I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

02/01/2026: Lunch on January 1, 2026. Everything was perfect, simple but carefully prepared and tasty dishes. First courses deserved 10 out of 10. Delicious appetizers. Crispy and dry fried food. A huge thank you to Gino and Antonello. Highly recommended.

27/12/2025: Excellent traditional Apulian cuisine prepared by Chef Gino, in a beautiful, small, intimate location overlooking the sea. Compliments also to Antonello, the restaurant manager, who served our lunch with respect and extreme courtesy. It's a must-try.

15/07/2025: My first time here for my morning breakfast. The café only employs young female staff. The service wasn’t bad—the barista was accommodating, but you can’t tell whether she was just playing along or genuinely interested in something serious and lasting! The price was steep—€2.80 for a bitter ginseng coffee and a brioche—with no glass of water included, which for a place that looks five-star in both price and décor is an unforgivable oversight

14/11/2025: I'm very satisfied with the friendliness, professionalism, kindness, and helpfulness of the entire staff. They were completely willing to give me the space to create my entire setup. Furthermore, on the occasions I've had the pleasure of being here to sample their food, I've been equally satisfied. Truly, everything was excellent.

31/08/2025: Excellent and plentiful appetizers Pizza by the meter is a great idea, but they should also offer a traditional round pizza (they only make it for those with food intolerances). Slow service, about an hour before taking the order.

03/08/2025: Intrigued by the aesthetics, we decided to try the hotel restaurant for the first time. It was a pleasant surprise, from the excellent appetizers to the first courses and dessert. The ingredients were excellent, and each dish had a unique flavor. Compliments to the chef and all the staff who welcomed us with utmost hospitality!!!

21/05/2025: Mon mari et moi y avons dîné hier soir, en compagnie d'amis, pour notre dernière soirée à Lecce. Tout le monde a été ravi ! Félicitations au chef pour la qualité de ses mets, J'avais choisi le tataki de thon qui était délicieux. La présentation des plats est raffinée. Le serveur a été très aimable et souriant. Pour ne rien gâcher, il parfait français, ce qui a facilité nos choix.

07/01/2026: Francesco is great. Excellent cuisine and very professional.

12/10/2025: Our second home is in Villanova and we go to Alta Marea Lab all the time . We love the food . The menu is extensive with something for everyone . And the staff is amazing . They make you feel like we are family :) so warm and welcoming . FRancesco , Angela, Sara and Antonio are our favorite people there !

28/12/2025: Exceptional pizza, impeccable service, courtesy, kindness, and helpfulness. The chef is fantastic! Highly recommended 👏💪🤩

28/12/2025: First time at King Pizza. The atmosphere is very comfortable and elegant. We ordered two pizzas and a Coke. The pizza was good, and for those who love a low, crispy crust, this is a great place to go. It was cooked perfectly (you can always be sure of a low crust and a little less leavened). Even though it was Sunday, the wait was short, and the pizzas were served quickly. The service and the waiters were excellent. Overall, we were satisfied.

23/10/2025: I really appreciated the owner's advice

23/10/2025: Truly local experience of an Italian trattoria run by a family. Simple dishes with high quality ingredients, reasonable prices, friendly service. Great pizza - the crust was just perfect, a bit on the crunchy side. Takeaway option available. They're open also off season, and usually busy with the locals. A top pick in Marina di Ginosa, if you're looking for an authentic culinary experience.

11/01/2026: The first time was for a get-together with colleagues, and I loved the atmosphere, the service, and especially the food, which was delicious and refined. The second time was for Christmas lunch, the set menu was well-served, very good, and plentiful. Highly recommended.

11/01/2026: Excellent and generous set menu. Excellent value for money.

16/12/2025: We were attracted by the advertisement for typical Abruzzo cuisine, but unfortunately the menu didn't live up to its promises, and as often happens when you try to do everything... the result is that nothing is done well. The "Abruzzo" platter was supposed to include cheeses, cured meats, honey, and bruschetta... but it certainly wasn't typical. In reality, what arrived were bresaola (which isn't Abruzzo), coppa veneta, capocollo di Martina Franca, and ventricina, as well as three flavorless Apulian caciottas with walnuts and pistachios (when Abruzzo is full of aged cheeses and pecorinos... what a shame) and three slices of cold bread from the refrigerator soaked in oil with cold cheese melted on top. Overall poor quality!! Unfortunately, the cured meats clearly tasted and smelled like pre-cut deli meats, an odor that lingered throughout the restaurant. Alas, even the meat displayed in the window (above the pizza counter) didn't invite tasting, with its brown color and questionable labels, originating anything but Abruzzo. Overall, the place is kept to a minimum, but the management is rather bizarre, not to mention embarrassing: at least the open shirt in mid-December is decidedly unsuitable and unprofessional. The only positive note was the young waitress, kind and composed. Otherwise, we strongly advise against it!

30/10/2025: Excellent tasting of Abruzzo dishes

04/02/2025: Very nice location. But unfortunately, the food wasn't. I received a burger that was very tough and I couldn't eat it. I complimented the pasta with sauce because it was very good, but on the adult menu, the good thing was the tart, the rest was absolutely not. I'm sorry about this experience because, visually, it was very inviting. Umberto Maria Filardi

26/06/2025: Este es un pintoresco restaurante de gestión familiar en Ostuni en una cueva acogedora y única, como un entorno. El propietario y su esposa eran muy amables y nos hicieron muy buenas recomendaciones de comida y vino. La comida era sabrosa, y no nos sentimos apresurados en absoluto durante la cena. El propietario pasaría por aquí y charlaría con nosotros durante toda la noche. Experiencia muy divertida!

14/06/2025: El entorno es perfecto para la "ciudad blanca", Ostuni. Estás sentado y comiendo en una cueva. Tanto los propietarios de la esposa y el marido son amables y hacen excelentes sugerencias. Tuvimos el mejor vino recomendado por el propietario. Llevan el pescado a la mesa para que usted elija su comida. Perfección absoluta.

29/07/2025: 🤝This is the first time I've had cake from them, but I'm sure there will be many more times❤️😋

26/07/2025: The owners are lovely people😍😍😍😍😍😍 The wonderful pastries

31/12/2025: For 15 euros each with a tasting board, we ate delicious dishes that exceeded our expectations. Thanks to the owners, who are very kind.

23/11/2025: We had meat bombette, which were excellent. Then we had pizzas, but they weren't anything to write home about I've had much better pizzas. The plates were chipped, with the brown ceramic showing underneath.

03/12/2025: Do what you want with this information, but the food here is truly good at prices that are accessible to everyone. The staff is incredibly friendly. If you go there, you'll have a great time.

01/11/2025: I was having lunch... at an old friend's...

27/12/2025: A little slow in service even though it wasn't full.

18/12/2025: I went there with friends on Tuesday evening. The place was cozy and the staff were courteous and friendly. The appetizers were excellent and plentiful. 😋😋😋 The pizza was generous and EXCELLENT. 😋😋 Highly recommended.
