but the portion sizes were stingy considering the price. We share an antipasto, the burratina was tiny as described, my pasta was good but again not filling. My husband’s pork was again tasty but the fried potatoes were overpriced. The cover charge of €3.50 each for some very dry bread, which we didn’t eat was excessive. We shared a large bottle of fizzy water, the espressos were €2 for a thimble of coffee. La Cantina is a small restaurant and Alberobello is very touristy but €70 is steep, when you leave hungry.

If you have plenty of time for lunch, this place is fine, food was not bad. But if not, forget it. After we sat down, it took 20 minutes before anyone even came to take our order. Then another 20 minutes for the starter, and another 20 just for a pasta. In total, we waited at least 40 minutes to finally eat, without even having to queue. They really need to hire more staff in the kitchen or for service. Overall, that makes the dining experience a bit disappointing.

Food was really good and fresh. Loved the open kitchen and watching Chef Francesco cooking all of the meals. Love the small cosy restaurant vibe. A must visit in Alberobello.

There are some very good and some stuff which we think needs some improvement😇. We came here to ask for table for 10 people, we understand we need to wait, that was no problem, they told us to come back in 10-20mins. At the end we waited around 40 minutes, maybe even more, before they set us at the table. Food was OK, we ordered some orriechiette with tomato sauce and veal and gorgonzola cheese. I haven't seen piece of veal in my meal. That was 14€. Without cheese this meal is 12€. Primo giorno meal was the best which arrived at our table, that was some delicious veggies. Other meal was lamb skewer, price 16€. It was OK, but depends how lucky you are, one guy got better meat other got more grease. There is also mix skewer and that was OK. We wish they serve regular home made pommes frites instead of chips (6€). Home bianco wine was great and we can recommebd it. At the end dessert tiramisu and cake pasticcioto, thah was 5/5. So place is good, maybe to hype about it.

The food was delicious and the service was also great. There were several people trying to get a table but the place was packed, so I suggest making a reservation just to be sure. 🤞

TOP experience! Will come back one day. Staff is very friendly , food was amazing and authentic! Found it on Osterie d'Italia app.

Best pasta we’ve had in Italy. Interior was so nice and cozy, and the staff were so friendly, add to that the open kitchen and the owner smiling and serving delicious fresh pasta. Would definitely recommend eating here for a lovely experience!

Went to Ristorante La Cantina in Alberobello for lunch without a reservation. They asked us to come back around 2:30, so we did, and ended up waiting about 20 minutes for the staff to clear and set up the tables. It was a slow process since they seemed to spend more time chatting than working. The food was just okay. The orecchiette with ragù was good, but the piece of beef was awful — full of gristle, as you can see in the photos. The potatoes were excellent, though. As for dessert we had the smallest portion of panna cotta I’ve ever seen, honestly kind of funny. Overall, a bit disappointing considering the hype

One of my favorite restaurants in Alberobello, it's small, private, and the food is super local and traditional. I love fava beans, they taste so homey and delicious. It's such a comfort food and this restaurant does this dish really well. They have a nice selection of wine as well, and service is always great. I can't wait to go back when I'm here again for my next visit.

Recommended by my host and driver and well worth it! This quaint little restaurant/kitchen delivered the authentic Italian experience. The food was made fresh and was absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable and the staff were very friendly and welcoming to me as a tourist.

Very small restaurant with outstanding food and service. The open kitchen gives you a view to the magic in progress. A reservation is helpful since there are so few tables.

WOW! This may have been our favorite restaurant on our trip to Puglia. The open kitchen and the fact that the staff all seem to be like family create a beautiful atmosphere. The chef and staff were so kind, squeezing us in when they were fully booked. Each of the five of us was in love with our meals. I particularly loved the unique take on chicory and fava beans. If you're visiting Alberobello, this should be your #1 stop!

5 starts for the cutest establishment! Very homey and lovely. The staff are very friendly and speak great English! Love that they cook in front of you with an open kitchen. Food was traditional and delicious, wish the pasta was a bit more al dente. Highly recommend this sweet spot in puglia!

Great small restaurant in the heart of Alberobello. Would come back if around the area. Definitely recommend the antipasti "Selezione", good for 3 people (or 4, small portions), you get to enjoy many small plates if you can't decide what you like. Pasta is very good as well. 4.5 stars
