I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

12/04/2026: Very good. Good food and very friendly staff.

09/04/2026: Dinner with friends, the food wasn't great. Poor dishes, high prices. I don't think I'll go back again. My personal experience. Dessert with sour ricotta, which they wanted to charge on the bill, but when we complained, they had to separate it.

14/04/2026: A very charming place, surrounded by greenery; excellent service, with extremely kind and attentive staff; not to mention the excellent food!!! We especially thank Mr. Andrea, who pampers us so much every time we stay here.

09/04/2026: Very kind staff, all the dishes were excellent. Congratulations ❤️

19/04/2026: Perfect Sunday lunch. Mrs. Marcy's welcome was superb, making us feel right at home. The dishes were tasty and gluten-free. The cleanliness deserves a special mention. A peek into Mr. Sergione's kitchen: impeccable, as was the service. Fast service and delicious desserts, with truly superb artisanal vanilla ice cream. Authentic management, just like the ones of the past!

16/04/2026: Good, generous portions of local dishes. Delicious homemade dessert. Friendly and attentive waiters. I recommend it.

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.

03/05/2026: It was our first time here at Il Cortiletto and we were truly thrilled! We recommend it, especially if, like us, you want to take advantage of its strategic location in the historic center, just steps from the Archaeological Museum (also recommended!). The staff is welcoming, and the dishes blend local products with innovative flavors. The dishes are always balanced yet tasty, and every choice reveals thoughtful consideration. The dining room seats no more than 50 people, but this makes the experience even more special and intimate. We'll definitely be back!

28/04/2026: A charming place and delicious cuisine. The chef is amazing. The owners' hospitality and courtesy are impeccable. I always love returning for a business lunch or a romantic dinner.

05/04/2026: The "La Fattoria" restaurant is almost an institution in Taranto, on par with other famous and renowned establishments whose names I won't mention. But this time (I hadn't dined here in many years), the experience was rather negative. It's an old-fashioned restaurant, nothing changed from many years ago. A table for seven, Sunday lunch to celebrate an event. An endless wait. From 1:30 to 2:45 PM for the appetizers to be served. I must say, they were good quality. Three seafood courses and three meat courses. The fish cart was presented with an invitation to choose the finest cuts; we chose the lobster. The lobster paccheri (two dishes) arrived hard, not al dente, and salty (but that's a personal preference). The lobster, however, wasn't the one shown to us (I'm absolutely convinced, without a shadow of a doubt; it was frozen, had very little flavor, and was rubbery). The scialatielli with clams (2 dishes) were also very flavorless, and the clams weren't highlighted (lots of empty shells on the plate). The birthday boy's seafood risotto (I was extremely disappointed) never arrived (after numerous requests, each with the following responses: 1) it's cooking; 2) we're fixing it; 3) I'll let you know right away; 3) there's a problem, I can bring you something else). The guest at the table, now disappointed and angry, opted for a quick (so he said) plate of prawns (we were already choosing desserts). The last course was a simple pasta with tomato sauce for the boy who doesn't eat fish (I tried it and it was MasterChef-level, who was excluded from the selections). Obviously, we're not the type to argue. We knew many important and well-known customers from Taranto at the restaurant who aren't interested in acting. We expressed our disappointment, but despite the poor service, we paid a lot and without even a hint of a discount for the awful meal. Kudos to the pastry shop that supplies the desserts and to the Rosato Tramari winery, which always confirms the quality. I obviously won't be returning to this place, which unfortunately has no customer service whatsoever.

13/03/2026: Excellent restaurant. Excellent seafood. Recommended.

27/01/2026: Coming here isn't just about enjoying a simple dinner, but rather a true experience that engages both the eyes and the palate. The tables overlooking the sea offer a breathtaking view, while the chef leads guests on an intense and surprising gastronomic journey through his seven creations. Making everything even more special is the impeccable welcome: Annalisa and her staff take care of every detail with care and warmth. My sincere compliments.

09/01/2026: Found it by chance, and luckily a table had just become available! Welcoming place, exceptional service, and very friendly staff…Roberto first and foremost! Excellent, top-quality food! Highly recommended 😃

21/12/2025: Amidst the alleys of Locorotondo's historic center, decked out for Christmas, lies the "Ai Tre Santi" restaurant. Appetizers, first courses, and second courses... absolutely delicious. The photos demonstrate the meticulous presentation of the dishes and the excellent ingredients. The result is simply superb!

12/05/2026: Excellent service for all events. Varied and well-prepared culinary offerings. Definitely worth a try.

09/05/2026: A truly delightful experience. I'll be back.

06/04/2026: Extremely slow service aside... almost no consideration for lactose intolerant guests. If you don't like sea urchins, pasta and tomato, or no first course... I don't think I'll be back!

04/04/2026: I fell in love. Wonderful place, very good food, and very kind staff. We truly were in paradise on earth.

30/03/2026: A gastronomic gem located in the heart of Lecce, just steps from Porta Napoli. The atmosphere of the various dining rooms is made warm, welcoming, and intimate not only by the soft lighting but also by the pleasant background music. Meals are simple yet elegant. The menu offers both seafood and meat dishes, ranging from traditional dishes (some with a modern twist) to more innovative and captivating combinations, the result of careful research by the kitchen. HIGH-QUALITY, FRESH RAW MATERIALS, enhanced by the chefs' expertise; the attention to balancing flavors and the highly visual composition of the dishes; and PERFECT COOKING make this restaurant one of the BEST in the area. The KIND, HELPFUL, PROFESSIONAL and NON-PRESSURE SERVICE, which will make you feel pampered and the NORMAL WAITING TIMES, contribute to making the experience pleasant and absolutely worth repeating.

29/03/2026: Fabulous staff, every single one of them! Great environment and beautifully decorated and clean. Food was absolutely exquisite!

18/04/2026: We were there for a ceremony... excellent quality food, fast service, very efficient and very kind staff

12/04/2026: I'm still sitting here, and it's not usually like me to be so hasty... but I can't help but write how happy I am to have discovered this wonderful trattoria. Everything, and I mean everything, is super good, and by good, I mean "Really" good. Every dish has a flavor that leaves its mark... every dish created and cooked with dedication. My heartfelt compliments... and a big thank you to all the super helpful and kind staff. Thank you so much for everything. I savored everything with a big ❤️

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.

18/01/2026: If you want to experience Cisternino's true gastronomic experience, a stop at Zio Pietro is a must. Here, you don't consult a paper menu; you "read" it with your eyes, right at the butcher's counter. ​The Experience: The ritual is fascinating: as soon as you enter, you line up in front of the meat counter. The selection is vast and of the highest quality. It's impossible not to order the famous bombette (cheese-filled capocollo rolls, available in several variations), the livers (gnumeredd), and the knife-point sausage. Once you've chosen your meat, it's weighed and sent directly to the "fornello" (the traditional Apulian vertical oven) for slow, even cooking. ​The Food: The meat is simply exceptional: tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with that subtle hint of embers that only a traditional stove can provide. The traditional side dishes are also excellent; I loved the pickled vegetables. ​The Atmosphere: The atmosphere is rustic, welcoming, and authentic. You can feel the atmosphere of old-fashioned shops. The staff is quick and friendly, despite the constant crowds (a clear sign that this place deserves it).

17/01/2026: If you wish to experience freshly prepared, and perfectly grilled meat of Puglia, arm your self with the patient. First you will need to q to select the meat from the butchers fresh counter, afterwards it's the table waiting, and at the end food preparation time. However, it is absolutely worth, because that was the most tender and juicest grilled meat I have tasted.
