Restaurant Pizzeria Il Fragno In Alberobello

Wow...the risotto was delicious...the waitress was lovely, thank you for this wonderful meal. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Recently, almost every year I've been going to Putignano to see the parade. The rule was to book a hotel with dinner on Saturday and see the parade the next day. But this year, due to lack of rooms, I've had to change my habits, and I'm happy about it, because in addition to finding a B&B that was much better than the hotel room, I found this restaurant/restaurant/pizzeria that satisfied me greatly. It was destiny that we ate here. Saturday, not only was it the eve of Carnival, but it was also Valentine's Day. Driving past this place in a pouring rainstorm, it seemed like an oasis. As soon as we arrived at the shopping center, where we were headed to waste an hour indoors, since there was nothing else to do with the rain, I called to see if there was a table. Obviously, there was no way we could get there until late, but we were tired and hungry from waiting, so we made do. The Sunday after the magnificent Putignano Carnival, I called again and found a table at "Peppino." The place is nice, with a series of seating areas, a veranda overlooking the parking lot, and a large covered area (currently closed, but which I imagine always crowded with tables and pizzas in the summer), plus another indoor dining room. The atmosphere isn't particularly attractive, in the sense that there are no special effects; it's very much like a 1960s-1970s trattoria, ideal for families and snobs, I'd say. The daily menu is an A4-sized, sealed plastic bag. It doesn't look particularly impressive, but it's comprehensive and offers interesting options, with prices I'd call very fair. The wine list is included, modest, but Apulian, and if the wine isn't good in this region, tell me where. I wanted a good bottle of red to enjoy with the meat, but since all the tables on the veranda only had 1-liter carafes of red wine, I asked the waiter what it was. He told me it was a Primitivo, around 13% ABV, perhaps a little light (but not so much after drinking it). Obviously, we ordered that. Having to travel back home, and there was already too much wine, I didn't try the first course, but the dishes I saw being passed around were quite tempting. After a useless appetizer chosen by my wife consisting of prosciutto and burrata (too cold from the fridge), finally the ribs, over 600 g each, so I emphasize for my tastes, next time we'll make sure to ask for a whole one of at least 1.5 kg to share at the table. In any case, it was excellent, obviously asked for rare but overdone, precisely because the thickness is far from that of a Florentine steak, but I repeat, the meat is really good and tasty. I had French fries as a side, something I don't particularly like, they brought me a mountain of them, they may have been frozen but fried in very clean oil and very crispy, so good that I finished them all, incredible as far as I'm concerned, that potatoes might as well not exist. My wife had a mixed salad and here too the portion was more than generous. In the end, I couldn't get anything left: the coffee, the bill, and off I went. I paid without any hidden surprises, things that always happen around here, a fair price, and I ate well with a view of the olive trees that stand everywhere around here. Next year, I'll come back here to eat for Carnival, maybe pizza for dinner and steaks for lunch, after the parade, or if we feel like coming another weekend before, same plan but without the parade, maybe we'll go to the safari park. Fragno is a type of oak tree for those who don't know, and I didn't know it before.

Authentic Apulian cuisine, quality dishes in a family-friendly atmosphere at truly affordable prices. Highly recommended.

Excellent and plentiful first courses, the rest were average.

We arrived at around 8:00 PM without a reservation, and the owner told us there were no free tables, but offered us one immediately, assuming it was free by 9:00 PM. We accepted, and less than 15 minutes later, our order arrived. Excellent pizza, prepared in the Apulian style: thin, golden (not burned), and slightly crispy, with generous toppings. The price paid for two pizzas, two beers, and a bottle of mineral water with two covers was €25. Very fair prices, lower than the local average, but above all, the service was quick (order and table service) and the customer service was attentive. A truly wonderful discovery. I recommend this place to everyone, which also has a very spacious private parking lot.

A delightful rediscovery. Upon entering the restaurant, you appreciate the simple atmosphere and are greeted with smiles and professionalism. The service is attentive, discreet, and extremely efficient. Last but not least, the pizzas we enjoyed were light, topped appropriately, and the beer was crispy. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful meal tonight! The chicken in cream sauce with mushrooms was especially delicious! We ordered a lot of food, and the bill was incredibly reasonable. Highly recommended!

A very nice atmosphere, with secure parking and a children's play area. The cuisine is quite varied, but in my opinion their highlight is definitely the pizza. Really good!
