More tips (2)
Masseria Muntibianchi AgriResort
Heated pool, spa, free parking, daily-changing breakfast; try the pasticciotto and the 2h pasta workshop (€40pp)
Masseria Seppunisi
€45pp for 1.5h: tour, making burrata yourself and a tasting – their mozzarella and burrata are a must
Monopoli
Good base in Puglia - they slept 4 nights and toured Bari, Polignano a Mare, Locorotondo and Alberobello from there.
Porto Antico di Monopoli
Come toward sunset; parking on white lines is free, blue is paid, with many lots a few minutes' walk away
Rione Monti Trulli
Just wander and get lost in the lanes — the white cone-roofed trulli were built without mortar so locals could dismantle them and dodge taxes.
Ristorante La Cantina
Tiny vaulted trattoria she calls 'a piece of paradise in Alberobello' — order the orecchiette with cherry tomatoes; the chef is 'one big wow'.
Strada delle Orecchiette (Arco Basso)
Local women make and sell fresh orecchiette right on the street — ask at the stalls to taste; one even invited her into her home.
Atypical Cucina Italiana
Excellent but not cheap; bread on the house. With the truffle pasta, tell the waiter when to stop grating
Gelateria Porta del Mare
Best gelato of the Italy trip – get the pistachio and Kinder Bueno; came back for half a kilo to go
La Bottega del Gelato
The best gelato in town.
Masseria Pezze Galere
A must: €35pp grove tour then a guided tasting of 5 olive oils – learn to spot quality oil
Muscato Cafè
Fruit-shaped mousse desserts for just €6 – mango and pistachio were excellent
Nelson Park
One of the best pizzas of the trip; the caprese-avocado salad is also very good
Suite 21 - The Trulli Experience
Sleep one night in a trullo for the full experience; they booked this apartment last minute and loved it.
Alberobello
Wander and get lost among the trulli; very touristy – if you're not sleeping over, arrive early in the morning.
Cremeria Alla Scala
Get the nocciola (Nutella-like) – very tasty; the salted caramel was weaker
Il Super Mago del Gelo Mario Campanella
The famous caffè speciale with lemon zest and almond liqueur.
Osteria Pizzeria Sant'Oronzo
Excellent pizza; order the orecchiette in tomato sauce with burrata
Ostuni
Close to Lecce - easy to combine with the southern beaches.
Panificio Santa Rita
The best focaccia she's ever eaten and it's vegan — 4 pieces for €4; there's a long line but it's worth it.
Pizzeria Bella Mbriana
Walk-in find with really excellent pizza; a margherita costs about €6-7 around here
Pizzeria del Portico
Order the burrata-filled tortellini in tomato sauce
Pizzeria Terrarossa
Superb pizza; tell them you're sharing and they'll split it onto two plates
Polignano a Mare
Easy day trip from Monopoli.
Trulli Panoramic View
Recommended viewpoint – to go up you must buy something in the shop, even just water.
Zara
She found beautiful wool scarves and bandanas here – handy if you didn't pack for cooler days.
Grotte di Castellana
Short 1 km route takes about 40 min for €25pp; a longer route is also available
Lama Monachile
Save the viewpoint spot over the cove; very touristy, so come prepared and pick a sunny day
Masseria Montenapoleone
Stunning sunset among the vines; €65pp aperitivo (wine tasting, 10 small dishes, cocktail) – felt like a tourist trap
Basilica dei Santi Medici Cosma e Damiano
Come late at night — the twin-towered facade is floodlit and the streets are empty.
Borgo Antico Bistrot
Best at sunset for aperitivo with views over olive groves to the sea, but lovely by day too
Borgo Cozzana
10 min drive from Monopoli, big room, but ants and a cold pool; overpriced. Ask for eggs at breakfast
Carlo Quinto
Local Pugliese food on the first evening in Monopoli; book ahead in summer.
Gelateria Gentile
At Piazza Federico II di Svevia; many dairy-free and gluten-free options — she took cookies and hazelnut.
Il Salumiere Nino
Beccheria-braceria deli with a panino menu — she notes there's a delicatessen on every corner here.
La Locanda sul Porto
Fish and seafood by the port in Monopoli.
Le Delizie di Andrea
Write down the name – everyone lines up here for the panini made with fresh, typical local ingredients.
Maria delle Sgagliozze
Classic Bari street food — fried polenta sgagliozze from the nonne.
Mastro Ciccio
Sandwiches for a quick lunch on the Bari–Alberobello day.
Osteria Le Arpie
Sit-down local option on the Bari day.
Panificio Fiore
Get the local focaccia — soft, high quality, topped with very flavorful tomatoes.
Polignano a Mare boat tour caves
Take the boat tour to see Polignano's sea caves from the water.
Ristorante Antò - Cucina & Sapori Tipici
Dinner in the old-town alley on Strada Palazzo di Città — checkered tablecloths, Aperol spritz and a live saxophone player.
Strada Arco Basso
Watch the nonne making orecchiette by hand, then walk over to the fish market.
Teatro Petruzzelli
Beautiful lit up at night, in Bari's modern shopping district (the other side of town from the old city).
Tuttoapposto
Wine bar stop on the Monopoli evening.
Basilica Cattedrale Maria Santissima della Madia
Sights · cathedral
Chiesa di Sant'Antonio (Chiesa a Trullo)
A church built in trullo style in the Rione Monti lanes.
Frumè Focacceria
Rated 4.9 with a long queue, but the focaccia was just cute – expected more
Il Trullo più Piccolo di Alberobello
Free entry souvenir trullo; the town looks beautiful lit up at night.
La Terrazza Trattoria Pizzeria
Pizza was okay, but skip the gnocchi in tomato sauce – really bad.
Mamà
American-style soft serve with lots of toppings and sauces, but €5 a cup — in her view not worth the money.
Noci
She jokes the local supermarket is Noci's number one heritage site; cheap marinated anchovies (€2.99) and peeled shrimp (€2.39).
Teatro Margherita
Sights · waterfront theatre
The King Street Food
Skip the pizza and bruschetta, order the chocolate salami; evenings in Monopoli fill up – book elsewhere
