I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

18/08/2025: A great place to go👍. The homemade Fior di Latte gelato is to die for😉.

29/07/2025: A nice, old-fashioned place, the waiters constantly walk around us, refilling our wine, asking what to order (they don't ignore you), and most importantly, the food is great.

01/09/2025: We were there last night, we bought a portion of chips and two portions of pasta with fish, water and local alcohol. Everything was good, we will be back.

28/08/2025: Unfortunately, it was a dinner I won't remember. The gratin mussels, which I only discovered were Spanish afterward, as the waiter explained it to another table, were completely overshadowed by the gratin cheese. The fried mussels weren't fried, they were boiled (I'll leave you a photo). The bill, in my opinion, was excessive for the quality, which, alas, I didn't find in the dishes. The positives: the staff were friendly throughout the service, the homemade cake was delicious, and the fennel liqueur they kindly gave us for free.

31/08/2025: To celebrate my birthday, I chose Il Bel Paese in Mola, a restaurant I already knew for its excellent seafood, and I wanted to introduce my family to it, having come all the way from Matera. My expectations were not disappointed: generous portions, high-quality ingredients, and dishes with attention to detail, from the table setting to the plating. Thanks to chef Vito, always attentive to the customer's needs, and to Mariangela, a kind and helpful waitress who looked after us with professionalism. Everyone was satisfied, and even though we're a bit far away, we'll definitely be back. If you want fresh, expertly prepared seafood, this is truly the place to be!

31/08/2025: "An excellent culinary experience!" We came from Matera specifically to try this restaurant and were extremely satisfied. The fish is simply delicious, incredibly fresh, and perfectly cooked—a true pleasure. The service is attentive and impeccable. Special thanks to Mariangela, our waitress, who served us with great courtesy and professionalism. A place where you eat very well and feel welcomed. We'll definitely be back!

26/08/2025: Very good food and adequate portions, very kind and professional staff. Congratulations!

23/08/2025: A truly excellent restaurant, where you can discover traditional Salento flavors paired with excellent wines, guided by welcoming and friendly staff. The octopus with potatoes was impeccable, as was the rest of the cuisine. The central location might mislead you into thinking it's a "tourist" restaurant, but that's definitely not the case. It's top-notch and definitely recommended! Well done!!!

06/09/2025: A wonderful little cafe with very friendly staff and great coffee. Cozy and friendly atmosphere as if you’re at home with friends. We could store our luggage for a small fee and could be sure that it was in good hands. If available, try the carrot cake or the frozen espresso. We highly recommend this place.

03/09/2025: Lunch 10 euros, 2 dry chicken pieces and a plain salad. Not worth 4.8 stars.

24/08/2025: During our stay in Bari, we visited Mancini three times – always very pleased. My son loves the Orecchiette con Brasciola, and the pizza is also delicious, though thin-crust, even though we ordered thick crust. We'll definitely be back.

22/08/2025: Excellent place, I highly recommend it. The food is excellent, the price is good, and the service and friendly staff are impeccable. If I return to Bari, I will definitely eat at Mancini again. Thank you.

14/07/2025: Hello, your place is very welcoming and spacious, I also recommend it for your children.

13/07/2025: Everything very beautiful and good

11/09/2025: Wonderful!!! Escape the tourist circuit and come to this delicious trattoria!!! Authentic Italian food! Soooo good!

01/09/2025: Fabulous pasta al forno with little meatballs! (Takeaway) Delicious!

24/08/2025: We've been wanting to go to Al Vecchio Forno for a while, and we finally made it during our short stay in Barletta. The location is elegant and welcoming. The entire staff was professional and friendly. We had one appetizer and two main courses, both very good and high-quality. The homemade desserts were also fabulous. We'll be back soon.

23/08/2025: Are you allergic? Don't go! At dinner with friends, we chose the house mixed appetizers and declared one of us to be allergic to nuts. The waiter, after going to the kitchen to inquire, returned and said, "All appetizers do NOT contain nuts." Unfortunately, however, as we ate, we realized the tuna had a sauce with nuts! We decided to leave immediately to monitor our allergic friend who had eaten the dish and to have easy access to emergency services if necessary. From then on, we realized the waiters didn't even know the difference between an intolerance and an allergy. The owner didn't even apologize, and when pressed, simply said "human error" and gave us the bill. Unfortunately, this was an unacceptable mistake that, if we hadn't had an antihistamine on hand and a lot of luck, could have cost us our lives. The superficiality with which something like this was handled leaves us truly bitter and frightened. We hope this report will be helpful in the future. Please be careful!

01/09/2025: Very good restaurant! We enjoyed the platters and the chips. The atmosphere is great!

30/08/2025: Sandwich shop with fresh, authentic ingredients. Affordable and tasty sandwiches with a variety of options. Very friendly and helpful service.

09/09/2025: A great place to go out with friends. Very cheap and quick.

07/09/2025: A guaranteed Pugliese atmosphere with generous appetizers. An excellent place to eat authentic Italian pizzas at a bargain price.

02/09/2025: Everything was good, the only flaw being the fish salad already dressed with vinegar, but it was my mistake for not specifying that I wanted it plain. The location and service were impeccable. Recommended.

31/08/2025: Everything was really nice, customer attention, short waiting times, welcoming atmosphere, quality food and well served

22/08/2025: I normally don’t leave reviews but for this place I have to. The food was exceptional, the ingredients were incredibly fresh and the waitstaff is very attentive. Also, the place is beautiful! We went a couple of times when we were in Lecce and tried different dishes, all delicious including the sushi (one of the best I’ve tasted) and the amazing tiramisu. Definitely a must if you are in Puglia!

21/08/2025: Attentive service, delicious dinner, beautifully presented plates, a pleasure for the eyes and the palate.

23/08/2025: We went for a week in the morning, and then returned almost every evening for the next week!!! The food is delicious, fresh, and impeccably presented. High-quality meat and cheeses. I also loved the panzanella, a truly simple dish revisited in a fresh and delicious way. To top it off, the desserts were truly delicious, so much so that I ordered at least 2-3 of them each evening just for myself. The price is very fair; in fact, considering the quality of the ingredients, it's truly a gift. I will definitely be back for dinner as soon as I have the chance!

22/08/2025: Reservations are recommended on peak tourist days. Classic seafood and meat menu, with a few specialties. Excellent wine selection. Good value. Highly recommended.

20/08/2025: Everything was perfect. Even though we ate the food with our eyes, the taste surprised us even more. Perfect welcome, stunning location, and knowledgeable and extremely polite staff. Everything was taken care of to perfection. Pietro, one of the three owners, made us spend a wonderful evening.

19/08/2025: Parking, beautiful small beach, good food, bathrooms, life guard. The place to be for a family.
