I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

22/07/2025: Cena tipica immersi nella pace. Sono in gravidanza ed il personale è stato estremamente gentile e attento. Servizio eccellente e molto veloce. Consiglio l’antipasto misto, il purè di fave e ottima anche la carne. Bellissima esperienza

18/07/2025: Agriturismo salentino con piatti tipici locali ben preparati. Dall'antipasto al dolce. A Veglie, poco distante da porto Cesareo.

24/09/2025: Excellent experience in every way.

12/09/2025: Great restaurant frequented by locals. Meat specialists, and it showed. The quality of the food was superb, with large portions and extremely competitive prices. Good service. We went there twice. If you're in Martina Franca and like meat, you really need to try this superb, family-run restaurant. Great restaurant frequented by locals. Meat specialists, and it showed.

If you're in Martina Franca and like meat, you absolutely need to try this superb, family-run restaurant.

13/10/2025: We sat in the small area of outdoor tables in front of the restaurant. The weather was cool and windy but this spot in the sun was sheltered and made for a wonderful afternoon lunch. We had a delicious pizza but the highlight was the tuna tartar on creamed avocado. Service was excellent with the staff tirelessly climbed the stairs from the outdoor seating to the kitchen.

12/10/2025: Delicious food, great service, beautiful views. The orecchiette with broccoli turnip was superb, and the pizza was amazing. I recommend it.

13/09/2025: We ordered two pizzas, and they were quick to prepare, even though it was Saturday night. The pizzas were cooked perfectly, the dough melts in your mouth, light and airy around the edges. I asked for advice on a pizza, wanting to try something different. They suggested the "DELIZIOSA" pizza, which includes plenty of stracciatella, prosciutto, walnuts, olive oil, and basil. What can I say? Truly delicious, we were extremely satisfied. Kindness and courtesy accompany the deliveries.

22/08/2025: The best pizza in Puglia!! 🤩 We tried the Diavola and the Romagnola, and both were incredible. Fast and very friendly service! 100% recommended.

28/10/2025: Nothing special and nothing good

15/10/2025: Disappointing compared to the reviews and the prices charged. Spaghetti alla vongole, more than al dente, too salty, shriveled shellfish with little flavor. Carpaccio of red shrimp, supposed to be with poppy seeds, just coarse salt and a piece of lemon. No explanation for the antipasti served according to the chef's choice, which were good.

26/09/2025: After a long time, I've been thinking about it, and I'm finally giving my overall opinion, my review, of this place. Let's start with the assumption that, as described, it's an Osteria, and therefore should be compared to other establishments in its category. Both in the distant past and more recently, I've frequented it hundreds of times, from simply enjoying a simple but excellent pizza to convivial gatherings with family, friends, and dignitaries. It has never betrayed my trust. Never. At the Osteria of Maurizio and Letizia Protopapa, people I respect for their professionalism and great availability, it feels like being at home, in the best sense of the word, with the added bonus of good, typical local cuisine that's always fresh and plentiful, regardless of whether you're a regular or a passing tourist. They make no distinction, and I've always noticed this over time. Let's start by judging their "simple" mixed fried food and long potato panzerotti as a centerpiece. It seems simple, but there's art to it. To move on, even though we rarely order them, to the mixed seafood appetizers. For my tastes, the highlight is the sagne ncannulate (a sort of fresh pasta fettuccine rolled and closed at the ends), especially served with tomato sauce and horse meat strips, and then topped with a variety of seasonal accompaniments, such as today's fresh porcini mushrooms. The main courses are varied and always plentiful, from various types of roasted meat, pieces of horse meat in tomato sauce, quality cheeses and cured meats, fried fish, and more. They offer a wide selection of wines, both mid-range and high-end. The selection of beers is equally extensive, and finally, there's a wide selection of spirits to choose from. The price is very fair for the quality and quantity of food. My heartfelt compliments to Maurizio and Letizia, as well as to the kitchen staff, Salvatore and Antonio.

23/09/2025: Excellent value for money, very varied menu, in summer it is very pleasant to be hosted in the ancient side street

27/09/2025: What a great little bakery right by the water in Monopoli. The grottoes and swimming areas are right by it, so you can come and get something delicious before or after a swim. I tried their panzerotti, sfoglia and focaccia. All of were good, but the best way the focaccia with onions. So good, even for takeaway.

06/09/2025: Very good focaccia but not very welcoming staff

14/07/2025: Abbiamo scelto a caso questo ristorante ed siamo stati fortunati poiché erano rimasti solo due posti. Ottimo il servizio .per quello che abbiamo ordinato era molto buono. Da ritornarci.

12/07/2025: Hemos estado aquí muchas, muchas veces y siempre es maravilloso. El servicio es siempre atento y la comida siempre deliciosa.

06/10/2025: Very good location right on the waterfront, unfortunately the service is terrible, which spoils the whole positive impression, the order is not fully fulfilled, the cashiers get offended, the bartender throws cutlery - I do not recommend!

06/10/2025: 2 excellent dishes with dessert for 30 euros per head. Very good address.

05/10/2025: Great place and excellent food experience !!

18/09/2025: Booked in advance and arrived on time and seated at nice table. Waited 20 mins and nobody been near to offer drink etc- had to go and ask for some service. Everything was average basically due to too many customers and not enough staff - will not return.

16/09/2025: Very good pizzas and a great welcome!

01/09/2025: The puccia I ate was good. Service was good. Price and quality weren't bad.

08/09/2025: Total disappointment, the quality of the food was really poor.

26/08/2025: A detour to enjoy excellent pizza and shrimp-filled ravioli with amberjack tartare. The house-produced rosé wine is excellent. For dessert, a pasticciotto with Salento-style coffee. All at a super reasonable price considering the wonderful setting we ate in. Next time, I'll be even more hungry to try other local dishes.

10/07/2025: Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Il posto é bellissimo, immerso nella natura. Il personale è molto gentile, un consiglio: provate le patatine fritte che sono artigianali!!!

07/07/2025: Ottima esperienza in questo posto consigliatoci da amici della zona. Pesce freschissimo, qualità e attenzione agli ospiti, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Ci sono piaciuti tutti i piatti dagli antipasti ai primi ai secondi di pesce. Anche i dolci squisiti e particolari. Grazie per questa serata di gusti che ci porteremo a casa

28/09/2025: Very friendly staff, good food (in my opinion, the best pizza by the lake) at a fair price, and a great view! I've been coming back for years!👍🫶🏼

27/09/2025: Good food on a lovely terrace. Fair value for money.

28/09/2025: A very well-kept and beautiful place both inside and out. Unfortunately, the only downside is the pizzas. The dough was very tough, probably not risen properly; you'd need a chainsaw to cut them. The selection of toppings wasn't particularly appealing. Only the gourmet bruschetta was good. The quality/price ratio was average.

21/09/2025: An evening to forget. The problem wasn't the food, but the absurd disrespect shown to the customers: they made us sit between the two bathroom doors. I pointed this out to the waitress, but she didn't do a thing to resolve the situation. I only stayed because we were among the first to arrive, and I already knew I'd be leaving within twenty minutes, and so I was. It wasn't an oversight, but a deliberate choice: to fill two extra seats, sacrificing the dignity of the people. This isn't hospitality, it's greed. A restaurant that treats its customers like this doesn't deserve it.
