I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

19/10/2025: We went to Passione Mare Chef Miky last night, Saturday, October 18, 2025. We started with a delicious plate of pittule, followed by a lovely platter of very fresh and delicious mixed raw seafood. We also had a must-try dish: gnocchi with pistachio pesto and red prawns (SPECTACULAR), desserts, and Limoncello. Excellent service and the number one chef; I couldn't find a single flaw!!! Definitely worth a try.

16/10/2025: We ordered a seafood mix fantasy, which included seven different seafood items, all very small. The price was listed at €16, but the bill came to €20. We also ordered about 200 grams of fish, and the waiter quoted €6, but the bill came to €16. Plus €4 service and water, for a total of €42.50 for two, and we left hungry and feeling cheated. I don't recommend it.

13/11/2025: The pizza was good and the staff was friendly.

12/08/2025: Mario, the Super Saiyan of delis. Congratulations, Master.

09/07/2025: Yet another highly overrated restaurant on TripAdvisor! We were four for dinner and did the wine pairing along with the tasting menu. The food overall is mediocre at best. Some dishes like the chicory (which i normally love) were tasteless and blah. No dish rose to the level of delicious. The wines were fine. You get three glasses across eight courses. A white, a rose, and a red. All serviceable but not outstanding. The service on the other hand is weird. Very disorganized. Sometimes rude. We reserved a table some weeks in advance and confirmed via email the day before. We were told dinner service starts at 8:30. We arrived at 8:30 to find the tables mostly all full with diners well into their meals. There was no host to greet us and we stood awkwardly in the courtyard waiting to be helped. When we could finally get someone’s attention, a waiter came over and searched for our name but couldn’t find it. When we paid the bill later that night we were informed the reservation was under BOTH my last name AND my wife’s (different) last name - but when trying to get seated, I provided my name and we were told that they could not find our reservation. After we finally asked whether the reservation was under my wife’s name, the waiter saw that this name was on the list, and we got a surly, “so it’s your mistake!” We also stated on several occasions that one of our family has an allergy and this was confirmed twice via email. Yet upon sitting, the server was taken by surprise by this request and needed to go talk with the kitchen. The rest of the meal was a rushed series of mediocre dishes and wine. In food and service, this restaurant does not rise to the level of excellent. The food is only mediocre and the service is disorganized and often rude.

09/07/2025: siamo ritornati al Frantoio certi di trascorrere giorni meravigliosi, e così è stato! Un posto magico, ricco di storia e di dettagli in ogni angolo. Il personale sempre cortese e professionale attento alle esigenze degli ospiti e pronti ad accogliere le loro richieste. Le camere ben curate e spaziose e curate in ogni particolare. Posizione comodissima vicina a qualsiasi bella località si voglia visitare e poi, al ritorno, una comoda piscina aspetta gli ospiti che vogliono rinfrescarsi all'ombra dei meravigliosi ulivi o con un gustoso cocktail. Piante, giardino ovunque, pavoni, ulivi secolari. Insomma, un posto magico che è diventato posto del cuore

16/08/2025: Very well-managed beach resort with helpful staff. Plenty of space and reasonable prices. The only drawback is the restrooms; they need to be cleaned frequently throughout the day. Overall, a nice facility. Recommended.

15/08/2025: Ferragosto at the seaside? Yes... but with a "customs-style check-in." Upon arrival, instead of a smile, they greeted us as if we were international traffickers. Our coolers, guilty of containing the "extremely dangerous" quantity of six sandwiches, were subjected to a search worthy of a maximum-security airport, since their rules prohibit the introduction of TRAYS. Not satisfied, the staff manually searched our bags. We only stayed because it was Ferragosto and there was no alternative, but if you want a tip: you don't need sunscreen here, you do need your passport and iron patience.

20/07/2025: Pranzo veloce occorre compilare il menù si paga e si ritira. ottima soluzione per mangiare buon pesce a prezzi contenuti.

16/07/2025: Mi hanno consigliato questo posto per poter gustare del buon pesce. Arrivo e subito trovo un comodo piazzale dove poter parcheggiare (a pagamento 1 euro l'ora). All'ingresso del locale ci viene consegnato un menù dove bisogna indicare le pietanze e la quantità di ciò che si vuole mangiare, dopodiché si và alla cassa con il foglietto menù compilato e viene rilasciato il numero di prenotazione. Dopo appena 5 minuti siamo stati chiamati e ci viene dato il vassoio con tutte le pietanze ordinate, sono stati veloci nella preparazione considerando che erano le 20:00. Ci rechiamo dunque sul belvedere che si trova affianco, dove sono presenti numerosi tavoli da scegliere a piacimento. Abbiamo preso orecchiette al pomodoro, frittura mista di calamari e gamberi, insalata di polpo e seppie, cozze gratinate e polpettine di polpo. Cibo davvero ottimo, pesce fresco. È possibile anche il crudo di mare con cozze e ostriche, che però non ho assaggiato. Rapporto qualità prezzo giusto considerando che non si viene serviti al tavolo ma è un self service. Personale all'ingresso e alla cassa gentile.

28/10/2025: Not very busy at the end of October. We ordered pizza and red wine. We were given an English menu. The wine was deliciously dry, the pizza was deliciously crispy. Nice place. I recommend it. I don't know what it would be like in high season. They charge a service fee.

18/09/2025: Regional spaghetti prepared perfectly, delicious snacks and starters, perfectly chilled wine, simply divine, highly recommended!!!

27/06/2025: Fuera del calor en una vieja bodega. Gran personal. Buena comida local a diferencia de las trampas turísticas en la plaza principal. Muy recomendable.

14/06/2025: Nuestra primera noche en Ostuni después de conducir 6 horas para llegar allí. Elegimos este lugar porque estaba cerca de nuestro apartamento. El aperitivo de queso estaba delicioso. El plato principal con berenjena no era bueno en absoluto.

23/07/2025: Le pire restaurant de ma vie nous y sommes allé un jour où le restaurant ouvrait à 11h. Nous sommes arrivé à 11h45, quand nous arrivions devant le restaurant le serveur qui nous voit nous ferme la porte au nez 😤🤬🤯 Quand ouvre la porte il se tourne est nous froidement que il n’ouvre pas que dans 35 minutes et il nous propose rien. HORRIBLE LE PIRE RESTO ❌❌❌

09/07/2025: Una stella perche’ meno non si puo’! 50 euro per due antipasti fantasia che si chiama o cosi perche’ ce ne vuole tanta… 28 euro un piatto misero di paccheri coi gamberi “viola”, antipasto di terra con formaggio da pizza e prosciutto cotto nel piatto!!!!!! Fuggite finche’ siete in tempo!! Informatevi sui fuorimenu!

27/04/2025: Generous portions and everything was delicious. Friendly and very helpful staff. Excellent value. Highly recommended!

26/04/2025: Pranzo del 25 aprile fantastico tutto buonissimo questo locale è una certezza da provare assolutamente per chi vuole assaporare la vera cucina tradizionale ambiente accogliente e proprietari simpaticissimi e gentilissimi siamo stati in loro compagnia dopo pranzo sembra davvero di stare a casa Pietro il proprietario ci mette passione e amore e tutto ciò si rispecchia nei suoi piatti sublimi grazie di tutto a presto

20/07/2025: Un locale che abbiamo sempre frequentato con la vecchia gestione. Ieri sera pessima esperienza : pizza non commestibile e prezzi alle stelle.....birra da 33 in bottiglia €4,50; coperto €3....una misera porzione di patatine €6. Che dire? Una rapina! Ma fisse stata mangiarle la pizza( mal lievitata e cruda), il costo non avrebbe avuto importanza... Croce! Mai più

19/07/2025: Stasera siamo venuti io e mia moglie senza prenotare, il titolare gentilissimo ci ha detto di aspettare una mezz’ora. Esattamente dopo mezz’ora ci ha portati al tavolo che aveva fatto preparare appositamente per noi… Ottima frittura di pesce e pizze super….. Sicuramente ci ritornerò e invito tutti ad andarci

08/11/2025: I'm back after eight years, and the quality and friendliness are still the same. Go to Pasqualino's and you'll eat excellent meat.

18/10/2025: One of the most degrading experiences I've ever had in a commercial establishment. The place is run-down, the meat looks suspicious, and the cuts seem to have been taken from a veterinary nightmare. The staff, led by a certain "Pasqualino"—a figure who to call incompetent would be a generous understatement—stands out for arrogance, rudeness, and an almost pathological operational ignorance. A place run by individuals who seem hostile to hygiene, customers, and the very concept of decency. I strongly advise against it. Frequenting it is an insult to your health, intelligence, and good taste. Not to mention the price; a whole cow would have cost me half as much. The only positive note was the meatballs, which were reminiscent of Grandma Lucia's.

11/09/2025: A small restaurant in the center of Lecce serving fairly good pizzas. Shaded terrace along the street. Acceptable service.

11/09/2025: This place is definitely one to avoid. We waited a long time even though it was empty. The pizza was awful, and even worse, the cold cuts on the platter were stale and not fresh. I regret not getting up and leaving. Customers need to be taken care of.

06/10/2025: Simply authentic and typical...a favorite place.

23/09/2025: This bar is ideally located with a terrace overlooking the old town opposite, but the sense of service is lacking. The staff ignores customers. You have to go out of your way to be served/pay your bill. The cleanliness of the terrace is marginal. We asked the waiter to open the umbrella, without response and without result. It's not expensive otherwise

09/09/2025: Here's a short 5-star review with compliments on the food: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful experience! Charming atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food is truly excellent, with carefully prepared and flavorful pizza. A must-see in Troia.

11/08/2025: Nice place, good food, and decent portions. Service was a bit slow, but the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, a decent place to spend a quiet evening.
