Ristorante "L'Antica Locanda"

The 'stiletto heel' of the boot, Puglia has slowly become one of the (if not the most) hottest destinations in Italy. I grew up spending my summers and major holidays here, and it's been an absolute pleasure seeing this special region blossom into one of the most requested holiday destinations in Italy. For years it was simply the place where locals came to lay in the sunny beaches for the months of July and August, but now has activities, restaurants and beach clubs open year-round. It's HUGE, so keep in mind it will probably take you a few trips to the region to see most of it. My advice is to not try and see it all in one try, but instead pick one or two areas and slowly explore (and enjoy) them. Here are my favorite places to eat in Puglia

This is a living guide to the very best places to eat and drink in Apulia&Matera. As I travel back to Puglia - which I do regularly - I will continue to update this list. If you purchase today, you will receive all future updates. Perfect for a first-timer, or someone who wants to go deeper. Recommendations cover major cities, like Bari, but also off-the-beaten-track options in the countryside that are destinations in their own right. Every place has been verified by me and visited multiple times. Tips for each restaurant include dishes to order and background about the place. I've even included some personal anecdotes to give extra color to each destination! Fun Fact: Last year I was featured on Delicious Destinations with Chef Andrew Zimmern as his personal guide to Puglia. Videos from our adventure included in this guide.

A flexible one-week guide for a road trip around Puglia, down the Adriatic Coast. (It also can easily be applied to a train trip, hopping from city to city with local transport!) This guide assumes you land on "day 0" and fly out on day 8, accounting for 7 full days in Puglia. It includes locations in: - Bari -Monopoli -Ostuni -Lecce -Gallipoli You might also consider extending your stay and exploring nearby Matera for a day or two! Recommendations include: 🛎️10 accommodation options for different budgets 😍 20 activities & sites to see (beaches, churches, and wine tastings !) & many, many recommendations for food and wine! Since I prefer not to waste time changing hotels, I have mapped it out for three main stays: one near Bari, one near Ostuni, and one in Lecce.
