I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

29/06/2026: It was recommended to us at the Hotel Tre Archi: a 100% success! We had dinner on the terrace... very elegant. The service was very good... and the food was excellent.

26/06/2026: Top quality product, but very small quantities, exorbitant price and friendly but very slow service.

26/12/2025: Really nice place and very friendly staff. We shared a platter of cured meats between four of us (all delicious), then we moved on to the first course: the orecchiette with turnip tops were delicious! The dishes were really generous. Highly recommended.

12/12/2025: Lunch for two on December 8th. I found this place and trusted the reviews as well as the photos, which were truly inviting. A very quaint trattoria, friendly staff, and excellent food. I would definitely return to try other dishes. There are several specials of the day off the menu (I would perhaps suggest a digital menu with a dynamic QR code for the more tech-savvy). Prices are absolutely average. I recommend it.

12/07/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful surprise: we returned three times! Le Scalette was truly a wonderful discovery this year. We tried this restaurant for the first time and were so pleased we returned three nights during our vacation. And that, I think, says a lot! The location is wonderful, with a stunning view of the sunset over the Maldives of Salento: a truly special setting for a lovely evening. The quality of the dishes was excellent, the service was highly professional, and the quality/price ratio was absolutely excellent. All this was accompanied by extremely kind and always helpful staff. A special shout-out to the guys and Mohammed in the dining room: truly excellent! Proactive, attentive, and able to quickly understand guests and their needs. They handled all our requests promptly and professionally, significantly contributing to making every evening enjoyable. Excellent cuisine, a beautiful location, and above all, people who truly know their job. For us, one of the best surprises of this vacation. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

12/07/2026: A seafood dinner with friends. The paccheri pasta was delicious, the Ionian mixed fried fish was delicious for the main course, and the chocolate spumone was delicious for dessert. We've been coming to Puglia for four years and never miss dinner at Le Scalelle.

14/04/2026: Amazing food and friendly staff, I’ve tried only the restaurant not the hotel.

08/04/2026: Very good pizza, even better wine, excellent service, and especially—unfortunately, I don't remember the waitress's name—a slightly built waitress. Despite the language barrier, we got along perfectly. Prices are typical of regional Poland.

03/05/2026: We ate here on Labor Day (a national holiday in Italy). Because Italians mainly celebrate this day with family and friends around lunchtime, we, along with two other tourist couples, were the only guests in this restaurant. That was a shame for the atmosphere. No Italian family coziness. Anyway, we had a delicious meal! The two waiters were attentive, spoke English, and did their job well (we did have to pour the wine ourselves from the bottle, but that didn't matter). It is a beautiful place with a lovely terrace as well for the warm summer evenings that are sure to come.

19/04/2026: A superb restaurant, which in France would be considered a bistro. It was quiet out of season, the service was very pleasant, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was delicious.

06/05/2026: What a wonderful discovery this restaurant was! Beautiful setting! The food was exquisite and excellent! Friendly and attentive staff! I highly recommend this restaurant; you'll have a great time.

06/05/2026: Exquisite food, great service, great atmosphere Exquisite food, great service great atmosphere. I highly recommend I highly recommend. If you want upscale restaurant or a special occasion

18/06/2026: I happened to be in Noicattaro, so I relied on Google to find a place to eat, and it recommended this lovely restaurant with excellent staff and an excellent owner. The food was delicious, and they recommended it. What can I say? Visit it and eat at Nonna Maria's.

16/06/2026: An absolute highlight in Rutigliano! We spent a wonderful evening here. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed, and the service is incredibly warm and attentive without being intrusive. Our absolute favorite was the spaghetti all'Assassina – it was perfectly cooked, deliciously spicy, and exactly as crispy as it should be in Puglia. You can taste the love for traditional cuisine in every bite. We felt completely at ease and will definitely be back on our next visit to the region! Be sure to ask for Pino, who speaks excellent English.

04/07/2026: Impeccable service, very attentive and efficient waiters. The food is fresh and excellent quality. I ordered the lobster paccheri, absolutely delicious. I also recommend the almond and fig spumone.

01/07/2026: Service and atmosphere very good, food below average. Pizza had no taste.

13/07/2026: We chose Madonna della Stella to celebrate my husband's birthday, and we couldn't have made a better choice. The location is elegant, well-maintained, and welcoming, with an atmosphere that makes every occasion special. The staff was kind and helpful, always attentive to our needs. The owners are adorable. We enjoyed the excellent cuisine, with well-prepared, high-quality dishes, and the impeccable service. It's the ideal place to celebrate an important event or simply spend a pleasant day with friends. We will definitely return and happily recommend it.

09/07/2026: A stunning location ideal for events and celebrations. The cave is evocative, the service excellent, and they cater to food intolerances. Top!

08/06/2026: Beautiful historic building in the center of Polignano. The restaurant offers parking for guests, very convenient given the summer heat. We dined on Saturday; the appetizer was good, but the pizza was superior. Impeccable service; we thank Tomas for his patience and his ever-present smile. Recommended.

02/06/2026: We have been there more than once, the last one last Sunday for a confirmation, we ate divinely... from the appetizer to the dessert... sublime first courses, even the second courses, impeccable service.. congratulations

28/06/2026: This place is in a beautiful setting in the middle of nowhere, but conveniently just a few minutes drive from the hotel where we were staying. We had the seven course tasting menu, which was exquisite: delicious appetisers, al dente pasta, fish cooked to perfection, a meat course (skirt steak) and a little dessert to finish off. Food allergies were properly taken into account. They have an extensive list of local and international wines. Highly recommended if you are into fine dining.

07/05/2026: My favorite restaurant! An explosion of flavor and color... professionalism and friendliness... always on the rise!

18/10/2025: A quiet place where everything sounds just right. Attentive staff. In short, a great place.

05/10/2025: Magnificent farmhouse just outside Giurdignano, fantastic location. Every time we return to Salento, we can't help but stay at Megalite. The restaurant offers all the local delicacies, the staff is superb, the service impeccable, and the prices are reasonable. Thanks guys! Highly recommended!!!

28/06/2026: Excellent food, great and romantic location, young and friendly staff, just a little absent-minded, nothing that can't be easily fixed.

24/06/2026: Great food, excellent service, refined atmosphere

05/05/2026: Excellent service. The dishes were very well prepared. The meat was very good and cooked perfectly. I highly recommend it!

25/04/2026: Food was delicious, presentation excellent, service was outstanding!

29/06/2026: As the last stop on a motorcycle trip with friends, we stayed in Varazze. Friday was our last evening together, and we decided to have a seafood dinner at this restaurant, which we hadn't heard of but which was convenient because it was close to our hotel. It was a perfect choice; the dishes were exceptional, from the local sea bream to the amberjack, the prawns, and the tuna. Everything was fantastic. Special mention goes to the staff: courteous, knowledgeable, and always responsive to our requests. Compliments also to the chef and his staff: the cuisine is excellent, well worth it. We're from Ferrara, so unfortunately we'll have to stop at this one experience, but I definitely recommend this restaurant. Congratulations, keep up the good work.

27/06/2026: Quality raw materials... Maybe a little too tasty...
