But we looked over at the table next to us and had complete food envy, so we had to come back the next night for the lobster pasta. Everything was delicious and impeccably prepared. The ambiance was great and perfect to enjoy a summer night in Puglia. Definitely recommend this place if you are anywhere in the region, it is worth the stop!

Martinucci Laboratorio in Otranto is a beloved, iconic brand known for mastering the art of gelato…read moreover the years. As a gelato enthusiast, I judge a place by its pistachio (pistacchio) and hazelnut (nocciola) flavors--both of which were exceptional here. The pistachio was rich, nutty, and perfectly balanced, while the hazelnut was creamy and authentic, reflecting the high quality of ingredients. With its long-standing reputation and attention to detail, Martinucci proves why it's such a popular spot for both locals and visitors. Service is always quick and efficient. The atmosphere is lively and can get quite noisy due to the large number of people. They often provide outdoor patio seating, but many people choose to wander or stand while enjoying their gelato. The bustling vibe adds to the charm of the place, making it a vibrant spot to grab a quick coffee, pastry, or gelato. Ideal for those looking for a casual stop in a busy yet energetic setting.

AMAZING food!! Alright so this restaurant is located very…read moreclose to the water in a very quaint neighborhood. You turn the corner to find other neat eateries and gelato spots - we didn't know that when we arrived to this spot. All we knew was how hungry we were and how difficult it was to find a restaurant open for lunch. Since it's so close the the water, they have incredible and intricate seafood dishes, which are a bit pricey, but you pay for the experience and the artistry. My husband and I shared our meal to try a little bit of everything. To start of, our server (the owner) is really nice and he's quite a cool guy. His wife is the chef. We ordered mackerel with sun dried tomatoes, and cheese which I didn't care too much about but to be honest I'm not a fan of mackerel- my husband ordered it. I loved my appetizer! Highly recommend the seared octopus over ginger potato soup. What an ingenious combination! My husband ordered the octopus infused gnocchi which was very different because it was cheesy and seafood(y)? at the same time. I really enjoyed our fish. I forgot what type it was but we were given the option to select it and it was deboned and plated beautifully by the owner. Oh, also their limoncello was the best we've had on our trip.

Le Pignata has friendly waitstaff and a small section of the restaurant available with outdoor dining, while also containing indoor seating with a traditional and beautiful interior.
