Answer 1

In Otranto I can recommand you the pizzeria "Bella Idrusa"; the restourant "da Ivo". These are in the central square of the town near the port

In Lecce you can have a very good pizza at the pizzeria called "Carlo V".

Have a very good meals!!!

Puglia  is  the  extreme  southeast  and  heel  of  Italy ; a  long  way  from  Rome .   If  you  want  to  eat  out  in  Puglia , you  will  have  to  stay  there .   Generally  Puglese  food  is  good ; if  it's  not  too  much  effort  for  the  waiters  and  waitresses  to  serve  you .   My  experience  around  Porto  Cesario , was  that  tourists  make  work  and  are  not  really  welcomed .   Puglia  has  lovely  beaches ; if  anybody  could  be  bothered  to  clear  the  rubbish  off  them .   Watch  your  money  and  posessions ; tourists  are  easy  pickings  in  Puglia , don't  tender  the  money  at  gas  stations  or  shops  before  it  is  asked  for , or  they  may  trick  you  into  paying  double .

Rome  is  in  Lazio ; if  you  are  staying  45  minutes  from  Rome , I  recommend  you  remain  in  that  area ; there  are  many  interesting  and  historic  places  to  visit .   I  cannot  name  Restaurants  precisely , but  you  shouldn't  have  difficulty  in  eating  well .  Take  care  of  your  Passport , wallet  and  cards ; keep  them  separate , in  safe  places .

Rome  is  a  gang  of  theives  and  pickpockets ; don't  carry  valuables  in  a  backpack  or  you'll  very  likely  lose  them .

I  have  lived  a  number  of  years  in  Italy  and  love  it  dearly ; but  it  does  have  it's  shortcomings .

Take  care  and  enjoy  yourselves !!!

Answer 3

Picton in Lecce or Antimo in Porto Cesareo.

Are good,but the first isn't much cheap.Have always afresh and very good fish.

You can also eat the typical Puglia's food!!!

Answer 4

There is no bad food in Puglia so don't worry!

But can you be more precise about where you will be -- it's kind of like asking, 'Where is a good place to eat out in Florida?'. And if you are 45 minutes from Rome, you will not be in Puglia. It's much further away than that.
