I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

13/10/2025: I had high expectations for this place, which turned out to be welcoming and with very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the quality of the food was disappointing: the pizzas were undercooked, rubbery, and overly salty, the fried foods were cold, and the wait was long. After dinner, I felt heavy and unwell for hours. It wasn't a satisfying experience, and honestly, I don't think I'll be back.

11/10/2025: Good pizza, if Apulian too crunchy and if Neapolitan excellent, very good desserts

31/10/2025: Absolutely wonderful restaurant - a must-visit restaurant for Lecce! They serve delicious fish - we loved the mackerel (appetizer) and fresh sea bass. The bread with tomatoes in it served as an appetizer is absolutely amazing; I was surprised how delicious it is!! We asked for seconds of the bread because I loved the seasoning and tomatoes so much 😂 Shrimp gnocchi was also good. Also reasonably priced. Highly recommend dining here!

08/10/2025: Nice and cozy place. Excellent food and very good service

03/10/2025: We had the hot mixed appetizer, excellent quality. We recommend it.

03/10/2025: Excellent!! Great professionalism, attention to detail, very fresh fish, and excellent value.

26/09/2025: Let's start at the beginning. The tomato base tastes like tomatoes. You know, that sunny red fruit we use in salads, sauces, and more. Well, here it's really used. The crust is thin and perfectly cooked. The welcome from our lost French friends who don't speak a word of Italian was very pleasant. Two pizzas ready in ten minutes. Efficient and no fuss. All pizzas are under €10.

16/09/2025: Great, kind, punctual, and above all, the pizza is very good. Variety and quality. A must-visit every year. Keep it up. 👍

19/09/2025: A delicious sandwich—everything you like. Great for a snack between meals. 😃🙏

01/09/2025: Good selection of sandwiches and condiments.

14/10/2025: Great seafood, great service, recommend to try the red prawns salt baked. Worth the visit

12/10/2025: Excellent restaurant with fabulous food, but I think the place could use some updating. Impeccable table service.

05/09/2025: Highly recommended for seafood lovers. The welcome was excellent and the food was delicious. The experience exceeded our expectations. Found it by chance on Google, and it was a great choice.

04/09/2025: The dish was modified at my request and prepared quickly. The restaurant has a great menu that's very clear and offers delicious food. You leave feeling very satisfied :)

24/10/2025: Home delivery order...not delivered and lost money because I couldn't answer the phone call from Milan. Absurd!! They didn't ring the doorbell!!

21/10/2025: The rotisserie is amazing, perfect for a takeout dinner, but not so much if you're staying in. I enjoyed several delicious dishes, prepared with care and passion. The bill, less than twenty euros, was extremely affordable for two people. I highly recommend this rotisserie for a quick, tasty, and reasonably priced meal.

17/09/2025: Very kind staff, very well prepared dishes, compliments to the scief!! Excellent experience.

22/09/2025: Absolutely excellent grilled meat and vegetables. The veal is fantastic! Good service and nice streeside tables. Go here!

21/10/2025: A great lunchtime experience at I Primi di Puglia. We were warmly welcomed on the terrace, but as it got busier, we noticed they lost their overview a bit. Fortunately, the food and drinks were served quickly and were delicious. This is the place to go for fresh pasta (they were made a la minute, which you can see inside). After our main courses, it took a while before we were helped back to dessert. But since we were on vacation, this wasn't a problem for us, and we were comfortable. Afterward, we enjoyed a delicious tiramisu (the only thing available at the time) and a delicious, spicy doppio.

21/10/2025: Well, let me summarize the story of how a carnivore was amazed by a vegetarian Italian restaurant. First, the impact of the kitchen being open to the tables. Then, being invited to participate in the preparation of the pasta I was about to eat, which Katia, my wife, immediately accepted. But no amount of guidance prepared me for the deliciousness of the starter: a paste of fresh tomatoes, almonds, and spices. It was served with homemade bread. I went to the kitchen to congratulate the chef. Finally, the main course: oricchiette (traditional Puglia pasta) with a cauliflower sauce and Italian-style croutons. Of course, everything was followed by tiramisu. So, once in Italy, after this magnificent meal, I did as the Italians do: I went to the hotel and obeyed my body's greatest desire: I slept.

06/11/2025: What once began as a butcher shop has grown into a luxury restaurant serving typical Pugliese delicacies. The food was good, although the medium-rare T-bone steak was more rare than medium. We started with a tasting of 10 local appetizers and had a main course. We were too full to order dessert. The wine was excellent, especially considering the price. All in all, a good restaurant in the more upscale price range. But an experience in itself.

26/10/2025: We had dinner at this restaurant and were more than satisfied. The staff were very kind and friendly, the service was prompt, and the food was excellent. Highly recommended.

17/10/2025: Amazing drinks and vibes super cool place and they gave my mom a pretty cool T-shirt❤️❤️❤️

17/10/2025: It was a super nice experience everything 10/10

11/09/2025: Our stay at the villa was truly amazing, what a memorable experience! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home, thanks to the incredibly warm and attentive staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, which made our visit even more special. The villa itself is absolutely stunning. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, and each room was more beautiful than the last. We discovered something new to admire every day! The breakfast was also a highlight, one of the best we’ve ever had at a B&B. Thank you so much for everything. We’ll be recommending the villa to everyone we know!

25/08/2025: Beautiful venue suitable for weddings, anniversaries, and private parties. Excellent location, a beautiful old villa (very well maintained) surrounded by greenery and tranquility. Its style is both classic and very similar to luxurious farmhouses. The food was excellent, and our experience for a wedding anniversary was positive. This venue is particularly recommended for weddings to be celebrated both outdoors and indoors (the vaults are cross-vaulted and covered in local stone). The interiors are very beautiful, with air conditioning, so you can celebrate in peace both summer and winter! Recommended 👍

13/10/2025: Excellent meat, excellent wine, excellent service! And many thanks to the gentleman at the counter who recommended the diaphragm. 🙏 It was the discovery of the year. I never thought it could be THIS GOOD! 🤤

12/10/2025: Braceria da Matteo isn't worthy of 5 stars, it deserves MORE! I've been coming here every 2-3 years for 18 years, and it's never disappointed. The food is always excellent, the best quality meat, and it's always perfectly cooked! Everything was delicious! I recommend it to everyone—friends, family, boyfriends, and girlfriends—because it will never disappoint. The staff and owner are always professional, friendly, and cheerful.
