I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

18/06/2025: Business trip, we looked online and chose this place for the very positive reviews. It was a weekday lunch, the place was empty. In addition to us, 2 other tables. Food that combines refined flavors with tradition. Attention to detail, both in the dish and in the dishes. Very quiet place, soft atmosphere in the center of Massafra. Kind and professional waiters. We were in a bit of a hurry so we couldn't enjoy our lunch break for long. Fewer dishes to choose from, better.

13/05/2025: Ero stato con mia moglie 2 anni fa con una piacevole esperienza, come da mia recensione. Siamo tornati con 2 amici ed in verità siamo rimasti delusi. Abbiamo ordinato 2 antipasti (per 4 persone), veramente misero con pochissime cose e porzioni ridotte. (Premetto che non abbiamo ordinato il crudo di mare come l'altra volta). Come primo abbiamo ordinato tutti i paccheri ai frutti di mare che erano la fotocopia in bianconero di quelli di 2 anni prima (sembravano riscaldati e con pochissimi frutti di mare e con le bucce delle vongole sotto i denti). Per secondo abbiamo preso una sperlunga centrale di frittura di pesce misto (buona), una bottiglia di vino fichimori, 4 dolcetti e 4 caffè. Preciso che il locale è accogliente ed i bagni puliti. Chiedo il conto e mi trovo una cifra spropositata, 240 euro, per quello che abbiamo mangiato, pago e zitto. Sarà capitato una giornata storta, forse la festa Patronale, ma sono rimasto molto deluso, al massimo mi aspettavo 180. Oltretutto i tavoli non hanno neanche il tovagliato e questo è antipatico e poco igienico perché il tovagliolo e le posate inevitabilmente poggiano sul tavolo. Insomma non penso di ritornare visto che la qualità è scesa ed il prezzo, in rapporto a 2 anni prima è raddoppiato quasi.

04/10/2025: We had a wonderful time, everything was perfect, delicious from the appetizer to the coffee, the service was very pleasant, we were able to talk peacefully among ourselves, if we return to this beautiful city we have no doubts about where to return.

11/09/2025: There are so many words to describe the experience at this trattoria, but the only way to truly appreciate its quality, abundance, professionalism, tranquility, and affordability is to go there. In Manfredonia, we're used to frequenting the same places, and we've obviously had a great time. Trust me, he'll become a regular. Try it and believe it.

14/09/2025: We were there yesterday for my daughter's confirmation... we had been there years ago for another occasion.... what can I say, impeccable in everything from the abundant food to the impeccable service and kindness of the waiting staff...... Marco the chef is very good, congratulations..... see you next time

11/09/2025: We stayed at this agriturismo last night and were pleasantly surprised by the place. The girl serving us was very kind, and the food was excellent and plentiful, with their appetizers being nothing short of fantastic. Excellent value for money. Thank you.

18/09/2025: Fantastic food and waitress Ms.Bona with professional knowledge of gastronomic are guarantor culinary experience .!

18/09/2025: Best spagetti in town !!! Best service from Bruna number1😊

12/10/2025: I recommend this atmospheric place with friendly service, delicious food made with fresh ingredients at an affordable price. I hope to visit again someday.

08/06/2025: Amazing place great service excellent environment. We went back really everything amazing and excellent.

10/09/2025: Quality crepes, well filled and very crispy

01/09/2025: Excellent staff, delicious sandwiches, friendly and very good, I recommend!!

13/09/2025: Excellent pastry shop, very kind owners, absolutely worth trying the pasticciotti and jam biscuits. Recommended.

11/09/2025: Excellent pastry shop, since we've been in Gallipoli on holiday we take the car every morning to have breakfast here, fabulous brioches and unique pasticciotto. Must try.

01/09/2025: Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with this restaurant. I wasn't sold on the lunch menu, and I would have liked to try the evening dishes. The service was quite slow. That said, having a vegan restaurant in Monopoli is still a nice touch.

31/08/2025: The food is good... could it be improved? Yes, I'd say so... some dishes are excellent, others less so... I recommend the crema catalana... magnificent, the chickpea hummus, and the fava beans and chicory... the parmigiana, a bit less so. (I'll never understand anyone who would pretend to cook it without batter-dredging and frying the eggplant... in any case, the negative review is due to the slightly acidic sauce!) Otherwise, a very nice and welcoming place with interesting combinations and experiments.

19/10/2025: Having fled another pizzeria, which had my approval the previous year (2023) until it expanded, the locals recommended this place to me. I came in for a pizza, but Lorenzo's presentation, the tasteful decor, the kindness of the staff (a very friendly girl with curly hair), the accuracy of the menu and the prices... and then the tablecloths, the cutlery changed after each course, the cloth napkins... I've dined here several times and I've tasted not only pizza, but much... much more... Everything was delicious. I forgot to take photos of the dishes and mark my presence with my daughter and son-in-law so I could have a souvenir... I'm only taking a few receipts to show how much I ate and how little I paid. One last mention: the kindness and deliciousness of the lady at the cashier. Please... don't change...! I'll be with you next year... don't disappoint me. And here I am in October 2025. They say "the murderer always returns to the scene of the crime." Well, I was there last year (see September 2024 review) and I returned again this year, where I: 1. Ate well; 2. Treated not as a customer but as a friend; 3. Cleanliness of the restaurant, elegance of the location; 4. Kindness, patience, and helpfulness of the staff; and 5. Professionalism of the "waiter manager." The review isn't just about the pizza, but also applies to other dates with different dishes... Pizza, meat, fish, mixed appetizers, first courses, beer, wine. I have the presumption of wanting to return next time. Photos are not required to prove my presence on site.

16/10/2025: I had dinner this evening at this restaurant, which I can truly describe as beautiful. From the location to the staff to the food, everything was delicious and high-quality. Highly recommended!

20/09/2025: Centrally located and easy to get to. Convenient and quiet location (despite it being Saturday rush hour). Very friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff (especially the two owners). Delicious food and drinks (the raw sausage and glass of Primitivo were so good we ordered them again) and very reasonable prices. I'll be back and highly recommend it.

09/09/2025: Great value for money. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful. Parking is required in town because the location is in the historic center.

10/09/2025: Excellent aperitif, excellent welcome, I recommend it to gourmets, top

07/09/2025: Very friendly service. Delicious aperitif.

05/11/2025: Cuisine based on locally grown products, prepared according to ancient peasant culinary art and presented by the owner in a discreet, impeccable, and expert manner. Great hospitality.

04/11/2025: As soon as you step inside this place, you feel like you've entered a TV set: Kitchen Nightmares. But then, as you sit down at the table, begin to fully enjoy the experience, and especially as you wander into the dilapidated "bathroom," you quickly realize you're not in Kitchen Nightmares, but rather on the set of "Operation NAS." We found the "open kitchen" to be a plus, as it allowed us to better see our dishes being prepared by a chef in a T-shirt and shorts, who also served as dishwasher (by hand, as there's no dishwasher, like any other hygiene standard here). The dishes at the table were therefore dirty, as was the entire place, as the photos don't do the harsh reality justice. The owner, dressed to the nines in a suit and tie, thinks he's more like a "four restaurants," explaining that it's a real, typical osteria, though they're thankful no one has ever inspected the exhaust hood. The cheese is on a grater, so guests at different tables can pass it around and grate it on their plates. This entire "authentic Bovino experience," as the host told us, cost a whopping €30 per person, which made us think that if we were the Bovino Pro Loco, we'd immediately file a formal complaint. Before booking, we were warned that the POS wasn't working that day due to connection issues (but not that the menu is fixed), but reading other reviews, it seems to me that the place is in an electromagnetic black hole, since it has never worked. Obviously, no receipt is provided, to reflect the true experience of 100 years ago, when they didn't have cards or cash registers. Don't make the same mistake we did, and if it's already too late, head to the excellent bar and pastry shop across the street, which is very clean, modern, and, above all, complies with Italian health and hygiene standards.

22/10/2025: Super price...everything excellent...stop for lunch too, I highly recommend

03/10/2025: We saw a menu on Google, but when we arrived we were told there was no menu. We ordered dishes from a list offered to us by the owner of the place and received a very expensive and unreasonable bill, very disappointing.

02/09/2025: We had dinner last night at this cozy, rustic pizzeria in San Ferdinando... what can I say... the friendliness and kindness of the service and the owners made us feel at ease; the food was excellent... everything delicious... from the pizzas to the octopus salads, to the fried calamari... the homemade panzerotti... in short, we will definitely be back... thanks La Bruschetta

01/08/2025: The food was very good, and the staff very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant; I would definitely visit if possible. The price/performance ratio is also good.
