13/06/2026: Excellent pizzas. Friendly staff. Saturday nights are crowded and the wait is long, but it's worth it.

22/08/2026: Referred by acquaintances, we went for dinner shortly after Ferragosto (August 15th). A very informal atmosphere, home-style and authentic food, friendly and attentive service (equally informal), and low prices compared to the Salento tradition of recent years. Recommended!

01/08/2026: Excellent food that can satisfy a wide variety of tastes, especially when you're in a large group. The self-service starters offer a great selection, made with quality ingredients and are very tasty. We ordered pizzas and pastas, and everyone was very happy with their choices. The staff is very attentive and provides excellent service! We'll definitely be back!

02/10/2025: A wide variety of pizzas of very high quality. Located outside the historic center but on the avenue that leads to it.

23/09/2025: Best restaurant in the area, incredible food, perfect atmosphere and super kind and helpful staff.

19/05/2026: Fantastic school trip! My daughter came home so happy. The staff were incredibly kind, the food was excellent, and the location was surrounded by nature. Thank you for making our children so happy!

12/08/2026: I recommend everyone to come. It's a truly wonderful, quiet place, located in a lovely little square. It's also excellent because it's both a sushi restaurant, with an all-you-can-eat option for €30, and a seafood restaurant. I was truly impressed, and I'd love to go back. The quality of the sushi is truly excellent, with attention to every detail, from the plates to the glasses. I'm truly impressed. I eat sushi regularly, and I've never tasted anything this good.

08/08/2026: Very cozy little place, friendly and attentive staff, good food, and average prices. A pleasant surprise...

04/08/2026: The restaurant is like an old-fashioned restaurant, tastefully decorated and has a pleasant, family-run atmosphere! We had an appetizer, followed by orecchiette with meatballs and swordfish Gallipolina-style. Everything was delicious, with fresh ingredients cooked by the grandmother, who was always present in the kitchen. The wine selection was excellent, and we'll be back.

02/08/2026: A very charming and typically Apulian location, truly beautiful! The dishes were medium-sized, just right. We had the parmigiana as an appetizer, a true Apulian recipe, delicious! Then we ordered the orecchiette with turnip greens, but they weren't exactly original... and the ones with sage and walnuts, both quite good. The girl who served us was very nice and kind, always smiling. Overall, good.

11/08/2026: Beautiful place, TOP staff, (Carmen is incredibly talented), EXCELLENT quality food, dishes crafted with care and innovation. Trust me, if you stop by Cutrofiano, you won't regret it and you'll taste local dishes made with love. ❤️ Thanks to Dori, Carmen, Guenda, and all the staff for putting passion and love into what you do.

26/06/2026: A charming terrace and, above all, sublimely cooked dishes all accompanied by extremely friendly staff Go there, you won't regret it.

11/07/2026: A dream location. The panoramic view is simply spectacular, and the history that permeates this place makes it truly unique. The food is top-quality, prepared with great care and using excellent ingredients. An unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone in the area.

10/07/2026: To begin with, the setting is magnificent. Superb view of the sea. The dishes are excellent and incredibly generous. We loved it. The orecchiette and the risotto were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

18/08/2026: Reading the reviews, I expected a 10, but unfortunately I can't give it more than a 7. The location is very nice, but the service and food didn't satisfy me. They rushed us into ordering without even explaining the dishes, and for a restaurant of this caliber, that's important. The appetizers were almost tasteless, the first course of gnocchi with mussels and shrimp was quite good, and fortunately, the sea bream cooked in salt was well-cooked and had a nice flavor. For dessert, we had the almond pastries, but I didn't find them particularly good either; all I could taste was sugar! I wouldn't return, but Muro Leccese is a very pretty village worth a visit.

14/08/2026: We came here on a recommendation. The location was beautiful, but unfortunately that evening it was filled with the odors from the various festival stands. The raw fish and seafood were excellent, and the ingredients were top-notch. The cuttlefish and fried fish were excellent, and the sea urchin pasta dish was exceptional. The price seemed high, but the quality was exceptional. We ended up paying 120 for two. Fair enough.

10/07/2026: Here's a polished review you could post: Tenuta Pellegrino is a stunning venue that never disappoints. The pizza is excellent, but the à la carte menu is just as impressive, offering a carefully selected range of dishes paired with a thoughtfully curated wine list. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a genuine family feel that makes every visit special. Set in a beautifully restored historic building surrounded by the countryside, it offers lovely indoor and outdoor dining spaces. Whether you're planning a romantic dinner, celebrating with friends, or enjoying a family meal, it's the perfect setting. We've visited many times over the years, and the quality of the food, service, and hospitality has always been outstanding. Highly recommended.

07/05/2026: I went for lunch on the first of the month. It wasn't my first time here, and, as always, I've never been crazy about it. This time, however, there was a guy grilling the meat in full view, and I have to say: I've NEVER eaten such good sausage and bombette in my life. A true culinary orgasm. The rest, however, was unfortunately a disappointment: the DJ played music too loud for lunch, and the appetizers were below average. Recommendation: if you want to up the ante, let us know when this guy is grilling. I'd go back for him alone. As for the rest, there's work to be done.

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.
