I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

16/05/2026: Friendly owner, excellent meat and super-efficient service.

11/05/2026: Excellent meats and great variety, rude and impolite staff

18/05/2026: Excellent restaurant with typical Apulian dishes. The eggplant and mozzarella appetizer was more than enough for two people. The orriechete with polpete and tomato sauce was excellent. The homemade tiramisu was very good. The restaurant's dining room is very pleasant with soft music and impeccable service.

18/05/2026: It was a very relaxed dining experience.

11/06/2026: Small and charming restaurant - very good food and authentic cuisine friendly service and good food at a fair price pizza, pasta and risotto excellent the risotto for two was delicious next to a small park with a playground for children

07/06/2026: Excellent food and very friendly staff. We were extremely satisfied.

28/02/2026: It deserves an extra 🌟. Everything is excellent.

03/05/2026: Beautiful restaurant, first class service and impeccable cooking. I can't recommend Antica Osteria La Sciabica highly enough.

03/05/2026: We especially enjoyed the octopus potato starter, but the pastas were also excellent! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with maritime artefacts and has a cozy rustic vibe. Staff were friendly and attentive.

08/03/2026: Unfortunately, there's no point in serving excellent food when you're then forced to SCREAM to converse with your guests at the table, given the screams and shouts of rude children running around the tables the entire time, with their parents completely indifferent. Unfortunately, in Vieste, when there are no tourists, this seems to be normal, as the same thing has happened to me in other places. Perhaps a separate dining room or a children's area would be a good idea. The service also isn't commensurate with the price, which is quite high. The exterior, a beautiful olive grove, deserves special mention.

23/10/2025: Review: Chalet Degli Ulivi (visit in August 2025) Unfortunately, our visit was a disappointment – ​​even though we were really looking forward to it after reading so many good reviews. The service was completely overwhelmed: only one waiter was allowed to take orders, the others seemed to wander around aimlessly, only allowed to serve or clear away. The wait was correspondingly long – and even when our glasses were long empty, no one thought to ask if we wanted something else to drink. Our child's meal arrived 20 minutes before the adults', and our plates arrived one by one with an even longer delay. Nothing is more uncomfortable than when one person at a table is already finished while another is just getting started. The playground area was also a disappointment: there was a charge, although this wasn't clearly communicated anywhere – neither on the website nor on Facebook. We came specifically for that. Food? Mediocre. The pasta and pizza were okay, the meat was actually good – but when the wrong side dishes arrive (four sad potato slices for €5 instead of fries!) and the "mixed salad" consists only of green salad, without the fennel or cucumbers as advertised, you eventually lose patience. The ambiance is nice, yes. But a beautiful wooden house alone doesn't make a good restaurant. Anyone who relies on its view instead of organization, service, and honesty won't have satisfied customers in the long run. By the way, we then had to wait another 30 minutes for the bill – a worthy end to a frustrating evening. Conclusion: Nice restaurant, unfortunately with a lot of show and little substance. Three stars – only because the meat was really good.

05/05/2026: We went to this tavern with a taste of times gone by for a family dinner. We went to Bovino to introduce our children to their father's hometown. We stopped at this tavern. It was where I rediscovered the cuisine and flavors of when I was little and my parents took me to the village for the summer. I was very surprised to be able to taste the typical dishes that brought back my childhood memories. Thank you Saverio for this experience. Wonderful person who makes you feel at home.

05/05/2026: Wonderful place and excellent food Impeccable service

13/05/2026: Dinner for two. Excellent food, friendly staff.

10/05/2026: The quality of the welcome and service was remarkable, the cuisine exceptional; it brought back the flavors and tastes of our childhood.

15/05/2026: The food was good, local dishes were excellently cooked! We had a great time!

12/05/2026: A wonderful discovery! A very pleasant family restaurant. The owners are welcoming and the food is excellent. We personally thoroughly enjoyed it. The products are homemade, prepared by the mother. I highly recommend it and hope you'll enjoy it too. The lamb was delicious!

31/05/2026: We went to this restaurant yesterday to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. What can I say? It's a very elegant restaurant, with attentive and polite staff and delicious food. If you're near Lecce, I highly recommend it!

29/05/2026: We originally wanted to dine at the restaurant across the street, but unfortunately we were unable to get a reservation, so we decided to try this restaurant instead. We ordered a combination of the four-course tasting menu (€50 per person) and were extremely disappointed with both the food quality and the overall experience. Shortly after the meal, we became sick. As a professional chef from California, I was particularly concerned about the quality and freshness of the seafood. The tuna showed signs of discoloration that suggested it was no longer fresh, and the shrimp tasted as if it had expired. It felt as though ingredients left over from the previous day were being served to guests. When our pasta course arrived, we decided not to continue with the meal and informed the staff that we wished to leave. Rather than addressing our concerns professionally, the owner approached us in an aggressive and unprofessional manner. Despite our dissatisfaction, I still paid half of the bill as a gesture of fairness. A restaurant’s response to customer concerns is just as important as the food itself. Instead of becoming confrontational, a simple apology and an effort to resolve the situation would have been appreciated. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I have had in Italy, and I cannot recommend this restaurant.

19/05/2026: Tonight was the perfect dinner, even with a surprise... Congratulations on the excellent ingredients and the well-prepared dishes. We'll be back 🥰

30/04/2026: Fresh, amazing seafood and setting, wonderful service, memorable. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

07/06/2026: We visited this wonderful restaurant in the hilly area of ​​Monopoli for Mother's Day and returned for a family Sunday. What can I say? Both times, the lunch was sublime: exceptional raw seafood, sublime fish, and the staff was professional, competent, and above all attentive. A special mention goes to Mr. Bartolomeo, the owner, a wonderful person, disarmingly kind. I absolutely highly recommend this corner of paradise. Chimenti Family

15/05/2026: For starters, we had raw seafood, very fresh, a delight: langoustines, shrimp, mussels, and cockles. The seafood risotto had firm yet creamy rice, but we didn't really see any seafood in it—something to keep in mind in the kitchen 😉. We had a tasting of syrups/alcohol, which was interesting. Panna cotta with homemade syrup. And a very good wine recommended by the waiter.

29/04/2026: Everything was great. The service deserves 6 stars, but I can't give it any. Antonio was fantastic.

24/04/2026: Wonderful food, even better service. I felt like I was in the movie Ratatouille; I wished the fairy tale character was cooking for me. I could feel the Italian atmosphere and observe how native Italians live and spend their time. Definitely yes!

09/06/2026: A very nice culinary experience. The service was a bit slow, but the setting is lovely if you book in advance. We were there on Bastille Day, so it was very crowded and we were stuck in a passageway.

05/06/2026: Fantastic restaurant. The service was exceptional. The food so fresh and beautifully prepared. The chef prepared off menu dishes for a gluten free member of oour party. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation. Wonderful.

25/05/2026: Leaving a restaurant with a satisfied smile is quite rare these days. I hadn't been back to "Da Amedeo" in a while. A quick but substantial lunch, the appetizer of eggplant rolls with cod was excellent, but chef Andrea surprised me with this excellent dish, made with few ingredients but wonderfully prepared: spaghetti with mussels, yellow cherry tomatoes, and zucchini flowers, a hint of lime for a touch of class. The icing on the cake was the mopping up of the bread with his own bread. Top 👏👏👏

15/05/2026: We had dinner here one evening in May and were very well looked after by the owners. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was tasteful and cozy!
