Things to do in Ostuni

  1. Osteria Piazzetta Cattedrale

    This tiny little hostelry serves up magical food. The menu includes plenty of vegetarian options, like frittelle di verdure miste profumate alla menta su salsa de yogurt (vegetable fritter with a yoghurt and mint sauce). The service is attentive, and the atmosphere deeply contented.

  2. Osteria del Tempo Perso

    A sophisticated rustic restaurant in a former bakery, this laid-back place serves great Pugliese food, specialising in roasted meats. To get here, face the cathedral’s south wall and turn right through two archways into Largo Giuseppe Spennati, then follow the signs to the restaurant.

  3. Museo di Cività Preclassiche della Murgia

    The Museo di Cività Preclassiche della Murgia, in the Convento delle Monacelle, is most famous for the 25,000-year-old star of the show: Delia. She was pregnant at the time of her death and her well-preserved skeleton was found in a local cave.

    This restaurant has a wonderful location on the old city wall. Revel in the rolling views from the terrace or relax in the elegant interior while you feast on top-notch local cuisine, with fish and seafood the speciality. Try the prawns from Gallipoli.

  5. Cooperativa Agricola Sololio

    Ostuni is surrounded by olive groves so this is the place to buy some of the region’s DOC ‘Collina di Brindisi’ – either delicate, medium or strong – direct from producers such as Cooperativa Agricola Sololio.
