I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Martano della Lecce

05/09/2025: After escaping the chaos of a festival, we found peace and quiet at this place. The staff were extremely kind and attentive, the service was fast, and the food was delicious... Fabulous croquettes!

31/08/2025: Excellent selection of rustici, fried foods, and pizzas. You can eat inside, outside, or take out. I regret not trying the rustico with horse meat and chili pepper. I'd gladly return next time I'm in the area.

11/10/2025: We stayed in Martano for two nights, and the owner of the apartment recommended we stop by Bar Ficile... well, the appearance of a typical village bar belies the exceptional quality of their products. The Fruttone and pasticciotti (the latter in two sizes, large and small, and in a variety of flavors, all delicious) were the best we had during our two-week tour of Puglia. And I can say we made a point of trying several of them during the trip. The almond cantucci and cream bomboloni, homemade by them, were amazing. They also have small pastries, which we didn't try, but they looked delicious. We also ordered rustici and pizza slices to go, and they were delicious too. The owners were also very friendly. Definitely a place I'll return to every time I come to Puglia. Highly recommended.

07/10/2025: A pastry shop worth a visit! Unusual quality standards!

10/10/2025: A super nice café where you can also get something to eat. The best evening of all. And the staff were super nice to us, even though we didn't speak Italian.

30/08/2025: If you're looking for a place that combines atmosphere, good food, and excellent drinks, you absolutely must try this new bistro! The first thing that strikes you is the energy of Simone S., the young owner and bartender, who manages to create a welcoming and lively atmosphere. The place has a charming style. And I can't help but mention the quality of the service: Simone C. and Alberto are always friendly. The food, what a delight! The cocktails are superb, the platter is a must, with a perfect selection of cured meats and cheeses, including the beef meatloaf with pecorino, mint, and three-cheese béchamel sauce!! A true explosion of flavors! The pinsa, bruschettone, and tacos are equally exquisite, perfect for an evening in good company. It's now become my regular stop, my favorite place. Five well-deserved stars for an experience that is so much more than just a bistro.

01/09/2025: Excellent pizzas and schiacciatine

22/08/2025: Typical Lecce pastry shop that you absolutely must try!

30/08/2025: Beautiful location in Martano. Delicious dishes expertly prepared and presented. Excellent meat. Recommended.

21/08/2025: The service and organization leaves much to be desired.

26/09/2025: After a long time, I've been thinking about it, and I'm finally giving my overall opinion, my review, of this place. Let's start with the assumption that, as described, it's an Osteria, and therefore should be compared to other establishments in its category. Both in the distant past and more recently, I've frequented it hundreds of times, from simply enjoying a simple but excellent pizza to convivial gatherings with family, friends, and dignitaries. It has never betrayed my trust. Never. At the Osteria of Maurizio and Letizia Protopapa, people I respect for their professionalism and great availability, it feels like being at home, in the best sense of the word, with the added bonus of good, typical local cuisine that's always fresh and plentiful, regardless of whether you're a regular or a passing tourist. They make no distinction, and I've always noticed this over time. Let's start by judging their "simple" mixed fried food and long potato panzerotti as a centerpiece. It seems simple, but there's art to it. To move on, even though we rarely order them, to the mixed seafood appetizers. For my tastes, the highlight is the sagne ncannulate (a sort of fresh pasta fettuccine rolled and closed at the ends), especially served with tomato sauce and horse meat strips, and then topped with a variety of seasonal accompaniments, such as today's fresh porcini mushrooms. The main courses are varied and always plentiful, from various types of roasted meat, pieces of horse meat in tomato sauce, quality cheeses and cured meats, fried fish, and more. They offer a wide selection of wines, both mid-range and high-end. The selection of beers is equally extensive, and finally, there's a wide selection of spirits to choose from. The price is very fair for the quality and quantity of food. My heartfelt compliments to Maurizio and Letizia, as well as to the kitchen staff, Salvatore and Antonio.

23/09/2025: Excellent value for money, very varied menu, in summer it is very pleasant to be hosted in the ancient side street

06/10/2025: Beautiful trattoria restaurant for enjoying good meats and charcuterie. Friendly service. Bravo for the very good tripe starter.

04/10/2025: They accommodated us after hours, which was appreciated. The food was good, although there were too many pickles. The service was a little slower, and the meat was good. Moderately priced. You have to go by car.

31/08/2025: An excellent dinner in a beautiful courtyard.

20/08/2025: Perfect for foreign tourists; European olive oil is also a no-no. I can understand it in a company cafeteria on any northern Italian outskirts, but not in the land of olive trees. Needs improvement.
