I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

04/09/2025: A wonderful estate, where we were guests for an outdoor wedding. The place is truly magical, the atmosphere is beautiful and very evocative!

03/09/2025: Beautiful location and great food

06/09/2025: Excellent restaurant. Exceptional food, along with the staff. 1000 out of 10

27/08/2025: We tried the steakhouse restaurant during a stay in Salento. We focused on the meat dishes, and I must say, everything was excellent. The quality of the ingredients is tangible. Price-wise, it's average. Recommended.

23/08/2025: Excellent quality and very competent staff

20/08/2025: The ideal place for a good quick breakfast and a delicious lunch break. The staff is always helpful and smiling. It's a real pleasure to stop by.

19/08/2025: Excellent, fresh food, beautiful, and well-kept surroundings. It's a shame one of the waitresses suggested adding truffle to my pasta but didn't mention the €4 surcharge, which I saw at the end of the bill. Of course, we mentioned the issue at the cashier, and the waitress refunded us and apologized, even though she took the €10 note from my hand and gave me €4. After all, we'll be back to try the pizza.

14/08/2025: Extremely long wait times....we found ourselves at a table of 6, 3 with plates and 3 without, so 3 ate and 3 didn't! Also, since it was our birthday, we had asked for dessert and after 20 minutes it didn't arrive so we decided to leave the place and go eat dessert somewhere else. Although I must say that they apologized profusely, unfortunately I can't say I had a good experience. I wouldn't go back.

29/06/2025: Hospitality, quality in everything, both for a simple coffee and for a romantic dinner

17/06/2025: Cosy atmosphere and fantastic dishes! Highly recommended are the crostini with lardo di colonnata, unmissable!

06/09/2025: Wonderful people, from the owners to the employees, extremely friendly and helpful. The meat is truly delicious! We won't hesitate to return if we have the chance!

26/08/2025: At Nonno Pierino, you won't find meats of exceptional quality and flavor. Above all, you'll find the kindness and professionalism of the very sweet Antonella. It's clear she's a "daughter of the chef" and knows how to pamper her customers. Otherwise, the meats and specialties deserve top marks. Highly recommended.

14/09/2025: The best pizza I've ever had. If you're unsure, don't hesitate—it's worth it. 10/10 compliments to the staff ❤️🤝

08/09/2025: Great pizza and a lovely atmosphere. Very friendly, high-quality service and reasonable prices. We'll gladly return to try other dishes.

05/09/2025: The photos speak for themselves, and the owner's friendliness is unmissable! If you're passing through Peschici, you must stop by this wine shop.

29/08/2025: If you're passing through Peschici, definitely stop here. You'll be won over by the menu's selection of truly high-quality local products and the extensive wine list. What makes it all so special is Francesco, friendly, attentive, and truly convivial. He makes you feel like an old friend. It's worth more than a stop.

25/07/2025: Good place to enjoy meat dishes. The staff were friendly.

24/07/2025: We dined at this restaurant this evening, but I couldn't wait any longer to leave my review. When we arrived, we were greeted by exceptional staff. Knowledgeable, competent, but also super kind and approachable. We completely trusted them and couldn't have made a better choice. We chose one of the available menus and received appetizers including frisée, vitello tonnato, meatballs, pulled pork, and a selection of cured meats and cheeses. The main course was entrecote with sweeter cuts. I can't find a dish we didn't enjoy. The meat was AMAZING. The super Federica served us: helpful, attentive, and incredibly friendly. We'll definitely be back.

31/08/2025: Superlative meat of reliable origin! There is what there is, and that only means quality! At a more than fair price. You can see that these are people who sweat for their work and treat their customers with dignity. Don't lose this spirit!

29/08/2025: Super meat and pleasant location

21/08/2025: It's like getting ripped off for €50-70 per person unless you opt for the meatballs entree. The price range is definitely not €20-30, not even for pasta with meatballs! Basic bistro atmosphere, with bistro dishes, so the portions are small. Presentation: nothing special. Good dishes, made with just a few, definitely high-quality ingredients and pre-cooked, making everything simple, easy to assemble, and easy to take out (if you let the food breathe between courses... thanks), so they absolutely don't justify an appetizer over €15 or a basic fish entree for €20. The super-polite owner offers gin and tonic regardless of the dishes, as he has his own line... the gin and tonic is served in small, narrow tumblers with three large ice cubes, something I've never seen anywhere else. More than anything else, the quantity of drinks is almost nothing... not to mention the difficulty in drinking them. Service: young, inexperienced staff. If the prices had been lower or there had been more attention to quantity-to-presentation ratio, I would have given it a 4 or 5 star rating. For €60 a head, there are plenty of places to eat with a more adequate quality-service-quantity ratio. Although between Santa Caterina and Santa Maria al Bagno, there's probably no one quite up to par.

20/08/2025: Larilò is a very cozy little restaurant in Santa Caterina. The owner is a wonderful host, very patient and friendly. We went with family and friends for dinner. The menu is primarily seafood-based. We opted for pasta with fish and marinated tuna, and the kids had pasta with tomato sauce. Everything was delicious. I recommend it.

31/08/2025: This place was a wonderful discovery! The food is excellent quality, light, and easy to digest. The service is very fast and well-organized; your order arrives at your table within 10-15 minutes. Also, and not to be underestimated, the owners and staff are truly friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is nice, but perhaps a little small for a pizzeria. However, this last consideration is secondary to everything else. I highly recommend it to anyone; you won't regret it. ❤️

22/08/2025: Everything is good, the place is too smokey

11/07/2025: A wonderful discovery I recommend it 100% Italy as we love it

11/07/2025: A great find! The service was warm and attentive from start to finish. The dishes are not only delicious but also beautifully presented, with fresh, high-quality ingredients. A special mention goes to the spaghetti alla assassina, a real treat! The atmosphere is friendly, the decor is tasteful, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality offered. I recommend it without hesitation and will happily return!

02/09/2025: We had a quality seafood lunch, and were very satisfied. The service was fast and pleasant!

01/09/2025: Taste of the sea? You'll definitely find it here! From appetizers to first courses! The price is right for the quality and freshness of the ingredients! You'll want to come back again and again (also for the delicious, wood-fired pizzas!)

27/07/2025: Perfect owner, the best Beef and veal.

27/07/2025: The food was very good. Tip is to have the sea bass for main course and to order the tiramisu for dessert. The best part of the restaurant visit, however, was the incredible wine list and the service we received from our waiter. Don't miss this restaurant if you visit Monopoli.
