Alberobello, a cute town in the Puglia region of southern Italy, might be famous for its fairytale trulli houses, but let me tell you – the Alberobello restaurants scene is just as magical. Whether you’re a cheese-chasing foodie, pizza lover, or wine bar hopper, this little town in southern Italy serves up some serious flavour.

I’ve visited Alberobello solo a few times now, and I never leave hungry (or without a suitcase full of cheese). From rustic trattorias to cool cafés, here are 15 of the best Alberobello restaurants, pizzerias, and food spots in Puglia.

This post contains my own photos, plus photos reproduced with permission from Alberobello.com and photos from some of the restaurants themselves.

1. Tuck into Traditions at L’Aratro 🍝

Hidden among the trulli rooftops, Restaurant L’Aratro is a warm, family-run restaurant serving handmade pasta and regional classics since 1987. The orecchiette here is so good, I went back twice. Try the antipasti to start, and save room for their dreamy caramel panna cotta.

Set menus are available if you’re feeling adventurous (and hungry).

Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and a cracking wine list make this one of the most beloved Alberobello restaurants.

📍 Restaurant L’Aratro, Via Monte San Michele, 25 – Alberobello, BA, Italy.

2. Go Fancy at Trullo D’Oro 🍷

For something a bit swankier, book a table at Trullo D’Oro. This place knows how to make a plate pretty – expect gorgeously plated octopus, seasonal ingredients, and lush desserts that are almost too beautiful to eat (almost).

Ask the staff for wine pairings, they’re spot on.

Bonus points for the alfresco dining area surrounded by greenery. Another gem among Alberobello restaurants.

📍 Via Felice Cavallotti, 27, 70011 Alberobello BA, Italy.

3. Garden Dining at Terra Madre 🥗

Vegetarian or not, you need to eat at Terra Madre Trattoria. This garden-to-table trattoria is all about fresh, local produce grown right on-site.

Think stuffed artichokes, pasta with zucchini flowers, and the fluffiest cheese crumble cake.

You dine literally among the vegetables. Very wholesome, very delicious. A must-visit on your Alberobello restaurants list.

📍 Piazza Sacramento, 17, 70011 Alberobello BA, Italy.

4. Honest Food at Osteria del Poeta 🍖

Set in a traditional trullo, Osteria del Poeta offers no-frills, hearty Italian fare.

The focus here is on simplicity done right – veggie-packed dishes, lasagne, Florentine steak, and a homey vibe that makes you want to linger.

Rustic dining room featuring stone arches and walls, wooden tables set with checkered napkins and glassware, and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

Great for groups or anyone looking for comfort food in a charming setting. Classic Alberobello restaurant vibes.

📍Via Indipendenza, 23, 70011 Alberobello BA, Italy.

5. Reliable Classics at Casa Amatulli 🍷

Tripadvisor loves this place. Me? I thought it was fine, but not life-changing.

Still, the orecchiette and veal bracioli were decent, and the local wine hit the spot. Maybe I caught them on an off day – it happens!

Give it a go and let me know what you think. It remains one of the better-rated Alberobello restaurants overall.

📍Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, numero 13, 70011 Alberobello BA, Italy

6. Grab a Cheesy Bite at Pane & Mozza 🧀

Cheese lovers, rejoice. Pane & Mozza is all about Apulian dairy – burrata, fiordilatte, stracciatella, and more. You can sample it all in gourmet sandwiches or salads, or just snack your way through a cheese board.

They also sell vacuum-packed goodies to take home. And yes, there are great gluten-free options.

This is one of the top lunch spots in the Alberobello restaurant scene.

📍 Largo Martellotta, 31 – Alberobello, BA, Italy.

7. Brunch it Up at Così Com’era ☕️

If you’re craving a proper breakfast or brunch, head to Così Com’era. You’ll find Puglia-style pancakes, yoghurt with muesli, omelettes, focaccia, and a banging Farmer’s Brunch served from 11am.

Their sweet pastries are fab too – perfect for a lazy morning in the piazza. One of the more unique cafés in the Alberobello restaurants family.

📍 Piazza del Popolo, 20 – Alberobello, BA Italy.

8. Try Trulli-Tasty Sandwiches at Gusto Delicatessen 🥪

Inside a cute little trullo near Rione Monti, Gusto Salumeria serves up top-notch paninis with local meats, cheeses, and pickles. The Made in Puglia sandwich (with burrata and dried tomatoes) is a total win.

Sit outside, sip a craft beer, and watch the trulli world go by. A deli-meets-restaurant gem in Alberobello.

They also do a great Pasqualino sandwich – the traditional sandwich of Alberobello!

📍 Largo Trevisani, 5 – Alberobello, BA Italy.

9. Focaccia Heaven at La Lira 🍕

This unassuming focacceria serves pure joy in sandwich form. Don’t miss the focaccia Barese, Focapizza, and their epic Sfilatino with burrata and capocollo. Everything is made-to-order, so expect a bit of a wait.

Worth every bite. Bring napkins. It deserves a spot on any list of must-try Alberobello restaurants.

📍 Largo Martellotta, 67 – Alberobello, BA, Italy.

10. Pizza Night at Basilico Rosso 🍕

Spacious, stylish, and serving all the classics (plus some quirky combos), Basilico Rosso is a great pick for pizza lovers. Their Pasqualino pizza is a fun local twist, and the tirabrownies dessert? Chef’s kiss.

Free Wi-Fi and private parking too. One of the best-rated pizzerias among Alberobello restaurants.

📍 Via 7 Liberatori della Selva, 11 – Alberobello, BA, Italy.

11. Locals’ Favourite Arboris Belli 🍕

A bit out of the centre, Arboris Belli is a chilled-out pizzeria popular with Alberobello locals. You’ll find wood-fired pies, pasta dishes, fresh salads, and a friendly, laid-back vibe.

Takeaway is available if you want to eat in your trullo. Another pizza hit in the Alberobello restaurants lineup.

📍 Bosco Selva 70011 Alberobello, Puglia, Italy

12. Meat Feast at Braceria D’Onghia 🥩

Part butcher, part grill house, this is where carnivores go to indulge. Pick your meat from the counter (sausages, steaks, bombette), and they’ll cook it up for you. In summer, the garden dining area is perfect.

A variety of raw meats, including ground meat, patties, and bacon-wrapped pieces, are displayed on trays in a refrigerated deli counter with decorative sliced peppers and herbs.

Try the Apulian ‘little bombs’ stuffed with cheese. You’ll thank me later. Easily one of the meatiest picks in Alberobello restaurants.

📍Vico Barsenta 55 accanto Palestra Evolution Fit, 70011, Alberobello Italy

12. Wine & Cheese at Paco Wines 🍷🧀

A hidden gem for wine lovers. Paco Wines is a cosy enoteca with an excellent local wine list and dreamy cheese and salami platters. The vibe is relaxed and romantic, perfect for solo sippers or date nights.

Try the Verdeca or Primitivo wine, and toast to Alberobello! One of the finest wine-focused Alberobello restaurants.

📍Paco Wines, Via Monte Nero 2, 70011, Alberobello Italy
