I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

03/09/2025: Warm and welcoming, Italian, French, and English spoken. Homemade cuisine, calm and friendly atmosphere.

18/08/2025: We had dinner at this lovely restaurant, with a good appetizer and then some delicious pizzas. The lady and staff were very kind. I recommend it.

30/08/2025: We had dinner on Thursday evening and chose it as our last restaurant before returning from vacation, and I think we couldn't have made a better choice!! I'd like to start by complimenting the service and all the staff, who were incredibly kind and professional. The appetizers were excellent; we had a delicious mixed antipasto and a mussels with pepper sauce, which were incredibly fresh and flavorful! We continued with excellent Troccoli allo scoglio and octopus ragù, which have remained in our hearts! Simply special!! Finishing with a delicious fritto misto. In conclusion, I feel like 5 stars aren't enough; I highly recommend it to everyone!

27/08/2025: We tried: orecchiette (both tomato, olive, and caper, as well as pesto and clams), mussels with pepper, trattoria-style octopus, and grilled octopus... all very good and tasty! Trattoria-style portions. Simple but pleasant place. Recommended.

17/08/2025: We had dinner on the night of Ferragosto. We were very satisfied. The staff was very kind and offered excellent recommendations. The menu changes daily, even between lunch and dinner, and although it's written in dialect, the waiters explain it calmly and word for word. We ordered the zucchini flowers, and asked for them without the anchovies because my fiancée is vegetarian. They had no problem accommodating our request as they are prepared fresh. The fava bean purée and the artisanal sagne 'ncannulate with horse meat sauce were also excellent. The desserts were sublime; we had a mandarin sorbet and a dark chocolate and orange spumone, both absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the house red wine. The staff and the owner were kind and courteous. The prices are fair. They were also extremely kind when we stopped by the next morning to pick up the city guide we'd forgotten. They showed up at the restaurant early in the morning specifically to return it to us.

01/08/2025: Excellent traditional Salento cuisine, friendly staff, and a spotlessly clean place. Perhaps one of the few places in Lecce with sparkling bathrooms. Highly recommended! Oh, and you can also listen to great music (REM, Dire Straits, etc.)!

25/08/2025: A very charming and beautifully decorated location; attentive, professional, and unobtrusive staff; a fixed menu with a few twists compared to other competitors; kudos to Mrs. Irene, the heart of the Masseria. The price is in line with the offerings. Worth the trip.

25/08/2025: We stayed at this magical masseria three days ago for my birthday. The location is stunning, beautiful, surrounded by greenery, and meticulously cared for down to the smallest detail! The food was superb, simple but cooked to perfection. The owner, Irene, was incredibly kind and helpful, and even sweet enough to bring me a cake with a candle because she knew it was my birthday. We'll be back soon, perhaps during the day, so we can see the animals better. Thank you for everything!

22/06/2025: With great regret I have to give one star because during one of the evenings of the Battiti Live, the pizzas they served us were disappointing because they had a crust that was too wide, but above all they were all practically devoid of mozzarella. Focusing in particular on mine which was a Calabrese, in addition to the scarce presence of mozzarella there were only three slices of salami...

16/06/2025: Nothing went well to be honest. €70 for 2 appetizers, 1 first course and 2 glasses of wine. The fish in Puglia is divine, but here the mussels were just not good so much that we left them all over. The octopus and tagliolino were very hard. The small portions (said by us who are always surprised by the large portions in Puglia)…. Poor quality oil from the European Union (really?). The rosé tasted of vinegar (as if it were old). They were clever with the bill, since we were not from the area we found the price of the pepata at €15 just because we chose it with tomato (on the menu it was €10). Paid in cash without a receipt, no problem we didn't ask for one, but at least the courtesy of asking "did everything go well?" seeing the leftovers neither at the table, nor at the cashier... or of apologizing, offering a bitter, nothing. We left hungry and ran to eat an ice cream. Absolutely not recommended, the only nice thing about it is the sign.

17/08/2025: Excellent service and quality, affordable prices, and fantastic staff! We were so pleased we bought some meat to go and received some free livers. Thank you!

15/08/2025: The quality of the meat and local products is top-notch, and the service is impeccable. We spent a delightful family evening with good food, wine, and excellent service from Virginia and Mattia. Highly recommended; they work with passion and professionalism.

20/07/2025: Excellent 🔝🔝🔝... Location surrounded by nature, delicious food, friendly, cheerful, and above all fast staff. We always love coming back.

18/05/2025: Abbiamo pranzato in questo agriturismo, immerso nella campagna, tra gli ulivi di Corato Menù a prezzo fisso, composto da un ricco antipasto, due primi, un secondo di carne con contorno, frutta mista, dolce fatto in casa, vino, bibite, caffè e ammazzacaffè. Non abbiamo trovato nessuna difficoltà quando (dopo aver segnalato durante la prenotazione) abbiamo chiesto un menù senza glutine. I titolari e i ragazzi al servizio gentilissimi e molto educati. Una bella scoperta. Consigliatissimo.

10/06/2025: Lucia and Rocco have created a cake for a scenic and delicious end-of-year party with a delicate taste suitable for adults and children

26/04/2025: Favorite place for me and my friends for kebab, the owner has been a friend for decades, excellent and very light kebab at very affordable prices compared to the competition and all without any change in ingredients over the years

21/03/2025: Very kind owner and fantastic kebab. Recommended.

10/09/2025: Always like at home: quality, taste and kindness.

09/09/2025: Don't look at other reviews, you eat very well and the price is right... by chance but we got it right!!!

08/09/2025: A truly wonderful surprise. The place is beautiful, the dinner truly excellent. I ordered an appetizer, first course, and second course because I wanted to treat myself, and I succeeded...compliments to the chef. The price is reasonable for what I got...compared to other local establishments, we're at a different and higher level. The raw fish was excellent, the tagliatelle with purple shrimp were stellar, and the amberjack skewer was delicious. A generous glass of wine, fresh and excellent, all in all, in a place that's not "upscale," but is beautiful in its own right. Highly recommended.

08/09/2025: Excellent dishes in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere. I recommend the baked catch of the day, delicious in its simplicity. As other customers have already noted, the dishes are refined and very well executed. The staff is courteous and very friendly. I can't recommend it highly enough.

01/06/2025: Excellent food with lots of choice, knowledgeable staff, average price.

17/02/2025: Truly a nice surprise, you get the right food at the right price. Advised.

16/08/2025: Excellent pizza, welcoming place, kind and knowledgeable staff.

02/08/2025: The pizza used to be one of my favorites, but last time it didn't live up to expectations. I'll definitely be back.

29/07/2025: Volevamo festeggiare con i parenti più stretti il nostro matrimonio civile. Abbiamo quindi scelto il Moody sia per la bellezza della location che per la centralità della posizione nel centro storico di Manfredonia. Il menù è molto ampio e spazia tra delizie di mare e prelibati tagli di carne. Per quanto riguarda il servizio possiamo dire che Francesco è stata a nostra disposizione esclusiva, seguendoci e consigliandoci nelle scelte. La cantina inoltre offre etichette importanti e meno importanti ma comunque di gran gusto e selezione. Che dire, i nostri ospiti sono rimasti estasiati e noi felici di aver scelto, per un giorno così importante, il Moody!

28/07/2025: Siamo andati in questo ristorante, in centro a Manfredonia, spinti dal fatto di vederlo al primo posto per recensioni e... confermo in toto il parere del web. Grazioso locale vicino al campanile, ambiente rilassante e personale molto cortese. Piatti di pesce eccezionali: noi abbiamo provato sia lo scoglio, sia l'antipasto sia il polpo ed era tutto ottimo. Anche la scelta dei vino molto ampia. Unico appunto la grigliata di carne: un po' povera (avrei evitato di servire l'hamburger). Prezzi commisurati alla qualità, superiore alla media di Manfredonia, ma inferiore a qualunque locale del Nord Italia.

01/09/2025: We stopped at this hotel to break up our journey to Puglia. The staff were super friendly, the room was spacious, and the bathroom was clean. The food was very home-style, without too many frills, and the food was decent. The double room cost €80.

03/08/2025: We went for lunch and it was a wonderful discovery. Good food, friendly service, and impeccable attention to detail for those like me who are gluten intolerant. An experience to repeat.
