"Probably the best restaurant I’ve been to across the world in 2025. Living in Dubai, a very demanding and service-driven city, both the food and the service are beyond words. The quality of the produce, the perfect cooking of pasta, of pork, and beef, the freshness of the fish…. The owner is so nice, kinda welcoming, warm, such a beautiful smile. She shared her passion with us and we had an unforgettable experience with really made up for the rest of our trip in Puglia which wasn’t that great. Thank you so much and BIG BIG recommendation for Petra ristorante in Castrignano"
