I migliori ristoranti in Puglia

21/08/2025: I posted this review three years ago, but it never got published. I hope it gets published now. HOW TO RUIN A SATURDAY NIGHT BECAUSE OF INCOMPETENT PEOPLE!!! If I could give it zero stars, I would have gladly done so, but unfortunately, Google won't let me. Brief summary: It's Saturday, June 18, 2022, and we're celebrating a friend's birthday. First, we decide to have dinner in Bari's city center and take a walking tour, then go to this place to dance. Unfortunately, I'm on call at work; I'm a nurse, once considered a hero, but after this anecdote, I think the more appropriate term is inept, not hero. Moral of the story: My friends head to this place to celebrate because they had booked the table and the kits, which I had also paid for. We say goodbye, saying that if I finished early, I'd join them. Luckily, I finish at 1:00 PM, and after 20 minutes, I'm already out of the place. But a rude couple at the entrance, a man (a bouncer) and a rather grumpy woman, rudely ask me to leave, punctuated by gratuitous insults. My explanations about why I was there, why I had to get in, and why I was late are useless. In future, I urge you to have the entrance guarded by more competent, but above all, more polite, and more humane people. I will certainly share my Dantesque-like experience with anyone who suggests a dance club to me in the future, so I can avoid yours. Best regards!

06/08/2025: A well-equipped and well-maintained beach resort filled with greenery and typical Puglia plants, a children's pool, and excellent bar and restaurant service. Congratulations!!!!

05/10/2025: Horrible experience. Delivery was over an hour late. The delivery man didn't even wait for me to open the door: he left the bag on the floor in front of the door like it was garbage and ran off to his car. The delivery man also happened to be the owner of the place. The food was completely FROZEN and the fried food (vegetable tempura) was raw. Never again.

28/09/2025: We arrived there to taste something, a total mess, dilapidated tables on the floor, everything sticky, not to mention the chef's dishes, a punch in the stomach, it's 6:30 in the morning and I've been in the bathroom since 5:20, I strongly recommend NOT EATING HERE to avoid ending up in these situations of ....! DO NOT EAT RAW, high risk of salmonella and staphylococcus

07/09/2025: Their francesine pizzas are excellent; I recommend the capricciosa, the 4 stagioni, and the prosciutto cotto with French cheese and mushrooms. The service provided by the owner (Riccardo) is good; the interior needs updating because it's outdated. The francesine pizzas, the reason to go, are excellent. FOOD IS MOSTLY TAKE-AWAY. RECOMMENDED! Avoid peak hours!

21/09/2025: I'm disappointed, but I've noticed that the chef doesn't taste the dishes he prepares. I had octopus on mashed potatoes, cod, mixed fried fish, and peppered mussels—all too tasty. The mixed fried fish, and finally the scampi risotto, were the saltiest I could imagine. In their defense, they said others liked it, but my palate was salty. I don't accept that. Because I've traveled the country far and wide, and my palate has never disappointed me. I've visited nearly 500 restaurants of all kinds, and I could write a book.

19/09/2025: Excellent seafood restaurant and pizzeria, right on the seafront with a delightful dance floor for evenings of dancing with the scent of the sea. Honorable mention for the bar: tonight, bartender Mauro made me a Long Island Iced Tea, just as Christ intended! Hats off!

15/02/2025: The service and the food was amazing. I’m suggesting it for everyone!

06/10/2025: Hi. Today we paid by card the bill for 16 euro in your bar. Now we checked that this payment was rejected. So you probably did not receive it. Could you pls check it at your side and let us know. We can pay this amount by revolut. Pls advise.

04/10/2025: Great location, great for watching the tourists. Cute, small, cozy shop with good coffee. Highly recommended :)

18/10/2025: A tourist (a close relative of mine) paid €5.50 at the counter (not at the table as it said on the receipt) for a cappuccino and a simple croissant (€3.50 for a croissant + €2), taking advantage of the fact that he wasn't a local. I have the receipt. Shame!

17/10/2025: The staff is very rude, even downright impolite, and makes inappropriate gestures toward customers. I don't recommend this place; I recommend avoiding it.

12/09/2025: It's very relaxing if you have children there; they can play and the parents can eat in peace. Pizza from 1 meter is so delicious, as is the pucca.

07/09/2025: Biblical wait times. Inexperienced and slow staff, except for Cosimo, a young man who tried his best to fix everything. Perfect for outings with children, with a play area for them (ages 3 to 15). The puccia al metro is delicious, but the pizza al metro could be improved. I recommend increasing the staff and finding someone with a little more experience.

05/04/2025: Great coffee and friendly staff

13/09/2025: Avoid a lido that closes the parasols and removes the deckchairs in front of you on a Saturday at 2 p.m. so that you can quickly get out of there, something that has never been seen before...

02/09/2025: Found after 3 years... very serious

09/07/2025: Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.

28/06/2025: Welcoming atmosphere... excellent service... excellent first course but QUANTITY to be improved... modest price....👍🏻💪🏻🤗👋🏻

08/11/2025: We went for my mother's birthday..we had dinner with house appetizers and pizza in the center..as always we had a great time..friendly and kind staff..Diego and his staff are always top

18/10/2025: Too bad they don't accept dogs 🐕!

15/10/2025: DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT! I ordered through glovo app, the pizza i received was disgusting, the dough was still raw and wet, cheese got melted inside the box and got stuck on the carton box with the dough. Here are some photos, it was awful! I don’t know how is this allowed in the country of pizza !

22/09/2025: Good, simple pizza, unpretentious but honest. Its real strength is the low crowds compared to nearby pizzerias, which allows you to find a table or order takeout even when other nearby establishments wouldn't be able to.

19/10/2025: Saturday evening at Zucchero in Triggiano: simply perfect! Superb atmosphere, spectacular desserts as always. Yesterday, the bartender was there too, and his cocktails really elevated the evening—well done and incredibly creative! A huge thank you to Angela, who is truly a guarantee: professional, smiling, and always ready to make every customer feel welcome. She's a go-to for me every time I return to Zucchero. Kudos to the entire staff!

17/10/2025: A very elegant venue, with indoor and outdoor seating, located in a modern square. Customers are greeted warmly and the service is prompt. I enjoyed an excellent coffee and croissant. In my opinion, it's the perfect place to start the day or enjoy a refreshing break. The prices are fair and commensurate with the quality of the products.
