I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Puglia

27/10/2025: A historic Bari restaurant that thrives, I believe, thanks to its longtime customers. If you're a new customer, like me, you'll be easily ignored by the waiters in the dining room, but if you don't return, they can count on the people they chat with at the tables, offering different dishes and service. I order the house appetizer, but unlike the table next to mine, I don't get the grilled eggplant and peppers. Other tables order fried raw seafood, which isn't on the menu. I also order an excellent fried seafood platter. The baked pasta is forgettable, and the spaghetti with mussels is adequate. I won't be returning, especially because of the terrible service.

24/10/2025: It's a reminder of my memories, but it was disappointing to return, and I don't know if it's because of the nostalgia or because we didn't eat very well. I apologize to the owners, but I really can't give it a 5-star rating.

18/10/2025: I wouldn't go back even if they paid me. The place was extremely hot, the food terrible, the pizza tasted like rubber, the mozzarella tasted rubbery, and the sauce was clearly diluted with water. Terrible. To top it off, a terrible stomach ache.

11/10/2025: A stop on the road: I got in within 50 minutes, was served a delicious burnt wheat Margherita, and was off again! Great place, and the pizza had a strange appearance due to the color of the flour, but despite the color, it was truly delicious. I recommend trying it!! Compliments for the food and the courtesy.

04/10/2025: Don't be influenced by other people's opinions. Great food, delicious pizza, mussels, and seafood pasta. A wonderful, homey atmosphere. Mostly locals. A very good Aperol Spritz. Finally, dessert, Tiramisu – the best we've ever had, insane. 🙂🇮🇹👌 I recommend it. Don't be influenced by other people's opinions. Wonderful food, delicious pizza, mussels, and seafood pasta. A lovely, homely atmosphere with mostly local guests. Excellent Aperol Spritz. To finish, dessert – Tiramisu, the best we've ever had in our lives, absolutely divine. 🙂🇮🇹👌 Highly recommended! I don't like other people's opinions. You're an excellent, delicious pizza, delicious pasta, and delicious seafood. Atmosphere accogliente e familiare, frequentata soprattutto da gente del posto. Aperol Spritz ottimo. Per finire, il dessert – il tiramisù, il migliore che abbiamo mai mangiato, semplicemente divino. 🙂🇮🇹👌 Consigliatissimo!

28/09/2025: The pizzas and their canned lemonade are good. Staff were also friendly. And their garden was very beautiful.

01/11/2025: We visited this restaurant on All Saints' Day, November 1st. We started with a revisited parmigiana (sea bass and capicollo), seafood crudités, and an excellent mix of cooked antipasti. Next, hazelnut-crusted red tuna with saffron potatoes, and seared octopus on pistachio cream. For the first course, a ravioli with burrata cream, shrimp, and zucchini chips. I was speechless. And another first course, semolina gnocchi with scampi and lime. For the second course, we sampled the almond-crusted swordfish ingot with potato flan, which we had sampled among the antipasti. To finish on a sweet note, the sporcamuss-millefeuille with custard and berries was a fitting conclusion to this food and wine journey. I'm always traveling, between Puglia, Lazio, and Romagna, but if I were to return, I would gladly return.

27/10/2025: Excellent seafood restaurant. The service is rather fun and cheerful, but it does the job. The food is fresh, well prepared. I also recommend the desserts.

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.

13/09/2025: Everything very good and the staff very kind and helpful

07/09/2025: Worst sandwich I've ever eaten, and incredibly expensive! Free Pac-Man at the door is brilliant!

18/10/2025: The best food in Ostuni! We had a fantastic full Italian experience. We shared the aubergine flan, the seafood and burrata pasta, the fava bean, and then the tuna and cod mains which were both amazing. Would recommend booking

17/10/2025: Simply PERFECT. Our best restaurant in Italy. The service was impeccable, with a very friendly, warm, and attentive staff. The dishes were divine and the flavors exceptional. Quality cuisine, I recommend it 100%! Remember to make a reservation as there are only a few seats and the dining room is small, but there was no inconvenience; it was quiet, and the tables were well spaced apart. In short, it was perfect.

17/09/2025: Good, light pizza, made with quality ingredients. Wide selection, including organic flours for the dough. Quick and efficient service. Space between tables is limited, but it's still comfortable. Absolutely balanced quality/price ratio. Recommended.

15/09/2025: Excellent ingredients, especially the toppings, though the base was a little too thin for my taste. The dough was light and digestible, not burnt. Fast service.

30/08/2025: Excellent products. Professional and friendly staff. Maximum attention to hygiene (a rare thing, and one I care deeply about). Highly recommended! P.S. I recommend booking in advance.

29/08/2025: Very quiet place to chill perfect for those who want a quick pizza

26/10/2025: This restaurant is highly recommended, whether you're in the area or as a culinary destination in Salento. The quality of the ingredients and the high-quality cuisine are all at prices in line with the area. Excellent service and very friendly staff. Ask them for advice on the catch of the day; it's worth it.

15/10/2025: You often eat well in Salento, but here we are in a completely different category... congratulations indeed!

27/10/2025: You choose from a huge selection of meats then you sit down and order the sides and drinks, everything is very good and the price is reasonable

19/10/2025: The salita vale la pena. Diverse and authentic!! Authentic and a little different Friendly and very nice!!

19/10/2025: We stayed at this hotel for two weeks, and what can I say? "Everything was perfect." We thank Cosimo, Valentina, and the entire staff for their professionalism and courtesy. Thanks to chef Mimmo, who pampered us with his dishes. A special thanks to maître d', Angelo, who attentively attended to our needs with great professionalism, making us feel at ease. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and linens were changed daily. We hope to see you again soon for another stay.

03/09/2025: Everything was perfect. It's hard for me to find a flaw in the hotel. We've been coming here for six years, and every year it's simply welcoming. Cosimo and Valentina are fantastic. Always available and ready to solve any problem, should we have any. We can't forget Sabino, one of their great collaborators. The Rinelli Hotel has two refined restaurants, one more beautiful than the other, with "land and sea" menus that change daily. It also has several B&B apartments, built with a very beautiful architectural style, overlooking the beach promenade. We will definitely be back. Thank you for being here.

10/10/2025: Very welcoming place, kind and helpful staff, the meat is excellent, every time I go to Specchia I eat at this place.

08/10/2025: Come back to evaluate other dishes

21/11/2025: A unique venue in an old but beautifully kept setting... elegant... spotlessly clean (including the bathroom)... impeccable service and excellent food... I particularly enjoyed the house appetizer!! Well done!

07/11/2025: Impeccable service from start to finish, with attentive, friendly, and attentive staff, without ever being intrusive. The setting is quaint, with attention to detail, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes the experience even more enjoyable. Every course, from appetizer to dessert, was perfect: quality ingredients, balanced flavors, and meticulous presentation. A truly memorable dinner, both for its flavor and hospitality. Highly recommended.

16/11/2025: Superb quality, friendly and impeccable service, and an enchanting location: truly a great way to celebrate a special family occasion!

05/11/2025: Come in Famiglia, these three simple words can make my experience in this restaurant clear. Those who occasionally read my reviews know well that I don't like eating in Gallipoli, not because of the amount of money one spends but because of the possible negative experience one might have. Well, today that wasn't the case. I would finally say that I had been passing by the seafront near the cold storage units for many years (once upon a time when the fishing boats arrived with the fish, they arrived right in front of these enormous cold storage units) and every time we passed by this place it was always full (summer period), so we went elsewhere to eat. But today here we are at 7:45 pm, the place is open and there are only diners, the owner and the Metre are there to welcome us, they welcome us with a big smile and here we are with the QR code we order, a chat with the owners and here come our dishes "Rich, abundant, and above all GOOD". I haven't posted any photos of the dishes because they have already been published by other diners, but only the bill, in my opinion. Correct for what we ate. Best regards to the owner, and see you next time.
