I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

03/05/2026: Very welcoming and charming little bar.

09/04/2026: Azzurra is definitely the best croissant shop I've ever tried... it's now our regular stop on Mondays because they make fabulous artisan croissants without any gimmicks or deception, everything in plain sight. They offer a variety of sweets, croissants, ricce, brioches, small pastries, and doughnuts to be filled on the spot that are a spectacle for the palate. What can I say, the best croissant I've ever tried is here at Azzurra. Truly congratulations 😀👏 A hug from Bitritto 😘

14/12/2025: Super fast, super good and we'll be back

09/05/2026: Excellent for a sandwich, a slice of pizza, or a quick savoury pie. I recommend it.

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

22/03/2026: Bar located in the central Via di Palma. Elegant and welcoming. Excellent coffee and pastries, and fast service. The owners are always available and cheerful. Definitely one of the best bars in downtown Taranto.

15/03/2026: Learn the basics of table service, and if you don't feel like it, change jobs!

02/05/2026: Very few people and we managed to order 30 minutes after we arrived and also after having done so, after another 30/40 minutes, the appetizers, STUZZICHINI, that we had ordered from the display case arrived.

11/04/2026: The service was unsatisfactory. The lady at the register, Francesca, was rude and even kicked customers off their tables. Her behavior was absurd, to say the least... rude, boorish, ill-mannered, and disrespectful toward regular customers. Once we reached the register, she started yelling at us like crazy. I advise you not to come because if you do, you'll only receive an out-of-this-world, almost utopian attitude. If it weren't for Francesca, it would be a lovely, welcoming bar, but unfortunately, she is.

19/02/2026: Great for a break and breakfast

06/04/2026: Easter Monday, knowing the owner, a very good person, I don't doubt it, I understand that the coastal road doesn't offer much, even during the period, prosecco €5 at the counter without even a minimum of appetizers seems exaggerated to me, with the addition that it was also put in a plastic cup.

02/12/2025: We decided to celebrate a birthday here. We arrived at 9 PM, and after a 30-minute wait, the seafood and meat appetizers arrived. Very good food, and the staff were friendly. As soon as we started with the appetizers, we ordered pizzas to save time, since we had an elderly woman and her relatives with us (seven in total), who obviously couldn't be late. And that's where the problem lies. The pizzas arrived (some of them wrong) after a TWO-HOUR wait, at 12:00/12:15 AM to be precise, after the seven people had already left. We raised the issue, but all we got were shrugs. When it came time to get the (salty) bill, we reiterated that they could have easily informed us about the long waiting times, at least we would have avoided ordering those extra pizzas... in response, only excuses and unfounded justifications in an arrogant and presumptuous tone from the person I believe to be the owner... I appreciate the appropriateness in choosing the restaurant's name...

30/12/2025: Unfortunately Mangia Ami has changed its policy. The coffee is still good, but everything else isn't as exceptional as before. The panzerotti are half empty, and the last time I went there, the mozzarella was still half frozen. I understand the high cost of living, but people still demand it when they pay. Aside from the mix-up, the staff is kind and attentive to the customer. Unfortunately, however, they shrugged their shoulders when I pointed out this problem with the panzerotti.

07/03/2026: A very quiet hotel with excellent service. The rooms are very clean and well-maintained. Many typical Puglian sights are located nearby, such as the Sassi di Matera and the world-famous Alberobello. The food here is also excellent. I was given a tour of the kitchen, and it was exceptionally clean, which is quite rare in the restaurant industry. The staff is courteous and very friendly. So, if you value a peaceful stay with good food, this is the perfect place. I would gladly stay at Hotel Murgia again. Thank you for the wonderful time :-). See you soon!

27/12/2025: Nice little place, not too expensive. Close to Matera, Gioia del Colle, and Bari. Clean. Courteous.

20/03/2026: A somewhat spartan place, excellent service, great food, and exceptional prices. We'll definitely be back.

21/01/2026: You enter a place that seems frozen in the 80s, the staff and the manager make you feel at home. Everything is very retro, but the seafood dishes are exceptional and at the right price, which you wouldn't expect with that quality. Fresh dishes cooked to order with truly excellent quality in the choice of raw materials. Congratulations!

22/02/2026: A simple, yet spacious, quiet, and comfortable place. Very kind and friendly service, excellent food, everything fresh and carefully prepared. We ordered an appetizer and two first courses, both excellent. The wine was also good, and the dessert was also excellent, homemade and very fresh. Highly recommended!

25/01/2026: Disappointing experience. I had a reservation for 7 people at 9:30 PM, but they seated us at 10:45 PM. An unacceptable wait for what should be a fast and punctual service. I thought the wait was worth it, but instead, the fries were salty, and the pizza was also very salty for me and another person, practically inedible. Too bad.

06/02/2026: Helpful and friendly staff. Excellent pizza and focaccia.

23/12/2025: I ate there a while ago but I remember eating very well.

25/12/2025: Excellent Christmas lunch, with music, good food and friendly staff, congratulations.
