Ristorante Dal Pugliese In Vicenza

We were at the Dal Pugliese restaurant in Creazzo this evening with my family and we were thrilled. From the start you can feel the welcoming atmosphere, the place is large, with attention to detail and the staff is kind and very attentive. We accompanied the dinner with a bottle of Vermentino di San Marzano, fresh and fragrant, truly excellent. The appetizers were a triumph of flavors: the extraordinary Polpette di Pina, the creamy burrata and the Fav’e Cicoria that brought to mind the scents of our homeland. Among the first courses, the orecchiette with turnip tops and the egg tagliatelle in cream of shrimp won us over, as did the baked sea bass cutlet, not only delicious but also presented with great care. The dish of the day also lived up to expectations. We couldn’t help but give in to the desserts: pink grapefruit sorbet and pasticciotto, both delicious. And to top it off, a homemade liqueur made by the owner, one of the best I've ever tasted. The focaccia served at the table was simply perfect, fragrant and tasty, as only Puglia knows how to make. With the Apulian roots that belong to us, we really felt at home. A beautiful evening, with excellent food, warmth and tradition. We will definitely be back.

I had dinner at this restaurant yesterday, Wednesday, (weekday) the atmosphere was very quiet. Given the beautiful evening, I chose to sit directly outside in a space where the tables were well spaced for privacy. The rooms inside seemed well-kept to me. The staff is very kind and welcoming, I would add competent in giving information on the quality of the ingredients and the composition of the dishes. It certainly does not have the price of a trattoria and it is right that way, since the quality of the ingredients is excellent and the research in the recipe is not trivial. The breading of the appetizer is dry and fragrant and you can feel the sweetness and consistency of the shrimp, which marries well with the acidity of the accompanying sauce. The pork fillet is very tender and balanced in flavors placed on a wine reduction. I leave the "Pugliese" focaccia for last because it is the best I have ever eaten. It is served automatically, together with delicious taralli and Apulian bread, once you have chosen the menu. In a slice of that focaccia there is a perfect balance of flavors; it is as if you were tasting two dishes in one slice. In the initial part you feel that softness on the surface with the filling of cherry tomatoes dry to the point, then when you get to the crust the consistency becomes completely crunchy and you can clearly feel the aroma of the spice and the delicate flavor of the olive oil, abundant in cooking as it should be, but to the point. In short, this focaccia is an experience. Don't forget to try the mandarin-flavored spoon sorbet, a delicate flavor with that very light slightly bitter note on the finish to end the dinner in style. Of course I recommend it.

Restaurant with typical Apulian dishes. Outdoor tables available. Very attentive service

Nice environment with friendly staff. Very good dishes. Excellent for a quick but satisfying lunch break.

Well-kept location Amazing food Qualified and welcoming service

We ate very well. Nice choice, very kind and very welcoming environment. Renovated in some elements. The beans and chicory are really super and the orecchiette with turnip tops are really good. As for dessert, the sweet and salty one is really out of this world.

excellent food and high level service. special proposals respecting the Apulian tradition, also regarding wines

The place is welcoming, the staff friendly. They make good typical dishes of Apulian cuisine, revisited. The raw materials used are good. The prices are centered, except for the second courses, which in my opinion are a little high.

We had a splendid dinner: very fresh ingredients, impeccable service, welcoming environment. We will definitely be back!

Very nice and well-kept place! Excellent food, super focaccia! I will definitely come back
