I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

10/08/2025: Excellent products, from bread to focaccia, pizza, and the farinata is unsurpassed. The desserts are top-quality. Adrian and his wife, along with their children, guarantee excellent customer service. Congratulations!

24/07/2025: Excellent quality restaurant, delicious food and dishes with a wide variety, very professional and helpful staff, very welcoming, I recommend it to everyone, excellent in everything.

18/07/2025: We were there for work, and were welcomed as if we were their grandchildren. The owners, Filippo and Rosaria, are two genuine, hard-working people who do everything they can to make their guests feel welcome and cared for, as do their daughters who help them, who are also tireless. After 15 days, we were sad to leave them; we felt at home. We returned two years later, again for work. The place has been completely renovated, but fortunately the spirit hasn't. I will return as soon as possible, and we will continue to return. Thank you again for everything you have done and continue to do. If you pass through Roseto, you can't miss this place. The cuisine is simple, but very good, and they are always attentive to the customer's needs. A big hug to the whole family. Fabrizio "Loren" 😁

04/07/2025: A small place a little crowded in the evening, with different types of pizza 🍕 and drinks. Pizza Margherita, Prosciuto Funghi, sandwiches, croissants, etc.

24/06/2025: Been here SEVERAL times! Probably the best pizza slice in town.. Panzerotti and pucce also TO DIE FOR!!! Staff very kind and educated as well🙌🏻

28/09/2025: This is an exceptional place! If you are looking for local cafe with nonna in the kitchen, food that was selected with great eye for quality and brought with love - this is the place! It has the warmth of a home, services that is very welcoming, great prices, and incredible and delicious food!

15/09/2025: Small neighborhood restaurant, where locals gather with friends or family. A simple place but with a warm atmosphere. The woman who greeted me was very kind; she found me a seat outside even though it was full, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, I had to wait over 50 minutes for my main course, which was the daily special on the blackboard... It ruined my appetite a bit because after a full day of exploring the city, I just wanted to eat and go home to bed not too late. So, I didn't really enjoy my chicken and chicory dish, which was a bit greasy; the vegetables were fresh. However, the pizzas looked very good.

26/11/2025: Everything was excellent. I had a salad....it was a riot of goodness, beautiful to look at and delicious. Congratulations. The staff was lovely.

17/11/2025: We had a great time, the staff were welcoming and friendly, the service was fast and very attentive, the appetizers were excellent, the first and second courses were well-prepared and plentiful, and the pizzas were very good and easy to digest. The prices were fair. That's why we came back! 👍

24/11/2025: Solid experience, focused cuisine, consistent service. Five of us dined on a Saturday night. The place was packed but the management was impeccable: perfect wait times, no friction in the service, and well-trained staff. Smooth operations, which, on a weekend, says a lot. Appetizers We started with four beef carpaccios with yellow cherry tomatoes, lamb's lettuce, and parmesan shavings: a simple but well-executed dish, finely cut, fresh ingredients, and a balanced seasoning. We also shared a first course: orecchiette with creamed turnip greens, sausage, and sun-dried tomatoes. Highly recommended. Main Courses Arrosticini: really well-made, precisely cooked, and tender meat. Grilled vegetables: standard but well-done, not burnt, not watery. As for the meat, we played it cool: I chose a sliced ​​entrecote, medium rare. The quality of the meat was evident. Another diner had a Genovese of black pork with crusty bread (pictured: very tender, full-bodied, thick sauce). The other three ordered the Maminha, served on a hot griddle, a stunning dish, and juicy meat. Excellent. In summary: the quality of the meat is high, the wait times are perfect, the presentation is meticulous and unfussy, the prices are super fair, and the atmosphere is rustic, authentic, and in keeping with the restaurant's positioning. I'll conclude by saying that Il Carbonaio is a restaurant that doesn't improvise. It knows how to handle crowded places, maintains high-quality ingredients, and brings to the table meat that speaks for itself. I'll be back and recommend it without hesitation.

26/10/2025: Il Carbonaio 2.0 is a delightful discovery! A welcoming place, with attention to detail. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always available, while the cuisine captivates with well-prepared dishes and quality ingredients. An excellent balance between tradition and modernity, both in flavor and presentation. Fast and impeccable service. A must try! Superb pizza!

19/10/2025: We stayed at this hotel for two weeks, and what can I say? "Everything was perfect." We thank Cosimo, Valentina, and the entire staff for their professionalism and courtesy. Thanks to chef Mimmo, who pampered us with his dishes. A special thanks to maître d', Angelo, who attentively attended to our needs with great professionalism, making us feel at ease. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and linens were changed daily. We hope to see you again soon for another stay.

03/09/2025: Everything was perfect. It's hard for me to find a flaw in the hotel. We've been coming here for six years, and every year it's simply welcoming. Cosimo and Valentina are fantastic. Always available and ready to solve any problem, should we have any. We can't forget Sabino, one of their great collaborators. The Rinelli Hotel has two refined restaurants, one more beautiful than the other, with "land and sea" menus that change daily. It also has several B&B apartments, built with a very beautiful architectural style, overlooking the beach promenade. We will definitely be back. Thank you for being here.

12/06/2025: Fantastica scoperta. Abbiamo preso 3 diverse.. tutte buonissime . Ingredienti di prima qualità. Peccato non si trova da altre parti.

06/06/2025: Proprietaria spumeggiante, simpatica e professionale, locale pulito e prodotti di ottima qualitá. Fortemente consigliato.

06/12/2025: Trying to continue a result achieved in the past in the most flawed way possible. Regardless of the size of the dishes, which really should be part of a tasting menu, the even more serious issue is their quality. Meat ordered rare arrived well overdone. Pasta bordering on undercooked. But above all, more than half the table suffered from nausea and intestinal problems from the night before until the next day. The staff is also kind, but after an experience like that, the professionalism and elegance with which they serve the table becomes absolutely ridiculous in this case.

30/11/2025: Tasting portions = close to zero, spaghetti with sea urchin practically raw, rare meat overcooked, doubts about the freshness of the mini crudo (almost the entire table felt sick and nauseous) … = I strongly advise against it!

14/10/2025: The menu and dishes are not up to par with the restaurant. Otherwise, the food is top notch.

11/10/2025: Fantastic location. Everything was perfect. Perfect food. I would have given it 5 stars. I'm only giving it 4 because I was served a first course with plain shrimp, not blue shrimp as described on the menu. It should be noted that this is a dish we eat often and are well known for. When we mentioned this to the waiter, he told us he would ask the kitchen. Unfortunately, since we couldn't argue with what he said, we were told that the chef told him it was still blue shrimp, but only 2/3 of the variety. I repeat, they were plain cocktail shrimp. It's a shame they were missing both. Highly recommended, though.

28/09/2025: A charming place, a seaside restaurant, extremely elegant and high-end. We had two appetizers, two main courses, and a shared dessert, plus two glasses of wine. The two appetizers we chose were gurnard carpaccio with citrus extract and roasted mackerel with zucchini scapece. The two main courses were stuffed squid and cardoncelli mushroom "absolute," which is mushrooms in three textures. Finally, a "chamomile meadow." Everything was delicious, everything was undoubtedly prepared with dedication and passion. Everything was beautiful. However, nowadays it's really hard to find places that prioritize the quality of the product, but rather put it on the surface. The dishes we tried were basically "poor"—we're talking zucchini, mackerel, cardoncelli mushrooms; perhaps the most expensive was the cuttlefish. I paid 50 euros for each of these items, which isn't worth the product itself, but rather its preparation and everything that goes into a restaurant of this caliber. But, excuse the cruelty, I don't have to pay for this. I want to pay for the dish, and we're not talking about an expensive dish, because they didn't offer me white truffle on the menu. When I talk about appearance, I'm also talking about the initial show cooking, which was nice, yes, but customer service is another story. The service, if anything, needs improvement: I have the freedom to choose the wine by the glass, and if the sommelier wants to recommend it, he should open the bottle in front of my table, or at least keep it vacuum-packed. And I can accept a mistake like that in average restaurants, but not here, where, I repeat, the bill wasn't so "sweet."

21/09/2025: As always at the Top in Puglia!!!!

09/11/2025: This is my first time eating Churrasca in Taranto. Yesterday I think I ate the best meat of my life🤤. Great place with excellent food 👌🏻

09/11/2025: We went to the churrascaria and it was a wonderful culinary experience. The meat and sides were excellent and plentiful, and the service was impeccable. What can I say... 5 stars!

25/11/2025: Excellent and welcoming staff! Definitely worth a try.

23/11/2025: A bistro that will win you over! A welcoming atmosphere, friendly and smiling staff. The sweet and savory options are delicious, perfect for a relaxing break or a light lunch.

22/10/2025: Excellent bar. Tradition and quality. Welcoming. Excellent pasticciotti.

11/10/2025: Terrible service, they made us get up from the table that was reserved, two girls arrived, removed the reserved one and sat down and didn't say anything, the one with the red hair made a fuss to everyone except them and the things arrived late

08/12/2025: Good morning, yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant with a dear friend of mine for lunch, who took me to Monopoli for the first time. What can I say? As soon as we entered, fate decreed that we were the first to arrive, and thus had that little bit of anxiety about being in full view of everyone. Haha, then, just two seconds later, not only did we smell the delicious food, but we also immediately sensed the special aroma of a kind welcome that made us feel instantly at home. And, above all, seeing the PEACE of mind that permeates the heart of the place and all the people who work there, always with a genuine smile on their faces, filled my heart from the very first moment. Politeness? Simply extraordinary, needless to say. Always attentive to everything, but always with a smile. A friendliness that I would describe as 110%. I savored the delicious dishes, those spectacular baked potatoes, that seafood platter. I'm also sorry I was full, otherwise I would have taken it home if I could, haha, 🥹🥹 but anyway, we chatted, and we kept repeating: "What a beautiful place, what lovely people, how delicious this pasta is, look how lovely the waiters are to each other, seeing them smile at their work is not a given, given that some people work almost reluctantly these days, etc." Because having GOOD-hearted people around you really improves your mood. I felt free of mind, for the first time in a while: I even told my friend, it almost felt like a burden had been lifted from me. Maybe it's the wonderful humanity of those who work there, the atmosphere, the EXTRAORDINARY food, the good company, or the wonderful light that envelops the place... but I hope to return countless times. Kindness, politeness, goodness of heart, believing in what you do, respect for yourself and then for those around you, and above all, a HUGE SMILE will always be the best ways to face life. Having a bad day is human and absolutely understandable; probably, even if I had found a waiter/waitress at a less positive time, I would still have felt the same special energy. - Kind regards, Giulia and Andrea🫶🏼
