I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

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.

16/11/2025: Superb quality, friendly and impeccable service, and an enchanting location: truly a great way to celebrate a special family occasion!

05/11/2025: Come in Famiglia, these three simple words can make my experience in this restaurant clear. Those who occasionally read my reviews know well that I don't like eating in Gallipoli, not because of the amount of money one spends but because of the possible negative experience one might have. Well, today that wasn't the case. I would finally say that I had been passing by the seafront near the cold storage units for many years (once upon a time when the fishing boats arrived with the fish, they arrived right in front of these enormous cold storage units) and every time we passed by this place it was always full (summer period), so we went elsewhere to eat. But today here we are at 7:45 pm, the place is open and there are only diners, the owner and the Metre are there to welcome us, they welcome us with a big smile and here we are with the QR code we order, a chat with the owners and here come our dishes "Rich, abundant, and above all GOOD". I haven't posted any photos of the dishes because they have already been published by other diners, but only the bill, in my opinion. Correct for what we ate. Best regards to the owner, and see you next time.

01/11/2025: The only flaw is that the parking is a bit narrow and the road is not very easy.

18/10/2025: We ate at this restaurant after visiting Castel del Monte. I have to say the food was very good, the wine list was extensive, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the wait time was short. I recommend it if you're in the area.

21/11/2025: A unique venue in an old but beautifully kept setting... elegant... spotlessly clean (including the bathroom)... impeccable service and excellent food... I particularly enjoyed the house appetizer!! Well done!

07/11/2025: Impeccable service from start to finish, with attentive, friendly, and attentive staff, without ever being intrusive. The setting is quaint, with attention to detail, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes the experience even more enjoyable. Every course, from appetizer to dessert, was perfect: quality ingredients, balanced flavors, and meticulous presentation. A truly memorable dinner, both for its flavor and hospitality. Highly recommended.

02/11/2025: Delicious breakfast products that you can eat by the sea

30/10/2025: I can say that I ate the best focaccia of my life! Congratulations!

31/10/2025: Located in a clifftop square in a small coastal town, the seafood was all excellent. The service and atmosphere were also excellent. It's worth a quick stop if you're heading to Lecce or Bari, or a dinner spot during a seaside holiday.

27/08/2025: Osteria di Chichibio is the best restaurant in Polignano. I went in different restaurants including Grotta Palaze who is famous in this city but I end up coming twice in this place. The food is just another level. Come to eat first and thank me later! It’s a must guys 🥂

08/10/2025: The venue is welcoming and elegant. The staff is attentive but not intrusive. The food is quality and reasonably priced. The location is also ideal for events, both indoors and outdoors.

06/10/2025: Very nice and clean location. Professional staff. Gluten-free options available. Fair prices. Excellent table service, although a little slow. I would gladly return.

04/10/2025: Very nice atmosphere and authentic food!

28/09/2025: Excellent local cuisine, kindness and professionalism of all the staff. The location is suggestive

11/10/2025: I'm sorry to leave a negative review. The place is really well-maintained and the staff very kind and helpful. Unfortunately, we found the quality of the ingredients to be very poor. The fish didn't seem very fresh, and we had to send back a seafood dish, and the chicory side dish was clearly frozen. The waiter and manager were, to be honest, really kind throughout the dinner. Unfortunately, we all had stomach aches that night. I hope this helps us improve.

11/10/2025: Service was great, very nice atmosphere. Highly recommend the pasta, very good! But I would not recommend the beef tagliata.

05/11/2025: I recommend this Italian "milk bar" to every tourist. It's an interesting experience. The food is okay. The prices are very good. The atmosphere is great!

04/11/2025: A diner/restaurant where you immediately feel at home as soon as you enter. The owner is exceptional, and the staff is very friendly and polite, always ready to accommodate your requests. The best-stocked canteen in Bari, with numerous options for both first and second courses. If there's something you don't like (a difficult situation), the staff will do their best to prepare other express alternatives not available at the counter. Excellent prices. Recommended.

23/09/2025: Domenico's kindness, the precise, punctual, and flavorful cuisine with the aroma of authentic Puglia. Prices are in keeping with the splendid location with sea views. Thank you, see you soon!

22/09/2025: We were there a week ago and had a wonderful time. The terrace overlooking the sea is priceless, and we enjoyed a breathtaking sunset. The service was attentive. After a selection of appetizers (delicious stuffed mussels, marinated anchovies and mussels, and the classic Apulian bruschetta with cherry tomatoes and burrata), the truly knowledgeable waiter suggested an off-menu dish that we agreed to try: excellent orecchiette with clams, Foresta Umbra clams, and bottarga. Delicious. The price was proportionate to the ingredients, the kitchen's skill, and the location. WELL DONE. Highly recommended.

26/10/2025: I recommend this picturesque Osteria Le Garibaldine. Puglia at every moment, excellent fresh fish, fresh wine and finally homemade Tiramisu. And all of this is dominated by Mrs. Marcela, whom we thank for this experience. Forza Le Garibaldine Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Jiri

13/10/2025: A well-deserved 5 stars for the courtesy, the helpfulness, the clean and welcoming atmosphere, and last but not least, the simply exquisite dishes. An honorable mention for the orecchiette with turnip tops, perfect in every detail! A lunch we'll never forget, and one that, despite the great distance, we hope to repeat soon! Congratulations to the entire staff!!

01/09/2025: Excellent, I recommend the sandwich with the exceptional octopus 🤙

18/08/2025: Amazing food! The habanero balls are pleasingly spicy/hot 🌶️🔥 The fries are very well done, crispy and not overly oily 🍟 But daaamn, the burgers are too sure for 🤤 I had the one (in the picture) with minced & spiced beef, smoked garlicky eggplants, sun-dried tomatoes and a whole burrata 🤯 Sooo creamy 🤤🤍 And it's the _only_ place in Villanova that serves FuzeTea (❤️) instead of EstaTea (😣).

01/10/2025: One of the best restaurants in the province of Lecce. I've known it for many years, and every time I go, it's always a surprise. It's one of the few that satisfies me in every way. Excellent food, excellent service, and a stunning location.

23/09/2025: I really don't like leaving negative reviews. In fact I never do (truly I'm not just saying this) because I know the effect they can have an a business. However I think people should get a glimpse of the restaurant before coming here to spend a ton of money for subpar quality food. How can you be a in a region with an absolute surplus of olive oil and have food this bland at exorbiant prices. I don't think there was a grain of salt on any dish. It's also criminal to call an appetizer red prawns then get 4 pieces of the tail of a prawn that is barely bigger than a finger nail. I would have also rather been spared the "mixed greens" under my octopus as it was just that. Mixed green with nothing on them and majority of the leaves were rotten. Also a lobster pasta dish in which it requires you to crack your own lobster with your hands? Trying to make food into something "artistic" is the downfall of dining. Put something on the late that is worth eating and priced fairly. 45 minutes between starters and mains is a no for me as well. Rest assured this is an honest review....sadly
