A quaint restaurant in the Salento village of Specchia, known for its creative Mediterranean cuisine that blends local flavors and Tuscan influences with fresh ingredients and meticulous presentation. The atmosphere is intimate and charming, with an indoor dining room and a garden surrounded by prickly pears. Online reviews frequently praise the mixed antipasti, first courses like the flambéed pasta in a parmesan mold, and well-executed second courses, as well as the friendly and attentive service. Overall, the reviews are very positive, with excellent value for money, although some opinions differ on the texture of some dishes.

A truly special restaurant in the heart of the village of Specchia, perfect for those who love authentic and refined Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. The atmosphere is welcoming and charming, with outdoor seating among prickly pears on summer evenings and a warm and elegant indoor dining room in the winter. The dishes combine Salento flavors with creative touches, with a mix of seafood and meat appetizers, homemade first courses, and beautifully executed second courses, all accompanied by a well-selected wine list. The staff is courteous, attentive, and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for a special dinner in a unique and refined setting.

"I had lunch at La Ficarigna today and was pleasantly surprised. The food was divine: carefully prepared dishes, authentic flavors, and top-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. It was a culinary experience I highly recommend to anyone seeking authentic local cuisine. I'll definitely be back!"

Although the restaurant "La Ficarigna" was once an institution throughout Salento, it also represents the culinary art of our Salento cuisine. I wanted to celebrate my birthday in this paradise because I knew I'd make a great impression. The owner and all the staff were very knowledgeable and kind. The raw materials used were excellent, both in terms of freshness and quality. I can only return every now and then on Sundays for lunch to enjoy other delicacies, despite the considerable distance. Well done everyone, and see you next time. 👏👏👏
