I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

21/10/2025: We were seated quickly and waited more than twenty minutes for our drinks, but without bread. The water billed was clearly tap water, given the taste. The dishes lacked finesse (thick linguine and soggy pizza dough).

08/07/2025: A truly delightful little place in the heart of Lecce. I'd love to return; I had a wonderful evening. The pizzas are delicious, and the atmosphere is lovely. 😁

20/08/2025: The hours are wrong. I don't think it's open until 2 a.m.

12/07/2025: Be prepared for a long wait. In the evening, the minimum wait is 40 minutes. You order in one room and pick up in another, at a different bar. Even if you order pizza and drinks, you'll receive your drinks along with your food, meaning after 40 minutes. If you want them sooner, you'll need to speak to the person serving your food. It's best to speak Italian; you won't be able to communicate in English. It's clear this is a problem for him, and he's reluctant to serve drinks before you order. The pizza is very good, but the service and wait time are typical Southern fare. If you don't like long waits, this isn't the place for you.

05/10/2025: Very familiar, welcoming atmosphere, very good pizzas over time have further improved

27/09/2025: Unbalanced quality-price ratio. Excessive prices.

21/10/2025: Extremely long waits and average-quality food. I emphasize extremely long waits, with two-hour intervals between courses. Furthermore, diners were served asynchronously; at the same table, dessert and main course were served at the same time. The icing on the cake was the mistake of writing the birthday girl's name on the cake. I recommend a radical change in management.

21/10/2025: Waits too long, terrible service

28/10/2025: A fabulous place The hotel is well-maintained, nestled in a beautiful pine forest and surrounded by many activities along the way: a soccer field, a tennis court, and ponies, ducks, and chickens. • Parking: Convenient and well-managed. • Beach: Truly gorgeous. • Room: Average, functional, and clean. • Breakfast: Needs reconsidering. The selection is limited, especially the savory options (only cooked ham and eggs are available). Restaurant: This is the real sore point. The service is practically nonexistent (we still wonder why there's a maître d'), the food is decent, but the atmosphere is reminiscent of a canteen: no tablecloths, plastic glasses, and plates. It would take very little to improve—even just a tablecloth and slightly more refined cuisine. On the third day, tired of the food, we asked to dine at the Hotel Terminal in Santa Maria di Leuca, where we had a wonderful time. Advice for future guests: Staying here is absolutely worth it, but we recommend choosing the breakfast option only. Advice for the property: Revamp the restaurant to aim for an additional star.

12/10/2025: Excellent value for money. A charming location right on the sea with a private sandy beach.

03/10/2025: Great little Italian restaurant! We had a lovely 3 course lunch here today whilst hiding away from the torrential storm outside. The restaurant was super busy but the staff were able to find us a table away from the rain, the restaurant is small but has a great atmosphere inside as the staff were super friendly and the food was great! They have daily specials (today was a local mushroom which they showed and explained to us that they could make it in either a linguine or risotto or however we wanted it). Great selection of local deserts to pick from as well! ☺️

27/09/2025: So far the worst Italian dinner we had. The mushroom carpacio was not fresh and you could see the mushrooms had previously worms. Basically not clean. The local olive oil was bitter and not tasty at all. The side dish of grilled vegetables contains couple of slices of paprika & cuccini for 8 € (?!) Go next door. Anywhere. Saturday night and 2 tables full. Everything empty. You have an clear answer.

07/11/2025: Open 24/7, friendly staff. You can sit outside in the spacious outdoor area. Parking is available nearby.

06/10/2025: Simply authentic and typical...a favorite place.

20/09/2025: What's better than a pizza with friends? What if we added group dancing? What if we added appetizers? What if we added a lot of older kids who love bachata so much they adapt it to any kind of dance? Well, this is Stop Over, an atypical place where the parking lot initially holds about 20 cars but can grow to hold up to a hundred by taking advantage of the neighbors' fields. Where the parking attendant is also the dishwasher, cook, meter, and cleaner (you're great, Igor). Where the waiters are also customers who are also pretty good dancers. Where after a short while, you can make friends and chat with people about the most disparate topics. Where there's a smoking area with advanced air purification technology. Where every pizza seems to be apparently identical to your friend's. The only place where they serve half a meatball of a Swiss tropical fish. As the old saying goes, when you go on a stopover, you cry twice upon arrival and the next day, on the toilet, with gastrointestinal problems. I love you all, thank you for everything.

07/07/2025: Adult place, poor food!! I will never set foot there again!!!

25/10/2025: CHANGE JOB First and last time, pizzas burned on the bottom, tasteless, hard, pizza boxes falling apart, and we found the pizzas stuck to the cardboard.

12/10/2025: I'd say it's the best pizza in S. Foca.

27/09/2025: An enchanting place right by the sea. Not much going on in September, and that's a good thing. Very natural. The restrooms are dated but clean and well-functioning. A paradise for us. No entertainment, no frills, just peace and quiet with a view of the sea. We hope the owner will live for many years to come. Because what will happen to the place then? Thank you so much for the time in paradise.

24/09/2025: It's a lost place with a lot of charm. I love places like this. The restrooms are available and clean. It's the ideal place for those seeking relaxation. A paradise for dogs, with plenty of beach.

19/06/2025: Attratti dalla location ci siamo fermati ma che delusione: Antipasto di cozze neanche male ma le alici marinate sapevano solo di aceto e assomigliavano molto a quelle di un supermercato. Spaghetti alle vongole che non sapevano di niente e spaghetti allo scoglio che sembravano in brodo. Mai più…

11/06/2025: Siamo stati qui il 2 giugno, premesso che fosse un giorno festivo e anche caldo, il ristorante era affollato infatti abbiamo dovuto attendere circa un’oretta prima di poterci accomodare. Al momento dell’ordine, il cameriere ci comunica che alcuni dei primi piatti presenti sul menù non erano disponibili, quindi la scelta si riduceva a soli quattro piatti. Dopodiché ordiniamo un piatto di ricci, un’insalata di polipi, spaghetti con gli scampi e spaghetti ai frutti di mare, più una porzione di frittura di pesce mista. Il cameriere ci comunica che il costo dei ricci è di 1,50 € a pezzo, ma se volevamo quelli più grandi e pieni avevano un costo di 2,50 € a pezzo, il che mi sembrava abbastanza esagerato e ovviamente abbiamo optato per quelli da 1,50 €. In effetti non erano un granché, stessa cosa per l’insalata di polipo pagata circa 7/8 €, per una porzione davvero misera. Almeno i primi erano abbastanza abbondanti e la qualità dei prodotti era tutto sommato buona. Il locale è carino, in quanto si trova fronte mare, ma il servizio è fatto con tovaglia e piatti usa e getta. Il conto finale era di 63 €, con quello elencato prima e una bottiglietta d’acqua più un quartino di vino bianco, per la quantità dei piatti che abbiamo mangiato, ci aspettavamo qualcosa in meno o che comunque venisse arrotondato il totale a 60 € (trattandosi di uno sconto di appena €3), cosa che non è stata fatta e non ci è neanche stato rilasciato lo scontrino fiscale. Sicuramente non è un posto che non consiglierei, in quanto anche i camerieri sono stati tutti gentili, ma si potrebbe fare di meglio!

17/11/2025: Excellent pizza and first courses

10/11/2025: Excellent pizza restaurant, excellent ingredients, knowledgeable and friendly owner and staff. Superb.

02/11/2025: Positives: The lively and engaging entertainment and the location close to the sea. Negatives: The apartment was run down, neglected, and dirty, with a shower that stopped providing hot water while we were showering.

25/09/2025: Small rooms, lacking comfort, uncomfortable beds, neglected sports facilities with rust and moss in both the playground and pool areas. Some children's games were patched up, some were broken and therefore unsafe, the gym was unusable, and most of the pool loungers were broken. Uncomfortable beds, rooms in need of renovation. When a group arrived for two days, there was chaos, great confusion both during the afternoon rest hours and at night, even on the beach; the restaurant felt like a market. There were no warnings, as the group continued to make a racket without any problems. Unreasonable wait times for breakfast during the group's stay: a 40-minute line at the only machine for a cappuccino, with a bar open, and no staff member made a coffee or anything else. The water for showers was lukewarm, but after we informed them, the temperature was raised. The place is infested with mosquitoes. I recommend mosquito nets in the rooms. The staff is friendly and helpful. But the price isn't worth the service. The only positives are the staff and the good food. Salvatore is the top maître d'.

09/08/2025: Bella la location, camerieri molto garbati e preparati, antipasti e primi nella media , abbiamo preso un misto di 4 portate come antipasto ed orecchiette al ragù bianco di agnello come primo. I secondi molto deludenti , sia le bombette impanate che la melanzana al forno! Piatti serviti freddi soprattutto i secondi! Lo Chef dovrebbe migliorare molto la qualità delle portate!

06/08/2025: Ottima cucina tipica con prodotti di alta qualità. Ottimi prezzi , ottimo servizio e location stupenda e caratteristica.
