Trip report : Puglia and Basilicata June/July 2025

Fun read. Thanks for taking the time.

For us Noci wasnt that sleepy outside of the old town in May. Seemed like a sizable bustling town. But once you cross into the old town, totally different. Same in Cegli.

Stellar report!

Zigs: True: Sometimes the newer, less picturesque parts of towns yield some of the best eating…and vitality…

I never got to Ruvo, or Noci…but soon…

I’m in Bari now so re-reading this terrific report. I have to apologize for my off-base comment about LE ZIE being still good! I was way off track, given your poor meal, and didi not realize until I re-read your comments. It was a good, rustic place when we were there about 15 years ago but sounds as if it’s gone on a steep downhill slide. So please ignore my comment up above!! (even back then, we shared the dining room with two large groups of tourists)

Tonight will be IL SORSO PREFERITO! finally!!
