I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Puglia

06/08/2024: I don't usually review places to speak badly of them, I prefer not to go back again, but enough is enough. Let's start with the few positive things: welcoming place with a small play area with children (main reason for the choice), good quality raw materials and probably of local origin. More... nothingness. The preparation of the dishes is elementary with obvious combinations and no innovation, very repetitive (cabbage, cauliflower, black cabbage) The dishes are plated without care, the second courses served without side dishes cry out to the solitude of their empty plate. But let's go in order. Starter (table top) consisting of: 1, I mean 1 piece for each of the proposals...1 dumpling, 3 gr. of cod, 1 cm of filleted fish, a cup with liquid that looks (and tastes) like water for washing floors and so on. All at the modest cost of €12. Bowl of taralli and olives to be paid separately at €3 each. First courses: ravioli with cauliflower cream, good flavour, 4 cross ravioli, cost €12 (price indicated on the menu, but compared to the truly exorbitant quantity); linguine scampi and lime...only linguine and lime received...the scampi are so small that if you want you can eat them with the whole shell or leave them...and luckily we are in Bari where there is no shortage of fish and the costs are reasonable, if if we had been in Milan they would have put a photo of the scampi; Orecchiette with donkey ragout and black cabbage, tasty but nothing more. Second courses: beef in a taralli crust, or a cutlet worth €12; octopus, cauliflower and pumpkin, actually cuttlefish cut into pieces with the usual dominant vegetable (they were probably on offer at Lidl). Desserts: quite good, apart from the tiramisu where the ingredients were completely unrelated to each other, rightly served in a cappuccino cup because it could be drunk but not eaten. Let's now move on to the sore points. THE BILL. For what was ordered, we didn't think we could pay such an amount, but that's what it is. Perhaps we would have spent less in a starred restaurant. Absurd to charge 13 covers for 7 adults and 6 children who haven't even eaten. Absurd to charge €8 for a beer. Even worse is having to pay €3 separately for the bread. The clever move of asking if we would like a digestive, amaro, whisky... and then finding on the bill that the price of what was ordered was just €9 per glass. But the real icing on the cake was the arrogance with which we were treated, when we pointed out to the chef/owner that the relationship between their gastronomic offer and the price was absolutely unacceptable. We also went back to get the receipt which had not been delivered immediately and with great surprise we also noticed that they had applied a discount of €16... left on the card but not actually used. In the end we left with a bitter taste in our mouths and the clear feeling that catering is an art for the few... very far from this place. To never again!!!

26/05/2024: Excellent quality food. Compliments to the Chef and Staff. 🔝

21/07/2024: Nice place. Interesting decor and good food.

19/07/2024: Pizza 🍕 inconsistent, like a wafer. Patched service, with frequent errors. Disproportionate prices.

17/08/2024: Positive experience lived on 14 August 2024, although the restaurant was full, it was air conditioned, friendly staff and the owner were always available for customers and very active on the courses, we ate like God, and above all we didn't wait long for the courses, I recommend it absolutely. I advise you to book to be sure.

16/08/2024: We have been for dinner several times and have always had positive feedback. Kind, friendly, professional and very importantly: very good dishes with generous portions. Menu that varies daily based on availability, available for special requests and open to menu variations to indulge and satisfy every palate. We also brought our dogs (2 adult French Bulldogs and a puppy) and we didn't have any problems. They are also welcoming towards dogs but I would advise you to call and ask if there is the possibility of bringing them so that they can better manage the spaces to guarantee serenity and quality for everyone 😉. We will definitely be back.

06/08/2024: Super good place for dinner. With a super inviting terrace and very pleasant waiters

04/08/2024: Lovely place and the waitresses were very positive. It is located in the main pedestrian area of Alberobello. They served delicious food typical of that wonderful corner of the Italian Apulia region. I had a dish of the traditional pasta (orecchiette, that's its name) with veggies and anchoas. I also had octopus. The price was also good, compared with service and quality. Maybe the tables were so close to each other, but it was nice to have dinner outside. I'll recommend it!

11/08/2024: Beautiful discovery. Excellent pizza, appetizers with fried dumplings and seafood were spot on. Very good second courses and desserts. Highly recommended!

07/07/2024: Ristorante trovato grazie al sito e confermo tutte le ottime recensioni ottima cucina casareccia tutto veramente buono ad un prezzo davvero eccezionale orecchiette top e selezione di carni davvero ottime

07/07/2024: Location tipica dei paesi pugliesi, specialmente se si cena all'aperto in una piccola piazzetta. Abbiamo preso un tagliere seguita da della carne cucinata sulla brace, tutto ottimo, prezzo davvero competitivo. Consigliato.

18/07/2024: Small pub on the outskirts of Bari Vecchia which offers an excellent choice of beers from independent breweries and piadine. I wanted a burger so I chose the only one available on the menu made with mushrooms, semi-dry cherry tomatoes, pesto and baked potatoes on the side accompanied by a "Lamortesua" IPA. I was already familiar with the beer and the sandwich was truly exceptional! Super recommended

10/07/2024: Nice local pub with local beers on tap🍻👍

01/09/2024: The focaccia with the various hard condiments is super good

06/08/2024: Don't expect a starred restaurant, but a delicious focacceria with a kind and friendly manager who will be able to advise you well. We had a tomato, mozzarella and basil focaccia which was delicious. Under the canopy, in the shade, with the air of the fans and the company of a beautiful kitten, we had lunch, breaking up a long journey in a very pleasant way. It really deserves it.

11/05/2024: Very particular but welcoming and quality place
