Experience in a Michelin-Starred Restaurant
Experience is the right word to use when deciding to have lunch or dinner in a Michelin-starred restaurant. In fact, sitting at the table of such a place allows the customer not only to taste unique dishes, but also to learn the story behind each plate — from the origin of the ingredients to the preparation of the dish. In the kitchen, the skilled hands of highly competent chefs offer guests an idea, not a simple meal. Eating in a Michelin-starred restaurant allows you to discover flavors never tasted before. The chefs’ ability makes even dishes created with simple and humble raw materials special. Think of the wide variety of vegetables produced in the Apulian territory and their refined elaboration in the establishments awarded by the Michelin Guide.
Which Are the Michelin-Starred Restaurants 2025 in Puglia?
The Michelin-starred restaurants in Puglia for 2025 are ten. They are distributed throughout the entire Apulian territory, covering almost all provinces.
Casa Sgarra-Trani
Let’s start with the city that boasts two starred establishments. We are talking about Trani, the wonderful coastal town whose symbol is its magnificent Cathedral by the sea. “Casa Sgarra” is a restaurant run by the Sgarra family. It stands on the evocative Trani seafront. It is a modern venue that fully embraces Apulian excellence.
Quintessenza-Trani
Moving near the Swabian Castle, we find “Quintessenza” in Via Lionelli. The Di Gennaro family cooks seafood specialties for its guests and delights diners with a wine cellar stocked with high‑quality wines.
Bros’-Lecce
Lecce, like Trani, can count on the presence of two restaurants blessed by the Michelin Guide. On Via Acaja you will find “Bros’.” The couple formed by the two young chefs Floriano Pellegrino and Isabella Potì welcomes you in a dynamic environment. The two tasting menus combine Salento tradition with a reinterpretation of it, relying on the high quality of the ingredients. Excellent pastry work curated by chef Potì.
Primo Restaurant-Lecce
Another young chef leads the second Michelin-starred restaurant in the Salento capital. Solaika Marroco directs “Primo Restaurant.” A small location where Lecce stone reigns. The Salento chef offers diners refined recipes that travel across Puglia and arrive in Salento. Experimentation is at the center of the chef’s cuisine.
Casamatta-Manduria
Manduria, a town famous for Primitivo wine, hosts “Casamatta,” a venue set inside a castle. Customers can choose among three tasting menus, one of which is vegetarian. The often self-produced raw materials are combined creatively. The flagship dish is lamb with offal pie.
