Masseria La Chiusa Delle More

La Chiusa delle More has easily one of the best restaurants in Peschici. During a week-long stay in Peschici (at another hotel), I dined there twice with my parents — and both visits were exceptional. I called ahead to let them know our preferences: fish for the first visit, meat for the second. Rather than offering a traditional menu, the restaurant curated a bespoke dining experience. Each dish was brought to our table with a thoughtful explanation from the waiter, making the experience feel both personal and refined. We also asked for wine pairings on both occasions, and their selections were spot on — elevating the meal to something truly special. The olive oil deserves a special mention — it’s made from olives harvested from the centuries-old trees surrounding the hotel. The flavor was so rich and distinctive that we couldn’t resist buying a 5L canister to take home with us. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Peschici.

Fantastic location with a stunning view on Peschichi. Located in a terrace built way with the restaurant on the top, a swimming Pool in the middle part and parking on the bottom. If you Come through the gate you feel you enter the garden of heaven, between olive trees the path goes. Rooms for 2 or for families are a bit small and families room a bit dangerous on a top floor with a steep stair and no bounderies in the stairway (Chamber 2)

Quite disappointed by the dinner here — we read about it in the NYT and had high hopes but the meal was overpriced and underwhelming: dry fried fish that didn’t seem particularly fresh, the pasta was good but not for 40 euros a person (without drinks). Service was pretentious and cold (we were handed the wine list and told to order wine without knowing what we’d be eating; the waiter wasn’t friendly and didn’t describe each dish, and spent much of the meal looking at our table uncomfortably). Can’t speak for the hotel itself, which seemed lovely, but this was our worst and most expensive meal during a week in Peschici.
