I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

02/04/2026: Beautiful location, scenic sea view. But the staff is a bit inattentive and the food is average.

08/03/2026: An enviable location, impeccable service, a wide selection of menu items, and excellent food, from the raw seafood to their fantastic sorbets :) Highly recommended, I'll gladly return very soon!

15/01/2026: Super! Everything about our dinner was perfect: the atmosphere was simple yet welcoming; the service was attentive and professional; the seafood-focused menu was high-quality both in terms of ingredients and preparation. Finally, the dessert was also refined and delicious. The prices were very fair. All in all, a truly enjoyable evening. Congratulations!

15/08/2025: Nice place, efficient and fast staff, good atmosphere... I recommend it

24/02/2026: Excellent place, you eat very well and you spend quite little, the welcome is also very good

12/02/2026: Perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

22/01/2026: No fuss, just great cuisine There are places you don't discover by chance, but they stay with you like a memory of a successful trip. Andrea's Vecchio Frantoio is one of those places where time slows down, your phone ceases to matter, and the food speaks much better than anyone else. If you want to eat truly well, then you have to go to Andrea (for locals), to Vecchio Frantoio for everyone else. Period. Andrea is gruff, fussy, precise: he notices everything. Really everything. But it's precisely thanks to these "adorable" quirks that he cooks divinely. Products that don't pass muster are sent back to the sender without appeal, trial, or the possibility of a plea bargain. Quality first, friendliness... perhaps second. The restaurant is typical of the area: entering is like stepping back several centuries. Here you won't find Nordic design or Instagram-worthy lighting, but a real olive oil mill transformed into a restaurant, where the only modern aspect is the satisfaction you leave with at the end of the meal. At lunchtime, it's mostly frequented by locals (who know where the food is served) and by passing salesmen who, upon entering, wonder why they didn't arrive earlier. It's hard to say which dish is the best, especially since we've never managed to get a wrong order. My wife and I love the house pizza, but between fried fish, first courses, and second courses, we tried hard to find something to criticize. Mission failed. To say we didn't like anything would be a complete lie. We've brought friends to this place, and years later, they still talk about it as one of the absolute highlights of their vacations. Some remember the sea, others... Andrea's cooking. If we added an extra smile to all this, then yes, we could easily call it a Michelin star. But maybe not: that half-smile less is an integral part of the experience, like the service charge or the warm bread. "Andrea and family" are like that, and it would probably be a disaster if they weren't. You don't come here for the sweet talk, the clichés, or the "How are you, everything okay?" repeated every three minutes. You come here for the culinary art, to feel welcomed in its own way, and to leave with your taste buds in awe and a smile (ours) plastered on your face. A round of applause also goes to those who are at the forefront today, the owner: her daughter Valentina and her husband Angelo. On several occasions, I even managed to get a smile out of them. In those moments, I felt like a scientist winning the Nobel Prize in the most complex discipline ever: "the eradication of smiles in a hostile environment." And yes, I did win that Nobel. In conclusion, I can only say one thing: coming to Vecchio Frantoio is an experience, and we always love returning. Even without a Michelin star. Here... the star is already there.

27/12/2025: The food and service are good, but the place is a bit small, but I recommend going!

14/11/2025: Delicious pizza, comfortable place, kind and attentive staff.

22/02/2026: An excellent experience: truly excellent pizza, light dough, and quality ingredients. A special thanks to Simone, professional, attentive, and extremely kind: he made the evening even more enjoyable with his helpfulness and expertise. I will definitely be back.

22/01/2026: A welcoming place, the food is excellent, and the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. A great place to spend an evening with friends.

11/03/2026: Piccinni 28 is a restaurant and pizzeria in the center of Bari that combines Mediterranean cuisine and excellent wood-fired pizza. The restaurant is welcoming and well-maintained, perfect for both a dinner with friends and a quiet evening with your partner.

With an average price of around €20-30, it offers excellent value. ⭐ In short: a reliable and pleasant restaurant where you can eat well in the heart of Bari. Rating: 8.5/10.

08/03/2026: The food and service were pleasant, the only downside was that while we were paying at the cash register, we noticed on the camera monitor near the cash register that a member of staff was smoking a normal cigarette in the kitchen. What a shame!!

23/03/2026: A lovely neighborhood spot with a particularly delicious spaghetti all'assassina. Great hidden gem in Bari

09/03/2026: It's nice, I eat very well, a little tight on the weekend but you know, good things attract. I recommend it.

01/04/2026: Very bad experience... unfortunately, no other restaurant was open because it was out of season, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. We had the legendary appetizer, but the fish wasn't fresh and had no flavor, in fact, it tasted bad. High price for very bad food. I haven't had such bad food in years.

17/02/2026: In the heart of San Foca lies Trattoria Concepita, a restaurant that embodies the authentic soul of the town. The owners, longtime residents and sons of fishermen, proudly carry on a family tradition rooted in the sea, sacrifice, and passion. The management is attentive and genuine, just as it once was. In the kitchen, recipes from the past are rediscovered, prepared with high-quality and, above all, extremely fresh seafood. Each dish reflects the region: authentic, distinct flavors, without unnecessary embellishments. It's simple cuisine, but made with love—and it shows. The welcome is warm, the atmosphere is family-friendly, and the overall experience stands out in the area for its authenticity and care. Sincere compliments for the work they do with passion and consistency: a must-see for those seeking the true flavor of Salento.

16/03/2026: Located in the heart of Bari, this is a must-see destination to enjoy at your leisure. The restaurant is welcoming and distinguished. The menu offers a wide selection of traditional Apulian seafood and meat dishes. The staff and owners are attentive and very friendly. You can choose from a tasting menu or à la carte. Dishes are carefully crafted with careful pairings and contrasts, creating a truly gastronomic experience. Recommended!

15/03/2026: A typical Apulian restaurant with rich, traditional flavors. A trusted source for decades.

06/03/2026: A top-notch restaurant, both for the seafood and for the way the waiters and owner treat you like family. Living in a seaside town in the Marche region, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality-price ratio. I will definitely return.

26/02/2026: I must highlight the restaurant staff. They were very friendly and helpful. I recommend the grilled fish.

10/08/2025: Masseria San Biagio is a place that captivates from the first moment: immersed in the Salento countryside, it offers a genuine and relaxing atmosphere. The property is meticulously maintained, with spaces that reflect local history and tradition, yet equipped with every modern comfort. The staff is simply exceptional: friendly, helpful, and always ready to make every guest feel at home, with a sincere smile and exceptional attention. The location is ideal for those who want to discover both the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, as well as the characteristic villages of the hinterland. An experience that combines nature, culture, and relaxation: it's impossible not to want to return!

10/08/2025: A perfect experience in every way! The property is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The rooms are spacious and equipped with every comfort. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious. The pool is gorgeous and available to guests. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

15/02/2026: A gem in Santeramo, excellent cuisine and super service. Well done!

18/12/2025: A particularly pleasant place, excellent food, top quality, 10-star ambiance, 10-star staff. Congratulations. We ate an antipasto, a lot of food, then the paccheri first course came. The girl who served us asked us if we wanted a second course. We gave up because we were already too full. Again, compliments for everything.
