I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliese

14/11/2025: The dishes always arrive surprisingly quickly. Everything is incredibly fresh and delicious, and the harbor setting adds a unique charm you won't find elsewhere. The portions aren't overwhelming, which allows you to try many different dishes—and that's exactly what makes the experience so fun every time ❤️❤️❤️

08/11/2025: Excellent value for money. First course: fusilli pasta, shrimp, mushrooms, and delicious arugula pesto. The sauce was sublime.

13/03/2026: Beautiful restaurant ❤️ I highly recommend it. Delicious food, from appetizers to main courses. Delicious pizza. Delicious wines. Great and friendly service. Highly recommended.

11/03/2026: Everything was great! We were in Alberobello at the beginning of March 2026 and wanted to eat something good and delicious. A recommendation led us to this restaurant. Very friendly service. Superb food, and all in all, everything was top-notch. We were looked after with attentiveness and courtesy. Thank you to everyone, and especially to Gianni. All the best to the whole team! 💫

26/09/2025: Calling it a restaurant is an understatement: it's simply beautiful and unexpected. You'd never expect the beauty and attention to detail I found on Tuesday evening in this sprawling establishment. The same attention to detail is evident in the food and service, which are excellent, excellent, excellent, if not excellent. It's a given that I'll be returning even though I'm 1,100 km away. Thank you and sincere compliments.

25/09/2025: After a year, I returned to this charming, historic restaurant, composed of many small rooms, but I was disappointed. The traditional Salento cuisine, once of a notable standard, has unfortunately declined in both quality and presentation. All the appetizers were mediocre, the first courses, including the maritati, were decent, and the guaccetto was exceptional. The desserts were good, and the recommended wine was mediocre. The service was friendly but confused and unprofessional. The price was high for the quality of the food.

06/12/2025: Everything was wonderful, including the bill.

03/11/2025: After two months of waiting, we finally went to lunch at the famous Il Capriccio restaurant. What a disappointment! The much-vaunted and highly praised tagliolini all'aragostella (lobster-like tagliolini) is nothing more than a mass of pasta with a questionable pulp (lobster?) mixed with a lot of cream. But can you serve a fish dish(?) with cream? An experience I'll never forget.

25/01/2026: Great restaurant and absolutely divine pasta. Great waiter who served us today, very nice and helpful. Beautiful environment where you will enjoy your food. Definitely try it

25/01/2026: The best pasta I've ever eaten. I definitely recommend visiting! And the waiter was also great, friendly and very nice!

18/02/2026: Excellent restaurant, equivalent to a two-star establishment in France in my opinion, at a very reasonable price considering the quality of the ingredients. Everything was delicious and prepared with care. Note that there are only a few tables available.

18/02/2026: Off-season (February), the welcome was very friendly, the service quick and efficient, the food excellent (pork knuckle, cuttlefish, lamb, or spaghetti—all perfect), the menu concise with a limited selection of dishes, which is a guarantee of quality, very few tables, and an old-fashioned decor under a stone vaulted ceiling—we were delighted. And to top it all off, a very well-stocked whisky cellar!

18/01/2026: Welcoming place, excellent local dishes, highly recommended

16/01/2026: In the heart of the ancient village of Altamura, there is a precious place that encapsulates the history of Puglia's food and wine tradition, and in particular the "AltaMurgiana" region. Typical and authentic dishes are served and explained with expert care. We were welcomed with great warmth and "pampered" from the appetizers to the homemade desserts. Each dish, prepared with love, expresses all the experience and infinite passion of Mr. Peppino and his wife Irene. Dining at CENZINO is not only a delicious experience, but also a cultural one. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

28/02/2026: The atmosphere is relaxed. The wine is expensive.

17/02/2026: This was my first time at this restaurant for dinner, and I brought some friends and locals to this simple, historic, but charming and comfortable place. We ordered a sampling of various appetizers, typical of southern Puglia, the traditional home-style cuisine of Salento, from octopus with burrata to burrata with sardines, and other appetizers, all delicious, flavorful, and very inviting. Then we had a first course of orecchiette and a type of pasta similar to elongated trofie with mini meatballs in tomato sauce—an excellent dish for connoisseurs of Puglian cuisine. Then we had a puree of broad beans with chicory. We drank a very good Puglian rosé wine. The restaurant has an excellent large cellar of local and national wines. The young staff who served us was very knowledgeable and courteous. Highly recommended for connoisseurs of the cuisine of this wonderful Italy, in every region the true richness of this nation. Congratulations!

24/02/2026: We waited an hour longer than our scheduled time. They seated us next to the entrance door, and it goes without saying that the situation inside and outside hadn't changed... it was freezing. I asked the waiter to move us, and he obliged with some difficulty. The food wasn't anything spectacular; in fact, I was very disappointed. Of everything we ordered, the only thing I truly enjoyed was the sausage in tomato sauce and the excellent ricotta with jam; the rest was flavorless tagliolini, with two scampi, and the rest were shrimp... I hope they improve.

09/02/2026: I've had tastier pastas. This deserves a 4.

21/12/2025: Called in this afternoon for an after-theater event! An entire theater company, literally pampered with their courtesy and their fresh, top-quality dishes! Excellent wine... Friendly and helpful service despite the very late hour! A heartfelt thank you, from a hungry actor... and deliciously satisfied! ❤️❤️❤️

29/10/2025: A quaint, family-friendly atmosphere, friendly and engaging service, and an excellent Apulian cuisine experience, as it should be! 🥰 Thank you!

25/09/2025: Perfect dinner. Very fresh sea bream. Well-prepared dishes. Large, well-spaced tables. We had a great time.

13/02/2026: Our favorite restaurant in Merano. Good food, good wine, friendly service. Unfortunately the seafood dishes are available on Friday only.

07/02/2026: We last went there several times seven years ago. Back then, the service and the food were excellent, and the prices were reasonable. Yesterday, we reserved a table. After 30 minutes, we got a nice seat. The waiters were brief, and since it was fish day, they recommended a whole baked fish with potatoes and vegetables. We ended up with a fish fillet covered with somewhat greasy potato slices, without any vegetables. It tasted okay. The house wine was good (0.5 liters of white, 0.5 liters of red), and the crème catalana, which we shared, was also okay. The price was considerable; we paid over 90 euros for a mediocre meal and moderately friendly service. We still enjoyed it, though. However, the quality and prices have changed drastically. Hopefully, this was just a one-off.

12/01/2026: Very kind staff and excellent products, beautiful place

22/12/2025: We are well, and we pay the right price.

07/12/2025: Chosen from a thousand, we returned two nights out of two because everything was fantastic. Authentic, traditional food, and the staff are a shining example: young and attentive, loving, and kind. A must-visit for a relaxing stay in Bari Vecchia. Plus, there's a recently opened shop across the street selling fabulous traditional products! Paolo and Simone

05/12/2025: The tasting menu is definitely worth the try as you get to experience a variety of flavours from the cold and hot dishes, and at a reasonable price. Staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful! Worth visiting if in Bari.

01/02/2026: A varied appetizer with cured meats, cheeses, and hot dishes, but all served together on a platter with no indication of what they were or what was in the terracotta pans. This is important for first-time visitors. Everything was good, however, as was the enormous "elephant ear" cutlet, which we shared between two of us. The grilled vegetables were delicious. Improved service, with minimal interruptions to comment on the dishes, would make this an excellent trattoria.

31/01/2026: Everything was very nice, the atmosphere, the service, and the food, but the price was really too high... In my opinion...
