It also has an extensive archeological site, one of the most important in southern Italy and of the Magna Graecia
But I am probably going to stay here

I wanted to stay on an olive farm in Cerignola, because I adore Cerignola olives, but I can't seem to find one that has rooms

Terre di Traiano looks very, very promising!!! Good find!
But I cannot decipher the Italian text on the restaurant page. Are they offering special events in conjunction with Le Brace in Andria? What is the connection between the two ventures?
Take a look here:

Terre di Traiano is listed in the Slow Food editore 2011 Locande & Osterie guide, and it says it has a restaurant, but makes no mention of La Brace. This website also describes it as having a restaurant, which we would lead me to think it is onsite:

I'll have to solve the mystery, though, because I certainly don't want to stay there if it doesn't have a restaurant.
I'm also going to check out of Masseria Barbera has got guest rooms now.
If I could find any raves for restaurants right in Canosa di Puglia, I might consider staying there.

So it looks like many restaurants are closed on sundays in lecce.
I have found these four, and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on them...
The first I found on Mario Batali's website, and the last three I found on TA with excellent reviews. A few pop up on il tacco di bacco, but not much else...
La Magiada Locanda
Vico dei Sotterranei
Il Rifugio della Buona Stella
La Torre di Merlino
Thanks!

Dina: I don't know them. I did look at the TA reviews for the first and those, along with the mention on the Babbo site, would be enough to convince me.
I have a copy of the Nancy Harmon Jenkins FLAVORS OF PUGLIA, in which she recommends a few hotels and restaurants in the region.
In the Lecce area, there is (in addition to Le Zie, closed on Sundays) Trattoria Acaya (you will need to drive or take taxi). This looks promising, but I don't know if it is open on Sundays.

The link comes from a site that looks interesting in itself:
http://www.originalitaly.it/focus/ristoranti-lecce.html
The same book mentions an agriturismo near the sea in Salento that might appeal to those (Zeppole?) looking for lodgings in that area:
http://www.torrecasciani.it/
And in Taranto, she recommends Trattoria Gambrinus, on Via Cariati, opposite the docks in the old city.

I'm curious -- do many/most of u make your restaurant reservations prior to arrival? If so, is this just for a few places not to be missed or pretty much all the restaurants u plan to eat at? R the restaurants that crowded in the Fall?

If there is somewhere I really want to go to then yes, I make the reservation. If I know we are going to be a particular place for only 1 day and want to eat somewhere then yes, I also make reservations in advance

Good site, eks. and i got to practice my italian.
i got a reservation at La Magiada Locanda, so i think we'll try that. i have a nice list now, though, so we'll probably check out a few on our passegiata.

Promise that you will give an update after you get back! I'm so eager to hear about all your food adventures!
I saw this mentioned on a travel blog. I know it does not look all that interesting but apparently they do some interesting savory pastries; who knows, it might be worth a look:
