I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

14/12/2025: I'm reluctant to review restaurants, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Among a plethora of similar restaurants in the area, you'll find yourself in paradise. Wonderful location, wonderful food, wonderful staff. How many "wonderful" words! A young and capable owner who has taken the family legacy and brought it to the heights of restaurant culture. Try it and believe it.

12/10/2025: One of the few establishments open at this time (others closed or limited menu) pleasant welcome and smiling staff. We ate very well, good fresh products. We hadn't booked, few people. It was perfect.

09/07/2025: Siamo stati con amici in questa pizzeria, locale bellissimo, abbiamo mangiato delle pinze eccezionali, i prodotti usati di ottima qualità. Ottimo anche il servizio. Sicuramente da ritornarci. Ottimo il rapporto qualità prezzo

10/06/2025: J'avais demandé à l'IA le chat mistral un restaurant à Alberbello qui ne soit pas un attrape touriste, il m'a conseillé celui-ci ! Pas déçu, bon rapport qualité prix, et serveurs très gentils, il y avait même une serveuse qui parlait français ! Parfait !

08/01/2026: I visited Belami on January 6th, and the experience was a wonderful surprise in every way. From the moment you arrive, you sense a refined and welcoming atmosphere, making you feel immediately at ease. The service was impeccable: attentive, friendly, and never intrusive. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, ready to offer advice with passion and expertise. The real highlight, however, is the cuisine. Each dish was balanced, beautifully presented, and rich in flavor, with quality ingredients that you can taste from the first bite. You can sense great attention to detail and a true pursuit of flavor. I left the restaurant truly enthusiastic, positively surprised by everything: the ambiance, the service, and the food. Belami is definitely a place to return to, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine, clean, and no-frills dining experience.

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.

13/01/2026: Tried going here for lunch but waiting time was too long so we went for dinner. A superb meal. A fisherman came in with a meagre, still alive and they cooked that for us….as fresh as it gets, wonderful!! Children took plain pasta, they one you get in Italy :)

11/01/2026: Delicious octopus and very friendly service

10/01/2026: We ordered a portion of fries and two pizzas. The pizzas were cold, and the fries tasted like bell peppers. The curly-haired girl, insistent on taking our orders quickly, was also rude. Furthermore, she sprayed disinfectant liberally to clean the adjacent tables, not caring about the smell or whether it would end up on the pizza; doing this not only to us but to all the surrounding tables.

16/12/2025: For a takeout service I waited over an hour and a half, then after calling the pizzeria, telling me that the pizzas would arrive in 5 minutes, I waited over 20 minutes...

18/01/2026: Anyone in Bari who wants to enjoy fresh fish and seafood prepared in authentic Italian style simply must visit this restaurant. A complete menu for €45 is highly recommended.

07/01/2026: The best sea foods in Bari. All the dishes were delicious and the staff were very nice and helpful. All of us had options to eat. (e.g.: fish without bones) Highly recommend, the place is a bit out of the crowded tourist area, but reservation needed.

23/09/2025: We stayed at this B&B and it was a truly perfect experience. The rooms are modern, meticulously designed, and furnished with impeccable taste: you immediately feel a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. The host was incredibly helpful and kind, always ready to help and offer excellent advice. A place that combines comfort, elegance, and hospitality: highly recommended!

10/09/2025: An extraordinary culinary experience! During my stay, I dined every evening at this splendid restaurant, always feeling welcomed and pampered, even though I was alone. The fish, always incredibly fresh, shone in every dish, with the raw fish leaving me speechless. A special thanks to Antonio, the owner, for his passion and the unique atmosphere he creates. Kudos also to Stefano, Francesca, Angelo, and Stefhi for their professionalism and warmth. The service was impeccable, precise, and never intrusive. The refined restaurant, with attention to every detail, is perfect for a relaxing evening. Every dinner was a special and memorable experience. I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality experience. Thank you so much to the entire team! ❤️

20/08/2025: Nice and well-designed place. Good value for money. Easy parking. Nice pool.

14/07/2025: This is our second stay here in two and a half years. This hotel has its own charm, the pool is just amazing. And the rooms are adequate. Dora is so kind🥰 every morning she takes the time to prepare a delicious (savory) breakfast for us, and the rooms are always cleaned while we're away. The only downside, when you're unfamiliar with the city, is that they don't serve lunch or dinner (at least during our stay). Be aware that the hotel hosts events on Friday and Saturday evenings, so you have to be prepared before choosing it as your place of stay. And thank you also to Antonio (the owner) for the welcome. You already know that you can count us as a loyal customer 😉 Fiona GIRALDI

29/09/2025: Unfortunately, we only stayed for a short time, just a weekend to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, but we immediately felt we were in the right place. An elegant place, meticulously cared for, where every corner exudes harmony and beauty. Impeccable cleanliness, the kindness of the staff, and the tranquility of the location gave us days of true relaxation, just what we needed. Thank you so much for making our stay so special. An experience we will cherish with our fondest memories.

02/09/2025: I stayed with my family from August 20th to 27th. A simply wonderful, fantastic location, super quiet and well-maintained in every aspect. Absolutely excellent location for nearby Otranto and the nearby beaches of Salento. Giusy and Giuseppe, like all the staff, are exceptional people, always present and available. They make you feel at ease from the first moment. It's hard to find a flaw. The pool is superb, the rooms are spacious and always clean... breakfast, well, what can I say? Their products are top-quality. Wonderful holiday. We will return, but in a few days. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

07/01/2026: The food wasn't bad, but the service was a bit lacking. The Christmas holidays certainly had an impact.

14/12/2025: Absolutely top notch in every way, family atmosphere, cleanliness and reasonable prices, varied daily menu but they will cook anything you want outside of the daily menu.

17/01/2026: If you're in the Polignano area and looking for a place to eat without being a fan of seafood delicacies, definitely go out of your way and drop by Conversano. A whole range of meat delicacies awaits you there, not counting the prepared dishes on the menu. And don't let the counter full of meat fool you; upon entering, you might think it's an ordinary butcher's shop. Behind the counter, you're greeted by a smiling, enormous man whose very presence beckons you in. You immediately feel like you've been there many times before, as the girls will lead you to a table that might have a reservation, but you arrived at the right time. And, as in Italy, you'll eat cheaply and to your heart's content. Everyone who comes in is a friend, and that's what the man behind the counter is all about. Friendly and smiling. You have to go back.

08/11/2025: We stopped by for a quick lunch and it was a great experience. The staff was professional and very friendly. The food was excellent. The fried fish was top notch! Highly recommended!

21/09/2025: The Grand Hotel Terme is a true oasis of relaxation. Perfectly located near the thermal baths and the sea, it offers a complete wellness experience. The rooms are comfortable, with attentive and professional service. The spa is beautiful, with rejuvenating treatments and a thermal pool that makes your stay even more special. An excellent choice for those seeking tranquility and pampering. The staff is truly exceptional. Welcoming, professional, and always available, they make every guest feel at home. A true highlight of the hotel!

19/09/2025: I stayed at this hotel with my parents from September 7 to 17, 2025. The stay was extremely pleasant. The hotel enjoys an extremely convenient location, very central and practically on the beach; the Lido Terme is reached via a pedestrian walkway and sits on a wide stretch of fine sand with clean, shallow water and well-spaced umbrellas. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable, and meticulously clean, each with a small balcony. The staff and management are courteous, professional, and always available. The cuisine is good and varied. Highly recommended.

13/09/2025: We ordered two pizzas, and they were quick to prepare, even though it was Saturday night. The pizzas were cooked perfectly, the dough melts in your mouth, light and airy around the edges. I asked for advice on a pizza, wanting to try something different. They suggested the "DELIZIOSA" pizza, which includes plenty of stracciatella, prosciutto, walnuts, olive oil, and basil. What can I say? Truly delicious, we were extremely satisfied. Kindness and courtesy accompany the deliveries.

22/08/2025: The best pizza in Puglia!! 🤩 We tried the Diavola and the Romagnola, and both were incredible. Fast and very friendly service! 100% recommended.

27/11/2025: My wife and I stopped for lunch. It was a wonderful experience. The lunch was exceptional, the staff was excellent, and Paolo was a kind, friendly, and knowledgeable guy. We'll be back. Ciacomino and Lucia

16/11/2025: Excellent food but above all the very high professionalism of Paolo... difficult to find in general... we will return to be pampered by Paolo and compliments to chef Salvo
