Poesia Restaurant and Bar In Melendugno

First dinner, charming place, excellent food, and super fair wine prices. Beautiful setting and lovely village. We'll be back!

Small, cozy restaurant with excellent food. Everything was truly delicious. We had the mixed fried fish, which was excellent with a very thin layer of fried fish. The seafood salad was perfectly cooked with tender calamari, and the pasta was also excellent.

You eat well and you feel good!

We were there one evening at the end of June, we are a couple of tourists, Ennio and Sonja. We were really satisfied, the food was exquisite and of excellent quality. A big "Bravo" to the owners Marco and Michele who with their friendliness, professionalism and competence gave us a splendid culinary evening!! I recommend everyone to taste the typical dishes of Salento at the POESIA Restaurant in Roca Vecchia LE

Best restaurant in the area, quality food, excellent service

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 A beachfront gem with authentic food and generous portions We discovered Poesia Restaurant almost by chance, and it was one of the best dining experiences of our trip. Located right on the beach, with easy parking and a direct view of the sea, it offers the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal by the Adriatic. We ordered: • Spaghettone allo scoglio with abundant fresh seafood, perfectly cooked and with a delicious sauce. • Grilled fish mix with squid, prawns, swordfish, and tuna, all flavorful and grilled. • And as a starter, smoked swordfish with caramelized onions and honey: an unexpected and spectacular combination. The service was friendly and efficient, and the portions are generous, ideal for sharing. The decor is simple but thoughtful, in white and blue tones that blend in with the sea. An authentic, tasty, and charming place. I would definitely return!

Good food, close to the sea. Plenty of parking

Poesia in San Foca is a simple seaside spot offering good food for the location. I had the crudo di mare for lunch – it was fine, though nothing memorable. The seafood pasta was much better, well-prepared and flavorful. However, the standout dish was the monkfish pasta – perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned. While the place isn’t fancy, the quality of the food is solid. That said, it’s not exactly cheap given its casual setup

Very good food and super friendly staff. We went here for lunch with our one year old son. Also recommended for those with small children!

Exceptionally good! A small gourmet menu, everything is fresh and homemade. Attentive and quality service!
