Trattoria Nonna Lina da Andi In Lesina

Superb dinner, featuring fish and fresh produce. Highly recommended for a dinner featuring local products if you're in the area or even nearby (we were in San Severo for work). Fair prices and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Three words: good, good, good. Discovered by chance, after many years of frequenting Lesina, I stumbled upon this restaurant. Small and welcoming, the staff are extremely kind and helpful. The fish is fresh and perfectly cooked. Superb local products, like the eel and glasswort. Fairly priced. Definitely worth returning.

I went to Nonna Lina with a lovely group of friends. Besides being a delicious dinner, we were served impeccably by Michele and his colleague, whose name I can't remember. The dishes were generous and flavorful, and exceptionally good value. I personally only ate the fish dishes, which were excellent, but those who ate meat dishes were also extremely satisfied. I highly recommend it for a wonderful evening! We had such a great time that we ate here two nights in a row.

Excellent fresh fish and local cuisine

We stopped by chance at this restaurant during our cycling trip in Italy and it is certainly the best place we ate during our entire trip. The dishes were delicious and generous and the service was friendly. Authentic and local cuisine, you have to try the eel which is the specialty of the city. We were even offered anchovies as a starter!! Not to be missed!

The fresh fish is excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is small but welcoming. Easy to reach from the highway exit. Recommended for those heading towards Gargano.

Excellent food and generous portions. I had the orecchiette pasta dish with tuna, cherry tomatoes, and pistachios, which was truly tasty and filled with tuna morsels. The tuna tartare was excellent, and the fried fish was truly delicious and plentiful. Excellent value for money. You can see the love they put into every dish. The only flaw, though made up for by the quality, is the wait between the first and second courses. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We stopped for lunch on the way to Vieste and were very satisfied. The seafood was very good and tasty, with generous portions. Recommended!

If you like seafood, this is the place for you. We shared a plate of Apulian-style mussels (Pepata di Cozze) as a starter between two people. Absolutely delicious! For the main course, we had fritto misto, breaded seafood fried in oil (squid, prawns, anchovies/sardines) with a sea asparagus salad. "Sea asparagus" (samphire) also grows in the salt marshes of the North Sea. It was new to us that you can eat it as a salad or vegetable. It tastes excellent! We had water and a carafe of local white wine with our meal. For dessert, we had homemade lemon sorbetto and coffee. The restaurant is very cozy, the food was excellent, and the prices were reasonable. We deducted one star for the service because upon entering the restaurant (we were the first guests), the gentleman who greeted us was very rude and unfriendly. When asked if there was an additional daily special besides the menu, he became rude and rolled his eyes. That's not something you're used to in Italy. He was obviously a little annoyed and in a bad mood. It happens, but you shouldn't take it out on your guests. After half an hour, he walked back through the restaurant with a broad smile. We still wholeheartedly recommend "Nonna Lina" to all lovers of good Mediterranean food.

The restaurant is located in the center of Lesina, in a secluded corner. We were immediately impressed by the courtesy and friendliness of the staff (especially at checkout, where they were extremely helpful in finding a solution to the small inconvenience we'd encountered) and by the deliciousness of the dishes. Prices were reasonable, but portions were more than generous. Highly recommended.
