Mercadante In Altamura

08/05/2026: A pizzeria that focuses on quality without the need for too many special effects. The Margherita DOP with buffalo mozzarella is convincing at first glance: a light dough, a well-developed crust, and a creamy mozzarella that enhances the tomato without overpowering it. Simple flavors but executed well, as a true Neapolitan pizza should be. The Provola e Pepe is also excellent: bolder, more intense, and very balanced. The smoky note of the provola pairs perfectly with the pepper, creating a pizza with a strong character but never heavy. The cooking is also noteworthy: a soft crust, a very dry interior, and quality ingredients evident in every bite. A pizzeria that works with precision and definitely leaves a great impression.

19/04/2026: We visited Stile Libero's new location. It's not just a restaurant, it's a showcase of beauty and hospitality that raises the bar for local excellence. The impact is breathtaking, the venue meticulously curated with attention to detail, a perfect balance between modern elegance and welcoming warmth. The open kitchen is a spectacle, as is the outdoor seating area: a space overlooking an enchanting garden, featuring a manicured lawn and olive trees. It's the ideal place to unwind and be literally kissed by the sun, sipping a glass of wine immersed in the tranquility of nature. Dishes are revisited, preserving the essence of our land without ever betraying its soul. One of its most obvious strengths is its incredible versatility. Despite its sophisticated setting, Stile Libero manages to be extremely inclusive: it's the perfect destination for a romantic dinner, but it's especially exceptional for families, thanks to the large open spaces where children can soak up the beauty. The staff makes the experience unforgettable. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, capable of explaining each dish with expertise, but always with that genuine friendliness that makes you feel not just a customer, but an honored guest. Thank you 🫶🏽
