I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

27/09/2025: It's hard to imagine a more beautiful place for a wonderful dinner. The food itself – mainly fish and seafood – is truly excellent, and the price-performance ratio is excellent. The freshly baked, delicious bread is also a real highlight. Add to that the fantastic atmosphere and the attentive service, and you'll have a truly unforgettable experience. But the tables with your feet in the sand are the icing on the cake. We'd love to come back! Grazie mille!

25/09/2025: Dinner for two on the veranda overlooking the beach. We chose the tasting menu and were very pleased with the fresh ingredients and excellent preparation.

17/01/2026: Wonderful dinner: warm and very friendly welcome, superb food (that mullet...mamma mia!), excellent wines. The best of the best in Bari!

10/11/2025: We spend very nice time and Antonio was the best. Best regards

08/03/2026: The food was delicious, and both the service and ambiance were excellent. However, the price is a bit high for the portion size. The welcome drink and small snacks are a nice touch.

08/03/2026: Excellent restaurant. Delicious food, very polite staff, and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

01/03/2026: We had lunch at this restaurant on a Sunday. When we arrived, it took a while to ask where our table was because the place was packed. We chose to sit on the outdoor veranda because the weather permitted. As soon as we were seated, we were served by an elegant and polite waiter, who brought us bread and water, while our order was taken by someone else. We ordered an appetizer and two first courses and decided to wait until later to choose the second course. The appetizer arrived in a timely manner, good but sparse, considering the price. After that, we were no longer considered; we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for two first courses, which cost €16 each. I'm not a complaining customer, but all the tables outside (which arrived after us and were much larger) ate well before us. The waiter, sensing our disappointment, came over after an hour and said we'd have to wait a few more minutes, but another 20 minutes passed. The two entrees were cold and not worth the expense. We ate and left. We were charged the full bill and asked if we wanted a limoncello, but after two and a half hours of waiting, we just wanted to leave. A bad experience.

13/12/2025: A truly positive experience. The freshest fish, cooked to perfection. The homemade desserts are also highly recommended. In winter, the warm atmosphere creates a Christmassy atmosphere. In spring and summer, the terrace with its breathtaking views of the Gargano offers a romantic and evocative setting.

25/09/2025: It's truly a quiet place, excellent home cooking with ingredients just like home, generous portions, impeccable service. The appetizer menu is varied, and the fried fish is excellent. Compliments to the chef; I'll definitely be back next summer.

17/09/2025: Small, homemade restaurant for a pleasant evening with friends, tasty local products, mussels au gratin and decent fried fish.

15/02/2026: Sabino welcomed us to his restaurant and made us feel at home. He took care of our every need and prepared a gluten-free menu for a celiac guest. Since we were a motorcycle group, he offered us a customized menu with excellent value. Thank you and see you soon.

09/01/2026: Authenticity, goodness and professionalism are at the top of everything 💯

18/03/2026: Kudos to the guys who work there! Delicious pizzas and a wide selection, and they're quickly refilled if they run out, giving everyone a chance to try them. Kudos to the guys for their endless patience, especially when dealing with a Saturday dinner rush with certain types of customers. The place is small inside, and you can't always find a table outside, but you can order takeout and eat it sitting in Piazzetta Santa Chiara or at a table. I highly recommend it, especially for the quality/price ratio, which, considering it's in the historic center, isn't bad at all—in fact, quite the opposite. The pizza with honey-marinated potatoes is definitely a must-try!

16/03/2026: Small but functional location. Good quality and variety of pizzas. Prices are slightly higher than usual.

16/03/2026: Wonderful restaurant with very friendly staff. The food was excellent. I got into a conversation with the owner while paying, which led to a lovely chat. Thank you so much.

14/02/2026: A truly positive experience! The food was excellent, you could taste the quality of the ingredients and the care taken in preparing them. Impeccable service, friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended.

24/02/2026: Honest and delicious food, original regional dishes. Very affordable. Our antipasto, pasta con cime di rape, and fried fish were fantastic. And a lovely outdoor terrace too.

19/02/2026: The best restaurant in the entire area. Spectacular. Authentic flavor. Authentic location. Exceptional service. I'd come back again and again.

03/10/2025: Super tasty insalata, tagliere and burger

01/10/2025: Very good options for dinner in the center of Lecce. Pleasant service, typical "Puglian" cuisine and very good atmosphere. Very balanced price-quality ratio.

09/12/2025: Very welcoming, excellent dishes with fresh seasonal flavors, exceptional staff, an experience to recommend

18/10/2025: A beautiful property surrounded by greenery. The owner is incredibly kind; you can immediately tell he loves his job. Local produce is used. A place that takes you away from reality, both for the beauty that surrounds you and the quality of the food served. I think I made the best choice for the location, the food, and the staff. My mom was so happy to celebrate her birthday here. Congratulations again!

19/03/2026: Excellent in every way Quality Cleanliness Professionalism Friendliness

09/03/2026: Unfamiliar with the city, we asked around for a place to eat good raw fish. The exterior doesn't exactly look inviting, but once we stepped inside, we were pleasantly surprised. The place is cute, clean, and tasteful. The staff is knowledgeable, courteous, and welcoming. The fish is extraordinary, fresh, and beautifully presented. The quality-price ratio is excellent.

10/03/2026: A unique and refined restaurant. Very friendly staff.

01/03/2026: Truly a culinary journey of taste and flavor, all our requests were accommodated with kindness and patience, and the owner and all the staff were truly kind and welcoming. I wholeheartedly recommend Dorotea for anyone seeking elegance and taste.

17/03/2026: Beautiful rooms. We explored the other rooms too. They are all very pretty and tastefully decorated. We had dinner too. I’m very impressed with the wine pairing selection. The pork was done very well. We tried their olive oils too and bought one.

08/02/2026: I visited an olive oil factory to tour it. I received a lecture on olive oil from a female staff member. The lecture really showed the passion that goes into making good olive oil and the desire to help people understand the deliciousness of olive oil. I found my favorite during the tasting during the lecture and bought some. It's truly delicious olive oil. I'd like to come back to buy some more. When I do, I'd definitely like to stay overnight and enjoy the food as well as my stay.

09/03/2026: What a great find! Excellent trattoria with a typical Apulian menu and an excellent wine list. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive! Highly recommended!

24/02/2026: A beautiful restaurant, only the interior is a trattoria, but it's truly a pleasant place to be. With the exception of a white pasta dish with cheese, which I can't fault, the rest was excellent, from the food we ordered to the bread and the olives. Special mention goes to the waitress, who was super polite, friendly, and immediately put us at ease. The price is in line with a restaurant that aims to be gourmet.
