I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliese in Puglia

11/09/2025: Pleasant experience. Excellent value. Excellent selection of traditional dishes. Service was basic, but nothing to complain about. Service was prompt despite the place being crowded, even for a midweek dinner in September. It's a shame, as I'm a vegetarian, that I couldn't enjoy the only non-fish dish (I was told it's only available on Sundays).

11/09/2025: There's always a line, even if it moves quickly. The food is good.

30/08/2025: A wonderful restaurant right in the heart of Bari with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are not only kind and attentive but also happy to recommend delicious dishes and wines. Everything was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. We truly felt welcomed and taken care of – we will definitely be coming back and can only recommend this place.

29/08/2025: Very good food. Friendly service. A truly Italian atmosphere.

02/09/2025: I was there 2 days ago, on Sunday evening, and I am truly disappointed. When I arrived, I said hello and ask them politely to give me a table. (There were free tables, but I wanted to be polite and wait for them to give me a table) However, they did not say hello, did not give me a table, then I chose one, then they said that I should move to another table. Then two waiters (two men, one of them was black) were arguing and pointig to each other who should come to me and take my order. That was rude and disrespectful and I left without eating anything there. I came here, because I heard, that it is a good place, but a good place should not allow the waiters to be rude with the guests.

02/09/2025: We ate well, abundant dishes and excellent value for money, attention to service, very beautiful location

02/09/2025: Cosy place with very tasty seafood.

01/09/2025: Plain Italian cooking at its best. The food, mostly fish, is fresh and excellently cooked. Delicious pasta. Great value for money - but go early for an outside table or reserve in advance. A real find.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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

07/09/2025: The delicious home-cooked Puglian cuisine in Manduria is a must for anyone staying there. 🫶😘 Best wishes from Braunschweig

06/09/2025: The atmosphere is small but very welcoming, with generous portions and dishes prepared according to the Salento and Apulian traditions. Prices are reasonable for the quantity and quality of the dishes. The service was very fast, and the order was taken "by heart" (there were 14 of us) without missing a beat. The service was unparalleled, we'll be back!

11/09/2025: Excellent food and service, although the reservation didn't seem to mean anything

10/09/2025: We tried to have lunch there, and although there were 5 free tables, it wasn’t okay because we were only two people and they were waiting for larger groups to fill them. They weren’t friendly at all and tried to give us a table that was quite low and isolated. When we didn’t accept the table they proposed, they seemed very annoyed. I believe some places are overrated.

12/09/2025: Like every year, after our Orthodox mass on Thursday while on vacation, we visited the "Ostoria Le Arpie." We enjoyed both the meat dish and the fish platter. The grilled octopus could have been seared a little more. Very satisfied, as every year.

12/09/2025: Professional restaurant, good welcome, fast service. The dishes follow one another without waiting until coffee, even though it was busy this lunchtime.

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.

31/08/2025: Simple, local dishes, and a must-try appetizer. The owner recommends ordering after their appetizer. It may not be a trendy place, but the food here makes all the difference. Highly recommended.

22/08/2025: We happened to be in Ceglie on our way back from Cisternino and found this restaurant, which was a real surprise. The menu is simple, with excellent, locally sourced ingredients, cooked with just a few ingredients to enhance the flavor. The appetizer is rich and plentiful, full of vegetables like purslane or fig blade with grated caciotta cheese, meatballs served with parmesan and spicy sauces, a delicate ricotta and mozzarella knots, various soufflés, bread and pizza, and delicious cured meats. We tried the orecchiette with very delicate anchovies, but everything was very generous. I would have liked to try more, but we saved room for the apple pie and the lemon and apple granita. Compliments to Mr. Gino and his staff. Highly recommended.

07/09/2025: The food was well cooked and plentiful, the place was very characteristic, the only flaw was the small and old bathroom.

31/08/2025: We had lunch today. The staff were friendly and professional. The food was excellent!

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.
