I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliese in Puglia

21/08/2024: Without a doubt the best dining experience I have ever had in Italy, and in contention of all time. The setting of the dining area and food itself are so true to the local area. The staff were both friendly and professional from the moment you walk in the door to your departure and took pride in explaining the sources of their ingredients, which are almost entirely drawn from the local area. A landmark of Puglian cuisine, and a must stop for anyone traveling through the area!

17/08/2024: Recently relocated on a terrace with wonderful views on Trani medieval castle, the Di Gennaro family built a close to perfection fine dining Apulian experience. The restaurant is beautiful both inside and outside, refined and perfectly blended in the environment. The service was excellent, kind and friendly with invading our spaces. The restaurant had also no problem into accommodating variations on the menu proposed. But let’s come to the reason to come here, the gastronomical offer of Quintessenza is deeply rooted into the chef local background, relying on seafood and not being afraid of using staples of the regional cuisine twisting them into something more. The menu we tried was a crescendo in intensity and depth but keeping its balance all the way through from the amuses to the dessert. Personal favourites are the Tortellini and the Fusillone with a mention for the Alici fritte and the Coffee almond and lemon dessert.

26/08/2024: Let's go take a course on how to make caponata

20/08/2024: Amazing pistachio ravioli. A little slow, but overall very good.

28/07/2024: Passing through for a Sunday lunch, never was a more appropriate choice. Cozy and well-kept environment. Pasquale is an excellent host, you can sense the passion and craft that animate his work. We left it to him: the table soon became a palette of colors and flavors that know how to nourish in the deepest sense of the term. We couldn't choose between the two first courses of the day so we tried them both. Hard to decide which was the best. Very good house red wine. Excellent value for money. Ultimately, a highly recommended place, especially for those who want to support local businesses - and who valorise local ingredients and knowledge - in a family and relaxing atmosphere, with fast and attentive service. Thanks to Pasquale and collaborators!

09/07/2024: Lugar simples e aconchegante com comida bem feita. Típica osteria com comida muitosa típica da região. Sem frescura mas muito satisfatória

06/08/2024: All perfect Welcoming and friendly staff The super fast service Excellent price

02/08/2024: I went there for lunch on the recommendation of locals. Let me start by saying that the place is impeccable in terms of quality/price ratio, but it cannot be defined as a real restaurant. The dishes are served with the speed of a diner. This affects the quality of the dish, however - due to low prices - it is accepted.

28/08/2024: Very nice place in the historic center of Noci, nice and friendly service and staff and also very fast (which is not a given in the area) the food reminded me of some dishes that my grandmothers prepared.. well done, keep going like this..

28/08/2024: Hi, we were a few days ago because we were on holiday and unfortunately we didn't have a great time. We took some parsley tagliolini with seafood and in the dishes we found two tiny mussels and two prawns and the octopus with a potato base and the octopus was hard and we also had ordered the chicory which was sautéed chard unfortunately disappointing

25/08/2024: La Locanda di Nonna Mena is like going to dinner with dear friends, you feel welcomed and pampered and enjoy good simple food in a relaxed and relaxed atmosphere, if you happen to be in San Vito dei Normanni go there! (but book in advance, the place is small, which is another of its good qualities, serving a few at a time with care and attention) PS: our little dog Oliver misses his Nanny who spoiled him with some delicious biscuits! Absolutely honest prices!

22/08/2024: Terzo anno consecutivo. E sempre felici della scelta. Cucina sincera e schietta, piatti della tradizione eseguiti a regola d’arte, un servizio impeccabile e un’accoglienza che fa sentire a casa. Non perdetevi il fritto di paranza e le orecchiette!

23/08/2024: After a visit to the Castellana caves we decided to go to lunch in this restaurant, we started with a truly excellent mixed house starter, consisting of six courses: burrata that melted in the mouth, local pecorino, omelettes with vegetables, meatballs with sauce , asparagus wrapped in bacon baked au gratin and finally capocollo of Martina Franca top. Followed by spaghetti with mussels and datterini tomatoes and tagliolini with speck, fried aubergines and cherry tomatoes. Followed by mozzarella wrapped in bacon cooked on the grill and aubergines parmesan, all truly exceptional. The only flaw found in the midst of so much perfection, the chef doesn't blame me, was some cooked ham in the parmigiana which we didn't like very much. The service is friendly and attentive, The prices are more than fair for what they offer. Highly recommended.

22/08/2024: 10/10 experience! Pasquale is very kind, and so are all the staff. Very high quality food!

17/08/2024: Typical Salento octopus and pasta with fish ragù. Everything excellent. We asked for two glasses of wine and he made us pay for the whole bottle but the glasses were very plentiful. I'd say ok. Dinner for two, 60 euros with small discount included. I would happily stay here again

10/08/2024: We were looked after by Assunta, very kind. Homemade pasta dishes, very good. I also recommend the tagliatelle, very good

21/08/2024: Apparently a quality restaurant for tourists, which turns out to be a pleasant surprise: a table where Salento cuisine is offered in its truest tradition, from appetizers to desserts it's all a journey into tradition... and last but not least. ... coffee made with the Moka. Congratulations to the owner and his staff for their kindness and professionalism

20/08/2024: Excellent experience in every sense. We ended up by chance at 'Scante, in fact after finding various restaurants full, we were directed to one of the points of this group right there. The manager was incredible both for the advice on the courses and for the attention given to us and to everyone in the restaurant. We were looked after and treated impeccably by the staff. As regards the quality of the dishes, it must necessarily be said "excellent", given the level. I took everything on advice, trusting blindly: 2 starters, 2 first courses, 1 second course and dessert. I split the starters and also tasted all the others' dishes and the standard was the same. The price is honest, perhaps too much considering the high quality of the food. As soon as we return to Lecce, 'Scante will be an obligatory stop to appreciate traditional cuisine in a truly pleasant environment. Compliments.

08/08/2024: Excellent food. Perfect service. A family restaurant. Worth the trip to Martina Franca.

29/07/2024: Very characteristic place in the extramural belt of Martina Franca. Very delicious gourmet dishes.

09/08/2024: Verfijnde gerechten, gezellige sfeer, mooi kader. Mooi wijnassortiment. Het restaurant is heel centraal gelegen. Kortom: een aanrader!

25/07/2024: Locale pulito e molto elegante. Personale disponibile e cortese. I piatti curati e di qualità. Il prezzo forse un pelo eccessivo, ma ne vale la pena

14/08/2024: Location incantevole, atmosfera bellissima in un suggestivo borgo, servizio eccellente e professionale, cibo ottimo e ricercato. L'accostamento ardito di sapori soddisfa i palati più esigenti. Il personale è molto attento e celere nel rispondere alle richieste dei clienti.

13/08/2024: Due sere fa abbiamo cenato qui, su consiglio di amici molto entusiasti e in visita a Ruffano, un bellissimo paese. Il locale è credo nella piazza più bella del paese, molto suggestiva, i tavoli “alla buona” risistemati e lo stile è un mix tra tranquillo e sofisticato, difficile da spiegare. Abbiamo notato subito la gentilezza estrema e non falsa dei camerieri, i tempi sono stati molto rapidi. Abbiamo presto come antipasti il cavallo sgombrato, ottimo e originale idea; e la ceviche alla barbabietola di pesce, ottimi entrambi. Il mio primo una pasta al peperone arrostito, ostrica e pomodoro era eccezionale, quello del mio compagno: una pappardella al fondo di coniglio e cipolla mi ha ricordato le domeniche da nonna, è assurdo come il sapore fosse uguale. Il mio compagno però ha ritenuto un po’ forti i contrasti, lo chef gioca un po’ su questo e a qualcuno potrebbe non piacere. Ottimi i rosoli a fine cena, ci è dispiaciuto non provare i loro cocktail ma dopo il vino non abbiamo potuto. Prezzi medio/alti ma assolutamente giustificato. L’unica difficoltà che ho avuto, ma subito risolta, è la scelta dei piatti, essendo intollerante a diversi ingredienti nel menu è stato un piccolo slalom evitarli. Torneremo sicuramente, è sempre più raro trovare ristoranti che ti “spiazzano” piacevolmente mantenendo il richiamo alle tradizioni.

13/08/2024: Delicious dishes, excellent service.

12/08/2024: Arrived from Calabria and had dinner at the port inn, nothing to say, everything was exceptional, from the food to the kindness of the waiters, I would definitely go back and recommend it to everyone, it's worth it

28/07/2024: Osteria where you feel pampered and at home. The food is homemade but cooked with a lot of attention to the ingredients (strictly local) and with a lot of love. For us, an obligatory stop on Sunday. Today an extraordinary burnt wheat troccolo with sausage tips sauce and a very tender beef stew. What more do you want from life? A house liqueur? There's that too!

27/07/2024: Tried it during lunch break, thanks to the suggestion of friends; the outside is not particularly inviting but as soon as you open the door you enter a modern but warm dining room like "grandma's"! The menu already provides a clear possibility of choice but then the owner, explaining the dishes, certainly gives excellent advice for choosing based on tastes. The food, although simple, is generally made using products that are easily available locally and is very tasty for particular combinations, even if not typical of traditional Apulian cuisine. Definitely worth trying again without hesitation!

07/08/2024: Un bel posticcino dove abbiamo preso un caffè e un gelato in pomeriggio. Tutto molto carino e personale simpatico. Grazie mille!

28/07/2024: Trouvé par hasard sur internet, nous sommes tombé sur un des meilleurs restaurants d'Italie. Une cuisine traditionnelle très légèrement revisitée. Des produits de première qualité et des quantités généreuses. Un prix respectable (seule surprise : le pain et couverts à 3 euros) Un service impeccable mais sans chichi; on se sent à l'aise du début à la fin. A faire impérativement si vous visiter la région!!!
