I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

13/10/2025: We ate well. The restaurant offers a set menu. I've been back and can confirm that the food is excellent. The tasting menu is truly exquisite!

12/10/2025: We visited Gustavo's and had a very positive overall experience. The staff is extremely helpful, friendly, and approachable, always ready to accommodate guests' needs. The location is magnificent, with a lovely little garden ideal for summer lunches and dinners, and a well-kept, clean, and elegant interior with a rustic touch that makes it welcoming. The menu is a fixed price and includes five appetizers, a first course, a second course, and a dessert (drinks and cover charge not included). The food is excellent, high-quality, and prepared with attention to detail. The only real flaw was the portion size. There were five of us, and the courses were served as a single dish to be shared, resulting in a taste rather than a portion, so much so that we had to ask for more of the second course. There was a bit of a wait between courses, which is understandable given the crowd and the number of seats, but otherwise it was a positive experience. Thank you.

10/06/2025: Locale perfetto per gli amanti del crudo di qualità; per gli altri poca scelta. Le indicazioni della gestione sono chiare: solo crudo e qualcosa di scottato, quindi si sa cosa aspettarsi.... Ottime ostriche e crostacei come del resto i vari carpacci. Molto buono il salmone scottato ed il salmone affumicato da gustare con "foglie" di pane abbrustolito e burro.. Prezzi alti ma rapportati al prodotto.

05/06/2025: We hebben heerlijk geluncht op een prachtige plek! Het eten was top. Fine Dining voor een vriendelijke prijs. De service was goed, het eten heerlijk en de lokatie prachtig. Ze gebruiken kruiden uit eigen tuin.

30/07/2025: Ottimo ristorante, gentilezza e professionalità dello staff, simpatia e maestria del proprietario, il mitico Gianni, per non parlare dell’ottima pizza,azzeccataissimo il nome del locale, IL VERO IMPASTO NAPOLETANO…

30/07/2025: Piacevolissima sorpresa trovare questo locale in un posto molto panoramico ed un’atmosfera che più napoletana non si può! Dalla calorosa accoglienza tipicamente partenopea al cibo molto buono (il Cuoppo di terra e il Capocollo di Martina e burrata) alla pizza “autenticamente” napoletana. Bravi.

06/09/2025: Highly recommended! Authentic, simple cuisine. We had the €25 menu, which was simply fantastic. Thanks for the hospitality 🙏

20/08/2025: Fantastic trattoria. Incredible value for money. We were greeted with kindness and warmth, and the food reflects the owners' authenticity. The first courses were delicious, including the orecchiette with braciola sauce and the cavatelli with mussels. The house red wine is one of the best I've ever had. The mixed fried fish and baked scamorza cheese are delicious. Unbeatable price. We'll definitely be back, thank you so much. Highly recommended!

13/09/2025: Booked on Booking.com but received no welcome. Breakfast not included. It's fine if you can't find alternatives. But there are better options around Alberobello.

07/09/2025: A property immersed in nature, just 5 minutes from Alberobello, excellently managed by both the owner and his staff, all very friendly and cheerful (which never hurts). The rooms are spotless and comfortable, and the food is excellent, with reasonable prices for the quality and quantity of the dishes served. We were truly satisfied with our stay overall.

05/10/2025: Average experience at this restaurant. The food was decent, but the interactions with the waiters and the owner were rather cold and lacking in friendliness. As soon as we arrived, a bottle was placed and opened on the table without our being asked for our opinion. I don't particularly recommend this restaurant, which seems to prioritize profit over quality of service.

04/10/2025: Definitely worth a visit, just a bit quiet when we went, mid week @ 21:30. Good value as is the whole of Puglia.

21/10/2025: I went to the restaurant for dinner. The waitress was very kind and knowledgeable. The food was very good and well prepared.

21/10/2025: This restaurant is located not far from the Candela highway exit. It's a very nice place with overnight accommodations available. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The four of us ordered appetizers and first courses, all of which were good quality, for a total of €120.

25/10/2025: Belami in Maglie was a major disappointment. The “catch of the day” was clearly old and smelled off, left by our table in hopes we’d choose one of those fish. We declined and decided to order an à la carte seafood pasta instead, asking if it could be cooked without wine due to dietary requirements. The waiter said the only option without wine was the Chianina ragù, as all other pasta dishes were already pre-mixed, unless we chose one of the smelly fish of the day. If the food were freshly prepared, the chef could have easily made a seafood pasta from the menu without wine. Most dishes seemed pre-cooked or frozen. I honestly don’t understand how this place can be mentioned in the Michelin guide. I usually avoid leaving negative reviews, but in this case, it was necessary.

28/08/2025: Belami Maglie is a true gastronomic gem in Salento. Under the guidance of the talented chef Tiziano Margarito, each dish becomes a memorable experience: the combination of creativity, refinement and respect for local ingredients is felt in every detail. The elegant atmosphere, impeccable service and wine selection perfectly complete the culinary journey. A place where passion and professionalism meet – certainly a restaurant that has all the assets to be a candidate for a Michelin star.

08/10/2025: Excellent value for money, rustic and welcoming place, very friendly staff

13/08/2025: Fast, excellent, Sovizzo at reasonable prices, I recommend

27/09/2025: If you want to eat well not only fish but also typical dishes this is the ideal place, freshness and kindness, a special thanks to Gino for his kindness.

27/09/2025: The appetizer was poor, sad, and lacking in quantity and quality. I don't think we'll be back.

04/08/2025: Cordialità e ottimo cibo fanno dí questo ristorante un posto accogliente, ottimi antipasti ottimi primi e ottimi secondi con una griglia spettacolare! Mia moglie ha mangiato carne io pesce tutto squisito! Ottimo il vino! Il proprietario è assolutamente il top!

27/07/2025: Cena tranquilla con amici, primi buoni, consiglio le orecchiette e i ravioli ripieni. Essendo in collina si sta molto bene

29/09/2025: The place has a lot of potential, both for its location and its food (which is still good quality). But the organization, the ownership, and (some) of the staff definitely ruin the experience. After my first visit, I gave it a second chance, because anyone can have a bad night. Instead, my first impression was confirmed: total disorganization, rudeness (even bordering on rudeness), unreasonable wait times, and a lack of customer service. Tension was also evident among the staff (with heated arguments in one of the main dining rooms). There won't be a third chance.

07/09/2025: Excellent meat, excellent beers, good service

19/07/2025: We had pizza and everyone really liked it. The service is very kind and attentive. The prices are also reasonable. 🙂

18/07/2025: Phenomenal pizza and superb spaghetti all'assassina Friendly and welcoming staff :) Also try the beef tagliata: excellent!

25/10/2025: One of the best experiences in Salento: authentic food, super fresh fish, and a very welcoming atmosphere. We'll become regulars!

18/10/2025: Probably the best panna cotta I’ll ever eat in my life, the consistency and flavour was amazing. Our sweet and helpful server Manuella said she’s the one who makes all the desserts herself - compliments ! The meals, decorations and atmosphere were homey and authentic-feeling — overall a very lovely dinner.

31/08/2025: Excellent and plentiful appetizers Pizza by the meter is a great idea, but they should also offer a traditional round pizza (they only make it for those with food intolerances). Slow service, about an hour before taking the order.
