I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

22/08/2025: We had lunch at the estate on Ferragosto (August 15th). Adult menu €55: excellent homemade appetizers, a first course, a meat-based second course, fruit, drinks, and dessert. Good food. What I absolutely didn't like was seeing all the tables get second helpings multiple times, while we didn't get any. Honestly, I found this dynamic unkind to the other diners. Otherwise, it was a nice place.

21/04/2025: Location bellissima e ben curata,cucina ottima e molto casereccia fatta di prodotti locali e salutari. Una location dove poter tornare x avvenimenti particolari o pranzo tra amici.

26/06/2025: The meat melted in your mouth 🥰 everything was delicious

24/06/2025: Every detail is designed to ensure a unique and pleasant experience.

18/06/2025: The service was unparalleled. They explained the dishes to us, even with photos, recommended an excellent Puglia wine, and the food was spectacular...just let yourself go...

21/05/2025: A fantastic place to spend a wonderful evening in company and in a pleasant environment. 7 years in which this place never disappoints. With quality and local products, extraordinary attention to the dishes served and the cuts of meat. Excellent and above all fast service (even though we went on a Saturday, we were served immediately and the waiters were always available for everything) and a super kind owner. A place that never misses a beat, always frequented and that I will continue to frequent to spend a few hours of carefree and good food. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)

23/05/2025: HO ORDINATO UN OTTIMA PIZZA LOCALE DAVVERO ACCOGLIENTE PERSONALE DAVVERO GENTILE TEMPI DI ATTESA BREVISSIMI CI RITORNERÒ

18/04/2025: This evening I decided to book a table at this place. I've been there many other times and I've always had a great time! The education, the friendliness of the owner and his collaborators, the quality of the raw materials and the excellent cuisine mean that this place is always full of customers who return with pleasure! 10 and praise!

23/08/2025: Inedible pizza, I strongly recommend changing pizza chef, too bad

19/08/2025: Everything was top notch for my brother's wedding reception. The staff was kind and helpful. I'll definitely be back.

09/09/2025: We're originally from the area, and since we still have relatives nearby, we often return in the summer. With fond memories of a dinner there in 2019, we decided to return to what, at the time, seemed like an excellent restaurant with excellent value. We booked for 1:00 PM. Once we arrived, the place looked exactly as we remembered. As soon as we were seated, we weren't presented with a menu. Perhaps out of naivety or trust, we believed they had the same fixed menu for everyone like years ago. The appetizers arrived: a rather anonymous selection of cold cuts, pancetta, salami, and a parmigiana terrine. Nothing like the flavors and quality we remembered. At 1:30 PM, the place was full. At that point, the waiter asked us for patience: the kitchen would "align" with the other tables that had just arrived. We, convinced there was a fixed menu, understood and patiently accepted, even though it seemed strange. From here on, a frenzy like never before began. Because the kitchen was open, most of the diners could see what was happening inside. A constant coming and going of people seemingly unrelated to the staff, laughter, jokes, confusion. The staff seemed completely disconnected from reality, as if they didn't even own the place. Some customers got up to get water themselves (perhaps all relatives?). The cooks looked agitated. A package of pasta was opened and fell to the floor (let's hope it wasn't the same pasta we ate later). Meanwhile, the diners in the dining room, growing increasingly impatient, awaited the first course. The waiter's only comment was: "Don't look at me, it's only 3:30, we've only just started." At 3:30, the first course finally arrived: orecchiette with a single piece of cardoncello mushroom each. The table behind us finds a piece of plastic on their plate, which turns out to be part of the pasta packaging, as the waiter himself admitted (and the question of the fallen pasta returns). Meanwhile, two impatient tables ask for the bill and leave; we do the same, explaining that we've been there since 1 PM and that we need to get back to start preparing for our trip home. The waiter, in a rude and indifferent tone, "invites" us to stay because "everything is arriving," and also tells us to say hello to his aunt (up north), as if to say "Hello to so...". Convinced to get up, in 10 minutes they bring us EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME: 1) a second "taste" of the first course each with asparagus 2) 8 strips of tagliata to share between three, so tough that not even the dog wanted them. On the side, old and wilted arugula, probably forgotten in the fridge. 3) 1 pineapple and peach segment each. 4) 3 reheated puff pastry pastries. Finally, we were presented with a receipt listing the total of 120 euros, with no details about the menu chosen, only the "cover charge" section. Feeling nervous, we politely asked if he thought the service was 40 euros per person. He responded, "You ate everything, the price should be even more." I'll spare you the final details for privacy reasons and unprovable insinuations, but nevertheless, with great difficulty and always with a general sense of rudeness, we finally managed to smooth out the cost situation and bring out the menu (because there is a menu!) with the words "NEW MANAGEMENT" written on it. The menu offers various options, starting from 18 euros up to 40. Probably mistaking us for passing tourists, they saw us as a classic cash cow. Given the QUALITY, the TREATMENT RECEIVED, and the cost, we can only say: AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. Catering is a whole different ballgame! And if you're someone who can't stand rudeness and arrogance, avoid it twice. We, with no small effort, kept our cool and handled everything diplomatically, but between the arrogant responses and sarcastic jokes, I assure you it was truly difficult not to completely lose our temper.

05/09/2025: Small but well-maintained. Excellent food. Appetizers with a wide selection of well-prepared local products. Friendly staff, always ready to answer any questions. We tried a wonderful homemade fig compote. Delicious desserts.

16/08/2025: We went on the recommendation of a friend from Puglia, but we didn't think it would be this good! They welcomed us warmly and served us a wonderful dinner! We tried a mixed appetizer, tubettini pasta with scorpion fish, seared tuna, and finally granita and gelato. We'll definitely be back.

09/08/2025: decent food, good service, but high prices, for a restaurant... two starters, two first courses and a second course cost us more than 90 euros, not even a reception room costs that much... and then what a hassle the stains and the ones that pass in front of us|

17/08/2025: Terrible service, long waits Poor food

17/08/2025: Just one word I will never come back

17/08/2025: Not just for gelato. Great coffee and brilliant pastries/pasticcioto as well!

16/08/2025: Excellent ice cream. I recommend it!!

21/08/2025: Excellent service, gasoline, diesel, LPG, natural gas (LNG), and CNG are available. Excellent bar Car wash for cars and trucks

03/07/2025: Friendliness and helpfulness. Highly recommended

02/09/2025: Super good food, excellent service 👍

02/09/2025: Very nice restaurant, delicious food and perfect service. Thank you Cosimo for your kindness and friendliness. See you soon.

08/09/2025: bad bad. We booked at 9pm and at 10.30am the kitchen was already closed.

07/09/2025: Beautiful place, kind staff, humble, friendly and good owners 🩷

26/08/2025: I found the organization to be excellent and, above all, the sea and sand to be beautiful. I will definitely return.

25/08/2025: The sea looks green from the seaweed. The usual Italian politeness applies here too!!! The worst part is that they advertised a lot of restaurants, from Italian to Chinese, but they're all closed. Apparently, they're only open at lunchtime, not at night. I recommend the documentary "Lazy Europe Will Sink" to everyone :)

16/08/2025: I'm dying to work! A great bar for those with nothing to do. We sat at a table and waited for someone to come take our order, which never happened. The manager behind the register next to us was busy messing around while the bartenders and waiters watched us but didn't come. Finally, we got up and drank at the counter after waiting 15-20 minutes. Will I go back?! But no way!

15/08/2025: Historic Lecce bar, excellent food and excellent service.
