La Dispensa In Foggia

The focus on lactose-free options was excellent, but the main courses were disappointing. I visited Dispensa in Foggia, curious about this new place for me, having not lived in the city for years. The experience was a mix of positives and decidedly subdued aspects. The caramel and salted peanut cheesecake deserves a special mention: finding a lactose-free dessert this good is not a given, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The patatas bravas with peel and rosemary were also very good. The other courses, however, disappointed me: Scrocchiarella: being intolerant, I asked for the burrata to be removed and if it could be replaced with something else, but I was told there was nothing available. I felt like I'd put the person taking the order on the spot, and while it was a nice idea, without an alternative, the final taste was a bit bland. Tuna tataki: the plating is nice, but the corn-crusted breading was so overpowering that it completely covered the flavor of the tuna. A shame, because I was excited to try it. Fassona beef tartare: the sorest point. I'm used to bright red tartare; this one was dull (I've attached a photo), and the flavor was covered by the tomato crumble. I wasn't convinced by either the perceived freshness or the quality of the meat, which seemed almost camouflaged by the breading. Overall, the concept of the place is very nice, but for the price (including a €4 amaro), I expected a more refined balance of flavors and more prominent ingredients. I hope this provides useful feedback for improvement.

Everything good 😋 quality and price

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable in selecting and pairing wines. The dishes are beautifully presented, of undeniable quality, and at very reasonable prices. Recommended for a pleasant evening in a very warm and welcoming setting.

Fantastic experience, cutting board 🔝

The orecchiette were delicious, and the glass of Susumaniello was excellent. The atmosphere was quiet and welcoming.

Very welcoming place, very kind people and exceptional food.

I often go to La Dispensa, and every time it's a flawless experience. The restaurant is very well-maintained and elegant, with a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The cuisine is always top-notch: meat and fish dishes are prepared with great care, and the first courses are truly delicious. My favorite remains the Irish beef fillet, tender and perfectly cooked. The wine selection is also excellent, with always interesting and carefully paired options. The staff is professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. It's the ideal place for those seeking quality, good taste, and a classy atmosphere. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves to eat well and enjoy a special evening.

I've known Andrea for several years, and he's a true professional. The food is fantastic, and the place is truly classy. I always enjoy going there.

Excellent strongly recommended for food and drink
