"Siamo stati in questa braceria a conduzione familiare e fin dal primo istante ci siamo sentiti accolti come a casa. L’atmosfera è calda, genuina, e si percepisce subito la passione con cui la famiglia gestisce il locale. Il servizio è stato impeccabile: attento, cordiale e mai invadente. Ci hanno saputo consigliare con competenza sui tagli di carne e sugli abbinamenti migliori. La vera protagonista, però, è la carne: materie prime di altissima qualità, selezionate con cura e valorizzate da una cottura perfetta alla brace, che esalta i sapori autentici. Anche gli antipasti e i contorni – semplici ma gustosi – raccontano la stessa attenzione per la qualità e la tradizione."

"Tried this place on our first night in Ceglie Messapica and we really liked it! I’m vegan, so there weren’t many options (since they specialise in meat products) but I ordered the grilled vegetables along with the potatoes grilled on coal/ashes + french fries, along with some Ichnusa beers. The vegetables were amazing and I really crave those coal-baked potatoes again. For two people, the entire meal cost around €35 (vegetables x2 baked potatoes x1 french fries x1 assortment of local biscuits x1 beer x2 water x1). The waitress was attentive and friendly. Would come again!"

"Classica braceria dove si sceglie la carne al bancone. Servizio gentile e veloce. Molto buone le bombette e gli straccetti cegliesi. Prezzo molto buono"

"Bella sorpresa, su suggerimento del nostro host, in centro a Ceglie. Hanno una tecnica particolare di cottura in verticale che lascia la carne rossa e tenera. Bombette buone (i bambini si sono gustate quelle dai sapori semplici e noi quelle più condite), la bistecca da 700 gr deliziosa e tenera! Assolutamente da assaggiare gli straccetti con panatura a ricetta segreta. Buone anche le verdure grigliate e la patata cotta sotto la cenere. Il tutto condito da buon vino per un prezzo ragionevole."

"Non lontano dalle solite trattorie turistiche, il Dante delle specialità è una braceria dove poter trovare e assaporare carni pregiate, ottima scelta di carni, tra cui prodotti tipici di ceglie messapica, cotte alla perfezione nel pieno centro storico a due passi da piazza plebiscito. La cortesia del personale è i consigli del proprietario regaleranno una fantastica esperienza di gusto in un contesto decisamente pugliese."
