The seafood platter is really one of the best that we had! We also really enjoyed the lobster too.

We declined and decided to order an à la carte seafood pasta instead, asking if it could be cooked without wine due to dietary requirements. The waiter said the only option without wine was the Chianina ragù, as all other pasta dishes were already pre-mixed, unless we chose one of the smelly fish of the day. If the food were freshly prepared, the chef could have easily made a seafood pasta from the menu without wine. Most dishes seemed pre-cooked or frozen. I honestly don’t understand how this place can be mentioned in the Michelin guide. I usually avoid leaving negative reviews, but in this case, it was necessary.

Very attentive, Matteo showed us the fish and seafood of the day and we chose a grilled sea bream that was perfectly cooked. For starters we had six tempura shrimp, accompanied by red lettuce and a mild mayonnaise. A highly recommended place if you want to have a good meal.

The fish is incredibly fresh and the wine list is top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. Their artisanal gelato at the end of the meal is absolutely not to be missed. An excellent address in the heart of Maglie. Highly recommended.

From the moment you arrive, you sense a refined and welcoming atmosphere, making you feel immediately at ease. The service was impeccable: attentive, friendly, and never intrusive. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, ready to offer advice with passion and expertise. The real highlight, however, is the cuisine. Each dish was balanced, beautifully presented, and rich in flavor, with quality ingredients that you can taste from the first bite. You can sense great attention to detail and a true pursuit of flavor. I left the restaurant truly enthusiastic, positively surprised by everything: the ambiance, the service, and the food. Belami is definitely a place to return to, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine, clean, and no-frills dining experience.
