I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

28/09/2025: Rare are those occasions when you experience something that truly surprises. This restaurant is essentially the living room of a 1970s-style house, no more, no less, with its simplicity and, above all, (for those who've experienced it), its sense of melancholy (in a positive sense) that brings to mind those Sunday lunches at your grandparents' house. The cuisine is simple, nothing complex, hearty like a grandmother would make, and lends itself to longer, more relaxed dining, where you can put down your phone and start a conversation while looking around, perhaps even at other diners. Special attention is also paid to those with specific intolerances (in my case, lactose). More than satisfied.

28/09/2025: A truly unique place with a vintage style (which I love ❤️) and attention to detail. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, accompanied by light and pleasant background music. The cuisine is simple and authentic, with impeccable service. The owners are helpful and very kind. I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something simple but different.

02/05/2025: When creativity meets the glass, aperitifs are born that seem like small journeys. Heartfelt thanks to those who know how to listen to tastes, moods and desires and transform them into tailor-made drinks. Because sometimes a well-thought-out sip is enough to feel better. Thanks, see you soon.

29/04/2025: Strategic place to, let's say, sit down and eat something. Just enough aperitif... but very high cost, I will hardly go back.

04/10/2025: Excellent pastry shop and friendly staff. The new management has made a leap forward by renovating the shop and focusing on quality and local products.

26/09/2025: Management changed, prices remained medium/high as did the medium/low quality of products.

21/07/2025: So, let's start with Tina, a brilliant, intelligent, and friendly woman. Together with her husband, Antonio (a great yet humble professional), the driving force behind the kitchen, they run this truly excellent business, offering excellent products with an UNMATCHED quality/price ratio! Just to name one... the baked panzerotto is a must-try, a spectacle for €1.50!

10/09/2025: A wonderful place, and the staff made the evening unforgettable! We were a group of over 15 people; the view, the drinks, and the attention did the rest :) All the girls have wonderful memories of Taranto, thanks in part to the Palio. Thanks again!

31/08/2025: We went for an after-dinner drink in one of Taranto's best locations. The view, next to the Aragonese Castle, is truly breathtaking. The staff welcomed us professionally and escorted us to our table. We ordered two amari and enjoyed the moonlight reflected on the sea.

16/07/2025: Preso un aperitivo in una bella baia… locale sulla spiaggia… con prodotti scadenti.. aperitivo inesistente… servizio pessimo.. vanno chiamati con il megafono per farti servire

20/06/2025: Awesome place for a relaxing day

10/08/2025: The meat quality is excellent but it is served cold...

16/07/2025: We found ourselves there by chance, excellent food, delicious homemade appetizers, truly special grilled meat, not to mention the service, qualified, professional and always available, I highly recommend, a must try, congratulations!!!

08/06/2025: Location: molto molto bella, fronte lago, immersi in una natura meravigliosa. Unico appunto: la strada per arrivare è da incubo, piena di buche, stretta (e a doppio senso) e dissestata. Forse non tornerei proprio a causa di questa. Cibo: abbiamo preso un tagliere di salumi e formaggi e una tartare di manzo entrambi buoni, meglio la tartare. Un'orecchietta con zucchine e uno gnocco cacio e pepe e tartufo, le prime buone nella norma mentre lo gnocco troppo secco poco cremosi. A seguire uno spiedino di pollo marinato agli agrumi, buonissimo il piatto migliore della giornata, una cicorietta e patate al forno entrambi buoni. Carino il discorso della birra prodotta da un birrificio locale a pochi km di distanza. Il voto per il cibo sarebbe da 3,5 fa propendere la scelta a 4 per la meravigliosa location. Servizio: giovane, alla mano, gentili. Prezzo: 115 euro il totale, ci sta. Non ho capito il discorso delle 9 euro a persona per entrare al lago. Se voglio prendere un lettino ok ma farmi una semplice passeggiata e dover pagare 9 euro la trovo assurda come cosa.

02/06/2025: Premettendo che siamo frequentatori assidui del posto anche d’inverno, oggi una volta arrivati ci viene chiesto il biglietto d’ingresso. Eravamo in compagnia del nostro amico a 4 zampe di 3 mesi che purtroppo ancora non può stare con gli altri cani. Per noi l’ingresso era di 9€ essendo un festivo mentre per lui di 25€. Pur spiegando che sarebbe stato con noi sotto il lettino perché non poteva assolutamente stare con gli altri cani e sottolineando che il costo per il suo ingresso ci sembrava alquanto assurdo, hanno preferito perdere un cliente piuttosto che accontentarci in qualche modo. Ho trovato il personale piuttosto inadeguato ed i prezzi altrettanto. Mi chiedo come sia possibile che un posto donato dalla natura sia interamente sopraffatto dal profitto senza mettere a disposizione anche di chi non può permetterselo una giornata al lago!

12/07/2025: Excellent restaurant near the sea, friendly staff, a huge round of applause for Antonio

12/07/2025: Nice place, friendly service, and good food. It's a very spacious place with a large terrace overlooking the sea. The service is average, and the staff is kind and courteous. The dishes are simple and good. The price is fair.

20/09/2025: I've been to the pizzeria three times, but the first time was enough to tell me that Pizza & Jazz is run by truly high-quality professionals. Everything that arrived at the table was top-quality. Compliments to the managers and all the staff.

05/09/2025: Pizza by the slice, nice place but really rude staff, especially the blonde lady at the cash register who doesn't even bother looking at you while you wait to pay and is playing with her phone before presenting you with the bill in black, obviously without a receipt... The girl at the pizza counter is very confused, she can't understand what you're ordering and always gets confused about what you're asking for. The place isn't very clean. The tables are quite greasy and honestly eating on the table with other people's crumbs and oil disgusts me quite a bit. The food is average, nothing special... A plus is the spacious place... give a half smile to the customer who brings you your daily bread.

18/10/2025: Got one slice of the hot salami pizza and loved it. The tomato sauce, cheese, and dough all tasted real and fresh. I could’ve easily eaten a whole pizza. At €3 a slice, I was more than happy with that.

29/07/2025: Very good pizza with pepperoni and puccia with mozzarella, tomato and prosciutto.

29/06/2025: I made the mistake of ordering a pizza with Neapolitan dough. The result was a pizza made with double dough that was even double and practically raw. Under the mozzarella the dough was still raw. It is not possible that you sit down to relax for 20 minutes to enjoy a holy pizza and instead be disappointed. My advice is not to ask for Neapolitan dough. My advice for the restaurateur is not to offer it. I could have said it at the time but the suggestion of remaking the pizza makes me uncomfortable, instead the restaurateur should know every single dish of his restaurant. It is part of the job. Probably if I had ordered a classic "Barese" pizza it would have been very good.

31/10/2025: Friendly and welcoming staff, excellent and well-filled pizza

07/09/2025: Delicious takeout pizza. Wide selection of flavors, fairly fast service. Excellent choice for a quick dinner.

09/10/2025: Everything was very good, excellent service. I recommend it.

05/10/2025: Very average welcome. Very average food. One of those restaurants that places people alone behind a post or in the draft of the door. Avoid.

14/10/2025: The place is too noisy... regardless, I was there on a Saturday night... tables crowded together and close together... general chaos... good pizza dough but too much confusion, it was impossible to talk

03/10/2025: Excellent little restaurant Very kind and helpful staff. Good food. The spaghetti all'assassina was excellent. Reasonably priced.
