I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Puglia

31/01/2026: Terrible evening, I wouldn't even give it one star. We arrive at 8:30 pm, we order pizzas after an hour and a half nothing arrives, we get up to leave and they don't even notice that they haven't brought anything to our table, it seems like they came down from the clouds, never again!

26/01/2026: Biblical wait times both for the pizza and to pay. At least a pizza chef's help is the least we can do.

19/09/2025: It feels like being at home and not in a hotel 😉

07/09/2025: Centrally located hotel, a little dated but comfortable, very clean, and smells great. Italian breakfast is served at the café downstairs. Parking is available with a pass in the paid area in front of the entrance. Friendly and helpful staff.

14/02/2026: Good evening, this pizzeria is never to be called again, they don't respect the opening hours, I've been waiting since 8.30pm, it's 10.27pm, nobody comes and they don't answer the phone and they even get paid

20/01/2026: Superb pizza. Superb quality of ingredients. Amazing dough. Maximum flavor. I would recommend it to anyone, great Nico 🍕

18/02/2026: Historic restaurant with a good variety of dishes, but service is a bit slow. The atmosphere is really nice. Recommended if you're looking for a pleasant evening.

11/02/2026: I've been to Pizzeria Scacciapensieri and overall the experience was very positive. The pizza is well-leavened, light and easy to digest, with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The cooking is excellent, especially for those who love a soft yet well-structured crust. The place is welcoming and informal, ideal for an evening with family or friends. The staff is friendly and helpful, even during busy periods. The only small point: on busier days, the wait can be a bit longer, but nothing that ruins the evening. Overall, a pizzeria I recommend and would gladly return to. 🍕

21/09/2025: I was at a birthday party... beautiful location, a charming terrace overlooking the sea, good food, very friendly staff. The bathrooms should be cleaned during the evenings, because the rudeness of the people makes it necessary.

31/08/2025: An excellent option for those who love comfort like me. There are options for everyone: umbrellas on the pier, and above the pool on the deck, or rows of umbrellas on the beach. You can rent towels for €5 each. There are showers, a restaurant, and restrooms. Obviously, all of this costs more than a regular beach, but I found the rates reasonable. In my case: 3 people - 3 loungers - 1 umbrella - 2 towels rented for €80 above the pool area (the most expensive). I think it's fair for these days. I'm not giving it 5 stars only because the sea isn't the best, with lots of seaweed.

23/09/2025: On the beach, simple, popular, sea, breeze and good food.

22/12/2025: Dragged by friends About this place, I have to say, "neither praise nor infamy." Personally, I don't think I'll go back.

17/11/2025: Excellent pizza and first courses

26/02/2026: Sublime experience, the owner was very kind and the dinner was truly delicious. I had pizza and my partner a plate of mixed meat skewers, then a bottle of wine and coffee to finish. Recommended.

24/11/2025: Good food and stuff very nice 👍 Good 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 ،،👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

04/01/2026: We went last night by chance, and everything we ordered was delivered on time. But in my opinion, it doesn't matter if the food arrives quickly or slowly. What matters is that if there's a bit of a wait, the only thing that matters is the quality, and for my wife and I, it was there. Thank you so much, see you next time. Best regards Gianni T.

02/11/2025: Rude staff, terrible food, horrible place, I don't recommend it to anyone

26/10/2025: The panzerotto was okay, but nothing special; the mozzarella had a strange smell. The potato croquettes were good, but a little cold.

24/10/2025: Delivery and carryout, delicious pizza at a good price

14/09/2025: It's mid-September, but don't stay open if you don't want to. We waited a quarter of an hour and the managers were going back and forth on their phones and closing doors. Then we asked if anyone was coming and they told us they'd close at 7:00 PM. It was 6:00 PM!!🤣

26/08/2025: Today I had to attend a dear friend's party, and I read the owners' response saying that one person in the group did not have a green pass... it's false, the person had taken the swab. And we also know of the various excuses made by the owners to avoid the party by inviting the birthday girl to go to another place and that they would have eaten the fish.

20/09/2025: Excellent service, high-quality ingredients, and sublime pizza. Try the homemade fries with their homemade sauces. Top...

17/08/2025: Nice variety of pizzas, but the dough is too thin for my taste. Beautiful location. I should mention, as an unpleasant gesture, the surcharge of a few euros when setting up card payment. The receipt didn't even show any details. It's a shame, it shows absolute disrespect towards the customer.

08/01/2026: I've only been there once a few years ago, but since I hadn't left a review at the time, I wanted to do so now. The overall experience was very positive and left me with fond memories. The restaurant is located on the Giovinazzo seafront, with a truly spectacular view of the sea, creating the perfect atmosphere for a sunset dinner or a relaxed lunch. The setting is welcoming, clean, and tidy, and of medium size: spacious enough for small groups or families to dine comfortably without feeling crowded. The staff has always been friendly, kind, and helpful, ready to recommend the daily specials or accommodate guests' requests. Even at the busiest times, their attentiveness and courtesy remain evident, making the experience pleasant. The food is truly excellent: specialties include quality pizza, fresh fish dishes, seafood, and carefully selected appetizers, all prepared with genuine ingredients and beautifully presented. The portions are generous and satisfying, without being heavy, and the flavors are authentic and well-balanced. Prices are average and absolutely reasonable for the quality of the dishes and the waterfront location. Service times are generally reasonable: during my visit, we didn't have a long wait, but it's understandable that waits can be slightly longer at peak times. In summary, Gatto Verde is a place I highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality dinner or lunch in Giovinazzo, with tasty dishes, attentive staff, and a pleasant atmosphere with a splendid sea view. I will definitely return at the first opportunity.

20/12/2025: My family, friends, and I frequent it often, both for lunch (for special occasions) and for evenings... it's a modern, air-conditioned glass-fronted establishment overlooking the sea, with a veranda, a surrounding lawn, and an adjacent white beach in a beautiful blue gulf. It also features two screens for important TV events, plus a nautical-style outdoor space (in summer). I primarily go there for the delicious, highly digestible pizza (Barese style), with a wide selection and made-to-order options; but the dishes offered are also impressive, with a gourmet feel. Prices are reasonable and fair. They also do a lot of takeout, thanks to the natural "lounge" provided by the seafront and cliffs. Friendly, accommodating service. Decades of experience... a historic pizzeria, for a reason!

23/10/2025: I had the octopus sandwich. Fantastic. Truly exceptional, simple but very tasty.

13/09/2025: Perfect view. The salad was disappointing. Pizza it's not served for the lunch. The pasta is a bit expensive.
