We will be in Matera, Lecce, and Ostuni. Any recommendations for day trips, restaurants, etc. in those areas?

Hi Judy, I think being in the reviews section is obscuring your post, as Puglia is very popular on the Italy page--so you may want to cross post there.
I feel like my trip was not recent enough for strong restaurant recommendations, but even though Matera has some really excellent restaurants many famous and in the sassi, these more homey things are what were memorable to me: lunch at the headquarters of Murgia park (if it has reopened by your trip), dinner at Dalla Padella alla Brace. More upscale: Il Borghese
In Lecce, I am sure the classic Le Zie (the aunts) is still going strong.
