I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

07/12/2025: Everything was delicious... then on Sunday the lunch show was a blast!!!!

11/11/2025: Nice little place by the sea, with nearby parking. Open even in November. We had a wonderful meal. Plus, they threw a wonderful party with live Salento music! Compliments to the owner and staff! Very friendly and... enterprising! Really good! Recommended. We'll be back soon! Thank you!

27/10/2025: This place is the definition of hospitality. We were so pampered by the staff, everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail, with spot-on advice on where to choose. The food was high-quality and supremely delicious. My 2-year-old daughter devoured the meatballs with raw vegetable gazpacho and the squid ink pasta. We'll be back very soon ❤️

14/09/2025: Not a proper hotel: This place feels more like a party bar with a pool than a hotel, with no focus on guest comfort. - Bedbugs in the room: Found bedbugs in the bedding, which is completely unacceptable. - Poor communication: Staff barely communicates, no English, denies issues, and offers no apologies. They even suggested the bedbugs came with our luggage. - Noisy environment: Loud music and parties from non-hotel guests continue until 1 a.m., disturbing guests. - Lack of care for guests: Complete disregard for hotel guests’ needs, with staff escalating issues instead of resolving them calmly! - Unprofessional staff behavior: A guest who spent money at the bar was called “crazy” when raising valid concerns, showing terrible customer service. - No taxi assistance: Requested a taxi to the airport at night but got no response or confirmation, forcing us to book an Uber ourselves. - No TV in rooms: Rooms lack basic amenities like a television. - Poor breakfast: Breakfast is limited to just a croissant with jam, which is disappointing. - Noisy train nearby: A loud train constantly passes by, making it hard to relax. - Not worth the price: The overall experience does not justify the cost of the stay.

16/06/2025: Very friendly service. And it's fast, too.

14/04/2025: The best pizza in the world without any doubt! Very friendly staff!

04/11/2025: We went on August 15th. The food was good, with a set menu. I would have preferred some local specialties. The waiter was a bit rude.

22/10/2025: Needing lunch after touring the town we found Al Barone open, not easy on rainy Tuesday in October. There was a large tour group who arrived ahead of us so the staff were challenged at times. Aside from the service, the food was good and we were pleased. We started with sample of local cheese and I had pasta course. Both were good. My wife loved her soup of fava and chicory. While they cater to tourists, the restaurant does not feel like a "tourist restaurant", if that makes sense.

05/10/2025: My cousin's communion was today, and I had a truly wonderful time! The staff was helpful and welcoming, the food was delicious and truly extraordinary—my compliments to the chef! The location was beautiful and very bright. The only negative was the DJ: I asked him several times if I could sing a song, and he always said yes, but in the end, he gave priority to other people who asked on the spot, while I had made the request over an hour earlier. My mother also reminded him several times, but to no avail: he kept saying yes without giving me the chance to sing. I was really disappointed, and honestly, I hope a different DJ is chosen in the future, because this one didn't do his job properly.

09/08/2025: Yesterday I spent the whole afternoon at the Himalaya pool. The staff were helpful, the location was really quiet, everything was clean, even the bathrooms. My experience has been consistently positive for years. I love this place both as a restaurant and as a whole, but what I love most is the clean pool with grass around the edges. What can I say? I feel at home. I recommend it to anyone who needs to relax. My compliments to the entire Himalaya staff. P.S. See you in a few days.

13/12/2025: Horrible experience. We waited an hour and a half for pizzas and two hours for burgers. We definitely won't be back.

28/11/2025: A cool, Italian atmosphere. A good place for a typical Italian breakfast.

29/11/2025: A lovely trattoria with a lovely fireplace and home-style cooking that rivals your mother's. The owners are very friendly, kind, and helpful. We went for lunch with a group of about twenty people. The appetizer included a wide variety of hot, freshly prepared dishes, and an excellent first course of orecchiette with cardoncelli mushrooms or (alternatively) a lovely, generous mixed grill. The house dessert was also excellent. For an average total of €27.50 per person, it seems exceptional. Everything was delicious! We'll be back!

09/11/2025: We stopped in, unfamiliar with the place, intrigued by the aromas wafting from the kitchen. We decided to order some grilled meat and vegetables, and everything was excellent. We also selected an excellent bottle of wine with the help of the fantastic Stefano, who brought us our dishes with a smile and a lot of kindness. 10 stars for him. Highly recommended.

21/09/2025: Come sempre...ottimo pranzo e ottimo Service

29/05/2025: Everything good, friendly staff

26/10/2025: Just inside the historic part of Acquaviva, I highly recommend stopping at Gianfranco. He'll whip up a quick dish of the day straight from the traditional Bari cuisine or an excellent pizza. The portions are generous and the service is always friendly. The spaghetti alla chitarra alla San Giuannid is a real treat.

23/10/2025: Great for spending quality time with family and friends, from the delightful owner to the very polite and helpful staff...

12/10/2025: Light and crispy pizza. Very kind staff!!

07/10/2025: Nothing exceptional, pizza served cold with a considerable wait, poor service.

22/09/2025: The best coffee I've ever had! Cornetto! Great service, great place!

02/09/2025: Great staff and good breakfast with great prices

09/08/2025: Plenty of space to eat a good pizza in company

03/08/2025: All good. Well organized, acceptable costs.

26/08/2025: Historic bar in the center of Galatina, a welcoming and modern atmosphere. Excellent gelato 👌, 100% artisanal, thanks to the passion of Maestro Piero. You can also find many gluten-free options, including gelato 🍨 👏👏👏. A must-see for anyone passing through Galatina 😅👍👍

20/08/2025: A popular bar, it also offers ice cream, with a good selection of lactose-free products. The covered outdoor veranda is also pleasant.

30/11/2025: A very nice hotel right on the beach. Family-run. The owner speaks German, which makes everything much more relaxed. The rooms are modernly furnished, as is the bathroom. Everything was clean and tidy. Plenty of towels were provided, and the room was cleaned daily. The air conditioning works perfectly, and it also heats the room. The restaurant is highly recommended; the owner's mother cooks there herself. Everything is freshly prepared. Breakfast is good – they even have bread rolls. The best part was the freshly sliced ​​Parma ham. I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.

03/11/2025: Not recommended for business trips. I stayed in September, unfortunately, it was a terrible experience. I asked for receipts for the dinners and for the tourist tax, but the owner got angry. It was a surreal experience, never seen before in 25 years of working in the province of Lecce. Not recommended for business trips, and I'll stop here in the story....

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!
