I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

20/07/2025: It's a push-your-tray place with a gorgeous view. The emphasis is on location, the food is very bad, inexperienced staff, exorbitant prices.

20/07/2025: Sono tornato qui dopo tanti anni. Location bellissima, come sempre. Cibo non buono (come sempre, servizio di bassissimo livello (questa e’ una novità). Ristorante adatto a stranieri. Gli italiani non si troveranno mai bene qui per la qualità del cibo.

22/10/2025: We found the restaurant by chance but were very pleased with it. Informal but pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff. Recommended.

22/10/2025: This old Bari restaurant is near the castle. Inside, the ceilings are barrel-vaulted and the furnishings are wooden. The cuisine is traditional Bari, with a variety of appetizers and traditional first courses. Everything is excellently cooked and the portions are generous. Fast service and friendly staff are also available. The prices are truly affordable.

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. ❤️

28/07/2025: Beautiful location, excellent quality food, kind and helpful staff.

05/04/2025: Great coffee and friendly staff

16/10/2025: We got takeout. A pizza, some beers, and a lemon soda. Good prices, delicious pizza, and an ice-cold drink. The service from the pizza master was very good, quick, and practical. The girl was obviously very busy and didn't have the time to serve us, but she wasn't rude. Recommended

19/08/2025: Nice place, with seating in the alley. Added value, I'd say. Fast and discreet service. They serve Neapolitan pizza, but they also have an appetizer. If you're passing by, why not stop by?

04/09/2025: We only stopped for a shaken coffee, but it was the best we've ever had. The menu, however, looks interesting, with raw seafood and a good wine list.

27/08/2025: On vacation in Rodi Garganico, we dined at this restaurant last night. "Dinner" is a manner of speaking, because it was quite an adventure: two diners received their appetizer (wrong according to the order), their main course, and then the first course at the same time. The raw fish appetizer was served, but it's a shame no one had a plate. The sparkling water arrived hot and in plastic bottles. But the highlight was the "tagliata arugula e parmesan." A steak (the owner called it an entrecôte) arrived, missing the arugula and parmesan, but... no worries, they arrived at our request... separately on a fruit plate. The staff were very helpful, but you don't ask a customer to open their own bottle of wine... (warm). But it was the owner's attitude that was so disturbing; he was keen to point out that he's been doing this job for years... Hmm.

05/10/2025: The food was worthy of a cafeteria, the dishes were delivered late and the quality was poor! A tourist trap.

14/09/2025: We stopped here today for a quick lunch after being drawn to the beautiful location directly above the harbor and the sea. Unfortunately, much of the food was mediocre. The spaghetti with mussels was a bit too al dente and a bit too salty. The house wine lacked any depth and was expensive. The service wasn't particularly attentive. The bread was dry, hard, and I had to get the oil myself. This restaurant could do more.

14/07/2025: Credo sia il ristorante più bello della città. Non si può non notarlo, parola d’ordine: eleganza ! Il personale è impeccabile, professionale e competente. Il cibo è superlativo. Da avere l’indecisione della scelta. Lo consiglio vivamente.

29/06/2025: Uno dei ristoranti più buoni di Porto Cesareo con una vista mozzafiato sul porto e isola dei Conigli. Cibo di alta qualità ottimo è l’insalata di polpo, gnocchetti di scampi e vongole e orecchiette di pesto di basilico. Molto buona anche la qualità e prezzo.

19/08/2025: Great location and good food, albeit small portions. The fish is very good. The waiters are very helpful. Prices are medium-high.

19/07/2025: Always a pleasure to come back here. The food is well-prepared and tasty.

29/09/2025: The food was excellent, the service was very friendly and helpful, and there weren't long waits. We were spoiled, everything was great! I don't understand the last reviews. The restaurant is highly recommended. We'll be back!

23/09/2025: The food is excellent, the staff is friendly. Definitely recommendable.

09/07/2025: siamo ritornati al Frantoio certi di trascorrere giorni meravigliosi, e così è stato! Un posto magico, ricco di storia e di dettagli in ogni angolo. Il personale sempre cortese e professionale attento alle esigenze degli ospiti e pronti ad accogliere le loro richieste. Le camere ben curate e spaziose e curate in ogni particolare. Posizione comodissima vicina a qualsiasi bella località si voglia visitare e poi, al ritorno, una comoda piscina aspetta gli ospiti che vogliono rinfrescarsi all'ombra dei meravigliosi ulivi o con un gustoso cocktail. Piante, giardino ovunque, pavoni, ulivi secolari. Insomma, un posto magico che è diventato posto del cuore

09/07/2025: Yet another highly overrated restaurant on TripAdvisor! We were four for dinner and did the wine pairing along with the tasting menu. The food overall is mediocre at best. Some dishes like the chicory (which i normally love) were tasteless and blah. No dish rose to the level of delicious. The wines were fine. You get three glasses across eight courses. A white, a rose, and a red. All serviceable but not outstanding. The service on the other hand is weird. Very disorganized. Sometimes rude. We reserved a table some weeks in advance and confirmed via email the day before. We were told dinner service starts at 8:30. We arrived at 8:30 to find the tables mostly all full with diners well into their meals. There was no host to greet us and we stood awkwardly in the courtyard waiting to be helped. When we could finally get someone’s attention, a waiter came over and searched for our name but couldn’t find it. When we paid the bill later that night we were informed the reservation was under BOTH my last name AND my wife’s (different) last name - but when trying to get seated, I provided my name and we were told that they could not find our reservation. After we finally asked whether the reservation was under my wife’s name, the waiter saw that this name was on the list, and we got a surly, “so it’s your mistake!” We also stated on several occasions that one of our family has an allergy and this was confirmed twice via email. Yet upon sitting, the server was taken by surprise by this request and needed to go talk with the kitchen. The rest of the meal was a rushed series of mediocre dishes and wine. In food and service, this restaurant does not rise to the level of excellent. The food is only mediocre and the service is disorganized and often rude.

04/10/2025: Excellent pastry shop and friendly staff. The new management has made a leap forward by renovating the shop and focusing on quality and local products.

26/09/2025: Management changed, prices remained medium/high as did the medium/low quality of products.

28/09/2025: Uneven ice cream, some good, others very bland. Not a word in a foreign language, too bad for the tourists!

14/09/2025: The Spritz that leaves you twice as cold: for the cost and the unquantifiable amount of ice. I come from the homeland of the Spritz, and in all my years, I've never paid a premium for a handful of chips.
