I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Otranto della Lecce

06/04/2026: We stumbled upon it by chance, through social media, while searching for a place to have Easter lunch. It was actually an experiment, with the desire to spend a quiet day eating something good. The result was very satisfying. A genuine location, in the open countryside, with the sea on the horizon, with the perfect balance between rural tradition and modern hospitality. The beautiful stone courtyard, nestled among the tourist cottages, offers a lovely panoramic view of the pool, shaded by a young pergola supported by Lecce stone columns, surrounded by citrus trees, and a magnificent pine forest on the horizon. The welcome was excellent, with the entire staff being very friendly and genuinely helpful. Given the occasion, the fixed menu was tasty, with authentic flavors, dishes that leave fond memories and the desire to return. Returning for the place, the taste, the kindness? Who knows, it's hard to decide!

20/02/2026: I appreciated that, despite the low season, they chose to stay open on weekends. We took advantage of the stay + spa package. A wonderful experience! The masseria is in a strategic location, surrounded by nature, and tastefully furnished. Comfort and pampering guaranteed! The wellness area is top-notch, the rooms are beautiful, with comfortable beds, a spacious bathroom, and a very welcoming breakfast room with a large fireplace. We didn't use the restaurant, but the feedback from friends who did is overwhelmingly positive. Special mention goes to the reception staff: helpful, welcoming, and smiling, they were always ready to accommodate our every request. We'll definitely be back. Keep up the good work!

20/04/2026: Cozy atmosphere, very good wines, nice little platter. Go for it!

15/04/2026: The platter for 2 is worth the price, both for its variety and its flavors.

10/04/2026: A great place to come and enjoy some tasty local food and fresh fish of the day, doesnt feel touristy at all, has more of an authentic feel. Service is really good, they offer you free prosecco (good one not the random kind) and figs and cheese before desert just as an in between free tasting. Its more inland and feels like an agriturismo place more rustic but yet modern enough without feeling sterile. Definitely good choice would recommend!

08/04/2026: Excellent. The products (fish, vegetables, etc.) are exceptionally fresh. Very friendly atmosphere. Impeccable service.

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.

06/04/2026: We had a wonderful lunch. Everything was perfect: the setting, the food, and the attentive service. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're ever in Otranto; it's a real gem. Special mention to our waiter Mattia, whose impeccable French brightened our lunch.

08/11/2025: Superb setting, refined dishes, professional service

19/09/2025: Very nice view Very good food (the octopus is really amazing - fried and in salad both) People are nice Not so expensive Recommended !

18/09/2025: We came because the reviews were positive. But I don't understand why. The salad is almost entirely green salad and is served in a cardboard box... and for the octopus sandwich the bread was cold and not even toasted... it was bland. Poor value for money in my opinion.

02/05/2026: Excellent...I'd like to find flaws but there aren't any. Quality/price ratio, super good pizza.

25/01/2026: Very nice and welcoming place! I hadn't heard of it, but it was a lovely discovery. Impeccable service and very helpful and friendly staff. The food is excellent, so I highly recommend it.

29/04/2026: INCREDIBLE place!! Highly recommend. Sergio went above and beyond for me and was the kindest man. Defiantly will be revisiting

21/02/2026: A truly luxurious hotel. A 100% recommended stay. Spectacular views, impeccable service. Friendly, charming, and welcoming.

24/03/2026: It's closed, even though Google Maps said it was open.

23/12/2025: My boyfriend and I went to this little restaurant in September. Fantastic place! We spent a bit because we didn't want for anything, but the quality of the food and wine was worth every penny. The fish was incredibly fresh, and they recommended the right wine to pair with the dishes. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable. Excellent customer service! High quality, definitely recommended.

27/12/2025: We stumbled upon it by chance, without a reservation, one day during the Christmas holidays. We'd heard good things about it, and it deserved its reputation: we had excellent raw seafood (compliments to the accompanying sauces), a first course (tagliolini spunsale and anchovy colatura), a second course (sea bass with chard cream), and two desserts. Everything was delicious! It must be said: the price isn't cheap. The service was truly friendly, both to us and to our dog. I recommend it for a special occasion.

08/12/2025: Lots of Japan influence in the food. A nice interpretation of Italian fusion food.

21/09/2025: Very kind and helpful owner, excellent cleanliness, super breakfast

27/08/2025: Wonderful vacation, quiet location surrounded by greenery, clean rooms, very friendly staff. Not to mention the owners, Walter and Paola, two wonderful people, very friendly, kind, and helpful. The breakfast was super generous, we'll definitely be back.

18/10/2025: Fantastic dinner. We had the full Italian dining experience: appetiser, primi, secondi, and dessert. The wine was fantastic; the pasta and fish courses were perfect and the tiramisu was the best we had in Italy.

17/08/2025: Excellent experience, superb facility from the rooms, to the location, to the breakfast, to the cleanliness and last but not least, the kindness and helpfulness of the staff! Fantastic!

10/08/2025: Exceptional breakfast. Very central location, just a few meters from Otranto's historic center. Helpful staff. A veritable museum, it houses ship parts. Highly recommended.

17/01/2026: The evening begins like this... I call and make a reservation for 9:30 PM for 4 people. They tell me over the phone that the wait is 5 minutes, which is just enough time for the table to be free. I arrive promptly and they tell me to wait 10 minutes. At 10:17 PM, I ask how much longer and they tell me to wait until the table is free since they had asked for the bill. After a long (and unwanted) wait, we manage to sit down at 10:23 PM. The place is nice, with seating near the sea. We order at 10:46 PM. The dishes arrive at 10:52 PM. Very fast service. Excellent sushi and excellent mixed seafood appetizer. We ordered a bottle of Chardonnay "Lama di Pietra" white wine, which was delicious, served in the right way and left in the seau à glace (which is not a given). The first courses arrive later: paccheri with monkfish and sagne with almonds, cherry tomatoes, and cod. A few pieces of monkfish were not... Skinless but not bothersome The first courses are also excellent The quantity of fish in the first courses was higher than expected, and therefore generous with the seasoning I would have added a few more paccheri Next came the fried foods The anelletti and shrimp were good For the mixed seafood, most of them were good Just a few were full of bones and difficult to remove We close with the sweet and sour dishes The sweet and sour dishes were good, and the amaro del capo was served chilled in a chilled glass. All in all, the place wasn't bad. The food was good, the price was fair, the service was fast but "cold" (not a bad thing, each waiter decides how to treat the customer), and the bill was reasonable, with bitters offered after checking the order. 4 stars because there's always room for improvement. Keep it up!

21/09/2025: A good restaurant with a magnificent view, prices a little high but hey you are in a very touristy area...I recommend it.

20/04/2026: An experience to forget. ​I strongly advise against this place. I ordered a puccia with burger, and the meat was of terrible quality, probably spoiled, since I had mild food poisoning shortly afterward. To make matters worse, we found a hair on my friend's pizza. ​Hygiene and freshness of ingredients seem to be completely optional.

05/03/2026: 80 euros for an entrecote for two that was neither tender nor tasty, a pizza in the middle, two side dishes equivalent to a portion of French fries and a terrine of turnips... we're not there at all.
