I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

26/02/2026: A truly positive experience at this magical restaurant! All the dishes were exquisite and of excellent quality. Adequate portions. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were helpful and friendly. An impromptu birthday party for which they even provided candles, placed on a piece of delicious tiramisu. Excellent value with a welcome €9 discount. A wide variety of wines, kept at the perfect temperature. Highly recommended 💞💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼

15/02/2026: Excellent food that goes well with the great professionalism and kindness of the staff.

06/11/2025: We came here because it was recommended in the Lonely Planet guide, but when we arrived it was closed – even though Google clearly shows it as open. Please update your opening hours so we don't make a wasted trip, thank you 🙏 Update: The opening hours aren't updated in real time, it's true, but they are updated quickly if you request it, probably within 24 hours. It would be even faster to do this than to reply to comments :)

31/10/2025: Delicious! The products are amazing.

19/02/2026: A very warm welcome. We ordered wine, appetizers, and pizzas. Everything was delicious, the pizzas were made right in front of us. The waitress speaks good English, and everyone was very friendly. Highly recommended.

10/02/2026: Everything was absolutely delicious. The appetizer was a dream, and the pizza was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend trying the tiramisu — it’s the best I’ve ever eaten. The only small thing I would change is the lighting; a bit dimmer would make the atmosphere feel more romantic.

12/01/2026: One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten, and among pizzerias by the slice, it's the best!!! The flavors are different every time, although the Margherita remains my favorite. Luigi, the pizza chef, is truly EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!!!

09/01/2026: Spectacular pizzas, a wide selection including gourmet options. Warm welcome and exceptionally friendly service, atmospheric location with a stunning view. Highly recommended!

05/03/2026: I went for dinner during the week with friends and it was a wonderful surprise. The service was truly attentive, present but never intrusive. There's a truly peaceful atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy the evening without rushing. At the end of the dinner, we chatted with Stefano, who also took us to see the wine cellar: a place worth a visit, with an impressive selection of wines. It was more than just a dinner, it was a complete experience. We'll be back soon.

05/03/2026: We hadn't made a reservation for dinner at Botteghe Antiche, so a spot on the square wasn't an option. Inside, there was still room, and we had a view of the kitchen, which is always a nice sight. The dishes were delicious. We found the atmosphere a bit lacking; the service was friendly, but a bit distant.

10/02/2026: Excellent place, excellent food, excellent pizza. I recommend it to anyone who likes to eat well and spends a reasonable amount.

02/02/2026: Excellent pizzeria, the best in Terlizzi if you're looking for traditional Neapolitan pizza.

28/02/2026: I'm still sitting here at the table, completely satisfied with my lunch at La Pignata. Friendly service, excellent cuisine, and good music. A relaxed atmosphere and attentive, smiling service, even accommodating requests for variations, like my amazing spaghetti with mussels in white sauce, with just 3 or 4 cherry tomatoes... exceptional! 😍 Thanks to all the staff, I'll take home so much pleasure!

06/01/2026: We went with a group of 26 friends to lunch at this delightful little restaurant in the heart of Otranto on January 3, 2026. We were welcomed by Mrs. Doriana with warmth and kindness. The food and price were excellent. I highly recommend it.

16/03/2026: The "Ritrovo degli ostinati" is objectively a charming and well-kept place. Sincere praise goes to the wait staff: extremely friendly, smiling, and welcoming. Unfortunately, kindness is priceless, and the dining experience was a complete disaster, made worse by an absolutely unjustifiable final bill. We started with two five-course appetizers for the modest sum of €15 each. Except for the eggplant roulade and the pulled pork puff pastry, which were considered "acceptable," the rest was beyond comment. We were served a very hard, bitter-tasting cheese ball that was literally impossible to swallow; a microscopic sample of fava beans and chicory; and a beetroot soufflé completely ruined by the stracciatella cheese placed on top, which leaked water and watered down the entire dish. The situation with the first courses was even worse. The "Pacchero degli Ostinati" (€12) was presented as nine half-paccheri, counted and completely unrelated to the sauce: a swill of stracciatella water, chopped pistachios, and chunks of mortadella (that tasted like a discount store) thrown on top haphazardly. Not to mention the "Special Plate" (€14): braised meat ravioli floating in another swill, the nature of which was unclear, dusted with an unknown green powder. The final blow came at the cash register: €70 total for two appetizers, two first courses, two waters, and one glass of rosé. A completely disproportionate amount given the meager portions, the low-quality ingredients, and the total lack of technique in the dishes. I'm giving it two stars solely to acknowledge the excellent work of the staff in the dining room and the ambiance. The kitchen needs a complete overhaul. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We acknowledge your response, even though we find the tone a bit excessive. We want to clarify that not stirring up a controversy at the table was a gesture of discretion, not of deceit: we preferred not to ruin the atmosphere of the restaurant, reserving the right time to reflect on the situation with a cool head. Regarding the mortadella, our opinion referred exclusively to the perceived flavor on the palate, which we found disappointing, not up to expectations, regardless of the brand used. Paying €35 per person for the combination of dishes described remains, in our experience, an unsatisfactory quality-price ratio. It's unfortunate that honest feedback was perceived as a personal attack rather than the opinion of customers who, despite their young age, have the right to evaluate what they eat. Kind regards.

15/03/2026: The location is beautiful and the service is friendly, but we were very disappointed with the food. For the prices, we expected the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in the dishes to be of a much higher standard. Unfortunately, we ate poorly and infrequently (seven ravioli on a plate in one first course, while in the other "Pacchero dell'ostinato" nine paccheri that were supposed to be with stracciatella, mortadella, and pistachio but were watery and soupy). The bill was disproportionate to the amount served. A real shame, given that the atmosphere and hospitality are lovely.

28/02/2026: Enchanting place, excellent food, excellent service, a special thanks to Diana who welcomed us, pampered us and delighted us, to recommend and return, TOP!

28/02/2026: We often eat at this magical place and it never disappoints: excellent cuisine, classy service, a splendid atmosphere, a beautiful central location, and a truly special wine cellar, also ideal for celebrating special occasions!

17/09/2025: A truly enchanting place... the most beautiful place for a ceremony! Excellent food and incredibly kind staff, attentive and meticulous in every detail... I fell in love with it...

07/09/2025: We got married on August 2, 2025. The reception hall was wonderful, with an elegant and refined exterior and a fabulous interior. The staff was incredibly professional. We will never forget your kindness and the passion you have for your work. Mr. Angelo D'anzi, the owner, was wonderful, kind, and available to us and our guests. Thanks again. Highly recommended.

27/09/2025: It's hard to imagine a more beautiful place for a wonderful dinner. The food itself – mainly fish and seafood – is truly excellent, and the price-performance ratio is excellent. The freshly baked, delicious bread is also a real highlight. Add to that the fantastic atmosphere and the attentive service, and you'll have a truly unforgettable experience. But the tables with your feet in the sand are the icing on the cake. We'd love to come back! Grazie mille!

25/09/2025: Dinner for two on the veranda overlooking the beach. We chose the tasting menu and were very pleased with the fresh ingredients and excellent preparation.

14/03/2026: Giuseppe welcomes you warmly and adds to the evening's charm. The food is fresh and tasty, and the price and quality go hand in hand! I highly recommend trying it!

10/03/2026: The cavatelli was great and the orichchiete would have been wonderful if the braciola didn't have fat. The lean meat is much better. I'd give it a 4 for that reason.

05/01/2026: Disappointing food, New Year's Eve dinner costing €60 per person, I don't understand how the restaurant has such high reviews, they're fake

10/12/2025: I had lunch with my family on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. It was a pleasant discovery: excellent food, impeccable service, and a very small and intimate location worth revisiting. Recommended.

28/02/2026: Perfect Italian restaurant. Best class. Recommend with two hands. Pleasant atmosphere and delicious dishes.

25/02/2026: Incredible!! I highly recommend this place, we've been there several times and have never been disappointed.

19/01/2026: The fish is incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. I recommend the sea bass in a potato and olive crust. Excellent! I'm back to this welcoming restaurant in the historic center of Lecce, under Porta San Biagio. The food is high-quality and well-prepared. The table service is also excellent, courtesy and empathy from Alessio and Francesco. Andrea's warm welcome was professional, courteous, and kind. The quality/price ratio is truly excellent. A must-try if you're in Lecce. Compliments, highly recommended.

18/01/2026: Disappointing! I hadn't been to this restaurant in a while. Unfortunately, the menu and the dishes were disappointing. The Blunotte linguine with stracciatella and shrimp tartare had a predominantly buttery flavor, and the fried ingredients were not crispy and had a strong oily taste. We asked for a change of pasta (fresh tagliolini) but were denied as it was unavailable. The desserts weren't satisfying either... The location appears dim and cramped. Our table was wedged into a recess with the chairs literally attached to those of the next table, making it cramped and suffocating. Courtesy of the staff. Needs improvement...
