THE AUTHOR'S CHOICE
Alle due corti(     0832 24 22 23; www.alleduecorti.com; Corte dei Giugni 1; meals € 15-20). For a taste of the sunny Salentina, this elegant yet laid-back restaurant stands out. The menu is classical Puglian with plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and home-made pasta. It really is Mediterranean cooking at its simple best. Don't worry if you don''t understand the menu (written in dialect, not Italian) as the waiter explains everything. And if all else fails, ask for whatever - it's all excellent.
