Coquus In Lucera

Fantastic. I'll start by saying that I personally don't like tartare. I've eaten/tasted it in various places, but the result has always been adamant: no! No raw meat! But here it was spectacular. I don't know if it was the atmosphere, the combination of ingredients, or the accompanying sauce, but here I can say I rediscovered a dish that we'll definitely be back for more. Not to mention the lemon spaghetti with tuna tartare, fabulous, all accompanied by a white focaccia and a good white wine. I only give it 4* because the water wasn't very cold, but that's a matter of taste. That said, we'll definitely be back, thanks.

My partner and I come to Coquus for special occasions because the dishes on the menu are truly exceptional: top-quality ingredients, cooked to perfection. Excellent value, and finally, Mirko, the owner, is extremely helpful in presenting and recommending the various dishes. We'll be back as soon as possible!

A wonderful evening, accompanied by delicious food, a must-see for those visiting this area. Thanks again to Mirko for his professionalism, availability and kindness. See you soon!

Amazing food, amazing service. We were the first in for lunch service but the staff were very attentive. A shame we couldn’t stay longer or drink more but we stopped in the middle of a drive from Monopoli to Abruzzo. Highly recommend to anyone nearby!

Simple but refined atmosphere, attentive service and excellent cuisine. Seasonal dishes executed to perfection: the asparagus and chocolate dessert are highly recommended. An authentic and refined gastronomic experience in the heart of Lucera.

A gastronomic experience that leaves its mark (in a positive way!) We recently dined at Coquus and each course turned out to be a real surprise, in terms of taste and originality. Chef Mirko Esposito demonstrates excellent preparation, capable of combining the highest quality ingredients with refined technique and a modern culinary vision. The service was precise and friendly, in a refined and welcoming environment. A restaurant that is not only worth a visit, but invites you to return again and again.

"In the historic center of Lucera, the welcoming contemporary restaurant of the young Mirko Esposito, a chef with various experiences in the family restaurant and beyond, offers fresh, seasonal, fragrant cuisine, at absolutely affordable prices in relation to the quality. Professional and passionate service. In the summer, take advantage of the outdoor harvest in the pedestrian area." So says the Michelin 2024 guide, and I can only confirm their impressions. Compliments.
