La Locanta di Antonvito is hands down THE BEST PLACE FOR LUNCH IN MANDURIA. It can be very difficult to find a restaurant that is open between 12 o clock (noon) and 3pm as most restaurants in the area open around dinner time. Antonvito serves fantastic local dishes for lunch. Pasta, meat and many more local Puglia specialties. He is a legend and owns this restaurant since many years. We are coming here since over 10 years and he never failed to impress us with his wonderful creations at wonderful prices, fresh, quality, affordable food and friendly staff. Grazie Antonvito!

You have to look hard to find this great place to eat, there is no visible sign n the street, but its reputation leads you to it. For some genuine southern confort food this is the place. Food just like la Nonna made. The prices are raisonnable and the portions are generous.

Worth a visit at least because of the authentic atmosphere and the dynamic and friendly service by the waitress. Food was ok, we had antipasti and ciciri e tria and ravioloni. Honest prices. But the fact that during the dinner anything can happen at the tables near you is the main reason to dine here.

Amazing local food in a familly tradition restaurant, when you can feel the history of Salento true ambient and tasty dishes. The service is quick, the owner and his crew are very nice, the portions are very big and the price is incredibly small. Congratulations and keep on the good work !

Delicious delicious delicious surprise. My husband and I walked out after a quick glance at the seemingly insipid menu. Boy are we happy we returned! Fresh raw chicories and fennel as a starter. Meat and about 6 different veggie dishes like cauliflower soufflé, broccoli done well, tasty chicory, etc. to continue the meal extravaganza. My husband loved his tripe (Trippa)and me the fava & chicory. Friendly service. Did I mention friendly and packed with all locals, including a birthday party of about 40 people? Novello wine was sweet and not to our taste, but what a fabulous meal and local experience!

Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure! Do not explain some kind of formal menu: ask to be treated as a local and the miracle will start immediately with food flooding your table without you to even think of ordering. Sea fruits, fish, donkey ragu, tripes in a delicious tomato spicy sauce, etc... Only local gastronomy and you travel as you eat. Paradise!
