Restaurant U Curdunn

Discrete, small, but extraordinary local restaurant, praised by a chef cook that knows it's traditions. A spectacular tour through the cuisine of my own people. This restaurant has shown an excellence in the choice of it's dishes, wines and service, which shines like a star rated restaurant. U'Curdunn is so far, the most exceptional taste I have tasted in Locorotondo and surroundings. If you reserve in time, and you get to sit on this wonderful terrace in the small streets of the old city centre of Locorotondo, you will be gifted with wonderful local plates, like the Pugliese primed anti-pasti, Parmiggiana, Fried Anti-Pasti, and much more. The noodles with truffle were extraordinary. The bone-less meat (Beef), served with a heated iron plancha, to cook your meat to your own preferred "cuisson", was extraordinary tender. 30€ for nearly 400 grams of top quality meat is to me personally, a bargain. Their wine-list is a master-selcted list of local wines. We had the Susimanello Morso Rosso, enriched of taste of blueberry and vanilla, which you would hardly find in any restaurant abroad. Let yourself lead by the service, who will tell you exactly what to choose in respect to your taste. Absolutely try the home made "Amaro Locale di Casa" to digest your meal. Coffee is great. Don't forget to reserve in advance, because you will not get a table as a passer-by. 6 people tried to ask for a table in the short minutes we were waiting for our reserved table at 21:30. Enjoy the show!

Probably the best restaurant in Locorotondo. The customers are greeted with tasty appetizers of fresh vegetables and focaccia. Year after year the staff is friendly and attentive. Food has always been amazing and the wine list offers various options to enjoy.

The restaurant is small and’s have tables on the street, where we had site. We started with the famous Parmeggiana, delicious but I missed the picture. Then we had a pasta with ragu and mix grill, all perfect. To finish e shared a tiramisu with an unforgivable flavor. Definitely, I recommend this place.

Food is delicious and very well presented. Staff is quite friendly (I spoke Italian with them). The setting is just beautiful, we ate outside among the plants and fairy lights, it was a great evening. Prices are fair as the food is of good quality. I give them a 5-star review as they offer a vegetarian menu! Next step: offering also a vegan menu :)

Worth a visit. Located in the heart of the old town of Locorotondo, which is quaint, romantic and pretty the restaurant serves traditional dishes from the area. We ordered the pasta and potato chips. The house red was great as well! The vibe is traditional and everything you would want for this kind of place.

This is the best restaurant in Locorotondo. The staff is great. Was too noisy because of the English groups of tourists. The rabbit was not cooked to our liking. The desert has a great presentation.

An absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment you step inside, you feel the soul of this place — authentic, warm, and deeply rooted in tradition. Every detail reflects care, passion, and respect for true Italian cuisine. The service was exceptional throughout the evening: attentive, elegant, and genuinely kind. You’re made to feel not like a customer, but like a guest in someone’s home. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and head chef, Roberto, and it’s immediately clear that he is a true master of his craft. His understanding of flavour, technique, and tradition is on another level — a real masterclass in cuisine. Every dish tells a story, balancing authenticity with refinement, and you can feel the years of experience and love behind each plate. This is not just a restaurant, it’s an experience — one that celebrates culture, craftsmanship, and heartfelt hospitality. A true gem that I would recommend without hesitation. I will absolutely be back.

U Curdunn is known as the the local dialect for Locorotondo. This restaurant specializes in local cuisine. Don’t be fooled by the 200g notation on the menu, any of the antipasto is enough for two! Strongly recommend the “basket of fresh cheese” and the “Salumi,” we honestly could have stopped there! The staff were interactive and delightful. We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and witnessed them all having dinner together. A hopping place with a great vibe.
