I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

22/02/2026: Unfortunately there is no "Vista" in February, but the pizza was perfect, as was the service.

15/02/2026: Beautiful atmosphere, especially on the lower level in the cave. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and they were always ready to help with any questions. The food was simply delicious. It was the best place I've been to in three days in Ostuni. Absolutely top-notch.

06/03/2026: Good atmosphere, excellent coffee, pleasant music, polite service.

29/12/2025: A very charming bistro, located on the corner in a truly pleasant spot. The outdoor seating is perfect for an aperitivo with friends, especially on nice days. Quick service and reasonable prices: a simple but perfect stop for a relaxing moment.

05/10/2025: Excellent value for money. Very pleasant service.

30/09/2025: A truly successful evening! The octopus Salentina is a poem. The bread salad with burrata is just as delicious. The coppacallo with onions in primitivo sauce is a real highlight.

10/03/2026: Unfortunately, it was a bad experience. The location is truly beautiful, but the food disappointed us: dishes were served cold and of average quality. The price was definitely too high for what we ordered. A real shame, because the place deserves better.

25/02/2026: Excellent spot for pranzo in Ostuni!

10/03/2026: The atmosphere is sad and gloomy. The food is pleasant, but the service leaves a little to be desired. There are worse things to be seen.

18/02/2026: A pleasant discovery in the Galatone countryside: a farmhouse immersed in nature and silence, tucked away and fortunately far from the Salento nightlife. The culinary offerings are excellent, ranging from typical dishes to simple, traditional fare. Nothing particularly elaborate, but everything is good and substantial. The bill is reasonable (€30/person). The service is a delight 😉. Would I return? Yes.

14/12/2025: Excellent Greek food and so much kindness. Congratulations 🇬🇷

07/11/2025: Update: It just keeps getting better. A truly wonderful surprise, truly Greek. Compliments also to the owner, very kind and knowledgeable. Excellent value for money.

04/01/2026: This Buon Ricordo restaurant offers exceptional quality. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing. Fresh, high-quality ingredients made the Buon Ricordo menu a wonderful experience! Recommended.

01/01/2026: The "Il Poeta Contadino" restaurant is a true institution, established for years and constantly reinventing itself without ever losing its distinctive authenticity. Nestled in the unique and evocative setting of Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it welcomes guests to a landscape that alone is worth the trip. The cuisine is a perfect balance between Apulian tradition and contemporary creativity: dishes crafted with attention to detail, reinterpreting local ingredients with elegance and originality, offering an intense and memorable gastronomic experience. Each course tells a story, each flavor speaks of Puglia and the passion of those who work behind the scenes. Completing the experience is an extraordinary wine list, selected with expertise and sensitivity, repeatedly praised by Wine Spectator. Research is evident, as is the desire to surprise guests with extraordinary wines. Hospitality is another of the restaurant's strengths: Leonardo Marco and his daughters Medea and Madia know how to combine professionalism, courtesy, and human warmth, making every guest feel at the center of attention. Their expertise and smiles make your stay even more enjoyable. In short, Poeta Contadino is more than just a restaurant, but a journey through the flavors, traditions, and authentic soul of Puglia. Unmissable.

14/09/2025: We arrived in Puglia yesterday and were hungry. Restaurants here naturally open later than in Germany. Calogero opens as early as 7:00 PM, and the reviews were very good. Absolutely right. We can recommend the restaurant without reservation. If you're looking for a sea view, you've obviously come to the wrong place. But the food is excellent. We had Scottish beef tagliata, grilled and fried vegetables, a pizza, wine, water, a sorbet, and espressos. All of the finest quality. The service was extremely attentive and friendly. Of course, there was also water for our dog. We will definitely visit the restaurant again. Many thanks to the whole team. Continued success. Greetings, Max We arrived in Puglia yesterday and are famous. The restaurants here are naturally the later ones than in Germany. Calogero apre all 7:00 pm and the reviews are mostly positive. Assolutamente giusto. Consigliamo il ristorante during the prenotation. Se cercate una vista mare, avete ovviamente sbagliato posto. My phone is excellent. Abbiamo preso tagliata di manzo scozzese, verdure grigliate e fritte, una pizza, vino, aqua, a sorbetto e caffè espresso. All in all, high quality. The service is extremely attentive and cordial. Naturally, Hanno Persino fornito water for the nostro cane. Torneremo secured at the restaurant. Grazie di hearte a tutto il team. Vi auguriamo and successo duraturo. Cordiali saluti, Max

01/09/2025: I spent a delightful evening with friends at this restaurant. The food was excellent, and above all, we were treated very courteously, attentively, and pleasantly by the tall, black-haired waiter.

12/02/2026: The staff were very welcoming and courteous. The entire property displays great care and attention to detail. The suite with a pool is simply stunning, as well as very quaint. Even though it wasn't high season, our stay was still very pleasant, and the property is in top form. Plus, it boasts an excellent sea view. Definitely not to be missed if you're near Otranto.

09/01/2026: We stayed at this property for three nights. Upon check-in, we received a warm welcome that gave us hope. The masseria immediately struck us as beautiful and elegant. We booked two nights in a superior room, on two levels. The third night was in a suite with a small indoor pool. Nothing to complain about the interior decor and layout of the room, which is in typical Salento masseria style. Perhaps a little impractical, but nevertheless refined and tasteful. Problems arose after a few minutes... There was only one convector heater, which blew out lukewarm air and struggled to heat the entire room (the convector heater upstairs wasn't working). The temperature outside was close to freezing. There was no dehumidifier. The room was extremely cold, and the humidity inside was almost unbearable, so much so that water was dripping from the walls and the sheets were wet, as was the mattress. We reported the problem to the owner, who replied that it wasn't her fault if it was cold, and even if she'd given us extra sheets, they would still have been damp. She blamed the particularly cold time of year, not a clearly and grossly inadequate heating and dehumidification system. We didn't sleep a wink that night, and I felt very sick. I mentioned all this again the next morning to the owner, who downplayed the whole thing, saying it had never been this cold in Salento. She then dismissed me somewhat bluntly and resolved the problem her way, simply giving me an extra blanket. The second night, despite having paid for the room, we even went to sleep at a friend's house to avoid another sleepless night, especially considering the hotel's practically zero willingness to resolve our issue. To avoid completely wasting our money, we still enjoyed breakfast, which we have nothing to complain about because it was excellent. The third night, we moved to the Monaci suite, hoping the situation would improve. A stunning and beautiful suite with a wall-mounted split heating system that's significantly more efficient and independently controllable... although the walls were still dripping with water, and the floor was riddled with water. The bathroom didn't even have an opening window or ventilation system, and after a shower, all the humidity remained on the walls, clothes, and floor, even though we'd turned on the dehumidifier. At least we were able to sleep, because it was definitely warmer. But I don't think a property with such humidity problems (not just those with indoor pools) can be rented in the winter, especially at such high prices. I believe that the primary goal of a hospitality facility, especially one aiming to achieve certain standards, should be the OVERALL comfort of its guests. This review is simply an opinion based on our direct experience. **After reading the property's response to my review, I only found further proof that they clearly don't accept criticism and tend to place the blame on the guest's incompetence, rather than taking constructive action to resolve issues that make their guests' stay unpleasant. I would like to point out that no second split unit was activated in our room (the one upstairs wasn't working) and that we are able to use an air conditioner. ***The fact that their property is light years different from mine should be an EVEN MORE guarantee of a comfortable stay for guests, not the other way around! If a guest is forced to stay elsewhere, despite having paid for the room, there's clearly something wrong, and this is an objective fact, not a personal opinion.

06/12/2025: The atmosphere is welcoming and typically Salento. A large, warm fireplace was much appreciated. We were there for a birthday dinner. Everyone ordered different dishes, but everyone was satisfied. Definitely a recommended place, and I plan to return.

14/10/2025: We were guests at this restaurant to celebrate a birthday and ate typical Salento dishes, each dish expertly prepared with top-quality ingredients. Everything was delicious and tasty. Highly recommended!

28/03/2026: Delicious pasta and incredibly fresh fish! The glass of Prosecco and red wine were also excellent!

22/03/2026: Good food but exorbitant price €55 for starter, first course and second course... I don't recommend it

22/02/2026: We had a wonderful meal! 😍 A truly homey, simple, and authentic place, where you can experience the true traditions of Bari. Everything is freshly prepared with genuine, quality ingredients. The raw seafood was incredibly fresh and flavorful: you could taste the quality of the catch. The traditional Bari dishes were also spectacular, cooked as they once were, with authentic flavors and generous portions. The staff was super friendly, welcoming, and always attentive, making us feel right at home. If you're looking for authentic, no-frills, traditional Bari cuisine, this is the place. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
