I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterraneanella città Otranto della Lecce

15/07/2026: The terrace is rather small and the tables are quite close together, but once the food arrives, all that fades into the background. The produce is fresh and expertly prepared, especially the fish. The Sapore di Mare and the tempura cod were truly delicious. Furthermore, the service was very attentive throughout the entire meal.

13/07/2026: Welcoming place, excellent food.

10/05/2026: Excellent. We ordered a starter, main course, and dessert, all bursting with flavor. Special mention goes to the specialty appetizer! The welcome was very warm, and you can tell they're passionate about sharing their expertise. I highly recommend it!

02/05/2026: Exceptional restaurant, from the food to the location, the hospitality, and the service. The quality of the ingredients is superb, and not everywhere else can you find such fresh ingredients. Congratulations!

04/05/2026: Beautiful place, unfortunately I know it indirectly through work.

06/04/2026: We stumbled upon it by chance, through social media, while searching for a place to have Easter lunch. It was actually an experiment, with the desire to spend a quiet day eating something good. The result was very satisfying. A genuine location, in the open countryside, with the sea on the horizon, with the perfect balance between rural tradition and modern hospitality. The beautiful stone courtyard, nestled among the tourist cottages, offers a lovely panoramic view of the pool, shaded by a young pergola supported by Lecce stone columns, surrounded by citrus trees, and a magnificent pine forest on the horizon. The welcome was excellent, with the entire staff being very friendly and genuinely helpful. Given the occasion, the fixed menu was tasty, with authentic flavors, dishes that leave fond memories and the desire to return. Returning for the place, the taste, the kindness? Who knows, it's hard to decide!

05/07/2026: Disappointing experience. I ordered seafood pasta, which arrived cold and with the pasta still raw. When the staff asked if everything was okay, we politely addressed the issue without creating any controversy. Instead of receiving a simple apology, what I believe to be the owner arrived, asserting in a rather intimidating manner that it was impossible for the dish to have been served in that condition. We calmly reiterated what had happened, but the way the situation was handled left us more disappointed than the dish itself. At the end of the meal, we were told that they would offer us amaro (bitter liquor) for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, looking at the other tables, we saw that amaro was offered to all customers, so it wasn't a gesture of consideration for the inconvenience. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant. What really makes the difference is how they are handled. In this case, the ability to listen to the customer and recognize a mistake was lacking.

02/07/2026: We discovered this restaurant while we were at the beach, unfortunately (you'll understand why) on our last day in Otranto. It was the best meal we've had since we've been in Puglia (for 8 days), so since we discovered the restaurant for lunch, we've eaten there once more in the evening. First of all, I want to give all the credit and congratulations to the dark-haired, bearded waiter, from July 2, 2026, who served us at both meals, and was very professional, attentive to details and on top of his job. He made us feel very good and certainly deserves all the praise and a raise 😁. The location is right on the beach and offers a wonderful view. The interior looks luxurious, clean and well-kept. The food is very good. For lunch I tried entrecotes with truffle mayonnaise, which were brilliant and made me regret that I don't have at least one more day to eat again. I chose the beef cooked medium well on the waiter's recommendation, so it was perfect. Also, on the waiter's recommendation, I chose a local rose wine, very aromatic and tasty. My partner had gnocchi with pistachios, shrimp and clams, which were also very tasty and a large portion. In the evening we chose to eat sushi, and shrimp tempura. The soy sauce was very good, and the sushi rolls were tasty and aromatic. This time I chose a very good local white wine. Also, the dessert was very good, I had panna cotta and my partner had tiramisu, both very tasty, but here I want to note again the waiter who was very attentive to details and gave us a pleasant surprise. Although the prices were a little higher than in other restaurants (~75€ per meal, with main course + wine + dessert) it was the best restaurant I ate at in all of Puglia.

24/03/2026: It's closed, even though Google Maps said it was open.

23/12/2025: My boyfriend and I went to this little restaurant in September. Fantastic place! We spent a bit because we didn't want for anything, but the quality of the food and wine was worth every penny. The fish was incredibly fresh, and they recommended the right wine to pair with the dishes. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable. Excellent customer service! High quality, definitely recommended.

27/12/2025: We stumbled upon it by chance, without a reservation, one day during the Christmas holidays. We'd heard good things about it, and it deserved its reputation: we had excellent raw seafood (compliments to the accompanying sauces), a first course (tagliolini spunsale and anchovy colatura), a second course (sea bass with chard cream), and two desserts. Everything was delicious! It must be said: the price isn't cheap. The service was truly friendly, both to us and to our dog. I recommend it for a special occasion.

08/12/2025: Lots of Japan influence in the food. A nice interpretation of Italian fusion food.

08/06/2026: Excellent meal of very fresh and local ingredients - one of the best this trip to Italy. Service was friendly and efficient and the owner was on site, very gracious.

08/06/2026: Food was 10/10 - highly recommend the pasta. Usman provided the best service from our trip in Otranto so far - absolute gentleman

25/07/2026: Friendly and fast service, tasty portions.

21/07/2026: We stumbled upon this place by chance, escaping the chaos and queues of the historic center. We had a wonderful meal: gratinated mussels, seafood salad, tuna steak, and fried squid—all excellent. The dessert (cheesecake) was also delicious, and the bill wasn't too high. €95 for two people with a bottle of wine. Highly recommended if you want to spend a relaxing evening away from the noise of the city center and enjoy good seafood!

05/07/2026: Excellent dishes, typical homemade Puglia fare, a real treat!

04/07/2026: Reservation for The Fork at 10:15. We were late, admittedly (10:40), and the restaurant was empty except for a couple of tables still waiting to be served. They wouldn't seat us; the owner/waiter was unspeakable and even unpleasant. We sat there until 1:00, toasting with other diners. I don't recommend it. Avoid.
