Le Macare Ristorante

What an amazing dinner! Truly delicious food, from the antipasti through the desserts it was consistently amazing and cherry on the cake wonderful tasting of evo! I couldn’t recommend this place more especially since the price/quality ratio is perfect!

Amazing dinner with traditional recipes with an elevated take. Our waitress was efficient and kind, despite being a full house on Saturday night. Spaghetti con le cozze best I’ve ever had and we are still talking about the ricotta and pear dessert!!! 1000/10!

After four weeks in Italy in Rome and Apuglia, I’ve had cozze spaghetti at least seven times. This eighth time at Le Macàre was easily much better than the rest. The most generous serving of cozze was combined with a different kind of creamy sauce for an amazing flavour. I also tried the crustacean risotto with lemon. A very original flavour combined with lots of fish. This was preceded by lovely starters, including perfect meatballs, melanzane and red onions on crusty bread. Service was attentive and enthusiastic but not distracting. I think we are more likely to come to Alezio again when we next visit Italy because of Le Macàre.

This place is a hidden gem...great food and service for a fair price! Don’t miss the dessert! The appetizers are ok but I would not order them again since the pasta and the desert are just better

My girlfriend was not hungry and ended up eating all my food, that s how delicious this place is. Even olive oil is fantastic there

One of the best restaurants in Area by far. Run by a group of young, dedicated woman "le macare" in local dialect is the name for a white witch. And yes there is magic in food and in the atnosphere of this lovely gem in the Salento countryside.

My favourite place to dine when in Puglia. Returned on my second trip and still have not found any other place to beat the atmosphere, incredible food, and affordable prices. Excellent service. Honestly cannot fault it. I will be back! Highly recommended

We were advised to visit by our local host and we were definitely not disappointed. The food was amazing, traditional Salentinian taste with a modern touch in both taste and presentation. Huge selection of local EVO and of the best bread we ate in the area. Portions were adequate completely enough to enjoy the delicate taste of the dishes. Wine selection didn't disappoint either. Prices are reasonable and definitely worth it.
