Puglia Insider Guide

Skip the tourist traps. Eat like a local. From someone who lives in Puglia.

I moved from the US to Ostuni, Puglia seven months ago - and the number one thing I wish I'd had before my first trip here is this guide.

This isn't a listicle pulled from Google. It's what I've learned from actually living here: where locals eat lunch on a Sunday, which town 20 minutes from Ostuni has been named Italy's City of Gastronomy, what to order when you sit down, and how not to embarrass yourself doing it.

What's inside:

🗺 The Towns - Ostuni, Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino, Locorotondo, Bari. What each one is actually like and when to go.

🍽 Where to Eat in Ceglie Messapica - The restaurants locals go to, with addresses and exactly what to order.

🫒 The Food Glossary -14 dishes and terms translated into plain English so you know what you're getting.

🌊 Bari - It's not just an airport. Three things to do, two places to sit down, one dish you can't leave without trying.

📋 The Rules - Eight unwritten rules for eating in Puglia that no travel blog will tell you.

🚗 Getting Around - When to rent a car, when not to, what to bring home, and the best time of year to visit.

Free. No catch. Just the guide I wish someone had handed me.
