I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

07/10/2025: Elegant and vintage atmosphere, very friendly staff, very little noise, and delicious food. This is a restaurant that deserves five stars! I recommend booking!!! 👌

04/10/2025: A simple pizzeria with delicious food and attentive service. It's just what you'd imagine in Italy, just like at mom's. Simple but perfect. The price-performance ratio is excellent by German standards. Very friendly with children. We'd gladly go back!

26/09/2025: I go there at least three times a summer. Everything is excellent, with good value for money. The portions are generous, and the staff is friendly.

18/09/2025: Always a guarantee! Super efficient, friendly, and helpful staff. Plenty of outdoor seating. Delicious food, always made with fresh ingredients. Excellent value for money!

12/10/2025: Fiori di Zucca As a child, I often visited my grandparents in Italy – and today, 60 years later, all those memories flooded back. In this restaurant in the south of Lecce, which appears unassuming from the outside, the food simply tastes like it did back then: authentic, honest, incredibly good. A place where you can truly savor Puglia. A must-try! Fiori di Zucca As a child, I often found my grandparents in Italy – and today, after 60 years, they have truly savoured wonderful memories. In this seemingly simple restaurant in the south of Lecce, the flavors are always authentic: genuine, sincere, and indispensable. A post should be sent to Puglia from the palace. There you prove it absolutely! 🇮🇹

11/10/2025: This was an odd experience. Most importantly, the food is delicious, wonderful in fact. Exactly what I wanted - a taste of Lecce. We started with the fiori di zucca fritti and a sample of olive oil toasts. I had the Sagne Nnannulate with the tomato sauce with horse meat, lovely balance of richness and savory tomato flavor. My wife enjoyed the Ciceri e tria pasta, also wonderful. We paired it with a nice rose wine. Where I felt bothered was how we were treated. This is my 10th trip to Italy, so I know the customs and embrace them fully. I am not fluent but speak Italian decently for a tourist. We were dressed as well as anyone who showed up. We arrived shortly after the restaurant opened at 8pm. There was a large tour group eating inside. However we were told we could only eat outside. OK, I understand it's Saturday night maybe there were many reservations so we took seats outside. But it was evident that we were not welcome for whatever reason. We could tell from the conversations as people rang the bell to enter, half of the people who arrived afterwards didn't have reservations. I speak well enough to understand the language of the restaurant. YET NO ONE ELSE WAS MADE TO SIT OUTSIDE. Each time the door opened, we hear people inside enjoying themselves and we were alone outside. While food service was OK, in my many visits to Italy this was the first time I was made to feel like a stranger. Made more apparent every time the front door closed. To reiterate, the food is wonderful. The inside atmosphere and decor, from what we could see through the windows like beggars, is charming. We just didn't feel welcome. We skipped dessert downed a coffee, paid and left. We felt welcome in Bari for 3 nights but Lecce was not welcoming this night. Dumb luck I guess.

27/04/2025: A transversal place, suitable for every eventuality.

29/03/2025: Great meeting point for aperitifs, drinks, and small parties!

29/09/2025: Excellent bar, very friendly staff

19/06/2025: The most delicious ice cream in Mattinata, with the best service (we know, we did a comparative product research)

05/09/2025: Fantastic sandwiches! The waitress really tried to help us as we spoke no Italian. Food took a little while to arrive but certainly didn’t disappoint.

25/08/2025: Super friendly and sunny guys, excellent quality food, unbeatable prices, coming from the north every year we have a fixed stop 🥰 congratulations, see you next year

19/07/2025: Good food for the price, excellent and fast service, great welcome.

18/07/2025: Excellent. Impeccable service. A guarantee.

04/07/2025: A small place a little crowded in the evening, with different types of pizza 🍕 and drinks. Pizza Margherita, Prosciuto Funghi, sandwiches, croissants, etc.

24/06/2025: Been here SEVERAL times! Probably the best pizza slice in town.. Panzerotti and pucce also TO DIE FOR!!! Staff very kind and educated as well🙌🏻

08/10/2025: Highly recommended. Clean and well-maintained. Perfect staff 👍

08/09/2025: Ideally located campsite, quiet, shaded, with direct access to the beach, perfectly clean restrooms, and a warm and friendly welcome, especially when we had a breakdown with our caravan. A big thank you to the owner and his son-in-law for their patience and kindness in helping us find troubleshooting solutions 👏👏👏

27/09/2025: We only used the camper area as the farm was closed at the end of September. Simple and basic, convenient for reaching the beaches of Alimini and Baia dei Turchi. Bathrooms are basic, perhaps in need of some updating.

29/08/2025: We ate here one evening, featuring locally sourced vegetables and produce, homemade, local cuisine. Everything was very informal, with a lovely courtyard.

14/08/2025: Welcoming place, helpful, polite, and attentive staff. Fresh, high-quality products. We went for dinner; the place was packed, but we managed to find seats for four despite short notice. The kids ordered pizza, while we adults ordered a mixed antipasto and a mixed grill of meats. I personally didn't try the pizza, which my companions (husband and children) said was delicious. I ordered a mixed antipasto made up of various high-quality products, in an extremely generous portion. I don't know who supplies the ricotta, but I've rarely tasted it this good. The mixed antipasto also includes lampascioni (wild onions): try them! Highly recommended.

24/07/2025: Great food, quiet atmosphere, fast service.

11/08/2025: We booked the "hotel" through Secret Escape because of its location, as it's relatively easy to reach the most beautiful towns in the region. The description didn't mention that it's an event venue. During our stay, there were events like birthday parties, weddings, and techno parties taking place at the pool almost daily – until the early hours of the morning. Restful sleep was impossible due to the enormous noise. The breakfast buffet selection was extremely limited and in no way matched what you would expect from a hotel of this category. The otherwise beautiful pool area was heavily overcrowded with day visitors during the day, as the area is clearly used as a public outdoor pool. Added to that was the surprising rule that the pool could only be used with a swimming cap. What a shame about this beautiful facility.

08/08/2025: Unspeakable. It took them three hours to find out who to talk to about making a restaurant reservation, and after confirming availability and learning there was a Smartbox, they canceled the reservation.

07/10/2025: Excellent address... The dishes are very good. The setting is pleasant. A very pleasant surprise at reasonable prices. Note that €3/person is added to the table for the cover charge.

03/10/2025: This place was a wonderful surprise. Excellent food, super friendly staff, excellent value. If I didn't plan on leaving tomorrow, I'd go back. Highly recommended.

08/10/2025: A beautiful place surrounded by nature... Typical local dishes. Efficient service, the owner is a delight. Good!!!

06/10/2025: What a beautiful day. Maybe it was the delicious food, the enchanting location, or the company, but deep down I know why I loved it so much: I felt right at home. A heartfelt thank you to the Tenuta Tedone Consolini staff for their hospitality and kindness. It was truly magical! We'll definitely be back.
