Aia Noa - Alezio

We are Dutch,live in Salento and are used to the good Salento cuisine. On a recent little trip to Gallipoli, through Alezio, we stopped at this Osteria-Trattoria. Were we in for a pleasant surprise. One of the owners (Emanuele) welcomed us and let us choose a table.Service was excellent and efficient. but also warm and friendly. When we looked at the menu and the wine list we wondered how the food would be at those low prices: EXCELLENT: We ordered several dishes and enjoyed each one. Emanuele stopped by our table and we chatted about the the restaurant, the service and the quality of the real Salento food served. As we said: We will be back. _____________________

Even if I did not eat there I would like to give my opinion on this restaurant basing on my experience. We did not reserved and when we arrived, me and 2 friends, the waiter told us that in ten minutes our tables would be ready. The waiter was definetely not nice and we wait about 30 minutes before left the restaurant. I understand that there could be some problems but I would like to be noticed about it. 30 minuts without any information is not accettable.

Alezio is only a few miles away from the shiny Gallipoli but you can really feel the difference when it comes to food: the flavours are more genuine and the prices are lower. Aia Noa makes no exception: we've been there in a party of 10 and we had a nice mix of starters (go for the octopus balls) and some great tagliata. Some of us had pasta, too and that's was very good. Local wine is ok but do not expect a super wine... Service is quick and people are very nice, like anywhere else in the region!

Cozy restaurant. qualified and very kind staff. great food! I will definitely go back

Very good price quality ratio. kitchen with real Apulian gouits, really good welcome. I recommend Apulian dishes a unique taste! Thanks great discovery! recommended.
