Any Don't Miss Puglia restaurants??
Ok so i know there are posts about restaurants in different areas but we were wondering whether there was a stand out favourite
Our trip is nearly here and we hoping to get a "cant miss" restaurant??
We will be based near Fasano/monopoli but happy to travel up to 2 hours each way for somewhere special.......

You've seen this, right?

From my own experience, I think I'd have to put Antichi Sapori on the "don't miss" list. There are at least two places with the same name; the one I mean is the one outside Andria. Keep in mind that the cuisine is not elaborate in the least. Simple meat and vegetable dishes, with the finest raw materials you can imagine. Not at all dressy.

hey ekscrunchy,
thanks for your message
that is one of the two places i have contacted (antichi sapori). Well after booking the wrong one up in palma!! but have emailed the other one now near trani near andria so fingers crossed they will come back
i think i have read part of that post before but months ago so definitely will be useful to refresh my memory!!
oh dont worry we are much more into simple authentic food rather than fancy stuff so sure we will love it too
thanks again

When in Lecce we ate at Alle Due Corti, and thought it one of our favorite meals in all of Puglia. It's not often we run into a dish we've honestly never even seen or heard of before - I forget the name, but they have a homemade pasta dish in which half your serving is boiled as usual, but the other half is pan fried, giving the dish a really unique bite. My husband was also a huge fan of their fava & chicory, a very traditional Pugliese peasant dish, which we make at home now. Enjoy!

Hi Maria,
this was one of the ones we were looking into so thanks for the tip it sounds yummy
so excited, we have banned outselves from having any pasta or risotto until we are in Italy (hard for us we have 2-3 times a week normally) so we appreciate it even more!

HG, we were referred to a local restaurant in the historic center of Locorotondo by a local wine merchant. It smelled so..o..oo good, but it was Friday night and alas, all the local people go out on Friday night.
When we tried to make a reservation, we were "sign-languaged" that they had no room, although it was still early. Still don't know if it was because they were full, or because they regarded us as nonsensical English speaking people, but we are going back in October to try again.
And this time, I am going to practice up my Italian before we leave!
I don't know the name of the restaurant, but apparently there are two good ones in the pedestrianized historical center.
We did end up eating at a little country restaurant on the waya to Cisternino, where the proprietor gave us a free piece of pizza although we had ordered pasta dishes. We noticed too late all the pizza boxes and the steady stream of people coming in for it.
That was Really Good Pizza!

HI,
I prefer (as apulian):
- Terranima (Bari)
- Antichi Sapori (Andria, a little bit far away your journey)
- Masseria Barbera (Minervino Murge, far away...)
- Le Zie (Lecce)
- Il poeta contadino (Alberobello)
- Perricci (Monopoli)
- Il Cortiletto (Fasano)
As often wrote in different posts, it's very easy to have delicious meals in Puglia
