I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

28/10/2025: Nothing special and nothing good

15/10/2025: Disappointing compared to the reviews and the prices charged. Spaghetti alla vongole, more than al dente, too salty, shriveled shellfish with little flavor. Carpaccio of red shrimp, supposed to be with poppy seeds, just coarse salt and a piece of lemon. No explanation for the antipasti served according to the chef's choice, which were good.

06/09/2025: Great food, friendly service, great service

24/08/2025: Delicious food, interesting waiters. When you visit, ask to explore the inside and upstairs. It's absolutely beautiful for an old castle.

11/09/2025: Good people, good service, good product, and they know how to handle it. From the simple Margherita to the delicious octopus sandwich and the entire extensive menu, you always get something tasty and well-made. It's truly worth it.

05/09/2025: The staff is very friendly and attentive to their guests' needs; the restaurant is very quaint, with outdoor seating where you can dine overlooking the sea. As for the food, just one word: spectacular and masterfully prepared!

07/09/2025: This restaurant was recommended to us by locals, and we were surprised by the wonderful hospitality and delicious food, with very reasonable prices (you wonder how they can survive on this...). The waitress even spoke a little French. We would definitely go back and can 100% recommend this restaurant. Thank you!

29/07/2025: The best restaurant in Salento in my opinion and 11 other people's opinion. Excellent quality of starters and first courses and the raw fish is out of this world.

07/10/2025: My favorite pub in Monopoli... OPEN a few steps from the main square... English pub with excellent sandwiches, hamburgers, delicacies and a vast selection of beers.. clean... welcoming and comfortable... with outdoor tables on a platform, only in the summer.. I celebrated my birthday there and would do it again.

15/09/2025: Good selection of beers and one of the few places to offer Guinness on tap. The spirits drinks list is excellent. Constructive note: The portions of the fried mix and starters could definitely be increased.

08/09/2025: A Sunday lunch to forget... I feel sorry for the waiters, who were very kind, but you can't run a restaurant like this. A terrible experience.

04/09/2025: Excellent pizza and great service. Thanks, Cosimo 😊

23/08/2025: Delicious coffee and sweet snacks. The quintessential Italian café. We've been back many times. Highly recommended.

06/08/2025: best cappuccinos and croissants

22/08/2025: My experience wasn't very positive, and I'm sorry to only give it two stars because the location and the quality of the food are definitely worth much more. That said, there was only one problem...the rush we took in choosing our dishes, especially when we decided to order main courses. We weren't given a choice because the maître d' was already ready to take our order. You can imagine the dessert selection. I'm guessing there was some event that evening, otherwise there's no explanation for the rush...I think we'll be hard pressed to see each other again.

20/08/2025: These are the kind of things that don't happen by chance when visiting the Basilica of San Michele Arcangelo... a heavenly welcome with a smile, an inexplicably half-empty place, and a cuisine that for me (accustomed to embassy receptions) was divine in its balance and presentation. EXCELLENT is an understatement! Thank you so much.

21/10/2025: Best gelato I've eaten in Italy. Yes, really.

18/09/2025: Lovely little place and gorgeous ice cream, well worth a pit stop whilst walking around.

05/10/2025: Buonissimo e personale cordiale. Cornetti e dolci buonissimi.

11/05/2025: Very welcoming place, friendly staff and super food. Recommended!

05/10/2025: Today I celebrated my son's confirmation, Lello was always impeccable, a round of applause for the chefs and waiters

10/09/2025: The best ever, the food is divine.

31/08/2025: Very bad service they always talk every time I come

23/08/2025: We stopped by chance because it was pouring with rain and we were looking for a place to have lunch. The restaurant had reopened that day from vacation. The food was divine!! The staff was friendly and helpful, and, realizing we were somewhere else entirely, they stopped to chat with us. An absolutely delightful lunch!! Stop by if you're passing by.

09/09/2025: Perfect location and original and very fresh dishes!!

05/09/2025: We ate dinner in a magnificent, traffic-free square, and that alone would probably be worth the 5-star rating. But we must add that we ate truly deliciously. Special mention goes to the almond and fig spumone at the end of the meal, as well as the vegetable appetizer. Thanks especially to the ladies at the service: truly kind and cheerful. A true pleasure to dine here (even for our children).
