Locale bellissimo! Sembra di stare in una masseria in aperta campagna ,nonostante si resti vicinissimi al centro storico. Dettagli e architettura tradizionale creano un'atmosfera di totale relax. Cibo ottimo! Antipasto da provare! Piatti buonissimi! Alcuni abbondanti, altri un po meno ma comunque soddisfacenti! Complimenti alla cucina ed ai ragazzi del personale di sala! Super presenti e sempre gentili. Tanto apprezzata anche la visita al tavolo, a fine cena, del titolare, Fabiano. Un oste e padrone di casa simpatico ed elegante.
La location è stupenda fuori dalla massa del caos turistico. La cucina di alto livello veramente qualcosa di eccezionale. Consiglio in particolare l'antipasto della casa dove troverete prodotti semplici come la melanzana viola marinata trasformata in qualcosa di speciale e la pannacotta con cupeta e il caramello salato. In questo locale si apprezza il grande e vero lavoro di chi realmente trasforma delle materie prime in qualcosa di eccezionale. Qui non vieni solo per saziarti vieni per scoprire piatti eccezionali nel quale ritrovi gusti del territorio trasformati con arte e amore. Il miglior ristorante della nostra esperienza estiva in Salento.
La location è molto bella ed il personale accogliente. Un ringraziamento speciale a Stefano e Serena che hanno ascoltato le nostre richieste durata della cena. Abbiamo apprezzato molto anche lo chef che si è presentato a tutti i presenti. È stato molto bello poi, chiacchierare con loro e conoscersi, cosa non scontata!
Siamo stati a cena in questo posto meraviglioso! Consiglio in particolare l’antipasto della casa per provare le specialità locali. Personale cortese e accogliente con lo Chef che è uscito a presentarsi durante la cena. Provatelo!
Ho organizzato il 70 compleanno di mia madre a Posto Divino: non avrei potuto fare una scelta migliore! Fabiano e il suo ristorante sono stati un'ottima scoperta! Abbiamo scelto insieme in menu e lo abbiamo adattato alle mie esigenze. Tutto e' stato preparato alla perfezione, dalla sala alla presentazione dei piatti. Il tutto ad un prezzo piú che onesto. Complimenti
Such a wonderful experience. We were staying at a maseria relatively close by and looking for a closeby restaurant that wasn’t in galipolli when we found this gem. The setting is beautiful, the food was delicious and the attention was on point. It was lovely to eat with the locals. Totally worth a visit whether you’re in the area or close enough to make the trip.
Wat een mooie beleving en ambiance! We hebben heerlijk gegeten. De gastheer en chefkok Fabiano kookt op Michelin niveau. Echt een aanrader als je in de buurt bent. En serieus betaalbaar.
The place is very nice, it's in an old palace with a nice garden and the architecture is very well maintained The new management with the chef Fabiano has revitalised the place, adding a nice friendly atmosphere with superb food, to high quality prime ingredients. The menu is somewhat limited but there's always some daily extras which gives more choices. They also do "pinsa" a pizza like dish where the dough is slightly different So it gives an extra choice. And the wine, the choice of wine definitely quite vast and well selected. You will definitely find something to your taste. A must, if you are in the area (or even if you are not)
