I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

19/10/2025: We tried this place based on the many positive reviews, and I can say it was a pleasant discovery. I'd return 1,000 times over. I'll start with the heart of the place: the waiters. All young and ready to accommodate our every request, always friendly and extremely kind. We started with an appetizer each, all delicious, but we were surprised by the veal chops, horsemeat chops, and goulash. Words can't explain it; you have to try it to believe it. The meat melted in your mouth and reminded me of grandma's Sunday sauce. We continued with the mixed roast meat (if you must try the pizza, I recommend one roast for every two people). The bombette were truly tasty. We had two pizzas: the Margherita, very good, and the Martinese, the latter a must-try. The dough was very light and crispy. Dessert was a must-try. We ordered homemade tiramisu, and it couldn't have been better. A MUST TRY!!! Thanks to the owner, who makes sure nothing is left over and recommends what to bring so nothing goes to waste. Thanks again, and we'll definitely be back!!

17/10/2025: We went there on Sunday for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. The restaurant has a rustic feel and is beautifully decorated. We had a fantastic meal! Cold and hot appetizers: platters of cured meats and cheeses, horse and pork rolls, small birds, meatballs, zucchini chips with parmesan shavings; first courses: porcini agnolotti, both plain and with cherry tomatoes... And last but not least, the fantastic grilled bombette, sausage, and chicken livers accompanied by grilled potatoes drizzled with olive oil. Top-quality ingredients, expertly seasoned. The owner, Enrico, is a very friendly person, explained the menu to us and gave us excellent suggestions. We had a great time. 5 stars are not enough; they deserve 10!

20/09/2025: Reading the reviews...definitely overrated. Nice atmosphere. Decent appetizers. The tagliolini with squid ink was good. The sirloin Wellington definitely needs a revisit, even though it's already been revisited. Replacing the crust on the sirloin Wellington with pancakes...absolutely not. Mushrooms weren't listed on the menu...for those with allergies or intolerances, it's not fair. The bread was taken away between the appetizer and the main course.

17/09/2025: First time at this enchanting location. The food exceeded expectations. The staff was friendly and attentive. The chef was extremely attentive and creative. An experience not to be missed!

06/10/2025: A beautiful place, romantic, not expensive, clean, old Italian atmosphere

01/10/2025: Family-run business with extremely attentive service and reasonable prices. The spaghetti con fried do Mare was perfect, as was the house white wine. And a handwritten bill...

02/10/2025: Great personal experience for both food and beer.

29/09/2025: Perfect Staff, perfect food, perfect food, beauttifull space and the best beer in a world Konig Ludwig :)

27/09/2025: We waited a total of 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!

25/09/2025: Only for those who love real pizza. And only for those who understand the concept of a classic pizzeria! The best in LECCE

17/10/2025: In the heart of Mesagne's historic center, this place is truly a delight in terms of hospitality, kindness, quality of food, and service down to the last detail. Fairly priced. Highly recommended!

13/10/2025: I'm truly disappointed with the service. We made reservations on October 5th for October 12th, but when we arrived at the restaurant, our last name wasn't on the reservations. One of the staff forgot to write us down, or there was a mistake, and they offered us to eat outside, even though it was cold and we were coming from Bari. I find this behavior unprofessional and downright frustrating. We won't be returning.

05/10/2025: Quite nice here. Small food selection. Very friendly chef.

04/10/2025: Great place, great food, small and cozy restaurant with their own brewed beer ! An experience which I would repeat and recommend !

13/10/2025: Cool location, good beats, great gallery. We suspect the service isn't serving the snack nuts to everyone.

08/10/2025: To enjoy a moment of happiness in the company of a cocktail, in a sublime place

17/10/2025: The raw fish really impressed me. Far superior to anything else I've ever tried.

14/10/2025: Authentic Bari cuisine, seafood, octopus, and cuttlefish, all fresh! Fast service, friendly, smiling, and welcoming waiters and owner. Highly recommended! We'll be back soon!

09/09/2025: Truly amazing restaurant! The service, food, atmosphere - everything was above and beyond. We ended up going this restaurant twice during our short visit in Taranto. We saw people picking up fresh fish they want to eat and it was cooked freshly and your server bring it to the table, show how they clean the fish in front of you and serve the fillet. This was awesome experience. We tried many dishes, everything was on top-notch. The dessert lemon sorbet - it was perfect to clean up your mouth. Highly recommend this restaurant and don’t forget to make a reservation before you go.

07/09/2025: Excellent food and high-quality service. The prices are average for this type of restaurant. The place is a bit dated, but I think they wanted to maintain that style.

21/09/2025: The place was very nice, the food was good and the service was attentive.

20/09/2025: Wonderful 💗 porcini mushrooms from appetizer to main course 💕

05/10/2025: A sweet Sunday thanks to your pastries 👍👍👍

21/09/2025: Sweet Notes is: when a "simple" cake makes all the difference for your occasion... Incredible ice cream

05/09/2025: Quality food and friendly staff. The tasting menu features unique and unusual pairings; I highly recommend it. The seafood ragù tube with shrimp tartare is also very good.

17/08/2025: High quality food and service, excellent value for money

12/10/2025: I pack up my bike and head inside. It's 1:30 PM, there's a lot of people, so the guy who welcomes me places me outside, but in the "most sheltered spot." A small, great touch of kindness. I love eating outside; for me, it's the authentic way to eat, especially in the South, with people passing by, birds singing, the breeze, and a beautiful church in the background. Excellent dish of "maritati" (traditional Italian pasta) with involtini al sugo (rolls with tomato sauce). But then again, when the father is in charge, the son is serving, and the mother is in the kitchen, you can never go wrong! Great selection of wines, which unfortunately I only admired considering the kilometers still to be cycled. Thank you so much; this is the Italy I'm looking for.

10/10/2025: An insider tip, premium food... Wonderful people. Passion, values, love...
