I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

10/01/2026: Attention to raw materials and knowledge in the kitchen... there is no better place for fish in the area!

13/09/2025: Quality, combination, clarity, presentation. Tutto perfetto. Mother and daughter (both incredibly beautiful) are in the kitchen. They cook the way we imagine real Italian cuisine to be. This clarity of dish, quality and ingredients, and precise preparation. They can tell when the pasta is al dente; they don't have to pluck a noodle out every minute to check the doneness. We ate deliciously; I'd give it a star. Plucked skate, served lukewarm with steamed fennel, olive oil, and salt. Mussels with risotto, rice, and tender boiled potatoes. Delicious broth. Then pasta with prawns and small, sun-ripened tomatoes. For the main course, sea bass, perfectly prepared, just a touch of olive oil. This is a hidden gem here in Puglia. We drank a bottle of wine with it: Cervaro from Antinori. Also a hidden gem. My absolute favorite wine. We'll be back, for sure. With a big hug ☺️🙏

28/05/2026: The waiter was friendly. Unfortunately, that was the only positive point. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't very exciting. It was probably frozen food prepared at the last minute. Even the pasta with tomato sauce tasted mass-produced. It fills you up, but it's not enjoyable. Oh! And if they ask if you'd like wine or water... order water! The wine is undrinkable!

24/05/2026: Wonderful food, excellent as are the prices, impeccable service, we will return, it's a truly wonderful experience

29/11/2025: I feel compelled to write this review. They have truly excellent quality products. And another huge plus (which is a little hard to find these days) is the friendliness and honesty of the owner. He's truly a good guy. I go there specifically from Matera because it's worth it. Thanks

10/05/2026: Terrible service! The first one arrived after a two-hour wait.

10/05/2026: Decent food, but terrible service!! After an hour and a half, we only had appetizers.

14/01/2026: Excellent appetizers, good pizza, neither soft nor crunchy, just the right amount. We'll be back.

04/01/2026: As a pizza it's not that great, even as a mozzarella, we were disappointed because they made even a one-year-old girl pay for the cover charge, something that never happened to us.

17/05/2026: Hotel outside of Bari (approx. 13 km). Somewhat dated. We had room number 16, which had no window. The staff was friendly but not particularly attentive. At breakfast, you have to order butter, cheese, etc. separately, but there is no extra charge.

28/04/2026: It's become a familiar place for me. The location is convenient, as is the availability of ample free parking that doesn't require reservations. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. Breakfast is good. The rooms are comfortable and clean. My suggestion would be to provide a kettle. That would be perfect for me.

08/04/2026: Everything was perfect. Top-notch service, delicious food, and a great atmosphere.

20/02/2026: We arrived in Lecce on our first day, quite late, around 9 pm, and this was our first meal in Italy. Excellent and delicious!

02/11/2025: Terrible service, rude waitress, and edible pizza. Definitely needs improvement.

08/06/2026: We'd been away for a long time, so we returned to celebrate an anniversary and we indulged. We'd been wanting to return for a long time. Everything remained just as we left it, which surprised us that they remembered us after so many years. The food never disappoints: the meat is delicious, the bombette, the sausage, and the livers are a sight to behold. We couldn't help but try the pizza, and I was surprised. It was already good, but it got even better, delicious. The dough was good, as was the toppings. The price is average, the pizza, the meat, the side dish, the ash-fried potato (another delight), drinks, water, and cover charge per person are around 25 euros, but it also depends on the type of meat chosen. There's a lot of life outside. Nice place.

15/05/2026: Diner with my wife, pizzas was so good, only thing, the waitress forgot about us at times

02/04/2026: Good pizza, excellent appetizers, and fast, friendly service. Gluten-free pizza and appetizers

22/03/2026: Unfortunately, the experience was negative due to the service. The lady taking orders was extremely slow and seemed completely lost among the tables. The overall impression was one of confusion and disorganization: we waited much longer than necessary before we could even order.

15/10/2025: Very quiet, soft music, very unusual organized flea market atmosphere, entirely homemade organic dishes

14/09/2025: We dined at Corti Bianche during our stay in Trani, and since it was a Saturday evening, we preferred to make a reservation. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a wonderful garden, meticulously cared for down to the smallest detail, which immediately conveyed a pleasant sense of elegance and serenity. The hosts proved to be truly delightful. What I appreciated most was their honesty: the menu features a scrocchiarella, a generous portion that easily fills two people. Although we intended to order a first course as well, the owner very candidly advised us to wait and decide later. A gesture that, especially in a tourist destination, is by no means a given. At the table, I commented, "Too honest for a holiday destination, where the opposite often happens." And in that moment, I felt truly protected, as a guest and not simply as a customer. We followed their advice, and they were right: one scrocchiarella was more than enough. We also noticed the same genuine and caring attitude towards the other tables: a rare attention, demonstrating how truly family-run this place is and how the owners have chosen to put customer satisfaction first. My sincerest compliments go to them: authentic hosts who, despite the times and the touristy environment, have chosen to play their cards on the table with transparency and heart. Corte Bianchi is more than just a restaurant: it's an oasis of authenticity, where honesty becomes an integral part of the menu and where, beyond good food, you can savor the human value of those who welcome you. A place that stays in your heart, and that deserves to be remembered and recommended. ❤️

09/06/2026: I don't know if it was the "wrong" night, but the food was tasteless (except for the delicious mussels). The staff was very friendly and helpful, but unprepared. The location deserves better!

09/06/2026: We went there for the first time last night and I have to say we had a great time. The place is beyond words, simply enchanting, but the food and service are also worthy! It's a simple style, the dishes as they used to be made, without too much embellishment but AUTHENTIC AND GOOD. So if you're looking for something spectacular, I wouldn't recommend it, but if you want to eat a quality product with a simple selection, this is the right place.

10/05/2026: We thought it would be a tourist trap, but it wasn't at all. We ate well.

04/05/2026: The meat is of the highest quality and perfectly cooked. The staff is the real plus: knowledgeable, fast, and extremely kind. An impeccable experience. Congratulations!

13/06/2026: Great service, plus the pizza is really good

07/06/2026: Excellent restaurant and very kind staff.

17/03/2026: Friendly owners, nice and welcoming atmosphere, the pizza is delicious 😋

06/12/2025: Let's start by saying that when we booked, he told us we could come a few minutes early, but then he made us wait with two empty tables🤦. The caciocavallo pizza didn't have any caciocavallo cheese, you could barely taste it. The carnaleta had the sausage a little gone...
