I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

29/10/2025: Nice restaurant by the sea, limited parking, great fish, good food, friendly staff! Average prices.

24/10/2025: We arrived by chance and this one did things very well. The place is very quiet at this time of year, a beautiful panorama, excellent cuisine and attentive waiters, what more could you ask for, we will return with great pleasure if the opportunity arises again.

22/02/2026: “Seafood on the table” 🦪🌊 Congratulations! What can I say… quality service, and equally so the food! Happy to have been to this restaurant! The ingredients were truly excellent! Well done! Well done! P.S. Thank you for sheltering us from the cold at the corner table in front of the door.

21/02/2026: Spectacular, taste, service and everything. Thank you.

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.

25/02/2026: The bombette are to die for!!! Great house red wine. Will be coming back again and again and again!!!

24/02/2026: Dear restaurant manager, If you read the review I wrote, I simply explained my experience, which was not positive. Your aggressiveness is completely inappropriate and indicates a lack of customer service. An apology from you would have been enough to put an end to the matter.

06/03/2026: I ate traditional dishes that took me back to my childhood. The place is delicious, the staff attentive and very professional, and the food excellent! I highly recommend it.

20/02/2026: The honey-crusted suckling pig is amazing. The service is friendly and attentive, the place is very welcoming, and the ingredients are top-quality. It brings home the warmth of a family lunch. Thank you Michele and Mariagrazia for this wonderful experience.

09/03/2026: Very welcoming and family-run restaurant with very kind and welcoming people, truly excellent food, I recommend going because it is really very good, and thank you to the staff!

20/02/2026: A quaint, family-run place, it feels like stepping into a period home: warm, welcoming, and comfortable. The kind, smiling lady served us excellent food, prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. We ordered calamarata with fish, fava beans, and chicory, a mixed fried seafood platter, and two exquisite desserts, especially the crunchy almond puff pastry with Chantilly cream. The bill reflects a fair quality-price ratio.

14/03/2026: We felt very, very comfortable here. The food was delicious, authentic, and freshly prepared. We ate there several times during our stay in Bari. The pizza dough is traditionally made with sourdough starter (Lievito Madre) and has a long fermentation period. I was able to chat with the pizza maker and get a piece of dough, which I'll use to make my own.

11/03/2026: Historic restaurant. Always high quality.

13/03/2026: We had booked a table for two at 2:30 PM. When we arrived right on time, they told us we couldn't sit down and we'd have to wait half an hour. After an hour, our table was still unavailable, so we went home. Terrible service.

06/03/2026: Everything was very good, we will return.

14/10/2025: Great seafood, great service, recommend to try the red prawns salt baked. Worth the visit

12/10/2025: Excellent restaurant with fabulous food, but I think the place could use some updating. Impeccable table service.

16/03/2026: Wonderful atmosphere. Highly qualified and helpful staff. A wonderful experience with incredibly delicious dishes. Don't let anyone tell you about it. Mimmo and Angela are fantastic!!

31/01/2026: What a wonderful place. We visited this welcoming restaurant with friends. What can I say? It's a truly charming place. The owner and his wife are truly unique, making you feel like family, as is Mauro, the waiter. Everyone is polite and attentive, practically perfect. Let's move on to the food. Oh my god, everything was excellent, as you can see from the dishes. It's truly a place to stop if you're passing through Giovinazzo. My sincere thanks to Mimmo, Angela, and Mauro for the service we received, a truly unique experience. UNIQUE!

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

18/10/2025: We were here just for dinner - we liked it. It's not the season anymore, so there are very few tourists, and there was no need to book a table in advance - we did it in person the day before without any problems. The staff speaks English. The service is excellent, unobtrusive and appropriate. We didn't take the complimentary wine, but the offered glass of white was very pleasant and went well with dinner. We had a table by the window, but, unfortunately, it was raining heavily all evening, so neither the stars nor the moon above the sea were visible, and in principle nothing was visible out the window)))), but this did not prevent us from enjoying the taste and conversation. In addition to delicious food, the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, beautiful bright design. If we are in these places, we will definitely come back to try the next menu. Thank you for the wonderful experience and mood! Citrus notes in the dishes were wonderful!:)

15/10/2025: I found a warm welcome, hospitality, and excellent, simple vegetarian cuisine, as well as the wine pairings. The dining room and sea view are breathtaking, and even the room I chose with its terrace allowed me to enjoy a wonderful sunrise. Thank you, AnnaLisa and staff.

22/02/2026: A very positive experience, with a welcoming atmosphere and expertly revisited traditional dishes. The live band, which discreetly entertained the diners, was a welcome addition. The wine selection was excellent. The owner's empathetic professionalism made the lunch even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

15/02/2026: The atmosphere and service were definitely good....but I think I'm comparing it more to a restaurant than a pizzeria...because for me, the pizza was a no-no. The appetizers, on the other hand, were excellent.

02/01/2026: Today I had lunch at this restaurant. The food was excellent, I'm exaggerating. In my opinion, it's among the best I've ever had in Salento. It was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely repeat it.

27/12/2025: Excellent food with precisely decorated dishes, qualified waiters, stunning location

26/01/2026: Everything was very good. Recommended.

21/01/2026: This summer I had the opportunity to dine at Ristorante Calvi and the experience was excellent. The quality of the ingredients was top-notch and the service impeccably managed: I was pleasantly surprised, even though I already had moderate to high expectations. Special thanks to the chef for his availability and for taking the time to share tips and quick recipes. A restaurant I would return to without hesitation.
