Il Poeta Contadino

Really nice place to eat some local dishes There are two entries, and like to "menus" or "restaurant style". We went to the "osteria" - which was a bit cheaper and with a wider variety of options. We tried bombette, orecchiette, burrata e capocollo, and scamorzine. Everything was super tasty and nice! We were six, each one dish, with two bottles of water, coffee and one bottle of wine - was around 25€ pp. Amazing quality for the price I would definitely recommend going to the osteria area

Amazing restaurant with very good food. They mostly have regional dishes. It’s a perfect opportunity to discover Puglia’s local recipes. The staff is kind and friendly. We didn’t have any problem with the service even though we were a large group.

I had dinner here for my birthday and it was phenomenal! The chocolate and orange cake is to die for and they even put a little candle in it!! The staff were kind and the ambience and decor were quaint. Every course was delicious, though the portions were a bit large and I had to waddle out the door at the end of the night. They also have a good selection of wines! I'd definitely like to come here again!

Ciro was our waiter for the night, we didn’t look at the menu, just asked for recommendations. It was perfect. The restaurant is divided between the a more traditional style food and a gourmet “fancy” side. Ciro recommended us to stay in the traditional one. We started with an appetizer of “Capocollo and burrata”, followed by “Orecchiette di Grano Arso” (which was amazing and a must try from this restaurant), the “Polpettone” and the “Sbriciolata al limone”. Everything was perfect and I am now left debating if we should drive 2h back to eat there again!

Emma was the absolute best waitress to compliment our favorite dinner in Puglia! My husband took our sister and best friend to Alberobello and were fortunate enough to have Emma as our server. We chose to dine in the fine-dining part of the restaurant and it did not disappoint. The food was fantastic, Emma's recommendations for wine were spot on, and it felt like we were eating home with the cozy and beautiful atmosphere. Cannot recommend this spot enough and if she is working be sure to request Emma! Thank you so much for the best night on our weekend trip from Rome!
