Ristorante Il Fienile Ostuni

Il Fienile is a must if you’re keen to just slightly step away from the heat and bustle of Ostuni town centre. The restaurant is situated in a beautiful location amongst olive groves and fruit trees where a nice cooling breeze drifts up while you watch the sunset. The food was fantastic, lots of home grown and local ingredients used to create some superb dishes. There were also a number of specials to choose from which were complimented by some excellent deserts and great wines. The owner was incredibly helpful, friendly and knowledgable just like the rest of the team. A must visit restaurant if you’re anywhere in the region.

We had perhaps our best meal in Puglia here (and we ate a LOT of good food on our trip). The food was outstanding, with traditional Apulian cuisine and quality ingredients. The setting is beautiful - we were sitting on the outdoor patio just on the outskirts of Ostuni - and, if you peak inside, the indoor dining room is just as impressive, with massive walls and a vaulted ceiling. The kitchen, also visible, is spotless and modern. Do not go if you are in a hurry! The meal is served at a very measured pace, so that you can enjoy the food and the conversation with your companions, but the servers are very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Although the restaurant is within walking distance of Ostuni, i recommend driving as the road has no sidewalk. When we mentioned to our hostess that we were going to walk back in the dark or call a taxi, she advised us against both and then drove us back to town herself! Overall one of our best experiences on this trip and a demonstration of the very real hospitality of the Pugliese people!

Wonderful location, set amidst centenary olive trees, from which to admire the beautiful Apulian sunsets. Maria, the owner, is an exquisite person who will know how to make you feel at home. Joyful, always full of advice and available. All dishes are perfect: refined and homemade. The ingredients are of undoubted quality, everything is absolutely tasty. It is without a doubt my favorite restaurant when I come to Ostuni. Not to be missed for the location, the food…and the fantastic owners!
