I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

17/08/2025: 5 stars for the place. Eating at sunset is an experience. However, I don't know if we were just unlucky, but we happened to be there on a night where the food was terrible. Tough octopus salad, tasteless shrimp in a pink sauce, incredibly salty mussels, and fried fish so chewy I couldn't chew it. It's a shame, because the place deserves it.

15/08/2025: The worst experience in Italy. The service is beyond reproach. I had mixed seafood on the hotplate (I think) that came raw. I asked them to cook it and they brought it burnt. They don't care about their customers. I asked them twice to cook it and the waitress was annoyed by the effort. Too bad about the seafood that was fresh

26/08/2025: We tried pasticciotta ricotta pistachio and I liked it very much.

26/08/2025: Located in a stunning location, it offers excellent quality, but unfortunately the bathrooms are really poorly maintained! What a shame!

25/08/2025: TERRIBLE, STAY AWAY. Let me start by saying that the positive reviews were probably written by friends/relatives, because otherwise I can't explain it. My partner and I were in Gallipoli and decided to dine there because it's conveniently located, but unfortunately, we didn't read the reviews first. Luckily, we only ordered two pizzas (avoiding possible food poisoning). After 10 minutes, the "pizzas" arrived, and we were shocked: two marble-like piadinas with watery sauce on top. Comparing them to the frozen ones from the supermarket is a great compliment. Having closed the food topic, I have to mention the promoter stationed outside trying to attract customers: he's intrusive to say the least, and above all, fake, as he stands in the middle of the street approaching passersby and selling them his "fantastic" cuisine. The only positive note is the young people serving tables, who are very kind; as soon as we arrived with our dog, they immediately brought us a bowl of water without even asking. To conclude this outrage, we paid the bill at a pseudo-cash register with a hostile and, to say the least, uninterested owner, adding insult to injury.

23/08/2025: Terrible experience. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Nightmare kitchen.

13/07/2025: I ordered on Glovo, wanting to try a first course and a second course. Everything was delicious, the prices were more than fair, the portions generous, and everything was truly NOT left to chance. Usually, I have to season the grilled vegetables; they were the only ones who added oil and salt. The artisanal stamps and thanks were greatly appreciated. I'll come sit down and bring others with me. Well done. You don't work just for the sake of it; in Foggia, things made with love are missing. You are the few left who care about the details. Keep up the good work and don't conform. See you soon!

05/07/2025: A true sensory experience, to be repeated

05/09/2025: Good mango-coconut drink. The snack selection was far too extensive. The red wine was much too warm. The chef is a unique character, warm and friendly, but in the end, you get completely ripped off with the (undeclared) prices. Entertaining, but you should only order from the menu.

05/09/2025: Michele, the owner, gives us a very warm welcome... and then we get started. The first recommendation (a non-alcoholic drink) is really very good and large, with a mango (molto speciale!) and coconut base. He asks if we'd like some taralli and olives, but then shows up with a huge platter with four other things on it, looking great. We don't ask about the price; he doesn't mention anything. After that, we fancy a glass of red wine. He presents us with four different bottles, two DOCG-quality, so molto speciale! We choose the Nero di Troia and only later learn that it's supposed to have 17% ABV/ALC!!! We didn't ask about the price for this one either. Our mistake. He offers a plate of blue cheese (molto speciale) and "homemade" taralli with fennel seeds (molto speciale), which are very good and go perfectly with the meal. Since it's so cozy right now, and luckily the strong, cool wind has passed, we order a second glass. He then offers a plate with four small rolls with specialties. They're not playing much that evening, so he turns up the music (Santana, etc.), which is good, but a little too loud. And then we start talking (we were actually planning to pay and leave), but Michele has found in us the people he was missing today. The conversation turns political, about the current world situation, who's to blame for this debacle, about young people, etc. At some point, we finally manage to pay and are surprised by the high prices of the wine and the first tapas... but we didn't ask, our mistake! So, it was indeed a molto speciale evening; all in all, it was definitely very warm here with Michele (next time, ask about the prices beforehand)!

21/07/2025: No había absolutamente ningún servicio en este lugar. La primera noche no tenía agua tibia en la ducha (nadie respondió a mi mensaje) , no fui capaz de abrir las puertas (llamado y mensajes la recepción - sin respuesta) . El lugar es en realidad un restaurante nocturno que luego también tiene algunas habitaciones para alquilar, por lo tanto el mal servicio y la renuencia a servir a los huéspedes del hotel. No vale el dinero.

26/06/2025: A cena in coppia. Location invidiabile con vista sul maniero federiciano. Menu’ un tantino ricercato e scarso. Abbiamo ordinato 2 antipasti (panzanella) 2 secondi di carne un dessert e un amaro con 3 birre. Totale 98,00 euro. CARISSIMO. Servizio approssimativo. Non pensiamo di ritornarci.

06/09/2025: Kindness, quality at its best for 8 years!

19/08/2025: The food is terrible, the service is unacceptable They charged up to 2€ per person for the cutlery (knife & fork)

15/06/2025: Unser heutiger Besuch war leider enttäuschend. Lange Wartezeit, Sugo hat nicht überzeugt. Hatte es vom letzten Winter besser in Erinnerung. Damals hat alles gepasst. Heute hat sich die Wartezeit nicht gelohnt. Schade.

13/06/2025: Antes de nada leí las otras reseñas. Algunos pobres y algunos buenos, pero como este lugar fue recomendado por el aire ser y ser propietario esperábamos calidad. Conseguimos calidad seguro. El filete estaba fabuloso al igual que las patatas fritas que lo acompañaban. La pizza era tan deliciosa y el vino excepcional. Nuestro camarero tenía un poco de inglés y nuestro jefe de grupo un poco de italiano, así que nos las arreglamos para pedir. Odio con pasión los sistemas de menús electrónicos desde el covid pero me las arreglé. Sí, algunos camareros están un poco distraídos. SÍ, el servicio es lento, pero esto es Italia donde nadie se apresura. La factura llegó a 165€ incluyendo una buena botella de vino tinto, 2 aperol spritz, 3 minerales 2 botellas de agua 2 chips anti pasta. Con 5 adultos todos con uñas y 3 postres. Estaba delicioso.

08/09/2025: Quiet place! Friendly and friendly owners, it feels like home on vacation! Excellent food. Top-quality meat! The horse meat is TOP! The best in Salento so far... Overall rating: EXCELLENT

02/09/2025: Horse meat, hands down the best I've ever had: arrosticini, diaphragm, rib eye, meatballs. A unique experience, fair prices, and the owners are incredibly kind. Plus, which doesn't hurt, you eat in the little square, and I have to say, the beauty of the surrounding scenery almost made it feel like you were in a movie. Thank you! See you soon.

22/08/2025: Highly recommended by a vacationer who had been there the day before, we didn't find the fish quality or the food good. As I've already read in another review, the same story about the POS not working was repeated, which is clearly not a coincidence. If you're a fan of good fish, this isn't the place to go. A big shout-out to the waitress, who was truly kind and helpful.

21/08/2025: The minimum rating is 1, but I would have given it 0. First of all, the location, which is charming and quaint, but old and outdated, is scorching hot, both inside and out. The outdoor tables have a damaged roof that allows dirt and flowers from the trees outside to fall onto the plates and tables. We moved inside, the air conditioning is non-existent, and it's really hot. There are two ceiling lamps with fans that run, but without them, it would be the same... There were 4 of us, and we spent €100 for three tasteless, small, and tasteless pasta dishes (most first courses require a minimum of two courses) and two mixed fried fish dishes, the same thing. At the end of the meal, we asked for a lemon sorbet, which was served warm, very sweet, and inedible... and it cost us €4 each!!! At the register, there's a big sign that says POS not working. We paid cash and didn't complain, but it's obviously illegal. If it weren't for the kindness of the waitress and the relatives full of photos of the sea, shells, and all the things that are so characteristic of the place... A nightmare restaurant. Renovate the place and taste the dishes before offering them to customers!! They were pitiful.

28/07/2025: Serviert was versprochen. Bar in angenehmer gemütlicher Lage, nahe des Zentrums. Kleine Snacks gratis erhalten (Chips, Tortillas, Tarelli). Alles ok.

26/05/2025: TURISTAS CUIDADO! No vayas aquí. Pedimos lo que estaba en exhibición, un tablero de aperitivos. Cuando llegó no parecía la pantalla. Estaba lleno de pan en lugar de carnes y quesos. A 25€ fue una estafa. La copa de vino era un vertido muy pequeño. Cometimos el error de no leer comentarios antes de ir. Pasamos y estaba lleno de gente local. El vino sirve y las tablas de aperitivos se veían bien. Engañan a los turistas. ¡VETE A OTRA PARTE!

25/08/2025: "Negative review: IL COVO DELLA TARANTA - Galatina (LE) I don't recommend this restaurant because of their reservation management. I made a reservation online through Quandoo and received a confirmation, but when I arrived, the staff denied the reservation and said they had no seats available. The service was terrible, and I won't repeat the experience."

20/08/2025: The pizza is inedible. Not only cold, but clearly old. And it's unacceptable: the order was placed 40 minutes before delivery, the delivery driver took just 10 minutes, and the platform tracks their movements. It's therefore impossible for this pizza to have been made fresh. Deliveries like this suggest recycling leftovers. If you truly believe it's acceptable to send customers a product in this condition, I'd like to see if you'd have the courage to eat it yourself.

13/07/2025: One star and even too much would deserve 0.0 for the incompetent staff and disorganized owner if it hadn't been for the pleasant karaoke with an exceptional team

08/07/2025: We stayed at this property for work. The owner was very kind and helpful, welcoming us courteously and making us feel at ease. The rooms are large and comfortable enough, but overall the property could use a little more attention. It's not the best, but it's not bad either: for a short stay, it's more than adequate.
