Gli Ulivi - LEVERANO

Fantastic dinner experience . Wonderful terrace where you dine , excellent service at the table, and fantastic food with vegetables from their own garden, exquisite sea food from their family’s fishing boat , and very nice local wines . And this for a very correct price . Just top !

We went for dinner in this restaurant and, as soon as we arrived, we were stunned by the beautiful location in harmony with the century-old monumental olive trees. We came back six times in ten days, which speaks volumes to how delicious the food is. Everything is superb, from the starters to the desserts, and is in religious accordance with the traditional cuisine of Salento. Every dish is carefully explained by the very kind staff, which speaks very good English. Andrea and Alessandro are the kindest and most accomodating hosts ever, while their mother is the main cook and their father supervises with great experience and savoir-faire. We recommend the Antipasto Gli Ulivi , the Carpaccios of Swordfish or Octopus and the delicious Insalata di Mare. Let the staff explain you the several kind of flours from antique grains that they employ in making their pasta by hand, which is the most digerible pasta we ever had. The Sagne al Ragù di Seppia and the Pasta di Riso Venere con Polpo e Funghi Cardoncelli are simply irresistible, so much that we had them several times. The fish of the day is beautifully prepared and served, and the Pezzetti di Cavallo (diced horsemeat) is a real treat. Five stars is an understatement. Keep up the good work!

Located in a quiet and quiet area, you can dine under a nice porch; dishes on average, slightly distracted service, prices a little higher than average.

Beautiful structure, with large rooms both outdoor and indoor, very kind staff, typical Salento cuisine with wide choice both of sea and land, plentiful dishes of excellent cuisine, prices in the norm.

Rude and ambiguous staff, high prices that do not reflect quality. To avoid. Rooms: 1 Service: 1 Place: 1
