I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

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.

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.

01/02/2026: Once again at Matisse And once again completely satisfied with our choice. Thanks to Mario and all his staff for the warm welcome, the always polite and friendly service, and of course for the fabulous kaleidoscope of flavors in his kitchen.

02/01/2026: It's not the first time, not surprisingly, dishes that amaze the palate, smell, and taste buds. Everything is impeccable. I have a small complaint: the place isn't well heated. I recommend a stove with a fire; it would add a touch of warmth and make the space more welcoming. In the bathroom, turning on the existing radiator would be enough.

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.

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.

17/03/2026: If you're looking for an authentic culinary experience in the heart of Salento, the Blu Notte restaurant in Lecce is a must-visit. What's immediately striking is the professionalism of the staff: an incredibly empathetic and knowledgeable team, capable of making you feel pampered from the first to the last moment with a warm yet never intrusive welcome. This attention to detail is also reflected in the impeccable cleanliness of the premises, which creates a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The strong point remains the unbeatable value: fresh ingredients, carefully prepared dishes, and intense flavors at absolutely fair prices for the quality of the offering. All this is complemented by an ideal location, perfect for enjoying a stroll among the beauties of Lecce's Baroque architecture immediately after your meal. A true gem that never disappoints!

17/03/2026: Very elegant restaurant but we were disappointed by the food. Gracious service. I had pasta with lobster which was quite nice. The sauce ofolive oil and cherry tomato was light and bright. The tail had been loosened from the shell but it was difficult to get at any other meaty bits as no special implements were provided nor finger bowls. I expect diners here are too elegant to wrestle with their shellfish. My companion had grilled swordfish which was dry. The steaks were very thin, less than a centimetre thick. That’s likely a management decision which makes the work of the kitchen staff near impossible. We ordered two contorni. Grilled mixed vegetables were tough and dry for the most part. Partly the consequence of slicing courgettes and aubergines too thinly. Partly the decision to over-grill resulting in a good looking dish at the expense of tenderness. There was a bottle of olive provided that helped. No seasoning. The other dish of aubergine salad was tasty and well seasoned from capers but served stone cold straight from the fridge. It could have been improved by serving slightly chilled or at room temperature.

13/03/2026: Excellent restaurant. Excellent seafood. Recommended.

03/03/2026: Very elegant venue, professional and friendly staff, exceptional dishes. I recommend it.

19/03/2026: Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was friendly, the people were very kind and friendly, and they also paid special attention to gluten-free options. Highly recommended.

17/03/2026: Cool spot with a relaxed vibe. Top notch ingredients + preparation + knowledge. 😊😊😊 And did I mention great wine selection? 👍🏾👍🏾

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!

28/02/2026: Nestled in the countryside of Palo del Colle, this is a well-appointed and welcoming masseria. Clean, tidy, beautiful, and tastefully furnished. The dining room is very welcoming and modern, with a garden view and new furnishings. The refined restaurant, attentive to the chef's latest creations, offers fresh, tasty, unique, and diverse dishes. It's worth visiting in the summer, however, for a more colorful visual impact and to stroll through the wonderful garden. Kudos also to the friendly and attentive staff. Recommended.

23/02/2026: Highly professional, combined with a heartfelt sense of belonging. I celebrated my 50th birthday in this refined, elegant, and, above all, warm location. I sensed this human warmth from the first meeting with the sweet Marilyn, who accompanied and guided me, thanks to her great professionalism, taste, and rare sensitivity. Nothing was left to chance: from the excellent food to the impeccable service, to the original and fun ideas that made the evening unique, tailored to me and full of emotion. Innovation combined with great professionalism are Villa Ciccorosella's strengths, but what truly makes the difference is the spirit, and I felt welcomed and celebrated. Thanks to the entire team for their excellent work, but a special thanks goes to Marilyn, an extraordinary hostess, capable of transforming an event into an indelible memory.

10/03/2026: Sunday family lunch: The food was pretty good, the prices were average, but the real problem with this place was the service. We sat down at 1:30 PM and ordered appetizers, which were finished by 3:00 PM. The main courses also arrived staggered, preventing us from eating together. Overall, we weren't impressed, so I don't think I'll return.

08/03/2026: High-end cuisine at a truly fair price. It's hard to find such a balance these days: authentic dishes, quality ingredients, and a bill that makes you want to come back right away.

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.

07/09/2025: Discovered by chance, a true delight for the palate and the eyes, just steps from Piazza Sant'Onofrio. Excellent dishes, made with fresh ingredients, carefully prepared and plated. Impeccable service, in a refined setting. Highly recommended.

01/09/2025: Top location, every dish is a work of art. Highly recommended.

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.

11/01/2026: A historic restaurant in Barletta, excellent food at a fair price. The dishes have shrunk over time, but they're still of excellent quality.

03/01/2026: Everything was wonderful, from the food to the staff to the acoustics, which weren't at all loud despite the room being full and the (good) music playing. They were very attentive to my food intolerances and very friendly. I had dinner here with my boyfriend for our anniversary and we'll definitely be back!

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.
