I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

29/08/2025: Finally found a beach club worth a return visit. Coccaro Beach Club has a pleasant sand beach located within an alcove with the clearest of seas. Bathing is a pleasure and the facilities are clean and complemented by attentive staff. Lunch on the waters edge was accompanied by a pleasant sea breeze, some bubbles and fresh fish. Perfect ingredients for a slow lunch. Menu obviously favours fish but somewhat limiting for the carnivores amongst us. The club is child friendly and quite secure. A good time was had by all. Returned two days later only to have missed an irritating feature that unfortunately downgrades the establishment to just another Italian disappointment. I noticed a €16 discrepancy between two exact bottles of bubbly, one ordered on the beach and the other ordered in the dining area. When queried, I was proudly informed that there is a surcharge for ordering on the beach! The beach and the dining area is equidistant from the bar! I walked it! It is so typically petty and very disappointing from such an establishment to be penny pinching. As if the waiters would not be tipped! Given the mentality I would be surprised if the surcharge is shared with the waiters. Italians have a habit of capping the hospitality experience with unnecessarily annoying but with obvious avariciousness. So few establishments are able to break through this barrier. They comfortably fool themselves that nobody will notice. We all do! Downgrade buffering…

29/08/2025: More expensive than it should be. 40€ per person for only 1 sun bad 🙄. 80€ if u are accompanied.

19/08/2025: Great food just like my grandmother used to make 💕

13/08/2025: Excellent, highly recommended. The typical Gravina dishes are all very good. The staff is friendly and ready to help. If you're coming to Gravina, it's definitely worth stopping by.

09/09/2025: First evening on holiday, found on Google, very nice place with ample parking, equally beautiful location, stunning sea view, dinner a little disappointing for the price paid, also misunderstanding about a €19 appetizer recommended for two and paid €38 I pointed out to the waiter, he replied that the price referred to per person.

04/09/2025: Excellent dishes to enjoy with a sea view. The octopus millefeuille was excellent, and the first courses were delicious (both the tagliatelle with stracciatella and pistachios and the seafood first course). The waiters and the restaurant owner were both kind and attentive. We'll definitely be back.

08/09/2025: We had an unforgettable dinner with a breathtaking view. We were two couples and a baby and the staff made us feel completely welcome . We ordered two linguine with lobster (absolutely delicious), four appetizers, four main dishes, two bottles of wine, and four scroppinos to finish — everything was superb. The service was attentive, the seafood fresh, and the atmosphere elegant but relaxed. Perfect for a special night out with friends or family. Highly recommended — we will definitely return!

07/09/2025: Excellent Tuna and friendly service

03/09/2025: Top experience!! Delicious pizza!

03/09/2025: Delicious food, lovely atmosphere. Loved the pastas and desserts. We have already returned as liked it so much.

26/07/2025: There are experiences that you never forget, and the one we had in this restaurant is undoubtedly one of them. Together with my family, we found ourselves immersed in an authentic, warm and welcoming atmosphere, where every detail seemed designed to make us feel at home... but with something more: respect for tradition, love for cooking and a professionalism that is rarely encountered. As soon as we crossed the threshold, we were greeted by an impeccable staff: discreet, kind, present without ever being intrusive. A composure and care for the guest that struck us right away and that accompanied our entire stay, making it harmonious and relaxing. And then the food... how wonderful. Each dish told a story: that of their land, generous and full of authentic flavors. From the rich and fragrant appetizers, to the expertly prepared second courses, up to the desserts that left a smile on our lips... each bite was a little journey into this wonderful land rich in flavors and tradition. It is rare to find a place where the quality of the cuisine marries so well with the soul of the service and the beauty of the atmosphere. This restaurant gave us a precious moment, made of taste, human warmth and true tradition. We will return, without a doubt.

25/07/2025: Since it's impossible to give less than one star, I'm giving it one star. I've never received worse treatment. In Altamura, there are much, much, much better options.

31/08/2025: Attentive and punctual service. The food is excellent, and the care and quality of the ingredients are evident in the dishes. The only flaw is the organic Coke, which is terrible.

31/08/2025: When at the end of August you're still looking for a thrill, a surprise without the obvious, a quiet corner of quality before returning to work... well, here's the answer. Google "spaghetteria in Bari" but it redirects you to Bitetto and you find yourself in front of a cathedral in the desert. You're greeted by a dazzling smile (rare elsewhere these days) from the staff member, followed by the welcoming spirit of the rest of the staff, including a precise and attentive waiter who, like the waitress, pampers you and assists you in portioning, choosing, and making you feel at home. The location is also surprising inside, and the dishes straddle the line between tradition and innovation without overdoing it, since a chocolate bar of Altamura cream for dessert is nothing if not innovative yet perfectly in keeping with tradition, just like the initial experience with a tasting of crispy bread and locally sourced olive oil. What can I say? 5/4/5/5 is my rating, because the missing star will be added next time I try the carbonara and a dessert with almonds (from Toritto, I'd say) and pure dark chocolate, which I know the staff will embrace as my dream and make it a reality! I'm counting on it! The atmosphere was also great after dinner: a quiet area, smiling residents, and no digestive issues, confirming the quality of the ingredients. P.S.: The table overlooking the kitchen was also strategic, from which I glimpsed the unique cacio e pepe preparation and even a few tastings here and there from the staff. And when the staff eats what you eat, you no longer have any doubts about the quality. Thanks for making us feel good.

02/09/2025: They could be more polite, I'm referring in particular to a waiter who was rude and arrogant simply because we asked how long we'd have to wait to be seated. I simply say one thing: "If this job is done reluctantly, wouldn't it be better to step aside and make room for those who do it with dedication and patience?"

31/08/2025: Our pizza cravings were satisfied at this very friendly pizzeria. The staff was welcoming and friendly. A reliable address.

03/08/2025: Abbiamo mangiato benissimo un antipasto direi speciale: bruschetta con gambero crudo e burrata (consigliato) e di primo spaghetti alle vongole veramente buoni , persone disponibile e molto gentile servizio veloce . Qualità prezzo ottima in centro a Gallipoli

02/08/2025: The best restaurant in Gallipoli! I went there last year, went back this year, and will return next year! Tasty, generous dishes. Friendly staff. VALÉRIE "ALICIE FRITTE, ORECCHIETTE DI MARE, FALANGHINA"

03/09/2025: Positive experience, good food, and flawless service. It would be even nicer if all the tables were set out in the garden, surrounded by greenery, with softer, more diffused lighting instead of the current "stadium lights" 😂😂. With that added touch of charm, the atmosphere would be truly perfect. All in all, a lovely evening.

29/08/2025: Very nice location, greeted by friendly and professional staff who recommended what to eat. Good food, highly recommended.

28/08/2025: Everything was delicious with top staff.

27/08/2025: The restaurant is very well-kept, beautifully decorated, and the staff is very friendly and professional, ready to advise you on the dishes. The broad beans with chicory are very good. The orecchiette with turnip tops are superb. The lamb is delicious. Very secure parking. Well done.

18/08/2025: More than a pizzeria, it's a wonderful place to meet and chat, obviously enjoying excellent food served with skill by the owner Donato (a great person) and his impeccable staff. The appetizers and obviously the gourmet pizzas are highly recommended.

16/08/2025: Everything...but I mean everything...delicious....quality...service and price.

25/08/2025: For us, it remains our favorite place. A large counter with a wide selection of very fresh meat that you can choose on the spot and it's cooked right away. The interior is spacious and bright, while the outside is a bit cramped, but pleasant. Excellent service and very friendly, helpful staff.

21/08/2025: The meat is amazing and at a great price! From this perspective, La Locanda del Macellaio is highly recommended. However, I must point out two major problems (which could be largely resolved with the owners' goodwill). Hygiene. The raw meat (which customers select at the counter before being assigned a table) is handled with bare hands by a person who alternates serving at the counter with every other activity. He touches people, objects, chairs, his own clothes, his own nose, and finally the meat. A whole different level of hygiene is required, and it wouldn't take much. Second problem: ventilation. The interior is not ventilated at all, and evidently the grill hood doesn't extract air properly. The result: the room was slightly foggy and had a constant smell of smoke. I reiterate the positive aspects for which, overall, I would recommend La Locanda: quality and price!

22/08/2025: The waitress was realy mean and ignore our table so we have to go to the counter and it ruined experience for us.

21/08/2025: I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place – completely by accident! The service was incredibly friendly and, despite not having a reservation, went out of their way to find us a table. All the dishes we ordered: octopus salad, panzerotti, spaghetti with meatballs and clams, fried calamari, and tiramisu were truly delicious. The excellent wine complemented everything perfectly, elevating the entire experience.

08/09/2025: It was recommended to me by friends who are frequent diners at this restaurant. I had dinner there for my birthday and it was a pleasant and relaxing evening. The location is welcoming and the wait staff are courteous, smiling, and very professional. In fact, I believe the service is the highlight of this restaurant. The products are very fresh and beautifully presented. I personally prefer to enjoy raw fish au naturel, without any toppings or sauce, even though it pairs well with the bold flavors of the fish. The grilled fish was fantastic, as were the desserts. The bill was fair and reasonable considering the quality/price ratio.

05/09/2025: A place to linger, with excellent food and excellent service. Keep up the good work... kind regards
