Trattoria Pugliese In Gioia del colle

This restaurant was a wonderful discovery. We were strolling through the historic center and called to check if they had availability. They were really kind and welcomed us at 1 pm. The restaurant is bright, clean, and well-kept, combining modernity and tradition. The service is delightful, friendly but not pretentious, and the food is excellent. We had two appetizers, two first courses, two desserts, house wine, water, and two coffees. Vegetarians have plenty of options here: our delicious appetizers were based on vegetables and delicious dairy products. My first course was delicious (orecchiette with cauliflower, anchovies, and crusco peppers), while my husband's was very local (mezze maniche with broad beans, cardoncelli mushrooms, and caciocavallo cheese). The desserts were a real treat. Try them and believe them. The prices are fair. I'll definitely be back!

Finally, quality and authentic local products served with expertise and kindness.

We ate well and were served attentively. The place could be improved, but it's pleasant.

You feel like family from the first moment and what's more, the food is excellent.

We found this restaurant by chance while walking through the historic center. It's located in a historic building with stone vaults. The food was excellent, and the table service was prompt and professional, thanks to the kindness of the waitress who served us. A wonderful experience.

Trattoria Pugliese offers authentic, down-to-earth cuisine. No frills, just honest food made with regional ingredients. Highly recommended!

We had lunch here for the first time today following an online search and a good review, which speaks volumes. We can confirm the excellent layout. The food is excellent. The only thing that jars in this context are the two girls who work there. One in particular, with loose black hair, also works at the bar. She wasn't very empathetic, not very accommodating, and very questionable in her attitude, at least with us. Evidently, perhaps, we weren't to her liking.

Everything was excellent, from the welcome, to the menu, to the dishes, and the service. I stopped for lunch while looking for a place to eat and made this wonderful discovery, which I've marked on my calendar as a place to return to.

The food was Amazing I recommend the linguine Al limone, the service was fast and the staff spoke English as well.

Excellent traditional cuisine, the taste and presentation are very careful. The place is typical and charming and the staff is very welcoming and friendly.
