I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

27/09/2025: We happened upon it by chance, seeing it was crowded... we stopped... we ate divinely, everything cooked beautifully, to perfection, and with quality ingredients! We went back the next day too 👍🏼 Highly recommended the fried fish, never tasted better! Friendly, kind, clean place, lots of space inside and outside.

11/09/2025: Evening at Claudio and Gianpaolo's always excellent dishes

10/09/2025: A nice place, not exactly the most well-kept and clean, it was primarily designed as an aperitif spot. We stopped for lunch because it was one of the few places open. Since it was originally a bar/aperitif spot, it doesn't offer a very extensive menu, but you can still choose from 4-5 dishes per course. The staff is very attentive, kind, and helpful. There are three steps at the entrance, making it difficult to access with a stroller or wheelchair (but the staff were very kind and helped us carry our stroller into the restaurant). For two appetizers and a first course, we spent just over thirty euros. The option of having water in a jug was greatly appreciated. Vegetarian options are also available. We'll be back.

09/09/2025: Excellent breakfast, friendly staff

09/09/2025: The puccia with mortadella is good and the prices aren't too high.

07/09/2025: Good cocktails, unfriendly staff. The welcome needs rethinking.

11/05/2025: Feel at home immediately! Informal atmosphere with excellent dishes and raw materials

08/04/2025: The appetizers were very good. The assassina left much to be desired because the fresh sauce was added at the last minute, so it wasn't cooked with the pasta. Otherwise, everything was good.

05/09/2025: Fish shop on one side, ready-made food on the other. Very tasty and affordable

10/08/2025: If you want to eat excellent fish or freshly cooked first courses, Pronto Mare is the best choice with Piero Gelao who serves you with a smile and his expertise and his mother ready to satisfy every request!!!!!

30/06/2025: Jox Caffetteria serves excellent coffee. The staff was friendly and everything was fresh and tasty. Perfect spot for a relaxing break!

26/10/2025: It's hard to find a restaurant in Salento where you can eat badly, but I found one. Two things: poor quality and high prices.

24/09/2025: The service was disappointing, the dishes were not well-prepared, and the flavors were nothing special. The prices were high! Highly not recommended!

22/09/2025: A super cute little place with a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes. Delicious, affordable, and authentic!

10/09/2025: This small place at the beginning of the Santa Maria di Leuca seafront can easily go unnoticed; even the first impression is rather simple. However, if you want to satisfy your hunger at a truly affordable price, it's definitely worth stepping in and ordering a slice of crispy pizza or a deliciously stuffed homemade puccia salentina (similar to a stuffed pizza-like bread pocket). The two young men are very kind and even accommodate special requests, such as vegetarian toppings. Also noteworthy was the young man's thoroughness in washing his hands before preparing our puccia and, very kindly, sharing it between my wife and me. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts: we enjoyed this delicacy on the return trip to Otranto! Best regards from us Austrians!

26/09/2025: There's no escaping it: fresh, homemade products are worth buying...good, genuine, simple; pre-processed, industrial ones, especially if poorly reheated in the microwave, are almost inedible. It's a shame to find this gap. You have to know how to choose. Otherwise, they're down-to-earth, in a place that's not exactly aesthetically pleasing, but certainly does a lot of business. With a little more research, it could be even more enjoyable to return. Even when it comes to prices, some are out of line, while others are fair, if only for the quality.

23/09/2025: When your 22-month-old daughter...or everything she's eaten...says it's good...we can't help but come back every time we pass by. Thank you so much... Tecla thanks

16/07/2025: Cena ECCELLENTE . Agriturismo immerso nel verde della campagna sulla litoranea a sud di Otranto. Cibo genuino, del territorio e di qualità ottima. Sapori autentici in piatti presentati davvero bene. Porzioni abbondanti e rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo! Complimenti ai giovani ma già capacissimi ragazzi della cucina e ai gentilissimi titolari. Esperienza da ripetere! Consigliatissimo

15/07/2025: Mi è stato consigliato. Devo dire tutto ottimo: posto incantevole, personale gentile, piatto eccezionale. Il menù propone una vasta scelta tra terra e mare. Consiglio!!

24/08/2025: We ate very well: the dishes were plentiful and carefully prepared, with excellent value for money. The staff was friendly and helpful, always attentive to our requests. The service was quick and efficient. The location also deserves a mention: both the interior and exterior are welcoming and well-maintained, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

13/07/2025: Poor and expensive food quality and quantity

03/10/2025: So, I went here with a friend, mostly because there wasn't much else going on: on a Saturday night, it was impossible to find a table anywhere else. At first glance, the place is nice; I think they also play music, maybe even karaoke on certain nights. But guys... the wait! Oh my, I was starving. It was way too long. The pizza was good, for goodness' sake, but nothing memorable: I think they could do better. I love Neapolitan-style deep-dish pizza, but obviously, this is a different area, so that's fine. Then, a little episode: my friend and I forgot to ask for the pizza pre-sliced. When we asked, the response was a bit hesitant, like, "Let's see if we can do it"... Luckily, they finally cut it for us, but I think they should be more customer-friendly. I want to feel at home in a place, pampered, spoiled.

19/09/2025: It was a very inviting place and we decided to have a meal here. However it was only average looking at the quality and we would not return there again. Next to an okay meal is the service as well only average. For us not to recommend.

01/11/2025: Excellent food, friendly staff, excellent gluten-free options too. The gluten-free pizza is very light. The gluten-free pizza, on the other hand, is very good and melts in the mouth. I'd also like to add that making mistakes is human; please be more lenient with restaurateurs, who work on holidays, but you don't. My first experience several years ago was disappointing. I'm going back today and I'm pleasantly surprised! Congratulations, I'll be back again.

01/11/2025: Compliments for everything, refined atmosphere, very courteous staff and above all excellent quality food: 10 out of 10

12/09/2025: The environment here is very bad, the food is not good, I have been here but it is not good.

22/08/2025: Rude staff. Told us “I dont wash dishes” when we didnt know where to put our mugs, why the attitude? Mediocre food and coffee
