About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Romantic

Ostuni has opened its second site in Highgate Village, replicating the beautiful and inspired setting to take you to the heel of Italy, Puglia. With stone from Locorotondo adorning the walls, bar and floor you will find the rustic elegance that reminds us of the most common elements found when travelling the land of sea, sky and stone.
Puglia is a region that represents what Italian food is all about; simplicity and flavour. Imported seafood and cheeses and sunshine-ripened produce at its peak. Ostuni serves the traditional pastas of the region, Puglian seafood specialities and meats such as the Bombette from the charcoal fired Fornello Pugliese.

Started well, with a couple of decent starters and friendly welcome. Meny promises much but delivered poorly. Service went quickly down hill at the night wore on.

Nice local restaurant with good Italian food and wines. Spacious but popular so busy. Prices a bit high, for two we had starters, pasta and one dessert plus 4 glasses of wine and came to £105 which we thought was a bit high and service a bit slow

I had the crab pasta - good except a bit over salty (even for me as I am someone who likes a lot of salt). My husband's octopus pasta was very disappointing. - just seemed to be tomato sauce with almost no octopus in it.
