I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliese

08/08/2025: We returned after many years. I'm in love with this place. Always a great location 🥰 dreamy. You eat with your eyes and your mouth ❤️ Very friendly staff. Not to mention the owner. Exquisite person. Only flaw...my octopus in a pot was a bit small (in quantity). What a shame.

08/08/2025: My husband and I visited this restaurant a few days ago and were truly pleasantly surprised by this culinary gem in the heart of Salento. Beyond the evocative, almost breathtaking location, the exquisite delicacies offered are certainly noteworthy. Also worthy of mention is the kindness and friendliness of the young woman who took our orders. When we return to Salento, we will definitely stop here again. Five stars more than deserved.

14/07/2025: Excellent food, flavor, and kindness make this place unique. Well done!!!!

27/05/2025: We stumbled upon this place by chance. We have been going to Rieti for ages but we didn't know about it. What a wonderful surprise. The fish is very well prepared, simple but tasty, choice of raw materials, care in handling. I hadn't eaten like this for a long time. The fried food is white, impalpable. The pasta is cooked to perfection. Our new favorite place both for the cuisine and for the very friendly innkeeper, as she likes to call herself

20/07/2025: Lunch with a couple of friends. The quality of the products was very good (we ordered four starters and sampled some of the cake tins). The service definitely needs improvement: we chose the wine, and the waiter let one of us taste it and then didn't pour any more wine for the taster or the other guests. After explaining the menu to us, he would have taken our orders in less than five minutes. When he started serving the different cake tins, we would have appreciated being asked if we liked them without taking it for granted (after all, there are different types, so in our opinion it's impossible to try them all). The bill was a bit steep for what we ate. The restaurant's interior is beautiful. A starter + 2-3 cake tin samples + dessert + wine €50 per person.

17/07/2025: Esperianza meravigliosa nel verde. Il menu è uno spettacolo, antipasti ricchi e genuini, primi fatti in casa e secondi di carne deliziosi. Servizio impeccabile, personale cordiale, attento e preparato, sempre pronto a consigliare con sorriso. Consiglio a tutti!

21/08/2025: It was a real favorite! This restaurant, recommended by our host, turned out to be a little gem, far from the hustle and bustle of Bari. The welcome was excellent, and our taste buds embarked on a true culinary journey, from the aperitif to the dessert. We opted for dishes from the à la carte menu, and each plate was a delight for the eyes and an exquisite delight for the palate. The portions were generous, far from the "samples" you sometimes find elsewhere, and the recommended wine was truly a delight. We appreciated the careful table setting with its beautiful, refined tableware, as well as the modern, warm, and elegant decor, as well as the opulent terrace. Thank you, Chef, for this memorable dinner. I took the liberty of recommending you in the Michelin guide given your talent, which truly deserves to be known and recognized.

04/08/2025: For those who choose an intimate, clean, delicate, romantic place, Trattoria Moderna is definitely the choice to make. I don't want to write things that are always written and banal. Try it and then you'll understand.

27/08/2025: Absolutely lovely in a small side street. Very friendly and efficient staff. The orecchiette is very good and authentic. The oven-baked lamb had quite a lot of bones and not much meat, with an intense flavor. Very good white wine from the half bottle.

27/08/2025: A charming little alleyway and then this trattoria Bère Vecchie (from the Spanish for "old quarter"). Very friendly service, absolutely uncomplicated. We eat very well, first with various orecchiette, then we share a plate of lamb (the pieces are cut with a funny nose-to-tail style). It's yucky, but not too bad, just rather chewy. Not cheap, but OK. Recommended, as it's extremely friendly!

29/08/2025: I came here on foot when I arrived in Milan because I was staying in the neighborhood. The two owners, Lucia and Michele, were super nice and very welcoming. I arrived at lunchtime with all my bags and ate a delicious Milanese ribeye steak. They offered me service and dessert! I met my parents in Milan who were passing through as they were doing a European cycling tour, and the evening of my departure, I took them there to eat to introduce them to this delicious, typical Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was incredible; the restaurant was full! The owners recognized me and were very friendly and welcoming. They even offered us dessert! I highly recommend this restaurant. At lunchtime, the atmosphere is quite calm and friendly, and in the evening, the service is enthusiastic and fast! The dishes are delicious and the portions are very generous. The pizzas are also delicious and very affordable! A big thank you to Lucia and Michele for their exceptional welcome and warm smiles! Clearly one of the best places in Milan!

27/08/2025: I've been coming here for almost 40 years. They're always the same. Friendly, polite, and the food is excellent. Top!

31/08/2025: Everything was good, except for the dishes, which were pretty average. We had spaghetti and cod. Avoid the tiramisu.

31/08/2025: Wow. Everything was a m a z i n g

25/08/2025: Servizio buono un po' lunghi i tempi d'attesa ma tutto sommato lo consiglierei.

14/08/2025: By far the most wonderful and unforgettable evening during our two-week stay in Bari. No other restaurant has been so genuinely hospitable and attentive to a young family with a 2.5-year-old child – a place to return to and THE insider tip for authentic Apulian cuisine! Thanks to the entire team for this special evening!

23/08/2025: Had a delicious lunch. Friendly service, good value for money. Close to the historic center.

21/08/2025: Beautiful place, very intimate and well-kept. The food was delicious, the orecchiette with white lamb ragù was truly delicious. We spent about €43 per person with an appetizer, first course, and wine. Highly recommended!

24/08/2025: The quality of the pasta was there, really nothing to say, the tiramisu was exquisite too, I recommend this place, it's worth the detour. Thanks to Enrique for his professionalism!

24/08/2025: We went shortly after opening with a group of seven. We did not have a reservation, but they were able to find us a table. The service was excellent, the prices were very reasonable, and the food was very good. Highly recommend the Panna cotta with strawberries. For those with food allergies, the menu contained allergens for every food option which made it very easy to identify which foods to avoid.

26/08/2025: Very traditional food, delicious and reasonably priced. You need to book in advance.

25/08/2025: A simple, hearty trattoria serving traditional Lecce dishes, located on a quiet street in the historic center. Despite this, it's a popular spot for locals and tourists alike; unless you book well in advance, it's incredibly difficult to get a seat—which alone is a great calling card. The food is good, the price is fair, and it's not a tourist scam.

04/08/2025: A precious place. Authentic food, like it used to be. Each dish has the sincere flavor of home cooking tied to the local area. All the products are locally sourced, far from the homogenizing dynamics of large-scale retail trade. It's no coincidence that it's a Slow Food Presidium. The menu features dishes featuring seasonal herbs and wild vegetables that you can only find here (like orecchiette with purslane, pasta with prickly pear peels, or myrtle frittatas). A special treat: moka pot coffee accompanied by sweet taralli and candied orange peel. Not to be missed.

25/07/2025: A quaint restaurant, with one foot in tradition and the other in innovation. Authentic cuisine with seasonal, locally sourced products. A blast from the past (I remember only eating bread like this at my grandmother's). A rare philosophy worth preserving. Excellent hospitality (Gino personally accompanies you to your table, explaining his menu and conveying his passion for his work). Even the accessories (bread baskets, lunch boxes, etc.) are handmade. As for the food, the appetizers would be enough, but whatever you choose, you can't go wrong (the prickly pear paddles and amaranth leaf fritters are a surprise). We highly recommend it. Thank you, Gino 🙏🏼😊 from Franco and Stefania.

10/08/2025: A very nice restaurant in the center of Ostuni with a beautiful, well-kept terrace. The dishes are very good and tasty, and the staff is very friendly.

10/08/2025: A charming place in the alleys of Ostuni. We discovered it while looking for a vegan option, and we found an excellent restaurant. They pay attention to the ambiance and the selection of ingredients, from vegetables to meat and fish. The dishes we chose were exquisite, beautiful to look at, and above all, delicious. Undoubtedly excellent. Highly recommended. *****

31/08/2025: Tourist trap, the service was terrible. The place was very messy and the food was horrible. I don't recommend going to this place at all.

31/08/2025: Great place for the atmosphere and food alike, especially for small plates and traditional local options.

05/06/2025: Appreciated the bathroom, because it was clean and equipped. The artisanal desserts only on weekends (we opted for fresh strawberries and cream since we passed during the week). Anyway, compliments for the quality and flavor of the raw materials. We will return..

04/06/2025: Un'idea all'apparenza banale si tramuta nel punto di forza di questo locale: prodotti locali a km zero, ovvero come la tradizione della cucina pugliese sposa la genuinità degli ingredienti semplici, rendendo squisite ricette tradizionali della nostra cultura.
