A classy cut above other Vieste restaurants, Osteria degli Archi offers innovative spins on established flavours and recipes. Standout dishes include tartare of red tuna and gossamer-light ravioli stuffed with smoked cheese, mint and fennel. Wine bottles lining the stone walls hint at the restaurant's excellent wine list with many Puglian and Salento labels available. Bookings recommended on summer weekends.
