I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

04/01/2026: Rude, unpleasant, and arrogant waiter...mediocre food

24/12/2025: Seafood restaurant on the marina, excellent value for money, I recommend it to anyone who wants to make a good impression on any occasion. The gazebo outside is fabulous both in summer and winter.

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.

06/01/2026: Coming here isn't just a simple lunch or dinner... it's a lifetime experience. I have no words to describe the high level of quality and professionalism. Congratulations!

08/11/2025: Simply fantastic!!! I won't add anything else because any other words wouldn't do it justice. You have to go!

23/01/2026: A mediocre lunch.... nothing special.... a long wait to pay..... I definitely won't be back....

06/01/2026: I'm still at the table, and this is the first time I've had the urge to immediately review this lunch. Excellent dishes, incredibly tasty and meticulously prepared. Great attention was paid to a vegetarian who really enjoyed the specially prepared menu. The service was welcoming, punctual, and very friendly. I'm so happy!

19/01/2026: La Scarpetta Hostaria is a true guarantee. High-quality ingredients, carefully prepared dishes, and authentic flavors: everything was delicious, from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with great courtesy and attention to detail. Special thanks to Giordano, the owner, who gave us excellent advice on our choice of dishes, from appetizers to dessert, making us feel truly pampered. We'll definitely be back!

03/01/2026: One of the best in Lecce, excellent food and attentive, efficient staff! Prices are moderately high, but you pay for quality... definitely worth a try!

25/01/2026: Perfetto! White pizza with shrimps Was amazing, everything Was so so perfect 🫶🏻

07/01/2026: Small and cozy place You can tell it's family-run; it feels like home The service is quick but attentive The pizza is excellent The price is excellent considering the appetizer and drinks for two I recommend it...

18/01/2026: I was truly satisfied with this amazing Sunday lunch! I loved everything, from the hot appetizer to the fresh red prawns from Gallipoli, from the very special first courses to the dessert. Highly recommended.

02/01/2026: Water and bread were served immediately. Then they spent over half an hour trying to order food. Eventually, we gave up.

13/01/2026: A lovely little restaurant in a nice neighbourhood. There is a very large choice of pizzas, so it became difficult to even make a decision about what to choose, but the pizza and desert was nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. This is definitely worth a visit if in the area.

12/01/2026: A historic restaurant. The pizza is good, even if it doesn't have a more refined "gourmet" variety with top-quality ingredients. I think some of the pizzas could be a little different. I emphasize the good service because a waiter—I don't remember his name now, but I know he's been working there for about 2 years—realized that they'd assigned a table for 4 and there were 6 of us, so he moved us as soon as a larger table became available. I give the owner Donato a 0 because while we were drinking limoncello, he asked us to hurry up because he had to seat 14 people and therefore served our table!!!! I won't go into further detail because the wait for the appetizers, if you will, was really long, and then we were kicked out. But no, I'm not.

11/01/2026: I'm sorry to give the service one star because of one unkind waitress. She seemed like a dictator. She also treated the girls working between the tables roughly.

09/01/2026: Recommended by a local guide, we had dinner here. Excellent food, excellent staff, great prices for the quality, modern and welcoming atmosphere. A well-deserved 5 stars.

31/01/2026: We ordered the tasting course for four people. It was very delicious, and it suited the Korean palate as well. The menu mainly features home-cooked meals from the Puglia region. Almost all the dishes on the menu were from the southern region. We went on a Saturday lunchtime, and it was quite crowded, so it's a good idea to make a reservation.

15/01/2026: ...what can I say...an experience to absolutely avoid. The food was bland, and neither the staff nor the owners took any action to remedy the situation...as if everything were normal.

29/12/2025: A sure thing. I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Excellent value, but above all, the certainty of enjoying a great pizza accompanied by attentive service. Well done, keep it up.

17/12/2025: Everything very simple and comfortable, friendly owners, I recommend it.

06/01/2026: Great welcome, excellent pizza and restaurant.... really friendly waiters..

02/01/2026: We had dinner at Maria and Mimmo's, who are two wonderful people. The place is very welcoming, the service impeccable, and the food is fresh and excellent. Excellent value. Highly recommended if you're passing through Savalletri or if you want to eat good seafood.

17/01/2026: Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to expectations. The service was unprofessional, and the staff didn't seem to be at ease; they were clearly busy and disinterested. As for the food, the dishes were disappointing, and the mussels in particular were rubbery and flavorless, which completely ruined the experience. What a shame!

07/01/2026: I love everything about this restaurant, and whenever I pass through Castro, I can't help but stop in. In winter, the experience is even more enjoyable, because there are fewer people and the staff, always kind and welcoming, enjoys the more relaxed pace. The two sisters who own it are perfect hosts and make their guests feel at home. We last stopped by between New Year's Eve and Epiphany and enjoyed risotto, seafood spaghetti, and burnt wheat macaroni. This was followed by a generous grilled fish platter, excellently cooked and carefully selected, and a delicious and flavorful mussel and clam stew. We finished with fragrant citrus sorbets. Needless to say, the view from the terrace, directly overlooking the marina, is enchanting!

30/12/2025: Excellent food in a cozy and welcoming environment

27/12/2025: Just steps from Lucera Cathedral, in a historic building with cross vaults, lies Cortiletto. The owner, passionately reciting the menu, offers a cozy atmosphere and excellent, attentive, and thoughtful service. Excellent cuisine, highly recommended.

03/01/2026: Excellent pizza, fast, impeccable, professional service, nice location, fair price

27/12/2025: I'm eating a fabulous pizza with good toppings in a nice environment and with very polite staff....to return
