I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Otranto della Lecce

01/11/2025: I don't recommend it! We ordered a portion of orecchette (we had eaten elsewhere and liked them) and a portion of lasagna, and when they were brought to us we were surprised that they didn't bring us the parmigiano, only after we requested them and waited for a while. The basil was burnt on the edges (a sign that it had been put in the oven with the lasagna, but unfortunately we overlooked this "detail"), and the portion of orecchette was swimming in a soup of something that was supposed to be a sauce. What was annoying was that the orecchiettes were cooked differently (some soft and others very hard) and when we told them this they said they couldn't do it, then that if we wanted we wouldn't pay for them, then that they would bring us more, finally the woman who served us didn't come to the table and sent the bar boy to collect our bill (in full of course) who told us that we had eaten the portion anyway so it had to be paid. We asked for someone to come and discuss it with us and things had already escalated. We asked to pay and we left with a bitter taste. Total lack of professionalism.

24/10/2025: A hamburger that's limited to a pseudo-sandwich bun, with a steak and some fries. No sauce, no salad, no tomatoes, no onions, no cheese. For €15. Avoid...

21/10/2025: Very good restaurant with design, no sandwich, as well as a bar on the other side personal, smiling, welcoming, very beautiful, decoration A sufficient variety of products an impressive generosity on the meat for a very cheap price 3-4€ for a sandwich overflowing with filling)

26/09/2025: Trattoria in Porto Badisco, one of the many beautiful locations in Salento.

30/09/2025: We chanced upon this restaurant while walking after dinner, and stopped for a drink and to enjoy the beautiful view of the port and peaceful side of the fortified wall area of Otranto's historic centre. Based on that enjoyable experience we dined there the following evening; it was wonderful. It's a beautiful setting, the service was excellent, and the food was very good; I had a vegan dish, tofu tataki, which was very tasty and filling. For dessert we shared tiramisu and it was literally the best one I've ever had; somehow light and not overly sweet or gooey, just a beautiful balance of flavours. Perfect! Because it's a little off the beaten path it's quieter than some other restaurants in the tourist area, which was delightful.

28/09/2025: Very attentive service and fine food.

06/10/2025: Good cuisine with seafood. The wine and desserts were good choices.

24/09/2025: Bad service , Price Quality also bad

29/08/2025: The owner's service is terrible. Very aggressive and defensive when faced with a polite request. I don't recommend it at all. I don't understand how he retains his customers. Another owner should open the same location because it's beautiful.

29/08/2025: The owner refused to give us an umbrella because we had small children and a stroller (which could be folded). He also said we couldn't open a small basin in the shade for our newborn. This is absolutely disgusting, insensitive, rude, and discriminatory behavior toward children. We have reported this to the authorities. Stay away from this place.

30/08/2025: Excellent food, utmost kindness, highly recommended.

30/08/2025: A disastrous experience... We stopped to eat the local specialty (orecchiette con le cime di rapa) because the menu looked reasonable. A quick welcome, no smiles, served in barely 5 minutes, the quantity left something to be desired, the pasta was overcooked and covered in oil, and the waiter was not professional at all: he sighed and became annoyed when he realized we weren't going to order wine or dessert... We were ejected like dirt: no thank you or goodbye. Luckily for them, their restaurant is well located in the old town! We left disappointed and with the feeling of having been trapped in a tourist trap. Clearly a place to avoid if you want to discover authentic Puglian cuisine...

11/10/2025: We decided to have pizza, since we've been eating fish and meat for days. We made the right choice, it was a very good pizza.

27/09/2025: For a tourist spot, this is still a decent pizza, very good value for money. Thank you for putting real green olives on the pizzas and not black olives in brine from a can. The only downside is that I was a bit surprised to pay 2 euros per person for cutlery. I think it's a bit of a tip, even though I always leave one. In short, if you want to stop after a good visit and eat well without breaking the bank in a tourist spot, this is for you!

17/07/2025: Abbiamo conosciuto questo posto su consiglio di amici, nei vicoli del centro storico. Che dire: personale simpatico, professionale e garbato. Cibo eccellente. Abbiamo assaggiato due primi (linguine con i frutti di mare e gnocchi di patate con vongole e asparago verde) davvero deliziosi, seguiti da un'ottima frittura di calamari. Vino rosato di eccellente qualità. Consigliatissimo!

16/07/2025: Menu turistico ottimo linguine ai frutti di mare eccellenti, il pane con l olio servito a tavola da leccarsi i baffi.filetto si irata alle mandorle......il tutto a buon prezzo.🤪

16/07/2025: Cena ECCELLENTE . Agriturismo immerso nel verde della campagna sulla litoranea a sud di Otranto. Cibo genuino, del territorio e di qualità ottima. Sapori autentici in piatti presentati davvero bene. Porzioni abbondanti e rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo! Complimenti ai giovani ma già capacissimi ragazzi della cucina e ai gentilissimi titolari. Esperienza da ripetere! Consigliatissimo

15/07/2025: Mi è stato consigliato. Devo dire tutto ottimo: posto incantevole, personale gentile, piatto eccezionale. Il menù propone una vasta scelta tra terra e mare. Consiglio!!

14/10/2025: Dinner on a weekday evening. Homemade dishes are not available. The head waiter is in a hurry to see you leave. They don't ask if you'd like anything else to eat, and they don't offer dessert or coffee. The important thing is that you leave, and quickly, because there aren't many customers that evening. AVOID. We've never been so poorly received in Salento!

11/10/2025: Compliments to this restaurant for the good cuisine, excellent dishes with very fresh ingredients, beautiful location and very kind staff, highly recommended place and we will be happy to return

26/09/2025: A very disappointing experience. I wanted to go back this summer after my first visit, which was two years ago. But it doesn't compare at all to then. The wait was over an hour, so much so that the water on the table had become warm. The sandwiches were tiny and had very little toppings: dry bread, ingredients replaced over the years with substitutes (olives -> industrial olive pâté), or omitted due to the kitchen's inattention. The staff was clearly understaffed and stressed by the workload, often proving to be rude. While I had fond memories of eating there (the same dishes) two years ago, I can now say I'll never go back. Money wasted because the prices aren't worth the products.

16/09/2025: Nice place, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. The carpaccio was downright awful, and the tuna tartar was...

29/10/2025: Despite the mixed reviews we had a brilliant experience here - delicious pizza and pasta, friendly service and a gorgeous view of the bay - couldn't ask for more.

27/10/2025: Excellent pizza. We had one Tonno Cipolle and one Capriciosa.
