A Culinary Dream in a 14th-Century Trullo! Our family of four, including two teenagers, had the absolute pleasure of dining at this hidden gem nestled within a 14th-century Trullo home in Puglia, and it was, without a doubt, the most perfect and memorable experience of our entire Italian trip. This family-owned restaurant is an absolute must-visit when in the region. From the moment we stepped inside, the attention to detail was impeccable. The ambiance of dining within such a historic and unique structure was truly enchanting. But it wasn't just the setting that impressed us – the dishes were simply the best we had during our entire time in Italy! Each plate was a testament to fresh, local ingredients and masterful culinary skill. As if the experience couldn't get any better, we were even seated in a private section of the restaurant, adding an extra layer of intimacy and charm to our family meal. The service was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel completely at ease. If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable dining experience in Puglia, look no further. This restaurant offers not only exceptional food but also a unique glimpse into the region's history and hospitality. We can't recommend it...
Read moreRistorante Trullo Garden is a shameless tourist trap that delivers one of the most infuriating dining experiences in Southern Italy. The staff’s arrogance is matched only by their rudeness, sneering at us as if we were an inconvenience rather than paying guests. Their so-called “special” seafood pasta, a slimy, overpriced slop, was slapped on our plates at an obscene €18 each—double what any decent trattoria would dare charge for such a disgrace. To add insult to injury, they tacked on a €6 “service” fee for what can only be described as contempt disguised as hospitality. The food was so abysmal it soured our entire trip, convincing us to ditch restaurants altogether and cook our own meals, which were leagues better than this overrated dump. Trullo Garden preys on unsuspecting visitors, banking on Alberobello’s charm to mask its mediocrity. It’s a place where sheep blindly follow Tripadvisor stars, too spineless to call out the scam. Save your money and your sanity,eat literally anywhere else. This was, without question, the worst dining experience we’ve ever endured.
the only saving grace was the atmosphere which definitely didn't justify the daylight...
Read moreRistorante Trullo Garden is a deplorable scam masquerading as a restaurant, serving up misery with a side of overpriced slop in Alberobello’s otherwise charming setting. The staff are aggressively unfriendly, treating customers with a smug disdain that makes you wonder why they bother opening their doors. Their “signature” seafood pasta, a watery, fishy mess unfit for a stray cat, comes with a predatory catch: a minimum two-person order at a jaw-dropping €18 per plate, ensuring you’re fleeced twice for the privilege of choking down their culinary failure. As if that weren’t enough, they slap on a €6 “service” fee for their scowls and neglect service so nonexistent it’s practically theft. This place is a blight on Puglia’s dining scene, preying on tourists too dazzled by trulli to see through the con. We left feeling robbed and repulsed, opting to cook our own meals for the rest of the trip every single one tastier than this garbage. Trullo Garden is a soulless cash grab for spineless trend-chasers who’d rather post pretty photos than admit they’ve been duped. Avoid this hellhole at all costs; it’s an insult to Italy’s...
