I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

06/09/2025: Very welcoming place...If you want home-cooked food, this is the place to go. The appetizers are generous, as are the first courses. The fried fish could perhaps be improved.

22/08/2025: Excellent place, delicious home-made appetizers, full dishes and traditional dishes, truly super, the fried food is delicious, the staff are friendly and very polite, I will return soon, highly recommended

05/08/2025: Exceptional bakery in Cisternino, with oil, akua, semolina, in short all types of bread that in the trullo last between 5 and 7 days (in Milan bread now costs a fortune and it disappears WHILE YOU GO TO HOUSE!!!). KAIMANO!!

09/10/2025: Great ambience, excellent cuisine and attentive staff.

01/10/2025: We have been in Cisternino for 18 nights and this is our favourite restaurant. We have been twice with our choice for our last night here and it did not disappoint. It is casual and laybacked. Not too expensive and a great atmosphere. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

28/09/2025: Excellent food. The price, quality, and quantity were exceptional. The place is very well-maintained, despite being a trattoria. The staff were friendly. We went in the dark, and it was a wonderful surprise. We'll be back.

20/09/2025: A surreal place, it feels like you've gone back in time, truly a leap into the past. I had a great time, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the owner was very present and thoughtful. I highly recommend it.

12/09/2025: The dishes are neither good nor bad. The quality/price ratio is acceptable. The atmosphere and staff are quite dull... Smile a little more!

18/07/2025: The orecchiette with ragù were special! Truly delicious. The place is cozy and quiet, with friendly service. Highly recommended.

20/09/2025: Excellent place to spend evenings or afternoons in the company of friends having aperitifs

11/09/2025: Maria Antonietta is incompetent; when she's there, the bar closes an hour earlier than usual. She's also unprofessional, lazy, and absent. It's a shame, because the rest of the staff is excellent.

28/09/2025: We ate at the restaurant two evenings. The fish was very good, and the older waiter was very friendly and competent. The second evening was less good; we had to wait over an hour for a fish soup and a pizza. The waiter was partially apologetic. However, the behavior of this older lady – apparently the manager – who showed no sign of regret when asked was extremely unpleasant and completely unprofessional. The same was true of the behavior of the lady at the cashier, apparently the daughter of the house, who responded to my comment in an arrogant and not at all service-oriented manner. The only logical consequence: we ate at a different restaurant for the next three days. As a guest, you don't have to put up with such arrogance from the owners!!!

18/09/2025: The quality of the food is truly impressive, the fish is incredibly fresh, but what really makes the difference is the service. Mimmo is a true professional, thanks for the advice, and thanks to him, we'll be back.

15/10/2025: Excellent place, friendly and helpful staff. Their strong point, in my opinion, is the local cuisine and excellent appetizers. The pizza is a bit less so in comparison, but it's also above average. I'll definitely be back.

08/10/2025: Beautiful place, everything good with local products

27/06/2025: Very good food and a huge selection. The quality is high and the staff is very kind and helpful. Open kitchen and very clean environment.

20/08/2025: I got takeaway pizza and panzerotti... everything was good.

30/07/2025: Excellent hospitality and helpfulness. Thank you very much

12/10/2025: Pizzeria Imperiale in Andria is a guarantee of quality: excellent pizzas, light dough, and always fresh ingredients. Quick and friendly service, a welcoming and well-maintained space. Excellent value, ideal for an evening with friends or family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

24/08/2025: We dined here as a couple and had a wonderful experience in every way. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was kind and attentive. A highlight worth highlighting is the quality of the gluten-free pizza: light, easy to digest, and incredibly tasty. The service was impeccable, fast, and always friendly. An experience we'll definitely repeat and recommend without hesitation.

15/08/2025: top pizza, fairly fast service and nice atmosphere, ideal for large tables

02/08/2025: Friendly staff, clean environment. We waited 1.5 hours for our pizzas, being told that the next batch would be ours three times, when other people who arrived later were served first. What a shame.

18/08/2025: I went to dinner at Cris&Bio and had an excellent experience. The waiter recommended some really excellent appetizers. We didn't wait more than 10 minutes for the appetizer to be already on the table. Excellent service and spectacular desserts. The pizza was good, definitely worth returning. The only flaw was the location, it could be better.

16/08/2025: We went to this place for dinner on August 15th. As an appetizer, we had a "tasting of Japigia," consisting of homemade parmigiana (but it had nothing in common with the real Bari parmigiana), coppata strips (that is, two slices of cured meat that I could shred myself if I wanted, otherwise they arrive whole like at the supermarket), two stringy potato pizzas (actually, a pizza brick with very little potato), olives (a small bowl of 5), one mozzarella (translated as 1 knot), one small bowl of baked scamorza, and the inevitable Barivecchiana, which is two sgagliozze with chopped red tomatoes drizzled with olive oil (I would have preferred the inimitable sgagliozze with just salt). After finally finishing the appetizer, we moved on to the pizzas with Bari-style, thin-crust dough. It's a shame it was so thin you couldn't taste it, except for the extreme crunchiness that made it resemble a round layer of unsalted crackers. The sauce was also lacking in salt, making the pizza taste sweet. The pizza prices are average for this time of year, although, in my opinion, given the consistency of the dough and the limited toppings, they could be a little cheaper. A positive note is that they've created their own app. By signing up, you're entitled to an immediate €5 discount (which is applied regularly) and can accumulate points for future discounts. Overall, the place is pleasant. Improving the pizza dough and the dining area could make a significant improvement.

30/09/2025: Very good, the meal lived up to our expectations.

26/09/2025: Great pizza, Italian flavors, and a fantastic coffee to finish. And it's hard to believe that prices can be so low and balanced in 2025. A fantastic place for delicious pizza.

30/09/2025: A cute little café with an adjoining restaurant! A pleasant place with friendly and attentive waiters! A wonderful moment overlooking the beautiful basilica!

24/09/2025: A great break after visiting the basilica. A pasticciotto, caffè leccese, or other specialties are worth a stop.
