I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

28/07/2026: It's not easy to find a place that captivates you from start to finish. Pizzeria Cristel in Oria easily manages this, thanks to the quality of its products, a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel instantly welcome, and extraordinary attention to gluten-free options. The owners are always available, kind, and attentive to each customer's needs—qualities that truly make a difference these days. For those looking for a gluten-free place, Cristel is a guarantee. The gluten-free puccia is truly exceptional: soft, tasty, and prepared with great care, so much so that it doesn't disappoint. The attention paid to those following a gluten-free diet is evident. The Frutta Realita was also a pleasant surprise: a dessert crafted down to the smallest detail, with a delicate, balanced, and never heavy flavor, perfect for a light-hearted end to a meal. A place I highly recommend to anyone looking for quality, professionalism, and excellent gluten-free options. Kudos to the entire staff: you can sense their passion, care, and love for their work in every detail.

06/06/2026: An evening with friends...and a good pizza 🍕

10/07/2026: Very nice venue for events. I recommend it.

29/06/2026: Yesterday was a very important day, we celebrated our son Nicolò's 18th birthday, it was a stratospheric party thanks to all the staff at Arcade ricevimenti and to Vito and the great DJ Luca Santeramo the best. 🎉🎊🤩🤩🤩🤩

12/08/2026: Excellent restaurant in beautiful Lecce, we dined outside preferring the view of the amphitheater to the air conditioning inside, excellent raw fish with explanation of the salts by the maître Antonio, always smiling and never intrusive, who also recommended a Negramaro rosé that paired well with the dish, the grilled octopus and the ceviche also left us satisfied, spectacular bread and to finish, homemade desserts, compliments for the professionalism.

11/08/2026: Drawn by the desire to eat seafood "with style," we chose this restaurant in the heart of Lecce. The location is meticulously maintained, the service excellent, and the food, expertly cooked and presented, is even more excellent.

07/02/2026: A truly wonderful business stay. From the warm welcome upon arrival by Mr. Angelo, to the elegance of the property. The room was elegant and beautifully furnished. I look forward to staying there again.

09/12/2025: Five of us went to this restaurant for a family lunch and had a truly wonderful time. The experience was incredibly positive: quick and attentive service, and the waiter was extremely friendly and always available. We were also impressed by the food; everything was delicious and carefully prepared. The professionalism of the entire staff was evident. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

25/03/2026: The outdoor area is stunning: the pool area is spacious, modern, and meticulously designed. Perfect for an evening aperitif, it offers an elegant and evocative atmosphere thanks to the play of light on the water. An ideal setting for dynamic events and impressive outdoor buffets.

18/01/2026: EVERYTHING EXCEPTIONAL... A PLACE IMMERSED IN NATURE... VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL AND EVOCATIVE... THE TOP RESTAURANT... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

01/06/2026: We don't recommend eating here. The service is unfortunately very slow and overwhelmed. The food is okay, but the price-performance ratio is terrible. The portions are tiny. You don't get much for your money. The fries and salad taste good. All the dishes are okay, but nothing special, nothing like what you'd expect from Italian cuisine.

31/05/2026: The best Vongole 👌. A true explosion of fresh seafood flavors, made with exceptionally fresh clams. Combined with a great location and authentic charm, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

13/08/2026: A thrilling experience for the eyes and the palate. The restaurant overlooks the Trani dock, enveloping you with the scent of the sea. Impeccable service, the perfect table setting: Murano glasses add a pop of color to a white-clad table. High-quality products, the freshest fish, plating that delights the eye, and flavors that tickle the palate. The restaurant is located in the lovely pedestrian area of ​​Trani's harbor, but this offers the opportunity to take a nice stroll and enjoy the view of the basilica and the fortress. Excellent value, and if you book through The Fork you also get a 20% discount. I recommend booking. We'll be back!!!

12/08/2026: Elaborate dishes, but with fish that isn't freshly caught and lacking a hint of the sea. Good service, but poor-quality ingredients. Little attention to intolerances. Poor value for money.

26/06/2026: Too pretentious. The location is beautiful in the Muro Leccese square, but the service and food are poor.

12/06/2026: Extremely fresh and high-quality fish, excellent preparation, friendly and efficient staff, prices below expectations.

24/12/2025: I'm shocked, disappointed, and very, very bitter... two proseccos (no particular brand), a plate of raw fish (an oyster, a shrimp, and two scampi), plus two other small plates of various things (cold, by the way, including some fried food)... Basically, everything to share, nothing calculated for two! Total €70... basically two aperitifs for €35 per person, the cost of a dinner in a pinch... I understand it's Christmas Eve, but increasing the price like this is truly illegal... half an hour to be so bled... I don't think I'll be back, not even for a coffee, because I felt truly cheated, never mind Christmas wishes... What a disappointment...

16/11/2025: I go to this bar exclusively for the products which are of good quality especially the really good croissants, but unfortunately I have to give one star because it is not the first time it happens, I am referring to the waitress Alina who served me the croissants and then made me pay, a piece of advice, education and empathy are the basis of this job, I enter saying hello and I barely get a response, a desire to work equal to 0, and after having paid even worse, if you do not want to be in contact with people, you are asked to change jobs, because the image of the place depends on it, which I repeat is TRULY EXCELLENT

11/04/2026: I recently visited this sushi restaurant and the overall experience was truly positive. The food deserves a solid 4/5: the fish was fresh and beautifully presented, with a good variety of dishes on the menu. Some of the dishes were truly excellent, although there's still room for improvement to reach absolute excellence. The service, however, was impeccable (5/5). The staff was friendly, attentive, and always available, without ever being intrusive. Wait times were short, and everything was handled with great professionalism. The ambiance is another strong point (5/5): a refined, elegant, and relaxing place, perfect for both a romantic dinner and an evening with friends. The atmosphere truly contributes to a pleasant experience. In conclusion, a restaurant I definitely recommend, especially for those looking for quality, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. 🍣 Compliments to the staff

06/02/2026: Excellent restaurant in the heart of Corigliano d'Otranto. The all-you-can-eat menu is excellent, with excellent value and dishes that are both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. The staff is attentive to detail, friendly, and very professional. We had a wonderful, relaxing evening with friends. I will definitely be back.

26/07/2026: Quite a bad experience! Terrible service!!! Absolutely not to be repeated!!!

05/07/2026: Everything was very positive, we will be back.

09/05/2026: The food is excellent, I highly recommend the risotto with bisque and prawn tartare.

29/03/2026: Wonderful restaurant, the food is divine, the service is fast, the staff is very friendly, the prices are more than fair, and the portions are generous, just the way we like them. We'll be happy to return 😍😍😍

20/07/2026: I'd been following the restaurant's Instagram page for a while and, drawn by their posts, last Saturday I decided to try it with three dear friends. Our expectations were definitely met: Il Piccio proved to be a must-visit for anyone passing through Minervino Murge. We opted for the dinner menu, which, at the incredible price of €25 per person, offers a comprehensive and generous selection of traditional local flavors. The Appetizer: We start off strong with local products. The cheeses stand out, with an excellent scamorza, a very fresh ricotta, and a delicious, juicy mozzarella. Among the cured meats, an exceptional capocollo deserves an honorable mention, a spicy salami with a kick of its own, and a truly delicious artisanal treat reminiscent of cotechino. Everything is accompanied by a warm focaccia of their own production and the inevitable traditional delicacies: bread balls and cucoli (delicious little fried dough balls), perfect for pairing with the cured meats. The house red wine, with its strong and intense flavor, perfectly complemented this first course. La Brace (the main course): The meat is the absolute star. We were served a perfectly cooked mix with the unmistakable marks of real embers: Donkey sausage with an incredible and deep flavor. Succulent pork shoulder. Classic sausage and tender horse meat strips. The masterful touch? The selected cuts are served on a bed of potatoes enriched with long green peppers: a side dish that captures all the juices and flavors of the embers, becoming something extraordinary. In summary: Excellent raw materials, respect for tradition, and a final price (€25 per person) that is honestly rare for such quality and quantity. I will definitely be back! Tip for travelers: We highly recommend booking well in advance, especially for Saturday evenings, as the place is rightfully very popular. Price per person: €20-30 (fixed menu €25) Recommended dishes: Mixed grilled meats on a bed of potatoes and green peppers, Cucoli (a type of sausage), and mixed Murgia antipasti.

14/06/2026: Everything was excellent, we had a great time. The owner was fantastic, the staff was kind and professional. We felt at ease. Highly recommended.

05/07/2026: I've been here two years in a row. This year I came back because my friends and I had good memories, but unfortunately it was anything but pleasant. We dined outside, and after dinner, we needed to use the bathrooms inside. Five of us went upstairs to the first floor of the restaurant where the bathroom is, and we were yelled at like 10-year-olds because, "You can't have so many people go upstairs to use the bathroom." This was just one of the things a guy who works there shouted at us, and he had no respect for us, perhaps thinking we were talking to some of his friends from his group. After we tried to explain that no one had told us it couldn't be done (not even if we'd decided to play hide-and-seek inside the restaurant), he continued to raise his voice in front of all the customers... shame on them and the embarrassment THEY made in front of everyone. After paying the bill, we got up to leave, and as we were walking away, this very nice and polite young man started asking his colleague loudly if we had gotten up without paying. I don't think there's a greater lack of respect towards a customer who is paying for a service that YOU should be able to provide at your best. I emphasize that we are nine 30-year-olds who have always worked in the restaurant industry and who know very well what respect is and how to show it. Perhaps you should review your staff, because unfortunately, you're losing a lot of points because of this. The only positive note is the girls in the dining room, who were professional.

05/07/2026: The food was quite good, but the experience was completely ruined by the treatment we received from the staff inside. The girls who served us were always kind and helpful. When it was time to use the bathroom, we were stopped and rudely yelled at, in a completely inappropriate tone. Shortly afterward, a very young waiter came up to check on us, questioning us for no reason, and then raised his voice at one of us. There were nine of us at a table of six, but we didn't cause any problems or make any demands. We had already paid the bill, and as we were leaving, the same waiter loudly asked a colleague if we had paid, making us feel further accused. We're a group of quiet adults; we waited a long time for both our table and our pizzas: truly rude and inexcusable treatment.

01/07/2026: Right on the Otranto seafront. This alone is worth stopping here. Excellent pizzas.

01/07/2026: Lovely place, excellent food, I recommend the ravioli filled with prawns and courgettes (very good and plentiful)
