I migliori ristoranti in Puglia

18/04/2026: Very nice place, authentic italian vibe. The service is very nice and waiters are real gentlemen

15/04/2026: I'm taking the liberty of leaving a comment, which I rarely do, but to warn that the service is extremely slow, there are no smiles, the waitress is completely inattentive, very cold, and far too slow. The food is not at all in line with the prices charged; disappointing cuisine, avoid it!! We left without ordering dessert, tired of the wait!!

24/08/2025: Returning after several years, the location is overall well-maintained and clean... The exterior could use a bit more attention. Table service is decent, and the food quality is overall good, but the quantities are limited. The paccheri with seafood were a no-no. We paid around €40 per person for an appetizer, first course, and fruit (the latter was not requested but consumed because it was automatically brought to the table), all small portions... I don't think I can recommend it except in extreme cases.

02/08/2025: We celebrated a 50th wedding anniversary. The dishes, from appetizer to dessert, were exquisite, blending tradition and innovation! The waiters were very helpful and accommodating. The location was magnificent, in charming Ceglie Messapica.

14/03/2026: The service was excellent, especially Giampiero, who was polite and very courteous.

08/03/2026: What a lovely discovery!! Super cute place with friendly and helpful staff, and quick to take orders. There's even a seating area at the entrance where you can sit while waiting for your table!! The food was varied and really tasty!! We'll definitely be back.

04/09/2025: Delicious ice cream and very kind owner

11/08/2025: A bar with an old-world charm that always transports me back to the past. Its simplicity makes sense: in a place where time seems to have stood still (even in the prices), you can enjoy exceptional artisanal gelato, served with professionalism, year-round.

24/11/2025: Great place outside the city center. Excellent prices, friendly service.

25/10/2025: In the heart of Otranto, far from the tourist bustle but close enough to feel its energy, lies a true gem: a family-run pizzeria where tradition isn't just a memory, but an essential ingredient. Entering this place is like stepping back in time, greeted by the enveloping aroma of the oven and the genuine smiles of those who have dedicated their lives to the art of pizza making for generations.

24/10/2025: There are many cafes in the area, but this one surpasses them all, hands down. First of all, whatever you order is delicious. In particular, the croissant dough is damn perfect. My mother is very picky about her coffee, but every time she comes here, she insists on coming back several times. The bathroom is ALWAYS clean. The entire place is kept like a mirror, which is incredible, considering how many people pass through. But the most impressive thing is the service. Whether standing or sitting at a table, the service is impeccable. Friendliness, warmth, efficiency, optimism. You can be having a terrible day, then walk in here and, poof, you're overwhelmed by an unparalleled positivity. If all cafes were like this, the world would be a better place.

25/08/2025: Warm and delicious croissants, excellent coffee.

17/02/2026: Spectacular Baba and modern venue

03/12/2025: Very close to the western coast, a great place to enjoy excellent quality products. Very friendly owner and fast service.

29/12/2025: Historic restaurant/pizzeria/trattoria with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu ranges from traditional dishes and appetizers to gourmet pizzas and desserts. Everything is accompanied by excellent, soft multi-grain bread. The dishes are very tasty (with a special focus on vegetables, meat, and homemade tart) and reasonably priced. Recommended.

26/12/2025: I had Christmas dinner yesterday, cold and bad. The service was incredibly slow, the food was cold, and the shocking thing was the frozen Duchess potatoes, fresh from the freezer... forget it.

26/08/2025: Honestly, for the price I paid, I expected a much better-equipped and trendier beach club. The location has one obvious flaw: the parking lot. It's unattended and left at the mercy of customers who use it almost unrestrainedly. The bar and restaurant service are good. The restrooms could be better maintained. Rating: 6+.

24/08/2025: It's hard to find a more organised beach resort, large parking, very clean, fair prices, we'll definitely be back.

07/05/2026: Beautiful place, good Italian (Salentine) cuisine and impeccable service

05/05/2026: It's a welcoming atmosphere, and knowing that the premises were once a tannery adds to the atmosphere. The food is excellent...the meat dishes are excellent...the staff is friendly, helpful, and professional!

13/12/2025: Excellent welcome and good, well-presented food.

25/09/2025: Kindness, courtesy, and helpfulness made our three-day stay special. The property is well-maintained, with rooms overlooking a small garden and direct access to the beach, equipped with gazebos, mattresses, chairs, sofas, and loungers. The beachside dining options are convenient. Ideal for families with children, thanks to the many games available. Our dog was also very welcome. The restaurant was lovely, serving quality products. A short but truly relaxing vacation.

16/04/2026: A private, family-friendly atmosphere, friendly and approachable owners, good food, and quick, smiling service. The pizza and ingredients are good, the sgagliozze are excellent, and the attention to gluten-free options is commendable (they have a separate fryer and oven); the gluten-free pizza was really good (the photo shows a gluten-free cacio e pepe). We celebrated a birthday this evening and had a wonderful time. We'll definitely return and recommend it to anyone craving pizza during the week, as it definitely benefits from an even more relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended, and we'll be back!

06/04/2026: Pizzeria with excellent food and pizza, but we were seated practically next to the entrance door with the related problems of constant coming and going, furthermore the tables were practically almost touching with no privacy, the bill was expensive, 2 euros for the cover charge for such a small place, a small plate of olives 4 euros, for two we had two pizzas, a small plate of olives, a very small plate of cheeses and two 33-pound Nastro Azzurro, paid 40 euros

01/01/2026: Excellent New Year's Eve dinner. Excellent organization, great food, plenty of space to dance, great music. What more could you ask for? It's just what you need to start the new year off on a high note. Special praise to the waiter (Marco) for his friendliness, courtesy, and professionalism. Well done everyone, highly recommended for any type of event.

26/12/2025: A Christmas lunch marked by good taste in every respect, from the dining room to the kitchen, a perfect "Ouverture" with a stunning interior and authentic flavors reminiscent of the past outside. Everyone deserves a shout-out, starting with Angelo, at the helm of this restaurant in Ruvese and beyond.

22/03/2026: We had a great time, the place is welcoming and well-decorated, the food is really good, the raw seafood is very fresh, good-quality products prepared in an exceptional way, congratulations.

10/03/2026: Very beautiful and well-kept place. The food is excellent. I recommend it!
