I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

02/08/2026: Delicious food. Good service. Amazing location. I always start my Apulia vacation here. Highly recommend ❤️🔥

26/07/2026: We wanted to come for a special fish supper for our last night in Italy so chose La Battigia as it had some good reviews. Sadly the evening was very disappointing.....rude, offhand, slow service especially from the lead waiter outside. He never smiled and literally plonked the food down , no grace. We waited a long time to have our order taken and then the starter arrived before we had got our wine and it wasn't particularly busy !! They served the fried calamari without any fresh lemon which I found odd.....🤔. The tuna steak wasn't properly seared and was chewy. We had FAR nicer fish suppers at other less prestigious restaurants on our Italian holiday. As we were leaving a smart young couple arrived in a big car, parked right outside the restaurant blocking a busy road, left their hazard lights on and then came and sat down for a meal .....seemed to us that this place was more about style than substance. Avoid ....and go to a more authentic, friendly restaurant.

10/05/2026: We had a wonderful experience at Masseria Li Monaci. The property is simply enchanting: every space is meticulously designed, with an authentic atmosphere that breathes true Salento in every corner. From the tranquility of the masseria to the immaculately maintained outdoor spaces, everything exudes warmth, elegance, and tradition. The cuisine was one of the things we appreciated most: authentic dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic local flavors. Each course reflects the passion and love for Salento cuisine, with flavors that are both authentic and refined. A special thanks also goes to all the staff, always smiling, helpful, and attentive to every need. The owner is truly kind and welcoming, making guests feel at home from the very first moment. We absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience the most authentic Salento, combining relaxation, excellent food, and impeccable hospitality. We'll definitely be back!

12/02/2026: The staff were very welcoming and courteous. The entire property displays great care and attention to detail. The suite with a pool is simply stunning, as well as very quaint. Even though it wasn't high season, our stay was still very pleasant, and the property is in top form. Plus, it boasts an excellent sea view. Definitely not to be missed if you're near Otranto.

23/08/2026: Terrible service!!!!! I strongly advise against it. The wait is endless and the staff is rude and impolite.

22/08/2026: Good pizzas, terrible service. Few waiters and long waits for pizza, dessert, and liqueur.

18/08/2026: Very friendly and kind proletarian! Amazing pizza! Wonderful location! Congratulations!

15/08/2026: A nice quiet place with great food

13/08/2026: In the setting of a charming and unique village, Vite Colta welcomes us with an authentic Salento menu and excellent wines of their own production. Authentic, traditional flavors. Excellent portions and a fair price-quality ratio. One "flaw" is the long wait between courses: even though it was the Ferragosto holiday, the wait was over an hour between appetizers and main courses. Absolutely recommended!

13/08/2026: We ate terribly. The food was saltless, heavy, and too wintery. Everything had no flavor. The bread was hard, the appetizers were small and bland. We couldn't order the main courses because the owner told us after we'd eaten the first courses that they were sold out. I should point out that we sat down at 9:20 PM, and by 10:00 PM, the main courses were already gone, but the pasta was still overcooked. The service was too informal and unprofessional. Overall, a terrible experience.

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

24/08/2026: Croissant from the day before, immodesty at the highest exaggerated price

09/08/2026: This place was saved by its decent prices and friendlier-than-average waiters. Prices have gone up in recent years, and the waiters seem to hate you for the way they look at you and speak to you. A good portion of the place has been renovated, but I don't think it was necessary; perhaps the money would have been better spent on hiring decent waiters and avoiding raising prices.

12/08/2026: Super cute location, so different from the other hotels in the area. You can clearly see the attention to design and the young people behind it! The dishes are delicious and especially refined, but the fish flavor remains the same! One of the best restaurants during our stay in Lesina! If you have to choose a place for lunch or dinner, I would 100% choose this one!

10/08/2026: Very nice and helpful waiters, but it's really absurd that a restaurant in a seaside town with the port just a few meters away has such a poor seafood menu! We had a seafood risotto that was not only overcooked and soupy but also had practically only 4 mussels... The fried fish wasn't bad, although we struggled to peel the shrimp because they were a bit dry! A real shame!

23/08/2026: Everything was delicious and the staff was super attentive and delightful!

22/08/2026: Very welcoming, delicious food 😋

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.

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)

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!

04/06/2026: Everything was very tasty. The service was good, and the prices were in line with the quality.

27/01/2026: excellent place, good service, not bad value for money

06/08/2026: A family lunch, simply excellent! The grilled fish was delicious! Very good value for money. I highly recommend it.

29/07/2026: The food was not very pleasant (pieces of horse meat, cold chicory) and the service was almost standard.

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.
