I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

30/10/2025: The food was unfortunately oversalted; I think the cook was having a bad day. However, considering the prices, it's outrageous – €18 for pasta! 😀 And be sure to check the prices on the menu; they simply added €10 to the bill.

30/10/2025: Decent food with typical Apulian dishes. Small atmosphere. Attentive staff. The only flaw is the burnt fries.

09/11/2025: Delicious appetizers, very good pizza, a welcoming place with short waits, even on Saturdays. Clara, the waitress who served us, was knowledgeable and friendly.

09/11/2025: A positive experience, good pizzas with long rising times and specialty flours: whole grain, whole wheat, or white. The best is made with good, varied ingredients. You can eat inside or outside under an elegant gazebo. The desserts are good, but the gelato is not.

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.

06/11/2025: I dined at this restaurant two nights in a row. A wonderful discovery! The restaurant is beautiful and very welcoming. There's also a small covered and heated terrace. The staff is very professional and friendly. The food is superb! The fish and seafood are incredibly fresh. I tried the ceviche, the trio of tartare, the tuna steak, and the beef fillet (for meat lovers)—everything was perfect. They also have a good wine selection. If you're looking for a "real restaurant," this is an excellent choice. The prices are a bit higher than other restaurants in Bari, but it's entirely justified. They really go the extra mile! 😉 Thank you to the whole team; I had two wonderful evenings in your company.

04/11/2025: The soup for two for €60 looked like this (see photo). There was very little fish, and the tail in the photo was raw. To be fair, they replaced it, but the bruschetta was burnt.

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.

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.

17/06/2025: This restaurant deserves the best in everything. The food is fabulous and the service is attentive. The customer is really happy here. The raw material is of exceptional quality, in particular the freshness of the fish is to be appreciated. If you want to eat well in Ruvo di Puglia, you don't even have to think about it, Filippo is always a guarantee.

08/11/2025: I'm a professional driver and I often go to San Giovanni Rotondo. Since I discovered this place, I've been coming back more often. The quality/price ratio is top notch. Excellent food, rock-bottom prices. Pasquale, the owner, is incredibly kind and delightful. I recommend this place to everyone.

11/10/2025: A 5-star quick meal. While looking for a quick bite, I found Pranzi Express, which was truly delicious, from the first course to the second course, etc. I had Emilian wheels, parmigiana, pork loin with arugula and parmesan, and potato gatoo' for the modest price of 18 euros, nice large portions. Really good. The price was reasonable for the quality and quantity, even a little low. When I return to San Giovanni Rotondo, it will be one of my stops. Lunch only available for takeout, in convenient containers, with forks and everything you need; just ask.

07/11/2025: Exactly the place I was looking for, home-style, with quality products, tasty food, friendly staff. Thank you for the tasty lunch today.

02/11/2025: Good quality, good service. It's not cheap, but it's delicious.

18/11/2025: Simple, authentic seafood restaurant near the old town. Try the raw seafood, sea urchins, and mixed fried seafood.

15/11/2025: Delicious and very fresh raw fish. Attentive and friendly staff.

09/11/2025: One of the best experiences I've ever had in Salento. Highly recommended, it never disappoints in every way: captivating menu, top-quality ingredients, attentive and smiling service, pleasant and warm atmosphere, and well-spaced tables. The appetizers are excellent, and everything else is consistent... right down to the desserts!

25/10/2025: amazing food! we had a grat time <3

15/10/2025: The waiter brought us a coffee with normal milk when we specified soya. We are both extremely lactose intolerant. When we asked for a new coffee and sent it back they refused to remove it from the bill and said it wasn’t their fault. Terrible service.

14/10/2025: No toilet seat or toilet paper in the ladies or gents toilets. No toilet seat unfortunately seems standard in most of restaurants in Puglia

02/11/2025: I was there yesterday with my wife. We found a dirty room. At first, they gave us a small table that was completely wobbly. I lifted the tablecloth and found cardboard boxes to hold it down, and a hundred feet on the tablecloth. The seafood appetizer was poor quality, with dirty au gratin mussels still with the rope from the remover attached. When we presented it to the waiter, we explained that they were expensive, so perhaps the manpower to clean them was reduced to keep costs down. The fried calamari was of terrible quality, which you can find much better in a street food shop. The service was approximate. Finally, the bill was disproportionate for what we ate and the quality served. They even charged us for a beer that we didn't even consume. A final point: we weren't given a menu to choose from. In short, it's not an à la carte restaurant, but a self-service restaurant in an industrial area.

22/10/2025: What is this restaurant? I wrote on their website to make a reservation: no response. I go: door open, lights on: they tell me it's closed. How absurd!

09/11/2025: Nice place but We had just a coffee

09/11/2025: Good seaside restaurant with a lovely view.

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.
