I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

04/09/2025: We enjoyed our first paposcia here: prawns, glasswort and dried tomatoes...a delight!!!

24/08/2025: I've never had a business owner refuse to seat me, even though we'd said we'd wait to get a seat because there wasn't enough room. A table was about to become available, and the very customers who were supposed to give up their seats were shocked by the owner's response. Rude to the max, arrogant and presumptuous. There were eight of us; not only did they lose a potentially inviting table, but there was no valid reason why we shouldn't be seated.

31/08/2025: The pizza and food are forgettable. The staff is courteous and polite, but unprofessional.

16/08/2025: Very nice location, but the first courses, both spaghetti with clams and calamarata, were very bland, almost tasteless.

09/09/2025: Delicious food and very friendly service

29/08/2025: Spending an hour eating a pizza 🍕 and it's expensive too.

04/09/2025: Very nice location in the center. Excellent food, not touristy, reasonably priced. Excellent service. Only negative: the rice, potato, and mussel balls had a dairy product, probably mozzarella, even though it wasn't listed on the menu. If I had been asked between courses or at the end of the meal if everything was okay, I would have said so constructively. I'm still giving it five stars because the place deserves it, and I'm sure they'll make the necessary changes to the menu.

01/09/2025: A cozy and familiar atmosphere, we asked for a dish off the menu and were satisfied, I highly recommend it.

03/08/2025: Siamo stati a Elda per un pranzo in Foresta Umbra, esperienza meravigliosa! Cucina creativa con prodotti di qualità. Il servizio elegante e sempre con il sorriso. Conto nella media! Staff davvero competente, buona la carta dei vini, molti dei quali di produzione propria.

03/08/2025: Pranzo di alto livello sia per i piatti ricercati e molto buoni, sia per l’attenzione e la gentilezza del cameriere che ci ha servito. Mangiare all’esterno del ristorante ti riconnette con la natura. Prezzi giusti per il tipo di cucina che viene proposta. Raffaele

29/08/2025: In the heart of Galatina's beautiful historic center, a quiet and welcoming pub. Perfect service, excellent pucce. Super-fair prices, almost touching for those of us who live in the north. A regular stop on our Galatina vacations!

23/08/2025: Very good puccia, worthy of the name

29/08/2025: A wide selection of excellent options for creating your own sandwich with excellent land and sea products, good wine and great music and atmosphere.

27/08/2025: Well-designed restaurant, great atmosphere! Deplorable table service, with waiters snorting every two minutes! Lack of coordination between the kitchen, orders, and timing. If there are 12 of you, some eat first, others fast, or the lucky one eats alone after everyone else has finished. Prices are out of line.

01/09/2025: Excellent, plentiful, and high-quality first courses. The staff is friendly, kind, and polite. We'll be back.

23/08/2025: Excellent food, friendly and professional service. We'll be back.

06/01/2025: Outstanding cocktail bar and small plates restaurant with a charming atmosphere. Owners Lucca and his wife prepare excellent cocktails with top end ingredients. Good selection of wines also available.Nice background music makes Cardinal a can’t miss option. Very reasonable prices as well. Highly recommended.

03/01/2025: Very elegant and quiet environment, refined and sophisticated dishes where chef Luca expresses all his creativity and experience! Kind and courteous service with Irene who welcomes you immediately and makes you feel at home! Unique place where you can enjoy aperitifs different from the usual, where you can drink well at the right price! Highly recommended

25/07/2025: I'm not talking about the pizza, but I'm talking about something where I'm increasingly noticing a lack of professionalism, the service...slow, slow, and also lacking in experience and professionalism, including the organization. We ordered fried food and then the pizzas arrived, all while asking three times for the drinks we ordered. Lastly, to keep things short, we asked for the bitters and were given this answer: "I don't know, we have so many, I don't remember." It's shocking, not only did they not even call anyone to take the order, but we had to get up from the table to go and choose the alcoholic drinks ourselves.

24/07/2025: We ate there twice to try their pizzas! We weren't disappointed at all. Thin crust, well-topped pizzas. They were very good! The service was pretty fast.

27/08/2025: Very good food, it's a shame we had to wait about an hour for the dishes.

26/08/2025: In the historic center of Martano, you'll find this splendid little restaurant with a romantic outdoor seating area on a side street beneath a sky of fairy lights. Extensive menu of meat and seafood Incredible appetizers (applause for the octopus alla pignata), good wine, and a very relaxing atmosphere. Energizing and youthful service. One small point: I'd add a fish option to the seafood grill (the one served included swordfish, cuttlefish, and grilled prawns). Definitely a restaurant worth trying for anyone visiting Martano.

17/08/2025: A beautiful location surrounded by nature, but unfortunately we were disappointed with the restaurant. For the prices, we expected better quality... everything was good, but not particularly good. The waiter who served us (the guy in his 30s) wasn't friendly and didn't know how to deal with customers; he was cold and inhospitable, and above all, he was a bit confused about what he was supposed to do/clear the table. Vito, on the other hand, was very kind and friendly (he knows how to treat a customer), but when he wasn't serving us, there was confusion. In my opinion, "La Strada" isn't worth it. We tried it out of curiosity, but we won't be returning.

16/08/2025: Within the Tenute Albano estate, the only dining option is the Don Carmelo restaurant. This might initially seem limited, but it turns out to be a pleasant surprise. The quality is truly high, as is evident in the dishes: generous and rich platters, fresh and carefully selected ingredients, generous portions, and a wide variety of pasta, meat, fish, and appetizers. During our evening, two live singers performed Albano and Romina's songs with great talent, making the atmosphere even more engaging and enjoyable. This added value made the dinner special. The prices are quite high, but in line with the quality and overall experience the restaurant offers. Definitely recommended for those staying at the estate and looking to enjoy a refined dinner in a charming setting.

08/09/2025: Ideally located campsite, quiet, shaded, with direct access to the beach, perfectly clean restrooms, and a warm and friendly welcome, especially when we had a breakdown with our caravan. A big thank you to the owner and his son-in-law for their patience and kindness in helping us find troubleshooting solutions 👏👏👏

07/09/2025: We stayed at the campsite for a week and really enjoyed it. There's a small shop, toilets, sinks, and showers (very clean). Dogs are allowed, and there are also two cute campsite cats. The beach is about a three-minute walk away, where you can rent loungers or walk further to the free beach. There's also a beach bar and restaurants. If you want to visit Peschici, you can call a taxi through reception. We didn't miss anything; we would come back.

30/08/2025: I had the pleasure of dining at L'Aura restaurant in Cocumola and was truly impressed by every aspect of the experience. The atmosphere is extremely relaxing and welcoming, perfect for a quiet evening with friends. The staff demonstrates impeccable professionalism, always attentive and courteous without ever being intrusive. A great strength of the restaurant is the excellent quality of the ingredients used: extremely fresh and authentic ingredients that emerge simply yet with great flavor in every dish. The cleanliness of the premises is also impeccable, a factor that helps make guests feel completely at ease. Considering the quality offered, the prices are more than fair, offering truly remarkable value. I highly recommend L'Aura to anyone who wants to enjoy local cuisine in a charming and professional setting. An experience worth repeating!

17/08/2025: The fish appetizers were good, the first course was terrible, and the dessert was mediocre. The location was nice.

01/09/2025: We got some takeout pizzas last night and were very pleased! Excellent pizzas and products, as well as the kindness and courtesy of the staff! Thank you!! Highly recommended!!!

18/08/2025: We had a piadina with cooked ham and a small loaf of bread, they were delicious and very filling, I highly recommend trying it if you are staying there.
