I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

04/05/2026: I went there for lunch for the first time with friends and family on Sunday, May 3, 2026. We were welcomed into a welcoming atmosphere and immediately felt at home. When the dishes arrived, we were delighted: I had seafood linguine, fried fish, and almond cake. I would recommend everything because everything was so fresh (for example, the fried shrimp peeled easily) and the portions were generous. What can I say: we'll be back! Highly recommended.

03/05/2026: A unique, simple, and peaceful spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The restaurant is located inside an old building with high ceilings. It stands very close to a former tobacco factory, closed at the end of Mussolini's reign: the village was created because of (or thanks to) this factory. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The menu, translated into French, is available online, and the dishes are photographed. Note that the lemon sorbet is not actually a sorbet but a lemon cream. We were lucky enough to try (and thoroughly enjoyed) a homemade local digestif made with wild fennel. We highly recommend this place!

14/10/2025: Simply wow. Simply delicious and a fantastic view to boot ☀️🇮🇹❤️

10/10/2025: The best ravioli with tomato sauce in Italy! Meals made with garden produce. The lemon sorbet with locally produced amaro is irresistible! A stop at this restaurant is a must on this mountain road if you're passing through Gargano.

16/05/2026: A must visit place to dinner in Bari. We had seafood pasta (shrimp and lobster). The quality of the product was amazing, coming from a Spanish person. We also had the desserts and they are truly handmade. The tiramisu was great but the gelatto was really incredible and without queuing, like other touristic places.

15/05/2026: A place where the bill is more impressive than the lunch itself. Average food, high prices, and street vendors walking inside bothering people while they eat. Not the experience I expected.

29/05/2026: Our wedding at this splendid venue was exactly how we'd always dreamed. Everything was impeccably organized, with an attention to detail that left us and our guests truly enchanted. The decor was elegant and refined, the food excellent from start to finish, and the atmosphere magical throughout the day. But the real added value was the staff: professional, attentive, and always attentive to our every need. A special thank you to Martina, Massimo, Gianfilippo, and Antonio, extraordinary people who looked after us with love and dedication, making us feel special and truly pampered. They helped make our day unforgettable, transforming it into a true fairytale. Thank you so much for everything you did for us! ❤️

24/05/2026: We thank you for allowing us to experience our unforgettable wedding! The venue's decor, the high-quality food, the helpfulness of the entire team, and above all, the constant presence, professionalism, and support of Maria Teresa Conoci, who guided us from the very first decisions! The meticulous attention paid by the restaurant manager Massimo Marra to us and all our guests, and also the availability of Gianfilippo Amato throughout the reception! In thanking you for making our day simply perfect, we can say we would choose you again with our eyes closed! Thank you! Emanuele and Enrica

21/05/2026: Beautiful setting, excellent food. A shame there was no menu in French or QR code.

17/05/2026: Very good typical Apulian cuisine, the interior setting is lovely, we didn't try the small terrace because the weather was still cool.

03/05/2026: A quaint restaurant in the city center. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly service from the start, with complimentary appetizers and desserts. The Pancotto is not to be missed!

27/04/2026: Rustic atmosphere, informal yet attentive service. Friendly service. You feel at ease, and the food is delicious. Recommended.

11/06/2026: Great menu. Beautiful food. Lovely restaurant.

04/06/2026: A lovely spot in Monopoli. We ordered orecchiette with seafood and rigatoni with octopus. As a welcome, we received a small appetizer of tomato bruschetta and bread polpette. Nothing extraordinary, but a nice touch. The food seemed authentic and the dishes were good. It's an excellent option for a simple, relaxed local lunch. The service is laid-back and the atmosphere is peaceful. A great place to discover the cuisine of Puglia.

14/06/2026: We just left this beautiful medieval-themed restaurant; my dad said, "You've got a review right away." And here it is! The staff welcomed us with kindness and hospitality, the food was excellent. And Pasquale is simply exceptional! I highly recommend it ❤️

26/05/2026: We were greeted with professionalism and kindness, even though it was almost closing time. Regional cuisine, simple and tasty. Excellent value for money. I recommend it.

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.

03/05/2026: The food could be ok but the service takes forever….

03/05/2026: Takes an hour to even ask for our order…..

12/05/2026: I am a local (from Puglia ) and I must say that the food in this restaurant is amazing. We had the appetizer with 5 dishes, the risotto and the cavatelli with seafood, the wine of the house. The dishes are abundant and you won't be disappointed by the quality. The owner is super friendly and nice. I strongly advice this place if you are a local like or a tourist, I will definitely come back again if I'll pass by Polignano.

11/05/2026: We came on the recommendation of a local, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The pasta was simply amazing. I would definitely return!

08/06/2026: Excellent food and wines with an hospitalty to dream off.

05/06/2026: Nice restaurant with good food. Unfortunately, the waiter pressured us to order so much that we found it really stressful.

12/06/2026: A traditional country farmhouse where you can enjoy the peace and quiet and rural life. Excellent service and room.

10/06/2026: The most amazing place! Wonderful room and grounds - we wish we had more time to explore the surronding areas - and fantastic service and food!

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!
