I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

23/07/2025: Locale grazioso e cibo buono anche se senza punti di eccellenza. Note negative il fatto che il cameriere ha ordinato i secondi senza consultarci ed il conto è stato , sia pur di non molto, superiore a quanto sarebbe stato giusto per ciò che abbiamo mangiato.

11/07/2025: Il ristorante Sciaia a Mare deve gran parte del suo successo allo chef Carlo, la cui maestria in cucina si riflette in ogni piatto. La qualità degli ingredienti e l’attenzione ai dettagli rendono ogni portata, sia di pesce che di carne, un’esperienza eccellente. Carlo è un vero artista gastronomico, capace di coniugare tradizione e innovazione con grande equilibrio. Il personale cortese e professionale completa l’esperienza in un locale spazioso, pulito e accogliente. A tutti gli effetti, Carlo può essere considerato l’“Antonino Cannavacciuolo di Brindisi”.

06/09/2025: The food is simply delicious, prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients that enhance each dish with authentic flavors. The staff is extremely courteous and attentive, always ready to accommodate customers' needs with a smile. The welcome is warm and familiar, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel immediately at home. A place I absolutely recommend for those seeking good food and hospitality. This evening we were served by Maria, a very kind woman who gave us excellent advice!

06/09/2025: A charming spot on the outskirts of Galatina, ideal for a late summer evening. We chose to dine al fresco, nestled in a charming citrus grove that offers a unique atmosphere, made even more pleasant by the smiling, attentive, and surprisingly thoughtful staff: our every need was met on the fly, with ease and professionalism. The pizzas we enjoyed were simply delicious: light dough, fresh and abundant ingredients, rich and generous toppings that captivate from the first bite. The dishes at the neighboring tables were no less inviting: first courses released irresistible aromas and were presented so beautifully that they immediately made you want to try them. The prices are in line with the quality offered, and the general and unjustified price increases are not cheap. Ultimately, a place worth discovering and savoring to the fullest. Personally, I would return without hesitation... and I'm eager to try the rest of the menu.

11/09/2025: This restaurant is one of the best I've ever eaten at! The food is well served and the staff is very attentive, especially "Leyla" who speaks fluent French. It surprised me and I was able to ask all the questions I wanted! TOP!

10/09/2025: Amazing service, excellent wine recommendations and we had two delicious pastas. Would 100% recommend!

10/09/2025: Always like at home: quality, taste and kindness.

09/09/2025: Don't look at other reviews, you eat very well and the price is right... by chance but we got it right!!!

11/07/2025: Welcoming place, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Varied menu

06/07/2025: I recommend going there to spend a nice evening in a delightful atmosphere and good food.

25/08/2025: We stayed at this magical masseria three days ago for my birthday. The location is stunning, beautiful, surrounded by greenery, and meticulously cared for down to the smallest detail! The food was superb, simple but cooked to perfection. The owner, Irene, was incredibly kind and helpful, and even sweet enough to bring me a cake with a candle because she knew it was my birthday. We'll be back soon, perhaps during the day, so we can see the animals better. Thank you for everything!

25/08/2025: A very charming and beautifully decorated location; attentive, professional, and unobtrusive staff; a fixed menu with a few twists compared to other competitors; kudos to Mrs. Irene, the heart of the Masseria. The price is in line with the offerings. Worth the trip.

07/09/2025: A lovely restaurant, where we had cream-filled mozzarella and octopus with potatoes as an appetizer. Followed by spaghetti all'a&a&a&ina. We found everything very tasty and reasonably priced. The desserts were also good. They have a very extensive menu, truly something for all tastes.

07/09/2025: Everything is always good. I really enjoyed the roast octopus.

26/08/2025: Well-run pizzeria restaurant, Very fast and accurate service. Everything was good, from appetizers to main courses, and the pizza was excellent too.

25/08/2025: The food is excellent, the staff is very helpful, the place is beautiful

25/08/2025: A truly special dinner The impeccable service Enzo provided a fantastic welcome The food...what more can I say? 😋

25/08/2025: Great trattoria, they always took care of my special requests. Great pasta, fish. Went a few times.

06/09/2025: Never eaten such great spaghetti before. Simple but sensational! Perfect!

30/08/2025: Excellent pizza!!! The sliced ​​meat was very poor, not very good, and was masked by too much salad and fries on the plate... Anyway, the appetizers are TOP!

19/08/2025: We stayed there for 9 nights, although the service is very good, the pool is great, it should also be noted that the pool umbrellas are ridiculously small, and there are not enough deckchairs. While there is plenty of space, especially on the lawn nearby where it would be nice to have some shaded spots! If only for the children. In the old-fashioned rooms, the internet is random, the mixer tap in the room is faulty, and the soundproofing is poor. It is impossible to eat or drink at the pool without going back to the hotel, as there is no service provided at the pool, which is otherwise very beautiful. It is a real shame!

19/08/2025: Lovely hotel, great location, fantastic pool. Disappointing restaurant (both service and food), would not recommend having a meal there.

10/08/2025: A perfect experience in every way! The property is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The rooms are spacious and equipped with every comfort. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious. The pool is gorgeous and available to guests. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

10/08/2025: Masseria San Biagio is a place that captivates from the first moment: immersed in the Salento countryside, it offers a genuine and relaxing atmosphere. The property is meticulously maintained, with spaces that reflect local history and tradition, yet equipped with every modern comfort. The staff is simply exceptional: friendly, helpful, and always ready to make every guest feel at home, with a sincere smile and exceptional attention. The location is ideal for those who want to discover both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, as well as the characteristic villages of the hinterland. An experience that combines nature, culture, and relaxation: it's impossible not to want to return!

25/08/2025: A very welcoming and elegant place. Exquisite staff and excellent cuisine. Definitely worth returning.

23/08/2025: Chef with a thousand resources, who together with the staff, personally takes care of the dishes and the location, making the environment and the food unique and special. Highly recommended.

09/09/2025: We're originally from the area, and since we still have relatives nearby, we often return in the summer. With fond memories of a dinner there in 2019, we decided to return to what, at the time, seemed like an excellent restaurant with excellent value. We booked for 1:00 PM. Once we arrived, the place looked exactly as we remembered. As soon as we were seated, we weren't presented with a menu. Perhaps out of naivety or trust, we believed they had the same fixed menu for everyone like years ago. The appetizers arrived: a rather anonymous selection of cold cuts, pancetta, salami, and a parmigiana terrine. Nothing like the flavors and quality we remembered. At 1:30 PM, the place was full. At that point, the waiter asked us for patience: the kitchen would "align" with the other tables that had just arrived. We, convinced there was a fixed menu, understood and patiently accepted, even though it seemed strange. From here on, a frenzy like never before began. Because the kitchen was open, most of the diners could see what was happening inside. A constant coming and going of people seemingly unrelated to the staff, laughter, jokes, confusion. The staff seemed completely disconnected from reality, as if they didn't even own the place. Some customers got up to get water themselves (perhaps all relatives?). The cooks looked agitated. A package of pasta was opened and fell to the floor (let's hope it wasn't the same pasta we ate later). Meanwhile, the diners in the dining room, growing increasingly impatient, awaited the first course. The waiter's only comment was: "Don't look at me, it's only 3:30, we've only just started." At 3:30, the first course finally arrived: orecchiette with a single piece of cardoncello mushroom each. The table behind us finds a piece of plastic on their plate, which turns out to be part of the pasta packaging, as the waiter himself admitted (and the question of the fallen pasta returns). Meanwhile, two impatient tables ask for the bill and leave; we do the same, explaining that we've been there since 1 PM and that we need to get back to start preparing for our trip home. The waiter, in a rude and indifferent tone, "invites" us to stay because "everything is arriving," and also tells us to say hello to his aunt (up north), as if to say "Hello to so...". Convinced to get up, in 10 minutes they bring us EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME: 1) a second "taste" of the first course each with asparagus 2) 8 strips of tagliata to share between three, so tough that not even the dog wanted them. On the side, old and wilted arugula, probably forgotten in the fridge. 3) 1 pineapple and peach segment each. 4) 3 reheated puff pastry pastries. Finally, we were presented with a receipt listing the total of 120 euros, with no details about the menu chosen, only the "cover charge" section. Feeling nervous, we politely asked if he thought the service was 40 euros per person. He responded, "You ate everything, the price should be even more." I'll spare you the final details for privacy reasons and unprovable insinuations, but nevertheless, with great difficulty and always with a general sense of rudeness, we finally managed to smooth out the cost situation and bring out the menu (because there is a menu!) with the words "NEW MANAGEMENT" written on it. The menu offers various options, starting from 18 euros up to 40. Probably mistaking us for passing tourists, they saw us as a classic cash cow. Given the QUALITY, the TREATMENT RECEIVED, and the cost, we can only say: AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. Catering is a whole different ballgame! And if you're someone who can't stand rudeness and arrogance, avoid it twice. We, with no small effort, kept our cool and handled everything diplomatically, but between the arrogant responses and sarcastic jokes, I assure you it was truly difficult not to completely lose our temper.

05/09/2025: Small but well-maintained. Excellent food. Appetizers with a wide selection of well-prepared local products. Friendly staff, always ready to answer any questions. We tried a wonderful homemade fig compote. Delicious desserts.

16/08/2025: We went on the recommendation of a friend from Puglia, but we didn't think it would be this good! They welcomed us warmly and served us a wonderful dinner! We tried a mixed appetizer, tubettini pasta with scorpion fish, seared tuna, and finally granita and gelato. We'll definitely be back.

09/08/2025: decent food, good service, but high prices, for a restaurant... two starters, two first courses and a second course cost us more than 90 euros, not even a reception room costs that much... and then what a hassle the stains and the ones that pass in front of us|
