I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

26/12/2025: Really nice place and very friendly staff. We shared a platter of cured meats between four of us (all delicious), then we moved on to the first course: the orecchiette with turnip tops were delicious! The dishes were really generous. Highly recommended.

12/12/2025: Lunch for two on December 8th. I found this place and trusted the reviews as well as the photos, which were truly inviting. A very quaint trattoria, friendly staff, and excellent food. I would definitely return to try other dishes. There are several specials of the day off the menu (I would perhaps suggest a digital menu with a dynamic QR code for the more tech-savvy). Prices are absolutely average. I recommend it.

03/01/2026: Excellent pizza, fast, impeccable, professional service, nice location, fair price

27/12/2025: I'm eating a fabulous pizza with good toppings in a nice environment and with very polite staff....to return

16/11/2025: WELCOMING...AND FEELS LIKE HOME...

06/10/2025: Lovely Salento Masseria. Restaurant on site (with reservations). Would stay again.

18/01/2026: I was truly satisfied with this amazing Sunday lunch! I loved everything, from the hot appetizer to the fresh red prawns from Gallipoli, from the very special first courses to the dessert. Highly recommended.

02/01/2026: Water and bread were served immediately. Then they spent over half an hour trying to order food. Eventually, we gave up.

03/01/2026: The magic ingredients: Good food, tranquility, and kindness!!! ...Da Bruna is a restaurant I've been frequenting for years, and every time I find the same authentic atmosphere. The cuisine is based on genuine products, and you can clearly sense the love for good food and things done well. The restaurant is family-run, and this is immediately apparent: the kindness of the owners is one of its strengths. The pizza is delicious, with top-quality ingredients, as are the appetizers, first courses, and second courses, all carefully prepared and flavorful...I've tried them all now. A special mention goes to Rossana, who embodies kindness personified and is also an excellent cook, capable of putting passion and skill into every dish. A place where I can relax and the quality is consistent over time.

07/12/2025: Excellent pizza, friendly and welcoming staff

30/12/2025: Excellent food in a cozy and welcoming environment

27/12/2025: Just steps from Lucera Cathedral, in a historic building with cross vaults, lies Cortiletto. The owner, passionately reciting the menu, offers a cozy atmosphere and excellent, attentive, and thoughtful service. Excellent cuisine, highly recommended.

19/01/2026: A top Sunday lunch in historic Ceglie. What can I say? Extremely friendly staff, a warm and helpful owner, and food to die for. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience traditional cuisine in Ceglie. I'd love to go back!!!

13/01/2026: Friendly and polite staff, typical local location, small but welcoming... excellent food... recommended!!

18/12/2025: Definitely not recommended. I'll share my experience. At dinner with friends, the waiter dropped the dirty plates and silverware, dropping them down my back and landing between my shoulders and the back of the chair where my jacket was resting. The poor guy, to whom I owe my deepest sympathy, is mortified and unable to find words to express his despair. He reports the incident to the owners, offers to pay for my laundry, and I undress and hand over my sweater and jacket for a laundering attempt, keeping only my (stained) shirt out of modesty and respect for the other diners. At the end of the evening, after I'd duly paid my bill, the owner returned my jacket (which, being waterproof, had been washed as best as possible, but still had small stains) and offered to take my sweater to the dry cleaners. I pointed out that I don't live in that town, and that it would be expensive and tiring to drive back to my hometown, 20 kilometers away, only to return a few days later to pick up the sweater. So I took the sweater back and asked to be reimbursed for the laundry costs only. With a disarming smile, she replied that, next time, they'd certainly reimburse me for the laundry costs, and that I'd return after I'd washed and cleaned everything. There won't be a next time, obviously. I certainly didn't expect them to deduct my fee after presenting me with a bill of €700 (there were 14 of us, so €50 each) and perhaps apologize for the involuntary accident; that would have been a nice gesture. We, being decent people, paid the requested €700, without any discounts. But what makes the difference between professional and disrespectful behavior is that they didn't even dream of not only apologizing, but of simply refunding €17 (SEVENTEEN EUROS), that is, the cost of a luxury laundry for a jacket and a sweater! In return, they charge, as mentioned, €50 for appetizers and a main course of seafood for four people (fresh), cavatelli with seafood and shrimp (frozen), a forkful of assassina, drinks, and dessert. Never again.

17/12/2025: Excellent food, attentive and knowledgeable staff

06/01/2026: Delicious traditional food, especially the cicr e tria. Impeccable service, friendly and helpful staff.

04/01/2026: I had a truly wonderful time at this restaurant located on the pedestrian street in Lecce's city center. I had spotted the pistachio-crusted salmon on the menu, and it proved to be an excellent choice. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The tiramisu was simple yet delicious. I also tried the walnut liqueur, a local specialty, which is definitely worth trying. I highly recommend it.

15/10/2025: Beautiful, very comfortable beach with sunbeds and armchairs

11/10/2025: Excellent food, on the sea and with a view of the old town, everyone very kind, to return

17/01/2026: Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to expectations. The service was unprofessional, and the staff didn't seem to be at ease; they were clearly busy and disinterested. As for the food, the dishes were disappointing, and the mussels in particular were rubbery and flavorless, which completely ruined the experience. What a shame!

07/01/2026: I love everything about this restaurant, and whenever I pass through Castro, I can't help but stop in. In winter, the experience is even more enjoyable, because there are fewer people and the staff, always kind and welcoming, enjoys the more relaxed pace. The two sisters who own it are perfect hosts and make their guests feel at home. We last stopped by between New Year's Eve and Epiphany and enjoyed risotto, seafood spaghetti, and burnt wheat macaroni. This was followed by a generous grilled fish platter, excellently cooked and carefully selected, and a delicious and flavorful mussel and clam stew. We finished with fragrant citrus sorbets. Needless to say, the view from the terrace, directly overlooking the marina, is enchanting!

21/11/2025: Fine, exquisite food, unique atmosphere

27/10/2025: A simple restaurant with very helpful and friendly staff, a good wine selection, and Michelin-starred first courses. Piero is very kind and came over to thank us personally at the end of the service. Very much appreciated. The atmosphere is a bit too stuffy for my taste.

29/12/2025: Very nice and welcoming place, especially quiet. The menu offers a wide selection, from appetizers to desserts. The pizzas are also excellent. Always very fresh ingredients. The staff is always very friendly. They handle everything with quick and attentive service. The prices are also excellent.

24/12/2025: Welcoming place, friendly and attentive staff, excellent food... it wasn't the first time I've been there and it certainly won't be the last👍🏻

23/09/2025: I went there for lunch the last weekend of August with my partner, a beautiful and welcoming location, we decided to have lunch by ordering an appetizer from the seafood house which included three dishes in one course and then a linguine with scampi or rather scampi with a bottle of water and a glass of wine, all for the modest sum of 150 euros. The appetizer was mediocre and easily found in any restaurant here in Bari for a price that would not have exceeded even half of what we paid. The first course was an excellent linguine with sauce but there was barely any smell of scampi, a shame because the place is very beautiful and with an adequate price on the menu it could have done much better.

21/09/2025: Great beach and excellent restaurant with fresh fish.

03/01/2026: Everything was amazing, the gluten-free carbonara was a 10/10! And the service was excellent.

29/12/2025: Wonderful; fantastic 😋. We were stuffed. Four courses of the very best – the best restaurant we've discovered in Intra. Thank you so much 😊 (With four courses, the portions must be a bit small 😂)
