TRATTORIA PUGLIA in Castrop-Rauxel

Sensational is just one superlative for this restaurant!!! The ambiance: superb – classic and stylish! The staff is very friendly and competent! The concept and presentation of the daily specials are excellent! The food is absolutely delicious, top-quality ingredients, perfectly cooked, and generous portions! Special requests were handled with great courtesy and executed flawlessly! It simply couldn't be better! The price is absolutely justified! The pasta was a bit too salty for my taste, and the zabaglione much too sweet, but I would still order it again because it tasted absolutely amazing! The escargots in tomato sauce... I've never eaten anything better!!!!! THANK YOU for this delightful evening!!!!!

It was another very delicious evening with very friendly service!

Another great evening! We learned from last year's mistakes.

The authentically Italian food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly. The ambiance is perfect for an Italian restaurant.

A lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and pleasant service. It was a wonderful evening all around.

The meal was a true feast for the senses, a culinary revelation. Every dish was perfectly prepared, an explosion of flavors that far exceeded my expectations. It was not only satisfying but also an aesthetic delight that left me completely happy and content. An absolute masterpiece of culinary art. Thank you so much.

The Espresso Martini was very poorly prepared; ice cubes were added to the glass. Simply undrinkable.

It was really TOP...pizza...appetizer and dessert just the way I like them.

Great food. Great service. Best Italian and the beer garden is a dream, beautiful.

We love it here. The food and service are simply fantastic.

Delicious food and friendly service. We'll definitely be back!

We were the only 2 people in the restaurant, I had the wrong pasta delivered and my friend received the wrong drink

My husband surprised me for our wedding anniversary and booked a table. The food was excellent, the staff very friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance was also very appealing. I immediately reserved a table for Christmas.

We visited the trattoria with the Hemer Citizens' Bus Association, a group of 26 people. From the reservation to the service, to the food and drinks, everything was top-notch. Highly recommended.👍🙋🏻‍♂️

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was very attentive. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Absolutely arrogant staff. Almost insulting… We're definitely not coming back here.

Great restaurant, nice and very attentive waiters

Great service, very friendly and damn delicious!!!!

I spontaneously stopped by for dinner without a reservation and got a seat. The service was really excellent. The pizzas were good and tasty, but nothing special. I was actually hoping for a more special taste experience. The prices here are higher than usual for pizzerias, but you get a delicious starter on the house. The only minor drawback is that you wouldn't expect a tablecloth with a hole in it in an establishment like this. Overall, though, it was okay here, and I can recommend it.

Nice atmosphere, good service and food!

I was there for the first time today; the restaurant was recommended to us. We arrived around 6:00 p.m. without a reservation. The waiter greeted us very warmly and professionally. He gave us a very nice table for two. The daily specials and the weekly menu were very interesting. The waiter gave us a very good wine recommendation. The service was fast, competent, polite, friendly, and, thankfully, humorous. The food was sensationally delicious. The pasta was exceptionally good. (Of course! It was handmade). For dessert, we were recommended an unusual and unusual panna cotta. Conclusion: Food and drinks: top-notch. Ambience: top-notch. Service: high praise! A restaurant where you feel very comfortable as a guest. Very professional and incredibly friendly. Value for money: top-notch. I will definitely be back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We were very satisfied. The food was delicious, and we received very friendly service. It was our second visit, and it won't be our last.

Beautiful beer garden, friendly service, and a good selection of food. You can also choose a 3- or 4-course menu, but that was too much for our hunger. We haven't had such good pizza in a long time.

Very friendly staff. The food was very good. I can only recommend it.

Here's one possible review: "We had a wonderful afternoon at this Italian restaurant! The food was simply fantastic—every bite was a delight. I especially want to mention the excellent bottle of red wine, which paired perfectly with the dishes. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the overall experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant!"

This was our first time here and we have no reason to complain. All the dishes were freshly prepared, well-balanced, delicious, and the portion sizes were just right. Service was impeccable, and the wait time was reasonable. The value for money was just right for us. We'd be happy to come back!

We received a very warm welcome and were shown to our table. The waiters were very friendly and professional. The antipasti, main course, and dessert were delicious and lovingly prepared and decorated. The waiter served us a grappa in between our meals. Very accommodating. This trattoria is highly recommended.

We visited Trattoria Puglia for the first time early Sunday afternoon to satisfy a pizza craving that had been building up for weeks, and we were very impressed. From the easy and quick online reservation to the very friendly and attentive service, to the delicious seafood and salami, ham, and mushroom pizzas, everything was perfect. The menu ranged from pasta and pizza to fish and meat, current daily specials, and menu options, and should have something for every taste. Our pizzas were very flavorful and juicy, with generous tomato sauce and toppings, not too much cheese topping, and the crust was nice and thin in the middle and fluffy around the edges. The accompanying beer was freshly tapped and at a good temperature; non-alcoholic draft beer isn't available in every restaurant either. We were very satisfied overall and will definitely return to try more dishes.

We spent a lovely evening here with five people. The food was excellent: appetizers, various pasta dishes, and tiramisu. We received excellent advice on our wine selection, and the service was truly excellent. I can wholeheartedly recommend Trattoria Puglia!

Fresh, high-quality food – that's rare these days! From appetizers to dessert, the menu is very varied and highly recommended. For main courses, we had various pasta dishes, all of which were delicious – with fish, meat, and vegetarian options. The tiramisu is also a 10/10! The service is exceptionally good, with very attentive and courteous staff. We'll be back!

Absolutely delicious, as always, and great service and recommendations. Even special requests (e.g., no pork) are no problem.

The food was really good, but the waiter was incredibly rude. The waiter who greets guests was particularly unfriendly—and this isn't the first time! Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable—ZERO service! Never again!

The food was good, and the service was friendly. Unfortunately, the restaurant was very noisy. Parking is available nearby.

Beautiful beer garden. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty. The starter was bread, olives, and house oil. Reasonable prices.

Good food and excellent service. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Never again. For €265, including a €20 tip, I ate and not a single grappa on the house. No one had any idea about Italian culture. The order I placed was canceled by the boss because he didn't have it available, even though I had clarified it with the boss beforehand.

Very good Italian restaurant. It stands out from the usual Italian pizzerias. It serves unusual dishes.

We've been to this restaurant many times. For us, it's by far the best restaurant in Castrop-Rauxel. Best, Dirk & Christel

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ristorante Puglia – Castrop-Rauxel Entering Puglia leaves everyday life behind for a moment. The first impression conveys warmth and elegance – a place where you don't just stop by, but feel like you've arrived. The aperitif, a fruity signature of the house, opens the evening with ease and awakens anticipation of what follows. The cuisine is a homage to Italy. Melting fillet steaks, perfectly cooked, and roast beef that delights with depth, flavor, and refinement. Even the pizza, often underrated, is a masterpiece here: a crispy base, finely balanced flavors, a touch of Italy in every bite. The service blends seamlessly into the overall experience – attentive, unobtrusive, with that warm confidence that defines true hospitality. The ambience is stylish without being overly pretentious and invites you to linger. In conclusion: Puglia is more than a restaurant – it's a place of enjoyment, emotion, and contemplation. A culinary gem in the Ruhr region that must be discovered. Many thanks for the experience; our guests from Berlin were also delighted, despite the certainly not limited selection of southern cuisine in the capital.

Nice restaurant with a great beer garden. Delicious dishes beyond pizza and pasta.

Very friendly and attentive staff, and the food is great. The pizza is unbeatable.

We were very satisfied with everything and will book again!

I reserved a table here based on the newspaper reports. The ambiance was very nice, the food delicious, but the head waiter was awful. He was very arrogant and bossy. I expected a bit more professionalism in such an environment, even if it was perhaps a hot day. The young lady who brought the drinks was very friendly, though.

We were at CKÜ and each ordered a ham, mushroom and salami pizza. For the price we each received a mini pizza that was more like crispbread. Tomato sauce had no taste and salami was so thin that it couldn't have been on it. Overall, the price/performance ratio was unsatisfactory. For me, there's no reason to visit the shop. Almost every delivery pizzeria is better. I recommend Pizza Beyto, it tastes a lot better there.

We'd love to come back! It was very pleasant to sit in the shaded beer garden in the very warm weather.

- I ate there spontaneously, alone. Without any waiting time. - I sat outside, didn't go inside or use the restroom, so I can only say that I really liked the ambiance. There were lots of lovely plants. I sat comfortably under a wooden canopy and could help decide where I wanted to sit. - The staff was very friendly and attentive, which I really appreciated and will remember very positively. From the extra chair pads and the extra tablecloth to the questions about the music volume and whether everything was satisfactory. - I found the food, especially the starter, to be very delicious. There was one thing about the main course that I wasn't entirely happy with. The staff were very attentive here as well. I don't think there will be any problems again, and I can give it 5 stars. - I definitely recommend the visit. I'm already looking forward to being there again and eating there again.

We went to Friends in Tapas on Wednesday evening and were absolutely thrilled. The atmosphere, the food, the staff, and the service were super friendly and accommodating. All in all, a successful evening and we'll definitely be back.

We spent a wonderful evening in the magnificent beer garden with great food served by a fantastic service team. Highly recommended.

The food was great, the service was super friendly - you feel at home here. Can only be recommended. The only thing that was pretty annoying was the music. Maybe we wished for Italian music?!

No Italian flavor, all employees except Italians...an Indian cooks in the kitchen! No, thank you never again. I go to an original Italian RESTORAND where you are served by Italians and an Italian cooks... there is also a touch of Italy...

We were thrilled with this Italian restaurant - the food was really high quality and incredibly tasty. We haven't eaten so well in a long time! The service was also top: The service team was extremely professional, friendly and attentive - we would like to particularly emphasize that. You feel completely comfortable here. We would definitely like to come back!

We have been there several times with different friends. Both in summer and winter, we were all thrilled, the food is great, the menu changes👍 We were there again April 17th, 2025, meat as soft as butter!!!! Eat was great, plus a Barbera. What more do you want 😇😇

A restaurant that combines a lot of peace and a beautiful ambience. It's not over-the-top or too expensive. Fortunately, the food is again of a good standard - for a while, the owner tried to create an extravagant meal with a new chef. That didn't go down well and is a thing of the past. Down-to-earth Italian food and very good quality, we're there!

Everything fits here! Delicious food, especially now that the menu has been corrected back to the roots and a departure from the fine dining concept has taken place. Now everyone will find something to suit their taste. In addition, there is friendly and attentive service and a nice ambience both inside and in the very nice beer garden. A visit is worth it! We'd love to come back!

The beer garden, the staff, the food, the draft beer... everything was perfect! You notice immediately when you register: Service is very important here. Absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to eat out in style and deliciously. The beer garden is very lovingly laid out with rippling water, quarry stones and awnings, as well as beautiful old masonry. If we are at CAS again, we would love to come back.

Yes, everything was super tasty. Staff was very friendly.

Delicious, nice location, nice service

Slightly more upscale Italian restaurant with very tasty food.

Definitely recommend it! Very good food, very friendly service, and good wine😊

Very accommodating and polite. The menu was great.

The food was very tasty and the service was good too. The memory card is not like in the "typical" Italian restaurant, but offers much more. However, the rooms could use some renovation, sockets are half hanging out of the wall, paint is peeling off the wall, etc. I think that shouldn't be the case with such high prices.

Restaurant Puglia is highly recommended!

The food was perfect and the service was very good. Very happy again 🙌🏼

Great service, delicious food in a dignified atmosphere. Absolutely recommended

Basically delicious and recommended. BUT: Some of the prices are outrageous (the starter plate for 2 people is a complete outrage for €30). Waiters are friendly and attentive, but whisper audibly about their own table.

Ate at this restaurant today. A nice welcome in a beautiful location. The service and food were fantastic. What delicious food. A real winner.

The food was very tasty and the service was very professional and friendly. Always my pleasure.

Today we spontaneously drove from Bergkamen to Trattoria Puglia. We were thrilled with the food, the atmosphere was very nice and the service was super friendly. We like discovering restaurants and it was actually the best Italian! Thank you very much and see you again 😉

Looking for a “good Italian” we tried Trattoria Puglia. On the first attempt, spontaneously on a Friday evening, no chance without a reservation. A good sign? After today's visit you can only say YES!!! answer. I'm not easily inspired when it comes to gastronomy, but EVERYTHING was just right here! Ambiance, food, service. Starting with the small greeting from the kitchen, the starters, through the wonderful Primitivo, the home-baked bread, the olive oil, to the main course (I had the Orechiette Gamberoni with green asparagus, cherry tomatoes and shellfish sauce) and the fantastic grappa, which we were able to enjoy at the end together with the boss himself, it was a completely successful evening. And... Of course we had a sensational waiter in ADI (great guy). Finally someone who knows what he is talking about at the table. Every course, every wine was announced and every request was received politely and courteously. SO, and there's no other way to go for gastronomy 👌 I'm really happy to pay a few euros more than it would have cost me in the pizzeria next door. THANK YOU - please keep it up!!! 🫶

As always, we were very satisfied 😊

Definitely to be recommended. We were there for the menu carousel. Was very tasty, good wines and very nice staff.

Super great evening in the beautiful beer garden, great vitello, all 3 pasta dishes perfect. Good wine recommendation from the great service staff 👍 Always happy ☺️

Great evening with a super delicious 4-course menu and lovely, attentive staff. Keep it up👍🏼

The very good, expert and unobtrusive table service, an extensive menu with additional daily specials and an excellent selection of wines gave us a wonderful evening in the Trattoria Puglia. We'd love to come back.

Would like to give more than 5 stars. Food is simply super delicious. Service top notch. Would love to come back.

This was our first time in the restaurant, there was nothing to complain about, the starters and pizza were very tasty!

A great evening in a lovely restaurant. The food was excellent and plentiful. Gladly again. Great service and nice local people...

A fantastic evening. I was there today with my wife. Great ambience, very, very nice and friendly staff and a culinary delight - an evening like staying with good friends - we'll be back.

It was an outstanding evening with wonderful food, great wines and very friendly service.

We ordered carbonated water, a glass of wine and a Hövels. A glass of Primitivo, non-carbonated water and a Hövels in a Radeberger glass were served. After a lot of back and forth, we decided on two pizzas :) When the waiter asked us if we liked it, my wife commented that she didn't quite like the pizza dough. The waiter argued that many regular customers come from 30-40 km away just for the pizza, and personal taste could not be properly taken into account/perceived at this point. The impression arose of unwanted criticism, which spoiled the evening for us personally.

You should definitely try it! The menu is great!!! Service great!!!

A great Italian restaurant with a menu that leaves nothing to be desired! Plus great service and a nice ambience :-) We'll definitely be back!

As always everything is fine. Thank you for the lovely New Year's Eve. Thank you Nunzio, thanks to the entire team

We were here for the first time today and are absolutely thrilled. The service was very friendly, professional and accommodating. The atmosphere is inviting and you feel very comfortable in the restaurant. The menu appeared to be of high quality and this impression was also reflected in the dishes. As a starter we had a mixed starter platter with fish and seafood variations. All components gave the impression of high quality and tasted very good. The main courses (pasta made from parmesan with truffles and beef fillet, lamb variation) were also very tasty. The pasta was even prepared at the table. For dessert we chose tiramisu and pear panacotta. Both were homemade and we enjoyed them very much. All the dishes were very attractively prepared and the drinks were also very tasty. Price-performance ratio is definitely right here, as the dishes on offer met high quality standards. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and would love to come back!

The two of us were there on Christmas Day. A greatly reduced map, which is understandable. It was a little strange that other dishes were being served around us, I guess only for regular guests - it was just our first time there. The vitello is prepared differently here, the meat is half raw. The taste is rather flat, including the tuna sauce. Afterwards I had pasta with seafood. It worked like that, nothing great but quite OK. My wife had tagliate, the meat was on point and of high quality. The side dishes were bland and almost cold, and tasted like they had been served the day before. Overall, considering the rather high prices, the quality there is rather poor, we wouldn't go there again. By the way, prices in the restaurant are higher than on the homepage, not that much either. What's there for free is the smell from the kitchen on our clothes. Oh well.

Very tasty and rich. Friendly atmosphere

An unforgettable evening at our favorite Italian restaurant, the food was once again sensational! The service, as always, was nice, friendly and attentive. We look forward to the next evening in the "Trattoria Puglia"

Great, authentic Italian cuisine. not the run-of-the-mill menu that you find everywhere. But of course there are also the “classics”. The quality - including the meat - is top, the taste is great and the host family is also nice.

Fresh ingredients, attractively and tasty prepared. Attentive staff.

The food was great and the service was super attentive and friendly. I can only recommend eating there.

Wir waren zum zweiten Mal bei diesem Italiener. Die Scampi waren frisch zubereitet und sehr gut abgeschmeckt. Zu empfehlen sind auch die Pasta mit Steinpilzen und Trüffel. Die Pizzen sind sehr gut belegt. Die Bedienung ist freundlich und aufmerksam, so dass man auch ein zweites und drittes Getränk bekommt, ohne nach einem Kellner suchen zu müssen. Die Einrichtung ist gemütlich und liebevoll abgestimmt. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Reservierung ist auch in der Woche anzuraten.

As always, it was cozy and very tasty. We always enjoy coming here with our guests.

Always worth a visit. It was a culinary highlight with excellent service!!!

The food was first class! The service was very nice. We will come again! Greetings from Bochum. grace

Das Essen war Erstklassig und die Bedienung sehr nett! Uns hat es sehr gefallen und werden definitiv wieder kommen. Liebe Grüße aus Bochum

By far the best Italian in the entire Dortmund district, simply wonderful in terms of quality in all respects.

It was very tasty. The staff is very attentive.

Very good restaurant with Italian dishes. The dishes are very tasty. The atmosphere is also very cozy. The staff is friendly and attentive and you are served quickly. We'd love to come back.

The mussels and tomato stock were tasty and sufficiently portioned. I thought it was a shame that no bread was served with it. Unfortunately, a lot of the brew went back.
