Botteghe Antiche In Putignano

Great food, local cuisine with sophistication, very good quality of ingredients. We ate our way through the map. Plus a great location right on a square with two other bars, you can spend the whole evening here.

We have been here a few times. Top quality food and reasonable prices.

I went back for the second time for lunch and I will go back again. Excellent food, quality and presentation, staff always available and attentive and an environment that makes you feel at ease.

Very good dishes but unkind staff who were annoyed by the fact that there were 10 of us (having booked anyway) and with a request to order a maximum of three different dishes (which was not easy given that we were from 6 different countries)

Great place, excellent traditional starters, very good first and second courses although even more traditional. Quick and professional service. Good choice of some unconventional labels from the wine list Only note if I may. As kindly discussed with the chef/patron, I mistakenly entered two reservations and only honored the second, as I was unaware that I had another one the previous day. As per the booking policy they charged me 80 euros for the unused dinner. The restaurant tried to contact me, I was in another restaurant without telephone coverage. I apologized but it can happen. Then, if as the chef told me "on a Saturday night we had a queue outside" I am pleased that they will certainly have replaced my table and happy not to have caused any damage. Personally it will be the last time in this place, sorry because it is valid. I'm the customer who doesn't come back, not the one who complains (mostly because of my mistake). In the future I will try to avoid restaurants that adopt this type of policy.

Thanks to the advice of a friend I tried this beautiful osteria in the heart of old Putignano. What can I say, top advice, everything is truly impeccable from the service to the food prepared with care and passion by the chef and the assistant chef (a splinter in the preparation of the dishes). What can you say, we will certainly return with pleasure.

La presentazione delle Botteghe Antiche, che parla di “orto biologico per un ritorno alle origini” ci ha intrigato molto e ci ha invogliato ad accomodarci da Chef D’Onghia. Nella sua splendida, e contenuta, cucina a vista, con la Sous Chef complice ed attentissima, tra brace ben ardente, sifone, sac a poche ed una “importante” linea pronta scaturita da conoscenze e tanta evidente passione si è cucinato in tempi perfetti, e tocchi di personalità, in maniera eccellente quanto tutti i commensali di questa Osteria con la O hanno ordinato. Il personale, assolutamente professionale e concentrato, ottimamente al servizio delle uscite della cucina, ha contribuito a far di un pranzo domenicale un’autentica eccellenza. Tra una fonduta di parmigiano ed una mousse di mortadella, tra un lampascione fritto ed un fave e cicorie all’uso antico od una brasciola d’asino al ragù, è stato un susseguirsi di sapori elevati. All’eccellenza, appunto. Decisamente interessante l’offerta dalla cantina ed il segmento dessert ha assolutamente contribuito ad esaltare i sapori di una certa tradizione. Notevole, per concezione e gusto, il tiramisù pugliese delle Botteghe Antiche ! È stata una splendida esperienza culinaria la nostra. In totale dissenso da quanto letto proprio qui…

The Osteria Botteghe Antiche by Stefano Donghia, Chef and owner, the point of reference for years in the province of Bari, impeccable hospitality and service, excellent raw materials, large wine list with particular attention to natural wines. A stop not to be missed for anyone visiting Puglia. Highly recommended

A beautiful surprise in the heart of the ancient village of Putignano in the province of Bari. Traditional dishes, all raw materials strictly from the territory. Original and traditional dishes. Good wine cellar. As tradition excellent oil on the table to accompany the bread and here deserved praise. Excellent service. Highly professional staff. I will gladly return to try other dishes.

Nella parte vecchia di Putignano, ottimo impatto sia allo esterno che allo interno. Ma , almeno nella serata uggiosa in cui ho cenato non ci sono stati guizzi di interesse capici da stimolare il mio interesse ed il mio appetito. Avrebbe potuto essere meglio, rispetto alle aspettative.
