31/08/2025: Excellent traditional dishes, plentiful. Highly recommended.

The greatest satisfaction is receiving compliments from all our guests for the super delicious, exquisite, and high-quality food, for the magnificent location, Masseria Zanzara, and for the impeccable service... choosing Small is synonymous with quality, a great impression, and lots of fun. Thank you so much ❤️ Pierpaolo and Stefania

28/08/2025: Typical and welcoming place, excellent food and honest prices

13/07/2025: Excellent service, traditional food in line with Apulian cuisine, reasonable prices

12/07/2025: We waited an hour for just the pizzas, one of which had tomato sauce even though we'd asked for a white crust. They asked if we wanted to have it remade, but fearing we'd have to wait that long, we declined. The pizzas weren't bad after all!

08/09/2025: An elegant and refined venue, combining a refined atmosphere with excellent cuisine. Dishes are prepared with the highest quality ingredients, presented with taste and attention to detail. An excellent choice for experiencing Otranto with a touch of class and authentic flavor.

06/09/2025: Very mediocre service and food and too expensive for what they offer. Borderline tourist trap. No thanks

04/09/2025: Really enjoyed our evening here. The food was delicious and there was a good menu with good choices. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. The wine recommendation was very good and we enjoyed the wine. We returned 2 days later and had the same wonderful experience. Sadly we must return home so cannot return to Matisse but would highly recommend it. Grazie.

03/09/2025: My roots are in Salento, but I live in the north, and every summer I can't leave without dining at Matisse. It never disappoints; everything is perfect, with a menu that's meticulously crafted in both quality and presentation. The staff is professional and attentive. They never disappoint; every time it's a pleasant and tasty discovery. Well done.

09/09/2025: Very nice place. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

02/09/2025: Excellent, plentiful, and high-quality food! Quick service and friendly, helpful staff! The rustic, homey atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Excellent value for money!

01/09/2025: We were there last night, we bought a portion of chips and two portions of pasta with fish, water and local alcohol. Everything was good, we will be back.

28/08/2025: Unfortunately, it was a dinner I won't remember. The gratin mussels, which I only discovered were Spanish afterward, as the waiter explained it to another table, were completely overshadowed by the gratin cheese. The fried mussels weren't fried, they were boiled (I'll leave you a photo). The bill, in my opinion, was excessive for the quality, which, alas, I didn't find in the dishes. The positives: the staff were friendly throughout the service, the homemade cake was delicious, and the fennel liqueur they kindly gave us for free.

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.

18/09/2025: We arrived around closing time for lunch, there wasn't much choice left, but what we ate was excellent. The young woman who served us was really lovely despite our difficulty conversing in Italian. The prices are really attractive. Perfect for a quick bite.

18/09/2025: Delicious pizza by the slice. Recommended.

07/09/2025: We went to Le Scalelle for dinner. The place is very quiet and well-kept, the staff is kind and professional. The food was delicious, with excellent presentation and authentic flavors. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

07/09/2025: Le Scalelle is a stylish and well-kept restaurant, with a beautiful terrace overlooking Torre Vado and Marina di Pescoluse. Some dishes are very good with valuable intuitions, others are normal and could be improved, but overall it is definitely positive even if our expectations were higher. The prices are medium-high, the service is good and fast.

09/09/2025: We ate here quite late on our first night in Puglia. We had spaghetto and orecchiette, both superb and staff were very friendly and attentive. Would recommend!

08/09/2025: Super good food! Super friendly service!

24/09/2025: Excellent food, friendly and professional service. Everything was top notch.

18/09/2025: Very good restaurant, very pleasant setting on the terrace, delicious cuisine and top-notch service by Diana!

16/09/2025: Very good pizza, excellent service and welcome, I recommend it 🔝

08/09/2025: I recommend it for good, simple, and delicious pizzas. What a pleasure to eat pizza for 6 euros. The location is very nice.

16/09/2025: A relaxed atmosphere and exceptional dishes. Ravioli with amberjack ragù, impeccable service, and the flavors are evidently all fresh and freshly cooked. Truly, congratulations!

08/09/2025: Amidst the beautiful alleys of Lecce's historic center, just steps from Porta Napoli, we had an interesting culinary experience at "Locanda del Ballerino." The interiors, in Lecce stone, are very charming, with a touch of modern design that never hurts. The dishes are classic Salento dishes, some of which have been reinterpreted with a modern twist by the chef. The portions are generous and a true pleasure. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The service could be improved in some areas: for example, we're not crazy about paper napkins, which we find impractical as they tend to spoil quickly. Additionally, we think they should always be served, without having to ask for them every time. They would certainly be appreciated. Good value for money. We recommend it!

04/09/2025: A wonderful estate, where we were guests for an outdoor wedding. The place is truly magical, the atmosphere is beautiful and very evocative!

03/09/2025: Beautiful location and great food
