I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

08/09/2025: An ideal place for those who love to eat a lot and well. Good value for money.

03/09/2025: A restaurant in the historic center of town, with a large, well-furnished outdoor area. Friendly staff. Good food, typical of Puglia's cuisine. Unfortunately, I ordered a rare steak, and it arrived very underdone. What a shame. It was already late, and I didn't report the mix-up so they could rectify the oversight. There was a loud concert in the nearby square. It's a shame; the location deserves a very good rating.

08/09/2025: An elegant and refined venue, combining a refined atmosphere with excellent cuisine. Dishes are prepared with the highest quality ingredients, presented with taste and attention to detail. An excellent choice for experiencing Otranto with a touch of class and authentic flavor.

06/09/2025: Very mediocre service and food and too expensive for what they offer. Borderline tourist trap. No thanks

07/10/2025: Very good, worth trying, I recommend the ribeye.

04/10/2025: Very friendly staff, fast service, I recommend!

11/10/2025: Amazing food, best are the meat sushi’s !

29/09/2025: Super delicious food! Friendly service! Highly recommended!

05/10/2025: Perfect place. Perfect service. Perfect food.

27/09/2025: Friendly, courteous service is the key to any restaurant. But if you add a touch of Sardinia to the heart of the old town, the magic happens. The Cagliari-Bari couple who run Fortino know how to put their guests at ease, offering both traditional Bari and Sardinian dishes (like malloreddus and culurgiones) as well as pizzas. Based on our experience, I can't recommend this place highly enough, even if you're looking for something a little different.

06/10/2025: I can only recommend this place if you want to enjoy impeccably cooked and served fish. Beautiful location.

21/09/2025: Excellent dishes, fresh fish, and impeccable service. Highly recommended!

10/10/2025: I'll start by saying that I live in Bali and when I return to Italy I look for the flavors of home and I'm very picky. I travel around Italy from north to south, including the islands. I've been in Puglia for a few days and, in the company of a friend, I visited Corte degli Ulivi. I met Rocco, the owner, who welcomed me with an impromptu aperitif, based on my request, of prosecco and amazing fried foods! From there, I should have known that the dinner would exceed my expectations. But Rocco and the staff knew how to surprise me! They served me a plate of raw fish worthy of a bow, accompanied by a prestigious wine and then surprised me with a dessert I was unfamiliar with called "spumone"! Believe me, it was a dinner worthy of an A+. The service, location, courtesy, professionalism were the backdrop to this perfectly plated and excellent quality food. You're wondering how much it cost? Incredible value for money. If there were more stars to give this review, they would never be enough! I thank Rocco for giving me this magnificent experience.

07/10/2025: What a wonderful, lovingly run restaurant. I definitely recommend booking. Take your time and enjoy the food and the evening!

30/09/2025: The pizza was delicious, and the staff was friendly. The ambiance, right on the busy street, was rather unpleasant. However, the prices were absolutely excellent.

14/09/2025: My husband and I come from France to eat pizza in Peschici, beautiful Peschici is famous and the service is impeccable

14/09/2025: Nice small whine shop and tapas restaurant. We enjoyed mixed tapas and a decent glass of whine. Very kind and helpful owner.

12/09/2025: I just came for a drink, quiet terrace and great music

29/09/2025: Excellent food, refined and comfortable place, I always come back with pleasure, the owners are very kind and professional

24/09/2025: I had dinner with my wife, they accept dogs without any problems, wonderful place, convenient and large parking, simply fantastic staff, Marco is very friendly and helpful, the fish-based dishes chosen were truly tasty and fresh, highly recommended location.

20/09/2025: Located in an old charming palazzo in the historic centre of Manduria, the restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining, the latter with tables on the sidewalk of the old piazza - nice, but subject to the traffic noise that at times can be annoying. The food was excellent, we enjoyed our pasta dishes (orecchiette con melanzane e cacioricotta, and spaghetti alle vongole) and the trancio di spada alla brace that we both chose, fresh and well prepared. With shared appetiser of bruschette tradizionali, a bottle of white wine (Alice, from local verdeca grapes), water, coffee, and limoncello, the bill for the two of us was €85. Service was cordial and efficient. The overall ambiance was pleasant and welcoming, perhaps the music played in the indoor pizzeria/bar area was a little too loud and "overflowed" into the outside dining area. If you park the the blue lines section and use one of the APP services like EasyPark, be aware that the "parking spot number" that may be asked for is indicated in a little tag attached to the curb along the individual parking spot. We had a pleasant evening, and will be back.

20/09/2025: Good quality restaurant, wines at very reasonable prices. When booking, be sure to specify "table in the interior courtyard" to avoid being on the terrace which is on the Place Garibaldi side: lots of noise and cars 😱

02/10/2025: We were here on September 30th to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our 6-year-old daughter, and what can I say... it was a fantastic experience! The place is really cute and welcoming, but what struck us most was the staff: kind, helpful, and super attentive. We felt pampered from start to finish. The meat? Delicious, truly high-quality! The prices are reasonable; in fact, I'd say they're fair for what they offer. We came here thanks to word of mouth from friends, and now I understand why they'd raved so much about it. I recommend it to everyone: if you're looking for a place to eat well and feel at home, this is the place. We'll definitely be back!

29/08/2025: I'll start by saying that this was my first time at this place, which is very spacious and during the week, and I must say it was quite crowded. After all the food I've had, I honestly expected better. The food overall was good; the idea of ​​cooking the meat right at the table is nice, but the appetizers and mixed grill were average; I didn't find anything exceptional. I wouldn't go back if I had to go specifically to try excellent meat; not because it wasn't good, but because I've had better.

03/10/2025: The place was full and we were not aware of the need of reserved table. OK, but they sent us away in a not fully agreeable manner.

02/10/2025: One of the best meals we've ever experienced. Incredible staff too.

06/09/2025: The carbonara was absolutely delicious, one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend!

06/09/2025: Best rest for pasta in Bari. Thank you 👍

28/09/2025: Positive experience with the baptism of our little girl and now we are going back for the communion of our eldest daughter.

22/09/2025: Simply unique experience, excellent organization, great food and guaranteed fun
