I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliese in Lombardia

27/07/2025: I've been calling for two days, no one's answering. I wanted to have Sunday lunch with friends, but it was closed, not even a sign saying it was closed for vacation or any other reason. Truly terrible attitude. (Note the owner's response, who, despite being completely in the wrong, instead of apologizing for not updating the opening and closing hours on Google or De Fork, not even putting up a closed sign, calls me a pain in the ass, because it's my fault for not having a crystal ball and not realizing they were closed!? But it's the comedy of the absurd. These days people use Google Maps or the De Fork app, and there it said you were open. I showed up in person to find out it was closed!) You have no respect for your customers. That's the truth. And then you're not humble enough to accept it, and apologizing only makes the situation worse. Obviously, I will never try to dine at your place again. Terrible, terrible attitude.

22/07/2025: A typical authentic Apulian osteria. Everything we ate was excellent, and the guy who served us was also fantastic!! We'll definitely be back.

16/08/2025: A place to sample the specialties and quality of Apulian cuisine, in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. 🔝

05/08/2025: I didn't find anything Apulian, very high prices, the mozzarella is hard without a drop of milk, they should put it in warm water before serving it otherwise it's too dry, I definitely won't go back for a business lunch given how much it costs and how it's eaten

06/07/2025: The place is really very nice, the food is good, the staff is kind and the background playlist is fabulous!!!! Even the prices are quite fair..I will definitely go back 😊

03/07/2025: Eaten for a lunch break. Nice and clean place and very particular in the furnishings...the waiters very kind and friendly. I had the margherita pizza and my wife a plate of ham and melon that was perfect in this heat 😂. Anyway very good pizza one of the best tasted in recent years. Fresh ham and excellent melon. Highly recommended to everyone.

17/07/2025: An absolutely negative experience, starting with a fish-based first course, cavatelli with mussels for €19.90. It tasted nothing like mussels, and instead of creamed mussels, the broth was watery, with the other dominant flavor being arugula. We continued with orecchiette with meatballs for €19.90, and there were only three meatballs. The orecchiette with horse meat ragù and scamorza cheese were nothing to write home about. We continued with a plate of sun-dried tomatoes for €10 for a truly meager number. The service was disappointing, something to forget. Finally, at the end, we were told that this happens, and regarding the number of meatballs, we could have asked the waiter for more. This was all accompanied by extreme indifference, rudeness, and arrogance, when the duty of a restaurant manager, since the owner was not present, is to be attentive to the customer and, if there is a problem, to try to resolve it. Because the customer is paying you a lot, and this treatment is unworthy.

17/07/2025: Arriving at the restaurant, we're greeted by a waiter with a practically inexistent tone of voice. He's polite at first, but communication is difficult due to the background music and his decidedly low voice. He asks about various dishes: how are the "tongue burners"? "Hey, they're spicy." "How are the cheeses?" "They're ours." Okay... We'd already figured this out, but we'd have liked more clarification. The wine arrives, already opened without even being tasted. We order two first courses, one with pasta and meat (excellent, orecchiette with horse meat ragù and scamorza), the other with fish, which would have been better prepared in an elementary school cafeteria. Cavatelli with mussels, in a flavorless broth because it's also covered in the flavor of too much arugula (which I love, but used in just the right amount). My friend politely complains about this dish, but the waiter takes it personally. We explain that it's absolutely not his fault, but rather the fault of whoever cooked it. I wanted to order rice, potatoes, and mussels, still hungry, but "scared" by the first course, I didn't want to take the responsibility of ordering another dish for €19.90, risking a second disappointment. I ordered dried tomatoes, €9.90, a small dessert plate arrived, and I was asked if it was okay. I said yes, so that if it wasn't to my liking, at least I wouldn't have to throw that away too (I hate wasting food). Dried tomatoes... the ones from the worst supermarkets are better. After dinner, we ordered two desserts, coffee, and stood up for the bill. My friend at the cash register kindly pointed out the various mix-ups with some dishes and service. The gentleman at the cash register responded impatiently, with the waiter staring at us while he was behind us drinking from a mug (drinking water, of course), as if he wanted to hear if we were complaining about him, after having repeatedly expressed our complaint solely about the quality of some dishes compared to the price. I approached the cashier, pointing out his indifferent responses, and received equally indifferent responses, from a "man" to a well-mannered woman, so much so that I stooped to his level, telling him I'd "throw the money in his face" after being told "don't pay for dinner and leave." It's not about money; we go out for lunch every other day, we pay and leave tips for those who deserve it, for those who do their job honorably. There are some of us who have worked in the restaurant business for years and have never dared to behave like this. I haven't seen such service and rudeness in a long time. I wouldn't have had any expectations, other than perhaps politely asking if we'd liked anything else other than the "badly" served dish, or we would have expected some manager to intervene, asking what was wrong after the second complaint. But evidently, this restaurant likes to lose customers. I don't usually write reviews, unless they're exclusively positive; I'd rather abstain. But when it's too much, it's too much. And yes, we left without paying, after the responses we received, but we'd definitely be willing to return and pay the owner, perhaps after an apology from the incompetent staff. Oh, we're three from Puglia...
