I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliese in Brindisi

06/08/2026: Really good food, but you do have to make a reservation there, otherwise there is no room.

30/07/2026: What a disappointment... We arrived at this lovely restaurant, and the promise was excellent given the very characteristic location. However, it took an hour just to order, and the food was anything but typical... A place for tourists who leave happy because they don't know Italian food. Definitely avoid.

14/07/2026: A charming little restaurant with an authentic atmosphere, authentic and tasty traditional local dishes, and a rare kind owner. I really hope to return before I leave.

14/07/2026: Dinner with friends, tables outside, quiet street. Mr. Luigi was delicious, like everything we ate. I asked questions because I was curious, and I learned that he was in the same business, so I learned that it was a family-run business that was coming of age this year. The recommended wine was perfect for us, and the fava beans and friggitelli were also really good. The attention to detail in the bathroom was exceptional. Well done! And so much passion and patience...

10/08/2026: A true hidden gem in Cisternino/Apulia. A very pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious Italian cuisine at fair prices. Reservations for the rooftop terrace are highly recommended.

09/08/2026: A decidedly unpleasant experience, one not to be repeated. We waited over an hour without receiving our dishes. When we asked for an explanation, we were told they would bring everything together, from appetizers to main courses. Our order had obviously been forgotten or handled very poorly. We left the restaurant after about two and a half hours, leaving behind some of the dishes we'd ordered because we were no longer hungry. The worst part? When it came time to get the bill, not even an apology or a gesture of attention. A terrible experience, both in terms of the service and the total lack of professionalism and consideration for the customer. An experience definitely not to be repeated.

31/05/2026: Respecting tradition but with a touch of innovation. Excellent products and a superb cheeseboard.

30/05/2026: This is a truly incredible restaurant with gourmet food and excellent service

11/08/2026: Delicious food, especially the antipasto were fantastic. Beautiful location too.

10/08/2026: A beautiful rustic place where you can eat well, even vegetarians.

15/06/2026: Great atmosphere and quality food. The tiramisu and limoncello are amazing! It’s run by the cutest family and if you’re lucky you can witness the most wonderful sunset….

15/06/2026: Without a doubt, the best in the area. Excellent quality, friendly staff, and top-notch professionalism!

13/08/2026: Nice place and atmosphere. Friendly stuff. I had a grilled octopus and it was slightly bitter.

13/08/2026: Delicious food, good wine selection, excellent service 😊

13/06/2026: Nice quiet place, local food a little revisited but which retains the local characteristics

09/06/2026: Edit: It is a pity that the owner is not open to constructive feedback. A good restaurant takes advice and criticism to heart. I believe I provided well-substantiated feedback. PS. My plates were not empty, not at all, in fact. I feel conflicted. Attracted by the high review score and beautiful photos, we made a reservation here. Expectations were high. We were given a table in the covered section. The photos looked infinitely more atmospheric than the covered area with bright, cold lighting and carnival lights that we actually had to deal with. However, when I went to the restroom, I saw that it is a beautiful place inside. Perhaps I shouldn't have judged too quickly. The service was friendly and helpful and spoke good English. The food... I don't understand it. The bread was stale; that can happen. I had the pasta with octopus as a primi and the tuna with eggplant carpaccio as a secondi. My wife had a pasta with bacon and lamb chops. Although all the dishes looked beautiful in terms of presentation, I must admit that it was inedible to me. The octopus pasta tasted so incredibly strongly of old, overly concentrated, and bitter fish flavor that my stomach turned. I thought it was just me, but my wife, also a big fish lover, had the same reaction when I let her taste it. Unfortunately, I had to leave the primi after two small bites. The secondi (tuna with eggplant carpaccio) was once again a picture in terms of presentation, but the fish was clearly not fresh and had an impossibly strong aftertaste. The eggplant had the same much too intense fishy taste. My partner had lamb chops that were well prepared, but it was clearly not top-quality lamb. When we asked for some mayonnaise with our potatoes, we were given the remaining sachets of Heinz mayonnaise and ketchup. These did not come from the kitchen but were leftovers from an empty table further away. That wouldn't even be such a disaster in itself, were it not that one of the sachets was already open, leaving all the sachets covered in ketchup. If the fish had been fresh, and the chef had tasted the dish before serving it (and determined that it was inedible in this state), the food would have received 4 stars from me. Because of this, I unfortunately have to rate the score at 1 star. The service was friendly and helpful. But using sauce sachets from another table is a no-go. Also, tilting the plate so that the cutlery falls onto the table when clearing it, instead of lifting it briefly (or better yet, using new cutlery), is not exactly proper etiquette when clearing plates. Unfortunately, I cannot make it any better. I really don't have very high expectations, and I am not a culinary snob. I just want tasty, edible food and acceptable service. Perhaps it was just a combination of unfortunate circumstances. Hence, not 1 star, but 2 stars.

14/08/2026: A REALLY NICE PLACE, EXCELLENT FOOD AND KIND AND POLITE STAFF 🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. CONGRATULATIONS. I RECOMMEND IT.

12/08/2026: This is simply the best restaurant around. Delicious, tasty food for reasonable prices, live to go there every time again !

10/08/2026: Excellent food! Superb staff who speak several languages. Beautiful location. Reasonable price, just a stone's throw from the cathedral.

10/08/2026: Far too touristy. Disappointed with the food, the bruschetta was tasteless, the pasta with the meatballs was bland... we won't be back.

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.

07/08/2026: Excellent traditional Bari dishes. Characterful, family-friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!

06/08/2026: Must try! Tradition and innovation go hand in hand at this inn.

16/08/2026: Great place in the shadows, above average food, nice style

15/08/2026: This elegant and well-decorated restaurant in the center of Ostuni is a place for ten of us, serving both pizza and restaurant-style dishes. The ingredients were excellent. The bread and taralli were homemade. The fried fish and artichokes and the pasta with chickpeas and mussels were delicious. We finished with delicious homemade desserts. The prices were reasonable for the quality, and the staff was super friendly. It's definitely worth a try!

18/08/2026: We had dinner at Taverna della Gelosia and were truly delighted. We had an appetizer of cheeses accompanied by jams and honey, and orecchiette pasta: everything was delicious and carefully prepared. The atmosphere and setting, truly quaint, evocative, and unique, made the experience even more enjoyable. A place that captures all the charm of Ostuni. Excellent cuisine, beautiful setting, and a special atmosphere. Definitely a place worth trying, and one I'd happily return to!

15/08/2026: Four of us sat on the veranda overlooking the sea, a cool, quiet place. Delicious food, impeccable service; they even changed our table because we pointed out it was swaying. The eggplant parmigiana was fantastic! Excellent desserts. Average price for a tourist spot on August 15th.
