Osteria Bell'Italia

Restaurants Ostuni, Puglia

In the heart of the Historic Center of Cisternino in Valle d'Itria.

The Overview

In the heart of the Historic Center of Cisternino in Valle d'Itria. Place of flavors in movement, where the alternation of the seasons arouses new emotions! The Historic Center of Cisternino is an architectural masterpiece of significant historical and cultural interest, of medieval origin.

In this climate so full of fantastic realities and suggestive places that you can find the perfect harmony of flavors, with the Osteria Bell'Italia, where the tradition of local products is combined with the elegance of refined cuisine. A revisited Italian cuisine, tending towards the creative.

The environment is unique, elegant, romantic and refined, where service and professionalism are the characteristics that have always distinguished it. A suggestive environment for its position, and fascinating for its structure and its design, simple and modern, relaxing, cared for and welcoming.

The ingredients are among the best, and each dish is prepared with simplicity and with the use of fragrant Mediterranean aromas. The flavors come from the combination, never exasperated but simply exalted, of typical local products with refined products.

The Osteria Bell'Italia was born to become the reference point for the "Lovers of the Dolce Vita". The menu is rich and varied, with a wide range of appetizers. Dishes carefully executed; from risotto to fresh pasta, from fish to first choice meats, accompanied by excellent side dishes.

Among the home-made specialties of the house we should mention the orecchiette with donkey ragout with chops, the aubergine parmigiana with buffalo mozzarella, and the broad bean puree accompanied by seasonal vegetables.

Among the excellent revisited dishes are the maccheroni "al ferretto" of flour Senatore Cappelli with aubergines, buffalo mozzarella and fresh tomato, lasagnetta with scorpion fish and chickpea hummus, semolina and potato gnocchi "sea food", and lamb braised in the oven, served on a bed of beans and artichoke puree. Excellent selection of meats and cheeses.

The strong point is the unique dishes, such as the delicate fresh tuna tartare, and the delicious shrimp salad, scampi, walnuts, apples and avocados.
Do not forget the desserts, like the Chef's Chocolat Soufflè, served with wild berries, the innovative revisited Tiramisù, in a fresh version (made at the moment), the "ancient" cream, and the wild berry cheese cake .

The Osteria Bell'Italia also has an excellent Wine Cellar, with very careful selection of labels, from local and regional, to Italian and International (then from small producers to the big classic names). There is also a rich selection of grappa and spirits, and a wide selection of Champagne and sparkling wines.
