I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

14/10/2025: Historic trattoria. Friendly staff. Good food, highly recommended for anyone in the area, even late at night. Traditional trattoria atmosphere.

13/10/2025: Characterful venue Good value for money

11/10/2025: A meticulously curated venue located on Via Duomo, right in the heart of the historic center, just steps from the cathedral. A wide selection of beers, some truly unique, never seen before. The cocktails are noteworthy. Prices are average. The crostini are very tasty, expertly prepared and presented. I would suggest bringing a few extra napkins, not just one per person, and perhaps some small plates, because pieces can easily fall off once you bite into them. N.B.: For unknown reasons, this review has been blocked for several months, so some photos do not reflect the current state of the venue's decor. It has only now been unlocked with "try again."

04/09/2025: A delicious aperitif, plentiful and varied. Recommended.

11/12/2025: Excellent quality food, clean and well-kept environment

23/09/2025: We booked a pizza party with some relatives in August. We waited an hour and a half for our pizzas. We definitely won't be back.

21/08/2025: "LIKE FAMILY"—there's no other way to describe our "feeling" when we went to eat at La Ruota pizzeria at Z-Zomb! Fantastic home cooking, just like my grandmother's in Puglia, with authentic dishes and excellent value! The owner was incredibly friendly and kind, making our evening even more enjoyable! We'll be back often! Highly recommended!

25/10/2025: If you want to enjoy excellent pizza, you've come to the right place. Friendly and professional service. Top-notch pizza.

22/10/2025: Small but beautiful location, very kind staff, excellent pizza.

26/10/2025: Went for dinner here last week. I had the orecchiette frutti di mare and it was magnificent! I was thinking it looked lovely but my goodness that first mouthful. My sister and I were the only people there that night. Which was very surprising considering how great the food was. It made our last night in Otranto a special occasion. My sincerest thanks to the chef/owner.

17/09/2025: Enjoyed my second dinner at this restaurant. It was again excellent. A restaurant where the food is cooked with great attention to detail. In my opinion, one of the best restaurants in Otranto. Insider tip!

09/10/2025: We went to this place last night for the first time. Everything was perfect, from the service to the atmosphere. Not to mention the quality of the food served.

21/09/2025: Decent food. Service needs work: A bit grumpy, sometimes annoyed, they use bad humor toward the customers at the table, and the waits are truly endless. You can wait up to two hours for your entree. At the cash register, the owner harasses those paying with American Express in a not-so-subtle manner, irritably taking his disappointment out on the customer. Very bad; real commerce is something else entirely.

05/12/2025: I found it on Google Maps, was happy with the reviews, went there, and... it was closed... even though Google said it was open. Please, if you register on Google, keep it updated!

26/10/2025: We were in the area for work on Sunday and they welcomed us with class and kindness and we ate on trust because we hadn't ordered anything, one dish better than the other but above all a greeting to the waitress who remained in my heart 💓

15/10/2025: Friendliness and friendliness are not lacking among the staff, quality food? I won't comment.

11/10/2025: Can I understand why they set opening hours? I arrived at 7:30 PM and was told to come back at 8 PM because the place was still closed. I returned at 8 PM and, besides the fact that there were already people sitting and eating, I asked if I could eat, and the annoyed waiter told me that without a reservation it would be difficult to find a table. I don't understand.

01/12/2025: Excellent rotisserie and top-notch friendliness

31/08/2025: Well stocked, clean and fast.... Prices 🔝🔝🔝🔝

30/12/2025: It says it's open, but it's not. We went to this restaurant from Lithuania specifically, but it turns out it's not open. The accommodation at Villa Manfredi is great.

24/11/2025: I was there yesterday with my wife. We found a dirty room. At first, they gave us a small table that was completely wobbly. I lifted the tablecloth and found cardboard boxes to hold it down, and a hundred feet on the tablecloth. The seafood appetizer was poor quality, with dirty au gratin mussels still with the lifting rope attached. I mentioned it to the waiter, who explained that they're expensive, so perhaps the manpower to clean them was reduced to keep costs down. The fried calamari was of terrible quality, which you can find much better at a street food shop. The service was approximate. Finally, the bill was disproportionate for what we ate and the quality served. They even charged us for a beer we didn't consume. A final point: we weren't given a menu to choose from. In short, it's not an à la carte restaurant, but a self-service restaurant in an industrial area.

29/12/2025: We celebrated our daughter Celine's baptism. Everything was excellent! The food is delicious, the dishes are tasty and prepared with quality ingredients. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel at ease right away. The place is pleasant and well-kept. The owners are super helpful and friendly. We had a great time and will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place.

10/10/2025: Great place to organize any kind of party

08/09/2025: A vintage setting with a modern twist, a retro wooden bar, cozy chairs, and a jaw-dropping array of bottles—in short, a place that truly rocks. CONTRABAR in Bisceglie is a place you must try. In the heart of the old town, amidst historic walls and modern vibes, we're in an unconventional spot that transports you to the coolest and most refined side of Puglia. The mood is a perfect blend of refined old and seductive contemporary: warm lighting and retro-inspired furnishings. Here I met Gianni Dell'Olio and Francesco Di Gioia, two bartenders with an incredible background in mixology and drink engineering; they tell you every cocktail like a story, classics, twists, homemade. Just think, in 2017, these two guys first dreamed up an appetizer drink by creating Bitter Violento, and then went on to create BASTALDO, an authentically Apulian artisanal amaro made from blood orange peel and vanilla, spices, and Moscato di Trani, all perfectly blended. I even discovered that Contrabar is among the best rum bars in Italy, branded Isla de Rum, and is considered one of the top 12 national cocktail bars by Gambero Rosso. In short, it's not just any place; here we are at the apotheosis and everything else is boring.

14/10/2025: Wonderful place. Great food. The service from Odette was first class!

29/09/2025: Disappointing. A place with a nice view and a good location, but the food is despicable. My wife and I ordered a burrata appetizer that was just OK (10 euros). For 5 euros, you can get something better at the market. The biggest disappointment was the gnocchi with salmon and pistachios. Simply one of the worst dishes I've had at a restaurant in years. The gnocchi was doughy and tough. The red sauce was worse than store-bought ones. Salmon and pistachios? In name only. All this for 18 euros. Terrible, terrible, there's no other word for it.

02/01/2026: Good food, decent portions. The only problem: the live music was too loud, making it hard to talk to the person sitting next to you.

31/08/2025: Very bad service they always talk every time I come
