The mains were okay and some menu items really stood out. The Antipasti Mortadella in Carrozza was delicious, with cheese melted over the thickly sliced meat. The Dolce Tiramisu Salentino was also amazing—the locally adapted version of a tiramisu, with caramelized almonds instead of ladyfingers. The outdoor seating on the large Piazza in the town center was nice. The service was very attentive and friendly.
Highly recommend eating here! The food was delicious, the servers were friendly and kind, and it’s located in the main square making for a great dining experience.
