I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

03/01/2026: I went to Il Ritrovo degli Ostinati restaurant and had a truly wonderful experience. The place is truly enchanting, it feels like a cave: it's worth going just to see it. I ate typical Apulian dishes, such as bombette, sausage, and straccetti, all very tasty and well-prepared. The dessert was excellent, perfect to end the dinner. Professional, kind, and attentive service. Good value for money. Highly recommended. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

03/01/2026: We were visiting Bari during the Christmas holidays, and the Caffè Portineria offered us a peaceful corner where we could read, enjoy herbal teas, and enjoy a quick, high-quality snack. We spent a few hours in a pleasant, warm, and welcoming atmosphere. The atmosphere is full of references to musicians and artists that made us feel at home. Paola was wonderful and attentive, welcoming me and my family with great kindness and helpfulness. Thank you ☺️

31/12/2025: You're sick, you're hundreds of miles from home, you've checked out, and you have to wait until the afternoon to catch the train. It's cold in Bari on December 31st, but suddenly a yellow window appears in front of you. You walk in and immediately realize it's a refuge. Welcoming, warm, human. For three days, nothing you eat seems to want to stay inside you, and when, after a herbal tea, you think the only thing you want is a small plate of plain rice, you let it slip to the counter...and there it is! The best plate of plain rice you've ever eaten, your stomach and your heart thank you. If I ever get back to Bari, I already know where I'll go to be pampered, just like at home, especially since there would have been a few tempting, heartfelt dishes to try... Thank you, and let's hope a thousand concierges spring up in every neighborhood 😉

12/12/2025: We ended up here by accident, and the place turned out to be a total hit 🫶 The service was friendly and very nice 👍 the food was delicious 👌 I recommend it, we will definitely come back ✌️

07/12/2025: I returned to this fantastic place and, once again, I was thrilled. The fish is incredibly fresh, especially the raw fish, impeccably presented, and of a quality hard to find elsewhere. Each dish truly showcases the flavor of the sea. A special thanks to Giovanni, whose professionalism and kindness make the experience even more enjoyable. The service is impeccable: attentive, fast, and always with a smile. A place definitely worth trying, and I can't wait to return! Highly recommended.

07/12/2025: My husband and I had dinner on December 6th at Al bel paese: what can I say? A very professional welcome, knowledgeable and attentive staff. The wine cellar is extensive and original, and chef Vito (the restaurant's owner) created wonderful dishes, both for the palate and the eye. We'll definitely be back!!

14/12/2025: Great place with amazing pizza! We really enjoyed our visit. The pizza was delicious fresh ingredients, perfect dough, and great flavor. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Everything came out quickly, and you can tell they really care about the quality of their food. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to and recommend to friends.

01/11/2025: Great place, delicious pizza, exceptional service and location. Very affordable prices.

04/10/2025: Incredibly friendly and service-oriented staff, very keen to ensure we had a good experience. The food was very good, but on the more expensive side and (compared to other restaurants in the area) small portions. However, the taste was incredible, and outweighed the quantity of food.

18/09/2025: Excellent dinner! The veal ribs melted in your mouth, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The creamy scampi casseroles were simply extraordinary: delicate, creamy, unforgettable. The staff were extremely kind and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. A restaurant that leaves you smiling. Thank you so much!

22/01/2026: Perfect, the food is divine, the staff is very professional.

08/01/2026: We had a wonderful evening eating quality seafood. Excellent service with super-efficient waiters.

18/10/2025: I booked with The Fork a full 8 days in advance, arrived right on time after traveling 25 km, but was told they had to cancel the reservation because the restaurant was full and that if I wanted I could wait for a table to become available!!! Nothing like this has ever happened in all these years! "Didn't you see the email?".... I checked and in fact they had even had the forethought to notify me AT 8:14 PM, when I was already on my way. Shamelessly mocking a customer in this way (did you assign my table to some "friend"? And why did you only realize the restaurant was full 45 minutes before the reservation and not in the last 8 days?) just because you don't have the skills to properly manage a public place, not feeling the slightest need to apologize for the mix-up or try to fix it in any way, and being rude to potential customers who will obviously give bad reviews and speak even worse of your poor management is definitely not a good calling card. But that's okay, there's no need to be considerate of those who were so eager to spend a couple of hours at your place in peace with friends, convinced they'd eat well and trusting the many positive reviews of those who weren't unfortunate enough to find it "full" despite having made a reservation ages ago.

20/08/2025: A well-designed place where everything is top-notch and the staff is very friendly! The service is excellent and fast, and its location is very strategic, right in the town square and center! Five stars might seem like an understatement! Highly recommended!

17/01/2026: Typical dishes, but also sophisticated ones. The open kitchen is very attractive.

06/01/2026: An exceptional dining experience! So much so- we actually went back a second time (during a 5 day stay in the area). The flavors and options were just wonderful and the team working there is very friendly and professional. We highly recommend this restaurant!

30/12/2025: Excellent dishes, sensational products, service and hospitality to remember.

23/12/2025: Great experience. I recommend it to everyone. We'll be back again ✌️
