"My wife and I recently purchased a hone in the beautiful city of Ostuni, a beautiful city with beautiful streets beautiful people and beautiful food. I made my first trip to Il Posto Affianco about five months ago with a couple of wonderful local friends from this area for what they said was the best pizza in the area, which I’m pleased to say they were right, the crust is perfect, crispy and golden the dough is excellent and the toppings are great quality and everything is seasoned perfectly. Last night, we struggled to find a place to eat, being that it was our last night before leaving our little city for a few months, and we decided to go back here but try something different on the menu. We again were not disappointed this may have been the best meal I have had this summer. We started with a couple of coctails, negroni and spritz both lovely and with our meal a bottle of their Attanasio Primitivo di manduria It's an absolutely perfect wine from a very impressive wine list. Our meal consisted of Crocchette di baccalà or Cod-fish croquettes served on homemade passion fruit cream and crusco sweet pepper. This was lovely, and I had to battle forva bite from my wife. It was a crispy and lovely soft, delicious center accented by the wonderful sauce. Next, the Frittura di calamari or fried calamari with homemade mayo made with capers and cucumber. This was excellent, and the caper cucumber sace was magical. My wife and I shared the Fettuccine dell’ubriacone or Drunken fettuccini, which is fettuccine cooked in red wine and sautéed with sausage and provola cheese and basil. You must get this it was amazing, so amazing that I used my bread to get every bit of the sauce off my plate.My main course was the Spiedo di bombette or skewers of fresh pork meat rolls usually stuffed with cheese salt and pepper, served with grilled eggplant, and mustard a very traditional dish for the area andvexpertly done perfectly seasoned with a crispy exterior and tender and juicy in the center this couldn’t have been made more perfect and I was stuffed from everythingbelse we ate but I ate every last bite of it . My wife had the Tagliata di manzo, or beef steak served with caciocavallo cheese, local rocket. Again, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned rare to medium rare and tender like cutting through butter. Now, the service we were greeted immediately and brought to not the greatest table, but in their defense, we picked it so not their fault. We were quickly greeted by a very nice waiter. Sorry, I didn’t get his name. I should have asked before leaving, but you know who you are. He was great and did a great wine service with a decanter that is a rarity, but he knew what he was doing. It soon began to pour rain, so he grabbed everything he could, saving most importantly our wine and ran us inside to a much better table luckily and then restored everything to normal so that was so nice and so well done. The rest of the staff who also helped with delivering food and clearing the table were excellent as well everything was brought to us in a timely manner hot and perfect and as we left we were warmly thanked for coming from everyone . I really loved this wonderful restaurant nestled in the labyrinth that are the streets of the old Town Ostuni, everything about it my only complaint is now I have to wait till I come back again in a few months . Until then, I will dream of what to get next time and relive my meal in my memories. Thank-you everyone ant Il Posto Affianco!! We will be back!"

Food, service and atmosphere were brilliant! (Apart from the christmas instrumentals in September, which did give us and the other customers something to laugh about Service was absolutely fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable about their wine selections. Staffs are very friendly, thoughtful and accomodating, made us feel extremely comfortable and at home. Food was outstanding and well thought out. Traditional flavours with impressive presentation. We would come back in a heartbeat and would recommend to anyone visiting Ostuni for a fantastic dining experience. Thanks to the crew for the memorable evening!
