Astor Pane e Cucina In San ferdinando di puglia

24/06/2025: Tucked away in a quiet side street with just the right amount of local life — a few scooters, friendly passersby — the setting here is relaxed and authentic. The service was very friendly and made us feel welcome right away. The pizza we had tasted good, flavor and fresh ingredients. However, the dough on my pizza seemed underdeveloped: the base was very thin, and the crust formed only a shallow, hollow edge rather than the airy, structured rim typical of a well-proofed dough. Almost like a Flammkuchen. After short time, the crust started to turn noticeably soggy and dense, little hard to bite through. That might not be the norm, though: other photos clearly show a pizza with a more typical, puffy crust. Since we were there right at opening time, I wonder: was the oven maybe not fully up to temperature yet, or had the dough not rested long enough today? Either way, I’ll give it another try the other day — the flavor is promising, and with such a nice setting and friendly service, I’d love to see how the pizza performs another day.

08/06/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, perhaps a little too crowded, there should be a little more space between the tables, a little more light not dim, a more careful organization between the owner and the girls at the tables, rather slow service, between appetizer and Pizza a good hour almost an invitation to leave after the appetizer, prices in line, most likely around there are places at the same cost to say the least better than the aforementioned. An evening dampened by the wait for the orders, and by the corrections made to the girls who bring the wrong orders to the tables by inverting the tables of the customers, obviously this is the result of the disorganization that reigns supreme in that place.
