I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

29/06/2025: Bad experience, terrible service at the tables (rude and sleepy guys), too much waiting, overcooked chips maybe because they don't change the oil, poor hygiene in the bathrooms, never again, I don't recommend this place, low quality pizza, indigestible

08/06/2025: Nice location, very good pizzas, also ideal for families because small portions are possible.

28/08/2025: This restaurant has become a regular stop for us! We always find the same impeccable quality: always fresh dishes, carefully selected ingredients, and authentic flavors that speak for themselves. The owner is a wonderful person, always attentive and helpful, capable of making every customer feel special. The attention to detail is evident in everything—from the welcome to the service, to the presentation of the dishes. And, the icing on the cake, the prices are truly fair for the quality offered. Highly recommended for those seeking authentic cuisine and a family atmosphere where they'll always be happy to return!

16/06/2025: Historic family-run pizzeria, friendly atmosphere, excellent service, fresh and quality products. I recommend

05/10/2025: Great value! Visited 3 times, had great food 3 times! Nice family restaurant! Fresh antipasti daily! Very good pizza & pasta!

30/08/2025: Disappointing service and rather long wait times, especially for a grilled chicken breast. The panzerotti weren't very good, and some were even cold. Not to mention the coffee.

09/10/2025: A wonderful experience at this place. We went in for a beer and ended up having dinner thanks to the quality of the place. We had a variety of brushetas, a spectacular fusion of flavors, all homemade. Afterwards, we enjoyed a first-class charcuterie and cheese board and finished with a delicious octopus at a very good price. A must-try if you're in Nardó.

27/09/2025: Attracted by the tables outside in front of the cathedral, we sat at a table unnoticed for over ten minutes. After a bit of prodding, we finally managed to order. There were only two other tables already eating, and the place was empty inside. I won't go into details, otherwise I'd never finish. The table lamp was changed three times, the bathroom paper was empty, the drinks were inaccurate, and the wait was ridiculous. The food arrived after 45 minutes. The waitress was very kind but inexperienced. My sandwich was very good, but it's a shame about the unnerving wait.

22/10/2025: A wonderful place with an amazing family atmosphere, delicious cuisine, seafood, and fantastic service.

15/10/2025: Delicious seafood! The waiter spoke English—which isn't always the norm there. He knew the menu and was able to offer helpful advice. Thank you 💚

18/09/2025: Nice restaurant, located on the coast, beach bar, good food, great atmosphere.

13/09/2025: Best sea food I had in Italy! Very recommend. Tuna is must try!🤩

30/08/2025: I went there last night with my family. The pizza was delicious, the staff was polite, helpful, and courteous. We'll be back... From Serena

19/07/2025: I'm very sorry to have to express my profound disappointment regarding my experience with this pizzeria. If I remember correctly, I've ordered takeout pizza here three times (picked up by us and eaten at home), choosing it primarily because it's the closest to my house (about 5 km). However, both the last time (I don't remember the exact date) and tonight, the pizzas were, once again, completely inedible: rock hard and burned on the bottom (the one in the photo is actually the least serious!). Of the three pizzas ordered (as shown on the receipt), after cutting them to avoid the charred parts (the bottom) and the burned edge, only one remained intact and edible. We practically threw the other two away. Last time, for the sake of peace, I didn't contact the restaurant, thinking it was an isolated incident. Tonight, however, I called to report the problem. The kind lady on the phone offered to return the pizza and make me a new one, but unfortunately I had to leave in a hurry for work, so I decided against it. In the end, after discarding the burnt parts, the pizza was only half eaten (basically, when you cut it, one pizza came out), eaten by two people. I left and stopped at another pizzeria for a quick panzerotto. By the way, the French fries were also unsatisfactory: a strong onion smell made the little girl refuse them because onion makes her nauseous. In short, over €20 wasted. A word of advice to customers, especially regulars: before picking up the pizza, check it immediately. And I'm not referring to the rock-hard pizza (perhaps overcooked), but the charred pieces. While a single bite of burnt food isn't dangerous, regular consumption is still not recommended, as it's carcinogenic. Conclusion? A ruined evening. After two failed attempts out of three, sadly I won't be returning.

24/09/2025: Very tasty food. The pizza is absolutely amazing.

16/09/2025: We went for dinner in mid-September. We had a fish starter and a grilled fish dish. The starters were good, and the main course was decent. Nothing special, but still good, fair enough. The location was nothing special. Prices were average, in my opinion, for what we ate.

15/10/2025: We went on a Saturday evening with family, and right at the door, no one greeted us, no one knew where to seat us. The waiters were completely chaotic, awkward, and disorganized, wandering around aimlessly, not knowing which table to take the dishes to. The pizzas arrived cold and with ingredients of dubious freshness: the pancetta in particular smelled and tasted terrible, it seemed stale. When it came time to pay, the owner left us waiting while she chatted calmly with a friend, completely ignoring us. When she finally gave us the receipt, we discovered it wasn't even a receipt, just the order! We went back to ask for an explanation, and, with great feigned surprise, she said she had "made a mistake." Of course, of course. Warning: they don't issue receipts.

31/08/2025: Dinner with my wife and son in the beautiful village of Specchia Delicious fava bean and chicory puree accompanied by crostini and slices of rosemary focaccia Our son had a very fresh and generous seafood salad Then the delicious Salento-style sea bass and a sesame-flavored tuna steak The outdoor setting was perfect for a late summer evening Well done!

31/08/2025: A pleasant, satisfying, and positive vacation. The staff was competent and helpful, with the kindness and friendliness of the owner, Katia, and the entire residence staff. Excellent fresh fish dishes made with the highest-quality ingredients and prepared with attention to detail. Excellent room cleaning service. A quiet location surrounded by nature, not far from the sea.

21/08/2025: Excellent hotel residence with a few flaws that could be resolved with maintenance and small improvements. It has potential. We had a good time. Breakfast could be improved, as it only offers repetitive desserts and no savory options at all. The restaurant is ok. Thanks to Luana and Denise, who manage the dining room well, considering their young age. Antonio's cabaret evening was lovely.

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.

30/04/2025: Two stars because the environment is very nice. But slow and listless service, aperitif served with a 20 minute wait (I had to ask and there were no people) without anything to tease (at least some chips). The place looked good but it was a disappointment, we definitely won't be back. Not recommended.

30/08/2025: Simple atmosphere, good pizza, price in line with the period

12/07/2025: La Pizza è buona, fritture non artigianali, prezzi nella media. Le cameriere sono molto scostumate, recandosi al locale in pieno servizio ( ore 21:15) dicono che non ci sono tavoli liberi quando a volte è davanti ai loro occhi oppure che non si libereranno tavoli nell’arco di 30 minuti ( cosa assolutamente non vera), non è la Prima volta che accade.

16/10/2025: Beautiful location thanks to the sea! The rest is a disaster!

08/10/2025: Nice location, but terrible staff...we went to my aunt's 60th birthday party, and the food was terrible. At the end of the party, my aunt's bag was missing; they spent a long time looking for it. After a while, they found it thrown on the floor in the staff room, blaming our relatives. It's absurd, especially since only they can enter their room.

09/09/2025: Lovely place, but €20/30...isn't correct..Two coffees with two grappas €13...they should have written €50/60...Friendly staff, but be careful with the wine suggestions...ask the price!

06/09/2025: Welcome to the South! A pristine place suspended in time, a superb welcome, delightful accommodations with a sea view, delicious, locally sourced food at a reasonable price, all managed by a young man with a rock star haircut reminiscent of the frontman of the former Blu Vertigo band! Not to be missed.
