Charming Apulian deli-cafe with warm owner-led hospitality and standout burrata, focaccia, and tasting boards; small space, limited seating, and occasional wait or service brusqueness; prices moderate-high for deli format.
Di Puglia un po' earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality—particularly the silky burrata and standout focaccia—paired with warm, attentive owner-led service that makes guests feel transported to Apulia. Reliable execution and strong loyalty reinforce its standing as a respected neighborhood gem. The tight space and moderate pricing prevent higher distinction, but this authentic deli-cafe delivers ingredient-driven simplicity that exceeds typical casual dining standards in the area.
Tucked along Via Borgo Vico, this tiny deli-cafe channels Apulia with shelves of olive oil, breads, and cheeses, and service that feels warm and personal. A guest summed it up: "we felt like we were in Puglia for lunch." Space is tight and seats are few, but many praise the owner-led hospitality and the comfort of simple things done well. The cooking leans classic Apulian—think silky burrata, stuffed focaccia, pucce with capicola, and generous tasting boards of cheeses, frisella, and Altamura bread. It is more curated deli than full restaurant, ideal for travelers seeking ingredient-driven simplicity and a guided tasting rather than elaborate courses. Prices skew moderate for a deli, reflecting quality sourcing. Families will find friendly vibes and straightforward flavors—mozzarella, bread, olives, and mild cured meats are easy wins. Seating is limited for strollers, and there is no noted kids menu, but a shared board or a plain focaccia slice makes an easy, kid-pleasing meal.
