I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Puglia

05/04/2026: A small, unexpected pizzeria in the heart of Taranto... Delicious appetizers; among all the delicious pizzas, I recommend the Edoardo pizza. Impeccable and very attentive service. The prices are also exceptional... I highly recommend it.

10/01/2026: The pizza was excellent, the goulash exceptional. We're coming back.

08/11/2025: Excellent restaurant as well as welcoming, the treatment was friendly and the food spectacular.

08/08/2025: Delicious pizza - I haven't had such a good one in a long time! Sabrina - the perfect hostess - FANTASTIC!!!! Ambience - simple yet refined My little boy commented - this is truly a first-class restaurant! If you're in Canosa, this restaurant is highly recommended!

25/02/2026: A pleasant, well-kept atmosphere. Typical, home-cooked Apulian cuisine of excellent quality. Highly recommended.

13/02/2026: My friend and I both had stomach upsets after eating the chicken escalope and the grilled chicken, respectively. My meat was really rubbery and full of oil. The quality is evident from the price they offer for the lunch menu, but it remains unacceptable.

30/03/2026: A classic pizzeria with excellent quality products, although prices have gone up a bit lately...

21/03/2026: We booked a table for eight on Saturday, and despite the crowds, we received excellent service, with prompt service between courses. I recommend trying the fried fish, as well as the various appetizers, which are delicious and reasonably priced.

28/02/2026: The panzerotto is truly exceptional. Dry fried, perfectly cooked, and with superb toppings. The best in town, hands down.

07/02/2026: The food is excellent, but there's room for improvement. The wait is a bit long, ranging from 10 to 30 minutes, given the large number of customers. The panzerotti are an 8, and the pizza is a 6, and needs improvement.

11/11/2025: They took a long time to deliver

12/10/2025: Definitely the most wholesome, delicious pizza around! The pizza dough is supposed to rest for 72 hours. This way, nothing sits heavily on the stomach, in my experience.

30/03/2026: Very good pizza. The owner and waiters are really friendly. Highly recommended.

08/02/2026: I have to report two unfortunate incidents: I know the restaurant thanks to The Fork, and after eating there a couple of times, I decided to return and book through the The Fork app. First incident: I booked through The Fork on New Year's Eve with the regular à la carte menu and a 20% discount, with confirmation of the reservation via email. I was contacted a day before and told that the reservation could be confirmed, but the discount would not be applied, and the à la carte menu was transformed into a fixed menu at an unreasonable price. Obviously, my refusal resulted in the cancellation of the reservation, ruining New Year's Eve (but that's understandable). Second incident: Last night, I booked through The Fork for two with a 20% discount, and 1 hour before the booked time, I was contacted and told that they had an issue with the portal and that my reservation could not be confirmed (even though I have the restaurant's confirmation email)! Nor do I speak to friends who use The Fork, and they too have received last-minute cancellations due to technical problems on other days. Repeat offender!!! The doubt remains... and the disappointment is profound!!!

17/03/2026: The decor is simple, but the staff is friendly, the food is good, and the service is fast. You can talk freely.

15/03/2026: Recommended pizzeria... Good value for money... Starters/pizza/cover charge/drinks/dessert/liquor for less than €20 per person... I'll definitely be back!!

13/08/2025: Excellent experience! The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, especially the owner, Mr. Raffaele. The dishes were delicious, carefully prepared, and plentiful: the secret, he told us, was his mother's cooking. There are very few restaurants like this in Salento. Highly recommended!

01/08/2025: The food was good, everything was delicious.

08/04/2026: A welcoming place both in winter and summer with its outdoor seating. The pizza is very good. The staff is friendly and helpful.

05/04/2026: Excellent quality food, comfortable atmosphere. Very kind and friendly owners.

23/02/2026: The pizza was very topped and plentiful. There was no choice between fries, but if you opted for the cacio e pepe, you'd get a huge plate fit for at least four people. The meat wasn't very good, but the quality was disappointing. After this initial impression, you could say it was good. The price was average, but the biggest problem I noticed was that they use pellets for the wood-fired oven, which creates sparks flying around if you look into the oven. Guess where they go? They were everywhere, on the pizza, the meat, and even in the beer. Unfortunately, I only noticed this after my girlfriend noticed this significant detail. The dishes are visually beautiful, but eating soot on and in the beer isn't the best, especially if you notice it at the end. If you look at the pizza, you can see the soot I'm talking about.

18/01/2026: A place that amazed me with the quality of the food served and the professionalism and courtesy of the staff at the tables. It's certainly a child-friendly place, both in terms of the food and especially the large playroom supervised by a babysitter. The front area is suitable for a quiet dinner with friends, and the rear area, adjacent to the children's play area, is suitable for dinners with friends and family.

22/02/2026: The Universo restaurant is truly a universe of flavors and Salento hospitality. I stopped for Sunday lunch and everything was delicious: fresh and tasty dishes, good house wine, and the orange and almond cake that finished it all was excellent. The staff were truly kind and helpful, never intrusive.

08/02/2026: A Sunday Lunch Between Seafood Flavors and Family Warmth There's nothing better than gathering the family around a table filled with the aroma of salt and tradition. Our lunch at Ristorante Universo was a true journey of flavor, an experience that celebrated the quality of the ingredients with a touch of creativity. The variety of dishes made sharing a constant pleasure: We started with a lively mix: from crispy mixed fried fish to classic mixed fried fish (always a surefire hit for adults and children), through to a refreshing octopus and shrimp salad and exquisite au gratin mussels, perfectly golden. The First Courses (The Heart of the Lunch): The real star was the seafood risotto. Perfectly creamed, with a vibrant touch of saffron and more. Equally worthy were the spaghetti all'Adriatica and paccheri agli abissi, rich dishes where the pasta captured every nuance of the sea. Even the French fries, served rustically, lived up to the standards of a carefully crafted lunch. We ended on a high note with a jar of tiramisu, creamy and authentic in flavor, the perfect way to cap off a special Sunday. Ristorante Universo confirms itself as an excellent choice for those seeking the legacy of tradition (the good kind, passed down from generation to generation) combined with attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. A place where "eating well" means feeling at home, but with the privilege of having the best of the catch on your plate. Highly recommended for those who want to turn an ordinary Sunday into a wonderful memory.

23/12/2025: One of the best pizzas in the area. Gluten-free pizza dough also available. Friendly and helpful staff, cozy place.

19/11/2025: There were 6 of us and we ordered 6 different pizzas, one of which was gluten-free, and we were all happy. The pizza was very good, and the fried food was average.

04/04/2026: One of the best restaurants in Bari, fair prices and incredible quality.

01/04/2026: Excellent food, kind and attentive waiter, excellent seafood restaurant
