La Gioia Del Palato In Gioia del colle

We called on a Saturday evening, there were 20 of us, and they still found seats for us. We had to wait a bit when we arrived, but that's okay. The service was very quick, and the pizzas arrived quickly. They let you choose whether you wanted the Neapolitan or Bari-style pizza, and I have to say it was pretty good anyway. The menu pairings were perhaps a little odd, but the ingredients were good. I had the pizza with finocchiona, which, with the yellow cherry tomatoes, completely covered the flavor. I also tried the one with sage, and unfortunately, the burrata covered everything underneath.

The quality of the pizza and food in general is exceptional. The reservation system is impeccable. The wait times are virtually nonexistent. Highly recommended.

Outstanding starter - freshly backed focaccia bread with a unique spread as well as the pizza 🍕 it was delicious 😋 Service was nice and fast. The restaurant is on the Main Street. You may sit indoor, or outdoor. This restaurant has an AC. Cost is a little on the higher end.

Excellent restaurant, good food

Located in the heart of Gioia del Colle, Authentico immediately stands out for its ability to transform local ingredients into dishes that are true works of art. It's not your average trattoria, but a restaurant/pizzeria/sandwich shop that focuses on extreme quality and impeccable presentation. ​Why choose it: ​Quality of the raw materials: The selection of meat cuts is superb, with perfect aging that enhances every bite. Even the dairy products, a symbol of the city, are treated with the respect they deserve. ​Elegant atmosphere: The restaurant is modern, welcoming, and characterized by a clean design, making it perfect for both a romantic dinner and a formal business lunch. ​Wine list: The selection of wines, with a focus on local reds (such as the ever-present Primitivo di Gioia del Colle), is designed to complement every course. ​The experience: The service is professional, attentive, and never intrusive. The management's passion for offering not just a meal, but a complete sensory experience is clearly evident. The quality-price ratio is absolutely balanced, considering the high quality of the preparation and the exquisite ingredients. ​Special mention: The creative appetizers are the perfect way to start the experience; they manage to surprise even those who think they already know Apulian cuisine inside out.

Good pizza, but having to get up right after the bill for our group, including some out-of-towners, was unpleasant. It was like saying, "You've eaten, well, you can go now." We didn't intend to sleep there. A bad experience for me! We were piled on top of each other; I didn't even have room to get up and go to the bathroom.

For a takeout service I waited over an hour and a half, then after calling the pizzeria, telling me that the pizzas would arrive in 5 minutes, I waited over 20 minutes...

Delicious crunchy chicken with sweet and sour sauce. Neapolitan pizza Santa Salvia: I didn't find the flavors very balanced because the smoked burrata covered all the flavors. The dough is excellent, holds the sauce well, and is easily digestible. Neapolitan pizza Porchetta Nera: more balanced flavors, delicate on the palate. Quick and friendly service. We'll be back to try other pizzas.

I was pleasantly surprised by this pizzeria! The dough is light, fragrant, and well-leavened, cooked to perfection. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and you can really taste the care taken in selecting the ingredients. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is welcoming, perfect for both a dinner with friends or a more relaxed evening. The quality-price ratio is also excellent.
