I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

19/02/2026: A very warm welcome. We ordered wine, appetizers, and pizzas. Everything was delicious, the pizzas were made right in front of us. The waitress speaks good English, and everyone was very friendly. Highly recommended.

10/02/2026: Everything was absolutely delicious. The appetizer was a dream, and the pizza was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend trying the tiramisu — it’s the best I’ve ever eaten. The only small thing I would change is the lighting; a bit dimmer would make the atmosphere feel more romantic.

02/04/2026: A charming yet familiar place where, in addition to sampling unique and delicious beers, you can eat excellently in a consistently pleasant atmosphere. Congratulations! Highly recommended.

29/03/2026: Tasty food supported with excelent beer

01/04/2026: Excellent welcome… Beautiful location

31/03/2026: We had the pleasure of attending the 100-day lunch with the school at this reception hall. It was a wonderful day that we will cherish forever, thanks to the professionalism and organization of the facility.

12/03/2026: The nun's breast and cream puff pastry were delicious! I loved the cinnamon sprinkled on top; it smelled delicious!

01/03/2026: It's a pastry shop... with limited seating and no privacy. The place is small and crowded, and you don't even have time for a coffee. It's too chaotic. The desserts are just small, nothing special for my tastes.

06/11/2025: We came here because it was recommended in the Lonely Planet guide, but when we arrived it was closed – even though Google clearly shows it as open. Please update your opening hours so we don't make a wasted trip, thank you 🙏 Update: The opening hours aren't updated in real time, it's true, but they are updated quickly if you request it, probably within 24 hours. It would be even faster to do this than to reply to comments :)

31/10/2025: Delicious! The products are amazing.

06/04/2026: I highly recommend the Al Bel Paese restaurant. We had lunch there, sampling both raw and cooked fish dishes, all rigorously fresh and beautifully crafted. Congratulations! 👏🏼👍🏼

03/04/2026: The restaurant is located in a building whose facade was undergoing renovation. It's located by the sea. The food is delicious and the service is friendly.

13/04/2026: Varied and tasty appetizers, excellent seafood risotto, well-cooked mixed fried fish.

13/04/2026: The food was delicious and arrived very quickly. The staff provided excellent service; they were friendly, smiling, and very helpful.

26/03/2026: Cute, fun for special evenings or just to spend time with friends

21/03/2026: The savory crepes were very good, the meatballs as an appetizer were also excellent, and there was a wide selection of drinks. Highly recommended!

30/03/2026: Fresh flowers on the table, super helpful, kind, and friendly staff. Many of the products used are locally sourced (Coldiretti market), so the dishes are incredibly good. Yes, some things could be improved, but overall, everything is truly delicious. Congratulations

17/03/2026: Well, this is my third time at Piero's, so I think I can give you an informed opinion. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming, both inside and outside, in a covered gazebo. Air conditioning inside ensures good comfort, while the outside shade is provided by a cover and side screens. The furnishings are minimal but decidedly well-designed for the quality of the place. Let's get to the dishes: 1) spaghetti allo scoglio (spaghetti with seafood), it's been ages since I've had such delicious seafood spaghetti, so much so that I'd even eaten the same dish at Michelin-starred restaurants in the Viareggio area. 2) spaghetti with smoked salmon and zucchini, a delight, with top-quality salmon and slightly crunchy zucchini, a true explosion of flavor. 3) lampredotto with salsa verde (lampredotto with green sauce), literally devoured. For those who don't mind this type of meat, this is a must-try dish, with an exceptionally balanced green sauce and the overall flavor of a gourmet dish. 4) the puff pastry with cream, I can't tell you what else, you'll find it better in one pastry shop out of twenty! 5) the coffee, aka the sore point of many restaurants... well... here you can ALSO enjoy a coffee as the gods command!!!! And what about the bill? Prices are decidedly very, very reasonable. The staff is friendly, cheerful, and helpful. I love this place and will definitely visit again as soon as I can. Finally, don't miss a visit to Antica Trattoria da Piero.

25/03/2026: Fantastic little restaurant with exceptional food! Amazing!!

16/02/2026: Small but welcoming restaurant, centrally located, quick service and good food, competitive prices.

15/03/2026: We were there last night. The pizza was fabulous, the atmosphere was truly beautiful, it took you back in time, and it was spotlessly clean. The service staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. Definitely a must-try, and we'll definitely be returning to try other dishes.

08/03/2026: I went to this restaurant with my wife and had a truly excellent experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the waiter explained the dishes in detail. The owner is hospitable and kind. The food was excellent. I will definitely be back. I highly recommend it.

28/02/2026: I'm still sitting here at the table, completely satisfied with my lunch at La Pignata. Friendly service, excellent cuisine, and good music. A relaxed atmosphere and attentive, smiling service, even accommodating requests for variations, like my amazing spaghetti with mussels in white sauce, with just 3 or 4 cherry tomatoes... exceptional! 😍 Thanks to all the staff, I'll take home so much pleasure!

06/01/2026: We went with a group of 26 friends to lunch at this delightful little restaurant in the heart of Otranto on January 3, 2026. We were welcomed by Mrs. Doriana with warmth and kindness. The food and price were excellent. I highly recommend it.

01/02/2026: Once again at Matisse And once again completely satisfied with our choice. Thanks to Mario and all his staff for the warm welcome, the always polite and friendly service, and of course for the fabulous kaleidoscope of flavors in his kitchen.

02/01/2026: It's not the first time, not surprisingly, dishes that amaze the palate, smell, and taste buds. Everything is impeccable. I have a small complaint: the place isn't well heated. I recommend a stove with a fire; it would add a touch of warmth and make the space more welcoming. In the bathroom, turning on the existing radiator would be enough.

11/12/2025: I was with two friends and a friend for the first time at this wonderful place, which we found by chance on Google. We were delighted to discover a delightful, welcoming, and beautifully lit atmosphere. All the Christmas decorations were beautiful and tasteful, especially a large tree that occupied a prominent, yet central, spot in the space reserved for the tables. Otherwise, they would have left us a table, so it was a commendable choice! A word or two about the staff: Daniele was extremely kind, professional, and friendly, as were his colleagues. They were all very helpful, even when we had some difficulties with the wifi connection, and were very helpful with honest advice on the menu. We'll definitely be back soon! Thanks guys 💪🥂🍀🫶🔝

07/12/2025: I haven't been back in years, but I must say the offerings have remained the same: a mix of the owner's kindness, a welcoming location, and good value. A perfect place for both romantic dinners and evenings with friends; it's located in an old building, which still features a well inside. The gastronomic offerings are extremely varied, satisfying all palates; the same goes for the food, from beers to wines. The dishes are generous, a rare thing these days, but much appreciated. The reservation system is very helpful and very smart. I'll be back more often.

17/03/2026: If you're looking for an authentic culinary experience in the heart of Salento, the Blu Notte restaurant in Lecce is a must-visit. What's immediately striking is the professionalism of the staff: an incredibly empathetic and knowledgeable team, capable of making you feel pampered from the first to the last moment with a warm yet never intrusive welcome. This attention to detail is also reflected in the impeccable cleanliness of the premises, which creates a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The strong point remains the unbeatable value: fresh ingredients, carefully prepared dishes, and intense flavors at absolutely fair prices for the quality of the offering. All this is complemented by an ideal location, perfect for enjoying a stroll among the beauties of Lecce's Baroque architecture immediately after your meal. A true gem that never disappoints!

17/03/2026: Very elegant restaurant but we were disappointed by the food. Gracious service. I had pasta with lobster which was quite nice. The sauce ofolive oil and cherry tomato was light and bright. The tail had been loosened from the shell but it was difficult to get at any other meaty bits as no special implements were provided nor finger bowls. I expect diners here are too elegant to wrestle with their shellfish. My companion had grilled swordfish which was dry. The steaks were very thin, less than a centimetre thick. That’s likely a management decision which makes the work of the kitchen staff near impossible. We ordered two contorni. Grilled mixed vegetables were tough and dry for the most part. Partly the consequence of slicing courgettes and aubergines too thinly. Partly the decision to over-grill resulting in a good looking dish at the expense of tenderness. There was a bottle of olive provided that helped. No seasoning. The other dish of aubergine salad was tasty and well seasoned from capers but served stone cold straight from the fridge. It could have been improved by serving slightly chilled or at room temperature.
