I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

11/08/2026: It's comfortable, it's very big so you don't have to be crowded together!

08/08/2026: Good value for money, a little disorganized.

04/07/2026: The food was outstanding—beautifully prepared, exceptionally fresh, and of the highest quality. Every dish reflected the care and passion that goes into the kitchen. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the attentiveness of the staff. The service was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we arrived. A special thank you to Antonio, who is the epitome of an Italian gentleman. His professionalism, style, and effortless elegance are remarkable. He has a wonderful, discreet smile that immediately puts guests at ease, and watching him serve and pour wine is like watching a true expert at work. His attention to detail and gracious manner elevated the entire dining experience. We would also like to thank the lovely lady who looked after our table. Her warmth and kindness made us feel completely at home, and her welcoming nature was just as memorable as the excellent food. Alex Restaurant offers not only exceptional seafood but also hospitality of the highest standard. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience.

02/07/2026: Excellent restaurant! Everyone is professional and knowledgeable! Excellent and refined dishes.

31/12/2025: Fantastic focaccia, my favorite, a tradition. I'm back for the holidays and this is the perfect stop. For me, the best focaccia in Bari.

16/12/2025: Bread, and especially focaccia, as God intended! Minafra 🔝

20/07/2026: We spent great time at this hotel. I was a little worried when booking, because it was quite cheap but also near the beach and looking nice. It is indeed nice, and next to the beach and quite cheap (compared to other hotels in the area). Rooms are tidy and simple and cleaned daily, balcony view was amazing, breakfast was unusual to us but still nice (coffee and croissant). Bathroom might be a little small. There is air conditioning in the room. In the halls there is a lot of beautiful art and mirrors with stained glass. The owners, Santina and Maria-Antuanetta, are friendly and pleasant people, it was nice talking to them and they are there for you if needed. And there are two dogs and three cats living here too!! They are very cute. Totally recommend this hotel, beach is across the road, and you have everything you need when you return from a day of swimming.

14/06/2026: A 1970s-style hotel. It feels like stepping back in time. A family-friendly atmosphere, simple, comfortable, and clean. The beach is just a few hundred meters away. Covered parking in the enclosed courtyard is ideal for cars and, especially, motorcycles. The owners are kind and helpful. The icing on the cake are Zaira and Viktor, two very friendly and well-behaved dogs.

12/06/2026: Our favorite neighborhood pizzeria: superb pizzas topped with quality ingredients, friendly staff, and a family atmosphere. Highly recommended!

05/04/2026: I found it open on Easter Sunday. I was skeptical at first, but I had to change my mind. The pizzas were really good. From today, you'll have a new customer.

02/06/2026: Enchanting place, very kind staff, but above all suitable for those like us who had dogs in tow

06/06/2026: We stumbled upon a lovely find, conveniently located next to our hotel, where we could enjoy their exclusive selection of local wines and sample locally sourced dishes. Excellent value, friendly service, and a great chat with the manager. Highly recommended.

05/06/2026: I had lunch here the other day and I have to say the quality and price are top notch. The owner's friendliness makes you feel at home. Chef Emanuele is super helpful and smiling, ready to satisfy your every request. Try it, I highly recommend it. They're helpful and polite, and they make you feel at home. Well done guys, keep it up.

27/06/2026: I visited Lulu's last night with a friend who's a regular. I have to say it was a truly extraordinary experience, from every perspective. I ordered a smash burger that I would simply describe as sublime: a perfectly prepared burger, with the meat juicy and flavorful to perfection, accompanied by crispy potatoes, a cold beer, and an excellent dessert that rounded it all off impeccably. A perfect combination, for true connoisseurs! But what makes Lulu's a special place isn't just the excellent food, it's the atmosphere you breathe in, thanks to the owner, a person of rare professionalism, hospitality, and kindness. He makes you feel at home right away, and it's clear he puts his heart into everything he does. A well-kept place, quality cuisine, and impeccable service. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended! ...🍺

28/03/2026: I really liked the place—the atmosphere was perfect, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The food and service were excellent.

14/05/2026: I celebrated my birthday with my loved ones. This restaurant overlooks Lake Varano, where you can savor the tranquility and silence that transports you back in time. The setting and the kindness of the staff allow you to slowly experience the exquisite dishes with the true flavor of the freshest fish. Highly recommended. I will definitely be back.

26/04/2026: On Sunday, February 8, 2025, I dined with my wife and two other couples. We ate seafood appetizers, all fresh and delicious, served promptly and without long waits. Then we had two first courses: seafood linguine and spaghetti with clams. They were served in two sperlonga dishes, excellent both in terms of cooking and seasoning: not too spicy, but exquisite in flavor, aroma, and quantity of seafood. The white wine was very good and the side dishes were delicious. We enjoyed a good coffee and a nice "cicchetto." We'll be back soon to try some more succulent dishes, this time focusing on the second courses as well. The lakeside setting was very beautiful.

10/05/2026: Informal restaurant, fast service, excellent fried foods and pizzas, easy-to-digest and unusual dough.

10/05/2026: Minimal wait, very good and unique pizzas, recommended.

29/06/2026: Nice atmosphere. Welcoming place. Excellent food. I really enjoyed it.

17/06/2026: Excellent service, fantastic menu, very well-kept and clean garden area, welcoming and helpful owner. I recommend it to everyone, even the most picky eaters, and we'll definitely be back.

27/04/2026: Location was good, close to the train station but 10 minute walk from the waterview

18/02/2026: I stayed for work, but I must say I was more relaxed than ever. The hotel is equipped with every comfort. It has various parking options (from the space directly under the building to the parking lot a few meters away). It's located right in the city center (so once you've parked, you never need to get your car back). The staff is extremely kind and helpful. A very kind lady at the reception resolved my mistaken booking through Booking.com without batting an eyelid. Excellent breakfast. Good variety of choices (sweet and savory), with the inevitable pasticciotto. I really appreciated the automatic juicer available for guests (I'm really fed up with drinking watery, overly sugary discount Ace). As befits a reputable hotel, they offer two options for coffee: a vending machine (also good) or freshly prepared and served by the staff. Highly recommended location

13/05/2026: Some friends and I had the pistachio pinsa, which was delicious, but three of us opted for a mozzarella and prosciutto sandwich. The sandwich was served in four wedges and was very filling, but the prosciutto was so salty it was practically inedible. It's a shame, as the place has a very welcoming atmosphere. The music inside was excessively loud, making it difficult to hold a conversation.

12/05/2026: Beautiful place but the staff leaves much to be desired.. TOO BAD 😔

04/08/2026: The waiters were very good and professional but the food was too expensive and the dishes were small.

22/07/2026: There are dinners you never forget, because every dish tells a little story. Here we experienced exactly that: a symphony of the sea, served with elegance, attention, and rare grace. The journey begins with the seafood appetizers, where the creaminess of the sauces meets the savory flavor of the anchovies and the crunchiness of the dark bread. Small bites that open the palate and immediately make it clear that here, the sea isn't just an ingredient: it's a language. Then comes the seafood risottos, creamy, enveloping, and rich in aromas. Each grain is perfectly creamed, each mussel carries the full flavor of the coast. These are dishes that don't seek special effects: they captivate with their authenticity. The fried seafood is a triumph of lightness: golden calamari, fragrant shrimp, delicate vegetables that add color and crunch. Nothing is greasy, nothing is heavy: just flavor, balance, and a sure hand. Everything speaks of a cuisine that knows how to listen to the product and enhance it. But what made the evening truly special was the kindness with which we were treated: sincere smiles, attentiveness that was never intrusive, that ability to make the guest feel important without ever overdoing it. A hospitality that is precious today. ✨ Here, the sea isn't just eaten: it's lived, savored, respected. And those who serve these dishes do so with an art and wisdom that few can match.
