I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliese in Puglia

08/08/2025: Authentic, traditional food, plentiful... even too much, so much so that four people couldn't finish it. Very nice place, far from the touristy taverns around the sanctuary. Very fast service, with a very welcome gift at the end of the meal.

29/07/2025: The food is good, the staff isn't particularly welcoming, and the value for money is good. Meo: There's no paper menu, and it was impossible to find out the ingredients for a dessert... Strange!

24/07/2025: I'm speechless about the flavor of these orecchiette with tomato sauce and bread meatballs. A delicacy to savor with the aromas of Puglia.

17/07/2025: The food is delicious, just like home, the hospitality and kindness combined with the professionalism make it a place to definitely recommend.

23/07/2025: This osteria is a little gem in the historic center of Bitritto. A quiet and welcoming atmosphere. We went there on Sunday for lunch and had a divine meal, from appetizers to dessert. Franca's cooking was superb; the orecchiette with ragù and braciola were exquisite. Manola was very friendly and exceptionally kind. Thank you for everything, and see you soon! ❤️☺️

30/06/2025: Delicious, on the advice of the owner I ate a fabulous primo

17/08/2025: Thank you Giusy and your team for a fantastic night. We booked out the restaurant for the night and it was fabulous. The food sensational, the atmosphere brilliant and the service professional and friendly.

16/08/2025: Horrible experience. Started good but ended with a disaster. We waited 40 mimutes for an Aperol and about an hour for our food. The lasta was very small and my entracot was very bery chewy. Cloud not eat it. They did not charge the Aperol in the end but the overall experience was very bad.

21/04/2025: Found by chance on Google and booked for Easter, I must say that we were really happy both with regards to the excellent quality food and the welcome received from the staff. The idea of ​​having staff with various difficulties work is excellent, it's just a shame that the region never allocates these initiatives. As for the price well above my expectations. We will definitely be returning this summer

29/07/2025: The service at this place is unbelievable....world standard

28/07/2025: Muy buena la comida pero al principio no nos atendían cuando no había tanta gente ten el restaurante, malas caras a cada pregunta y poca simpatía

31/08/2025: Catastrophic. A real tourist trap. Tasteless dishes, a watery salad, ridiculous cheese portions, 50g burrata for 7 euros, excluding services at 3 euros/person. And when I reported it, I was assaulted by the cashier. Unacceptable behavior and welcome. We went to eat again with the children who were still hungry after this restaurant.

30/08/2025: Great place, excellent service, very tasty food, good atmosphere, fair prices and an excellent experience

13/07/2025: Three of us had lunch at this restaurant based on a recommendation from locals. We can say we had a great time. The location is small but charming. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Fresh pasta dishes typical of the Salento tradition. The portions were adequate. The quality food was further enhanced by the skill of the chef, who evoked emotions in me that I had forgotten. Prices were average. I recommend it.

13/07/2025: A small gem in the heart of Lecce, distinctive with its vaulted ceilings and stone walls, meticulously crafted decor, and authentic flavors. The meat is also delicious. I recommend booking to be sure, as the place isn't large.

13/06/2025: Beautiful, well-kept and very clean place, exquisite dishes and friendly and nice staff, the owner is a polite and kind person, excellent food. I highly recommend it.

10/06/2025: Very kind and well-prepared people. Excellent food

29/08/2025: I went for dinner as a couple. We had a table on the terrace; it was a fairly breezy but pleasant evening. The service was excellent, and the dishes were well-received. We had a starter of ricotta-filled ravioli with ragù sauce. (See photo) For main courses, we had brasciole with tomato sauce and breadcrumbs, and lamb with cacio e pepe sauce, baked potato, and chicory (a little too bitter). (See photo) We had two glasses of local red wine, which were very good. Quite reasonable value for money. Recommended!

24/08/2025: An average restaurant, typical of a tourist spot. The menu offers very little variety, with the usual standard tourist fare. The flavors are overall decent, but nothing memorable. In the evening, the atmosphere can be quite noisy and chaotic, partly due to the confusion among the waiters. We ordered stuffed eggplant for an appetizer and orecchiette with turnip greens for a main course: both were good, but the price was decidedly unjustified.

26/08/2025: As the years pass, Osteria della Divina Provvidenza remains a trusted favorite. In the jungle of Lecce's restaurants, some of which are overly formal but lacking in substance, this restaurant remains the pinnacle of food, ensuring quality and satisfying a wide range of tastes with an interesting variety of dishes. The service is always attentive, professional, pleasant, and discreet. The atmosphere is relaxing and quiet, thanks to its multiple dining rooms. I highly recommend it.

24/08/2025: We had dinner at this osteria in the quieter streets of Lecce's city center, away from the hustle and bustle. We ate quite well, some dishes very simple, others more delicious. The wait was a bit long, but the service overall was good, as were the prices. If I could make a suggestion, I'd redo the paper menus; they're a bit old and poorly made.

16/08/2025: Terrible experience. The orecchiette were inedible, which is unacceptable in Puglia...everything else was poorly cooked. I didn't like anything.

13/08/2025: Five stars because unfortunately, it can't be given more! The restaurant offers a clear menu, typical Apulian cuisine, the kind that reminds you of home and smells of tradition. We ate divinely, with simple, authentic flavors, starting with the warm welcome appetizer of taralli and bruschetta, made with a few simple, top-quality ingredients. This was followed by a broad bean and chicory purée (usually hard to find elsewhere), which I highly recommend, followed by orecchiette, 'grandma's' (with sauce and bread meatballs), and turnip greens. Everything was expertly cooked, nothing more than the comforting, plentiful, and flavorful food you expect from such a place. Desserts, local wine, and limoncello rounded out a delightful evening. A paltry price for the experience, which, last but not least, was made unforgettable by Mr. Michele, the restaurant's owner. Mr. Michele and all his staff (special mention to his wife in the kitchen and the waiter Mario), with their friendliness, smiles, and enchanting stories, delighted us and capped off an unforgettable dinner. Don't miss this gem. An infinite thank you, and see you soon! Sveva and Matteo (Bigazzi) from Ponsacco
