We had a recommendation from Franco our host at a nearby hotel, consequently we popped over and realised that without a booking it was fairly unlikely that we would get a table on a busy Saturday night. Not so, it's not a question of what you know, one mention of Franco's name and we found ourselves sitting in a beautifully presented modern restaurant. Our waiter was able in near perfect English to walk us through the menu and to recommend some specials that were not on it, I think a misused word, exquisite, describes the experience. Although we did hear an American voice in the far distance, this is a locals restaurant where much to our amazement everyone seemed to be eating pizza, but my goodness the choice on the menu is out of this world. As recommendations go, don't think twice, take Franco's recommendation.

A wonderful restaurant that you must visit. We frequently come to the South of Italy and this restaurant stands out as the best we have been to. The staff are really friendly and accommodated our typically fussy children with ease. We had a wonderful array of flavours with good sized portions. The food, wine and service were amazing, we will absolutely go again.

La Strega offered a dining experience that was second to none. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were met with warm Italian hospitality, embodied in our wonderfully helpful and amiable waiter. His fluency in English, paired with his polite and calm demeanor, was refreshingly impressive and added a lot to our dining experience. The menu at La Strega boasted an impressive range of options, and we opted for the pizzas. To say that they were great would be an understatement. They were perfectly cooked, generous in size and packed full of authentic Italian flavor. They were so fulfilling that we didn't even have space for dessert! Aside from the excellent food and service, the ambiance of the restaurant was cosy and comfortable. It was the perfect setting to enjoy a meal after a day of sightseeing. I wholeheartedly recommend La Strega to anyone visiting the area. It's a dining experience that offers not just great food, but an introduction to the warm hospitality that Italy is so famous for. I'm definitely coming back the next time I'm in town!

Outstanding restaurant in Puglia! We have been there several times for dinner and loved the fresh and fabulous dining there. Our waiter Andrea took us on a wonderful tour through the cuisine of apulia with his recommendations. The dishes and the matching wines were absolutely heartwarming and an unforgettable experience.
