I can't understand the glowing reviews of this place! Our hotel recommended it to us so we duly went along. It is in a rather quaint setting - you have to go along a series of little alleyways to reach it and it does look enticing when you look down its steep steps into the restaurant. Maybe the experience is... More

Out of the way location with beautiful garden setting plus rooms. We had a large group on a cool night and were seated in a romantic, softly lit chamber. Service was impeccable. Caterina, the owner, explained each of the dishes. We could have stopped after the Antipasti...7 or 8 dishes. The Primi Piatti included a pickled eggplant dish that was... More

On appearance and based on reviews one could be cautious in thinking this is a tourist trap, but we had a great meal with some of the best pasta dishes we ate. The setting under the trees is lovely with a lot of thought and attention to detail put in by the owner, particularly with all the plants and fresh... More

From the moment you look down the steep steps you know you are in for a treat.... Caterina the owner is a wonderful host, explaining the ethos of the restaurant and the delicious dishes that lie ahead.... This is a fantastic restaurant set in the most amazing location, in the summer eat outside on one of the little terraces and... More

We found this oasis on a hot June day, and were drawn down the steps by the vision of shade and cool we could glimpse from the street. Very pleased with our choice - we had a plate of several different Puglian breads and friselle-type things , then a fantastic selection of antipasti - maybe 8 different items, all nicely... More

Grazie Caterina! We had a very good meal at the Taverna della gelosia. Caterina can speak some French that helped us a lot. The location it' s just amazing and the room' s decoration it' really unique.

The setting is in a pretty garden on different levels and with plenty of customers. There the positives ended. Service was without a single smile , waiters just looked bored .The antipasto selection was dire , almost everything was full of cheese and showed neither imagination , nor local quality ingredients . My wife's steak was so tough , impossible... More

We ate here on a Friday evening during a trip to Puglia. We were recommended the restaurant by the owners of the Villa we were staying in and we were happy to give it a go. The restaurant is very pretty, over several levels. Upon arrival we ordered water and wine and with it came some nice little Bruschetta and... More

A group of us ate lunch and sat outside where every thing slopes and the steps to get from one level to another are steep but all of that just added to the atmosphere where we enjoyed multiple courses and especially loved the asparagus tart.

This restaurant was recomended by our hotel. There are two types of Restaurants in Italy, Local where local people go and Tourist Restaurants, that tourists don't know any better. This was somewhere in the middle. The Name is the Tavern of Jealousy in English if you didn't know. The setting is on one of the little side streets of Ostuni,... More
