I am writing this review , the morning after my first time at Trattoria Pugliese and I must say I was blown away from the intensity of the flavours I went through yesterday night. Recommended by a friend, , this small scaled trattoria is tucked away in an alley , few meters away from the "Castello SVevo" There are no thrills here , no show off, just people ( alovely couple, the lady helpfully taking care of the dining room, while the husband overlooks and make miracles in the kitchen) The starters alone are a firecracking experience of tastes so sublime , that you will say " Oh my GOd" a dozens of time before you finish them . The tempura fried zucchini flowers filled with local fresh ricotta and lemon are simply out of this world, the aubergine melanzana is pure climax, even the breadballs served with just tomato will make you cry..You can smell the tastes so fragrant they are. Great meat , pasta (whatever you will take) simply perfect. I had the impression that the chef is putting so much passion as if he was cooking for himself (and this is not always the case in whatever restaurant you go) , the attitude was simply outstanding . This is southern Italy at the peak of its genuinity Small but logically structured wine list - superfairly priced Supe rhighly recommended

Courtesy, warmth, kindness and discretion... tasty, authentic, different and generous dishes... ingredients of high quality... an unfair quality-price balance, because they prefer to serve quality.. make this place unique. I challenge whoever to find all these things together in the nearby area, I will go there every time possible.

Really a wonderful place! Wonderful dishes and the flawless service. Their hospitality is their main feature, the orecchiette with cime di rapa are amazing and the local Primitive wine is delicious. I wish I could have had some recipes! Recommended!

The place, the owners, the dishes are wonderful! The place is worth of its good repute, the reviews are all true: I have tried the dishes recommended by other consumers (parmigiana, pasta with masse broad beans, olives and burrata, the "torretta" etc) and everything was amazing. The starters are all cooked dishes! My daughter felt at ease and well welcomed...
