I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

24/11/2025: 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 lifting rope attached. I mentioned it to the waiter, who explained that they're 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 at 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 we didn't 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!

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.

13/11/2025: For my partner and I, it's a must-try, and we couldn't ask for anything better because we always get a guaranteed experience here. As regulars, we can say the quality is excellent, and you can tell they know what they're doing, starting with the stunning location right on the sea. The raw ham is marvelous, its absolute freshness evident in the aroma as soon as it arrives at the table, making us want to eat it in abundance. ​But we have to be honest and admit that the real reason we always come back is the pasta dishes. For us, they're truly the best in the world, cooked to perfection and with generous portions that are filling and delicious, with that true seafood flavor that has sadly been lost elsewhere. Even when the place is packed, service is quick and the waiters are alert. Michele is the soul of this place, always kind and helpful, making us feel at home and not just like numbers.

09/11/2025: I recommend Michele for his excellent first courses, always tasty and plentiful. He always manages to please every customer if he can. The appetizers and main courses are also very good, but you obviously have to choose wisely. The place is very welcoming and family-friendly, especially the part overlooking the sea. Service is attentive and fairly fast. Michele is a delightful and friendly person. I recommend him if you want to spend an evening by the sea.

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

24/09/2025: Excellent meal, with fresh produce and authentic cuisine, far from the tourist traps, I highly recommend it if you want to treat yourself! Adorable waiter!

24/09/2025: A very beautiful location, very simple food, but my god it's good!!! and the server is very nice, I recommend it with my eyes closed.

06/12/2025: We had orichiette with sausage and ragu and finished off with hot chocolate, tiramisu and chocolate and coconut tart. Very good food and close to the main streets of Alberoberro.

05/12/2025: The location is excellent, and if you arrive early for dinner, you can see the sunset. As for the evening dining experience, it's decent, though the price is on the higher side, mainly due to the view.

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.

26/11/2025: Nice restaurant near the fishing pier. Service was good. Food was good.

16/11/2025: "Amazed! A welcoming restaurant with a family atmosphere. The waiter arrived with a blackboard and described the entire menu in detail. Excellent and beautifully presented food. Reasonably priced and completely satisfying."

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.

15/08/2025: Dinner with the family. We didn't use the rooms. As for the food, you have to like their vegan approach. For me (a carnivore), the appetizer was excellent, the first course was perhaps a bit too heavy, and the dessert was delicious. We didn't order the second course because we were too full. What's striking, however, is the tranquility of the place, a true oasis of peace just steps from the road. Add to that a lovely welcome from Francesca, and you've got a truly relaxing evening.

05/05/2025: Eating at Piccapane is a unique experience: a family environment surrounded by greenery where you can enjoy excellent vegan dishes prepared with attention and love. This was the feeling we felt yesterday at lunch, from the welcome from the very kind staff to the tasting of the dishes, in the choice of which we were carefully guided. The food is incredible, a joy of simple flavors with refined combinations. There is also a small shop where you can purchase their products. Finding an entirely vegan restaurant in Salento was a dream until recently. Piccapane is truly a virtuous example, spokesperson for a change that we hope will spread more and more. (access is also allowed to animals ❤️)

21/09/2025: Terrible year, an entire setup was ruined... Rude and unwilling waiters I advise you never to come to such a terrible, unprofessional place.

25/08/2025: Amazing place, great food and friendly staff

14/11/2025: Spaghetti all'assassina with octopus...super! 🐙

14/11/2025: The octopus sandwich is delicious and exceptional. I took the classic one but there are variations with burrata and other types of sandwiches. Generous portions. Quick and cordial, and you can pair it with drinks from the fridge, beers and whatever else.

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!

30/10/2025: Great spot to relax and enjoy the sea, the food was great and the service was excellent.

23/11/2025: Excellent service right on the beach. Affordable prices.

31/10/2025: I went for lunch with my family. We chose the set menu and had excellent seafood. Considering the price, we ate well and spent little. The staff was friendly and the service was quick.
