Ristorante Da Gino - Ceglie Messapica, Province of Brindisi

A small Pulgian restaurant, few of which remain. Typical local dishes made with local ingredients. Not a restaurant like the one in Ostuni. Dishes you rarely find anywhere else, such as rabbit and lamb dishes, but also veal and lamb brains, deliciously prepared. For me, the best restaurant in the area.

This restaurant is located on the way out Celia Massapequa, ample parking within the restaurant lot. Food is fantastic and the service is attentive. Classic local specialties, good wine section.

From the initial email booking (in English - perfect communications), through to hosting our arrival, serving drinks and taking our order everything was absolutely perfect.

The mixed platter starter was absolutely to be tasted to be believed. We've never had such an array of food laid before us - from the prickly pear in a tempura batter to the mini breaded wheat balls - all truly fabulous.

The staff were attentive, but not to the point of distraction, and looked after our every need.

Our son, 10, said the tomato pasta was the best he'd ever eaten, anywhere.

Ambience was wonderful, and clearly from its popularity booking is probably advised!

We will definitely be returning. The best dinner out we've ever had.

Fantastic little restaurant who were happy to see us when we turned up at 2.30 on a Monday lunchtime in mid October and served up a great meal of fresh pasta and beautifully cooked lamb shank

Visited the restaurant on a very cold Saturday night. I had booked a table which was very kindly reserved for me close to the open wood fire which is in the centre of the restaurant. A warm welcome from the host, Gino.

The restaurant had a very warm atmosphere and is decorated with with beautiful fixtures and fittings, some recycled from local artefacts.

We ate the antipasti which were a bit different from the normal offerings, comprising largely of local products accompanied, by sauces and cheeses. There were some very interesting dishes including deep fried leaves, which were excellent.

Didn’t have room for a prima or seconda piatta, so finished with some ice cream and local biscuits. With a bottle of wine the bill was under €40 which was excellent value for money in my opinion.

I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Great atmosphere! Beautiful restaurant with rustic decoration, we had a table next to the fire place which made it very unique.
Great service and amazing food! Just perfect!
