I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

25/07/2025: I had dinner at Tre Lanterne and, first of all, I was impressed by the location: we dined on the top-floor terrace. The food we were served was excellent quality, and the stovetop cooking was truly excellent and easy to digest. I recommend this place. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the price for dinner because I was invited, but it's definitely worth it. I recommend it.

24/07/2025: We drank a beer for €5 max, a spritz for €7.50, and paid a bill of €19.50!!!!!! I saw that we had paid for the cutlery and said I was very surprised. The waiter gave me a somewhat vague answer, telling me that the prices had gone up... Go get an ice cream at the little ice cream parlor across the street instead; it's good and very reasonable. We ate and drank in different places in Puglia (Lecce, Gallipoli, Ostuni, etc.) and we didn't feel like we'd been ripped off like we did here...

11/08/2025: A small, welcoming restaurant nestled in an alley in Ostuni. The food is excellent, with a style of preparation that sets them apart from many other local restaurants. We sampled excellent seafood. The service was friendly and attentive. The wines were good. The bill was slightly above average for what we ate, but it's definitely worth a try.

04/08/2025: The restaurant is located in a charming alley in the heart of Ostuni, with tables arranged along a picturesque staircase. The atmosphere is undoubtedly charming. The staff was also friendly and helpful, which is certainly a plus. Unfortunately, the quality of the food didn't live up to expectations. Some dishes may satisfy those unfamiliar with Apulian cuisine, but certainly not locals or those familiar with the authentic flavors of tradition. The meatballs on the menu, for example, are neither fresh nor local, but clearly frozen and of rather low quality. It's disappointing that they're also used in the so-called "orecchiette ostunesi," resulting in a result that bears little resemblance to authentic local cuisine. Furthermore, many dishes are excessively liquid, with the pasta submerged in broth, further compromising flavor and texture. I'm sorry to say this, but the experience was not a positive one. Those who choose to spend their money in a restaurant deserve authenticity and respect. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a true Apulian gastronomic experience. Fortunately, there are plenty of other good, quality, and authentic options in the area.

28/07/2025: Pranzo Perfetto alla Locanda Arcu te Pratu Di passaggio a Lecce con amici in una giornata torrida e con la città insolitamente silenziosa, ci siamo trovati alla Locanda Arcu te Pratu, un vero toccasana. Abbiamo pranzato nella sala interna climatizzata, un ambiente piacevole e sobrio che ci ha offerto un graditissimo rifugio dalla calura. Nonostante il caldo quasi insopportabile, il servizio è stato rapido, cordiale e professionale, impeccabile nel gestire le nostre richieste. I piatti, a tratti buoni e a tratti ottimi, hanno saputo sorprenderci soprattutto con le proposte fuori menù, davvero originali. Consiglio vivamente la Locanda Arcu te Pratu a chiunque cerchi un'autentica pausa di gusto rinfrescante nel cuore di Lecce! Tornerò sicuramente con la mia famiglia per far scoprire anche a loro questa perla.

27/07/2025: I had lunch with my family for the first time at this restaurant in the heart of Lecce. I found the owner, Rossana, to be very friendly and attentive to our every need. The food was excellent, expertly presented. My kids literally mopped up the sauce with bread, so good it was. The prices were normal. I highly recommend it. We'll definitely be back.
