Restaurants in Brindisi

  1. A

    La Cantina Ti l'Artisti

    An original restaurant, established by a family of artists right across from the cinema. The walls are lined with black-and-white photos and there's a great buzz in here when the place fills up with Brindisi's bohemian crowd which comes for the occasional live music. The food is traditional, with local dishes like taiedda di riso patate e cozze (a dish of rice, potatoes and mussels).

    Trattoria da 'Vito'

    This place is so obvious that you'll probably walk right past it, but that would be a huge mistake. Da 'Vito' serves up the freshest fish in Brindisi in a nice vaulted restaurant. Expect your fish antipasti to be served crudo (raw) and look out for the rare schiuma di mare (literally 'foam of the sea'), a mass of gelatinous baby fish served with lemon, olive oil and pepper.

    Braceria Escosazio

    This place is a carnivore's heaven - a butcher's counter filled with every barbecued meat possible and an enormous grill. The specialities are bolpette (meatballs), gnummeriddu (liver wrapped in goat's intestines) and sausages. Make your selection at the counter and watch them grill it for you.
