I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliese in Brindisi

13/04/2026: The three of us were here today – with our six-month-old baby – and we're honestly still impressed. The service was absolutely fantastic. It's rare to experience such attentive, warm, and yet unobtrusive service. From the very first moment, we felt welcome. The entire team made us feel like regulars – almost like royalty. Everyone was incredibly caring and relaxed, especially with our baby, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The ambiance is harmonious, charming, and perfectly complements the overall experience. And the food? Simply spot on: authentic, creative, and prepared with a deep understanding of true Italian cuisine. We are so grateful for this serendipitous discovery and will definitely be back. A definite recommendation for anyone who wants to not just eat Italy, but truly experience it.

05/04/2026: The food was good but the dishes were poor and for what we ate we spent a bit too much.

03/05/2026: Excellent traditional cuisine with fresh ingredients. The pasta was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Staff were very courteous.!!!

03/05/2026: Delicious food with high-quality recipes and ingredients! The chef and waiter are incredibly friendly. We've been twice, and if we lived in Cisternino, we'd go regularly!

03/04/2026: Delicious food, lovely hosts, gorgeous surroundings. Being a vegan in Cisternino is quite difficult, but the chef went above and beyond to cater for my diet and I was not disappointed! I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

18/01/2026: The bauletti and bombette are exceptional. Courteous staff. I highly recommend this restaurant.

01/05/2026: Lovely place, with very tasty regional dishes. We shared the mixed antipasto, the stuffed artichokes, rabbit and fig gelato. The wines recommended (by the glass) were both very good. Staff were all switched on and very helpful.

29/04/2026: Just wonderful. Cibus really cares about top quality ingredients served simply - the cornerstone of good Italian cooking! The service here is friendly and efficient, and the menu made sure to highlight seasonal ingredients at their best. I ordered the asparagus carbonara followed by the porcetta with fennel and citrus, with married fig ice cream for dessert. All were excellent, and very reasonably priced. Cibus also allowed us to bring our own white wine into the restaurant (we had come straight from a local wine tasting!) which was so appreciated. They kept it cold for us until our dishes arrived - brilliant service! The setting for this restaurant is chic without bring pretentious, instead coming across as welcoming and well-grounded. The surrounding streets are also quiet and very pretty! I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a romantic date night, a celebration with friends and family, or just a treat dinner. Thanks Cibus! ✨

09/12/2025: We couldn't have ended the trip better. Gentlemen, what a place, what quality, what cuisine. The best tuna tartare I've ever eaten in my life, and it was simple...just tuna, with no decorations that altered the flavor of the fresh product. The cacio e pepe with shrimp was indescribable, as were the potatoes that accompanied the octopus: yes, simple potatoes that seemed heavenly. We were treated with the utmost professionalism and attention, a truly excellent place. We will return to Brindisi only to return to the Locanda del Porto.

08/12/2025: Everything is delicious. Every time we go, we feel right at home. Fresh food cooked to order. The waiters are very kind, and the owner is welcoming, smiling, and always ready to please. We go often. The menu is extensive, catering to both fish and meat eaters. The prices are fair, even lower than other restaurants. They always have the freshest fish off the menu, with no surprises on the bill. Just walking into this restaurant and being greeted with a smile is a pleasure. We've had the opportunity to try many dishes on the menu and have never been disappointed. Reservations are essential, as it's always busy. We're regular customers, and I sincerely recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat well at a fair price.

30/03/2026: Palm Sunday, lunch outside the town of Cisternino, an unexpected venue, spacious with several rooms clearly dedicated to receptions. The welcome was courteous and the staff attentive and helpful. We ordered a house appetizer and a first course. The appetizer perhaps showcases the cuisine's potential, but it should have been accompanied by a description of the various dishes and the reasons behind certain choices... finding a classic broad bean puree with strips of cephalopods is certainly not gourmet. Clearly, a passing customer is not entitled to the attention of regulars. The photos provide directions for the subsequent dishes. We enjoyed a good rosé, from the vineyards in Gioia del Colle.

22/03/2026: I chose the venue based on the good reviews, which I actually found for the food, service, and menu. However, after my personal experience, I reluctantly gave one star to the reliability of the booking confirmations, which is no small thing and undermines the venue's credibility. With a rather banal excuse, I received a ridiculous phone call a month before the event, telling me I was no longer allowed to use the venue because they had no more places for the date I had booked, and we're talking about a confirmation event for 14 people. I thank the venue for the inconvenience, I'm sure.

23/03/2026: Gino's welcome is truly a magical moment. He's kind enough to tell us his story and that of his absolutely welcoming and unique restaurant. Food.....Doc

02/03/2026: The appetizer was good, varied, and plentiful. We moved straight on to the main course, with "Potato Loaf," as it was written on the menu, but in reality, it was a slightly elongated, burnt, tough, and flavorless meatball—definitely not worth the €14 price tag. The herb timbale was so-so.

04/04/2026: We received a very warm welcome at this charming, intimate little restaurant. The service was impeccable. The food was excellent, with surprising aromas and spices. Luckily, there weren't many of us, as the dining room is quite noisy. Thank you very much.

02/04/2026: Lovely little restaurant. A definite must-try: the tiramisu. Trust me. It's a real eye-catcher.

06/04/2026: Very average. It's all okay, but as they say, it's not great. Not necessarily worth repeating.

02/04/2026: Frankly, the best meal I had in 14 days in Puglia. The pizza was fantastic, and so was the dessert. Stylish, not an Italian osteria but a modern restaurant (I know, we all want it super local). The hand-painted porcelain was truly ingenious. If you're in Ostuni, you absolutely have to go there.

18/04/2026: Excellent seafood restaurant with excellent quality. The service is commendable.

15/02/2026: We had lunch in a lovely romantic place.. kindness and professionalism are a strong point.. excellent value for money.

03/04/2026: We came based on general comments from Google reviews and left completely disappointed. The experience was worthless—the food, the service. We left with the feeling of, "I could have easily done this at home in 15 minutes."

02/04/2026: If you're looking for the real experience, this is the place. It feels like the whole family works here together. It's loud, fun, and crowded. The food is really good, perfect for a quick stop.

02/04/2026: Great place for value, solid food and big portion for low prices. Service is a bit chaotic at start but then became efficient. The place is big and therefore quite loud.

22/03/2026: An ideal place for lunch or dinner for those who don't have to worry about blood sugar or cholesterol levels. Generous, well-prepared portions are served, with fast, friendly service.

13/04/2026: The slow cooked chicken and thigh dish was excellent - the meat was tender and tastefully sauced. The coffee mascarpone cream desert had a unique coffee taste and not sweet. Service was excellent. The restaurant was beautifully decorated inside and outside. After dinner, we went back for afternoon coffee and desert the next afternoon

13/04/2026: Wa had the best octopus and the best parmigiana of our life in this charming little place. Also, the view, the music & the kindness of the staff made our experience even more enjoyable. A moment I won't forget xx

02/05/2026: A welcoming and authentic trattoria where you immediately feel at home. The orecchiette with brasciole sauce is the highlight: flavorful, well-cooked, and with a rich, traditional sauce. The bombette are also excellent! The appetizers are generous and authentic, perfect for a starter. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is family-friendly. A simple yet truly satisfying place.

02/05/2026: Very nice and tidy typical restaurant.. Amazing Bombette!!
