"Fantastic Salento restaurant! Delicious food, great seaview and professional, friendly staff make this the place to go for your top food experience in Santa Maria di Luece. Even the top rated Malvase white wine was delicious. The portions here are bigger than most other restaurants locally, the mixed seafood course of six different small dishes at €18 is enough food alone for your dinner."

"If you are looking for sea food - look no further than Fedele. Excellent quality, fresh as can be with a view of the harbor of Santa Maria di Leucca. The staff is very helpful and nice. The quality of the fish is excellent and you will find a daily changing “piatto del girno” which everyday a different pasta with seafood. The wine list is fair Lunch is served ling into the afternoon. And this is a “fish only” place so spare yourself the trouble asking for bolognese or lasagna as this is not a place for it."

"After asking a few of the locals where to eat. It became obvious this is the best place to eat fish by the sea. My wife and I had the antipasto mare followed by the tuna steak and fried seafood dish called "A paranza". If you spend any amount of time in Leuca you must eat here!"

"I can put my hats off for this local restaurant in the heart of Santa Maria Di Leuca. I ordered more than 8 dishes The location is so convenient, it's right by the sea, there is two car parks near by and one just in front of the restaurant. You can choose to sit outside or inside. There is accessebility for disabled. Food choice range from grilled to fried local fish and you can choose catch of the day. I chose 4 fishes, two grill and two fried . It was amazing. The staff are supper polite and clean , very high degree of hygiene and they give very good advice on food choices . They are available at your table very fast . This is very good place to spend lunch and dinner in Santa Maria Di Leuca. I can highly recommend this restaurant as a trusted place for seafood lovers"
