Reviews for Puglia Italian Restaurant in Twin Peaks, CA
Went Saturday for dinner without a reservation, the hostess was super nice to help us get a table even though they were really... busy. So try to make a reservation before coming here during the weekend. The place is super adorable both outside and inside bythe way! Once seated, our waiter (I unfortunately did not get his name) but he was so amazing as providing us the best serviceduring our time there. He recommended the octopus salad which is amazing by the way. I then got the spaghetti zito which was soflavorful. To end the night, I ordered a cappuccino which was also really good. The staff was all very friendly, I highlyrecommend and look forward to coming again! Read more
We went here for a special occasion and had a reservation. I averaged the stars. If giving stars solely for food I would give... four stars. This is an expensive restaurant with authentic food. The lasagna was excellent and large portion. The lasagnapicture only shows part of the portion. The desserts were good. The service I would rate a two star. It was not up to par. I hadto ask three times to refill our drinks. The serving dish was chipped and my husband almost cut himself. We were seated in theback near storage area and salad girl making salads. Our table was wobbly. They had an outside elevator for handicapped whichdid not work. Would I go back? I don't know if I would try again. Read more
Good food nice stuff. I didn't know we had to have a reservation. They took us anyway but I still suggest you get a reservation.... Or at least call first. We stopped in between the lake and our campsite. My son got the tortellini, my youngest got spaghettiand meatballs. You have to try the bruschetta (we got one and I noticed every other table had it too so it must be known for it)the lasagna was just okay. Read more
Personally, I have 10 years restaurant experience and I have never been more disappointed as a patron than I was at Puglia... tonight. We were a party of 7. First, 2 of the dishes the table ordered the server had to come back and tell the table therestaurant was out of them and asked for a new order. Which I understand, it's a small place... Things happen. What I do notunderstand is how the table ordered 7 dishes and only 6 were delivered to the table with no communication about the missingentree. It was not until I had to personally stand up and walk to the server to ask where the food was. 15 minutes after the 6other entrees where delivered... The 7th entree finally came. I wish that was all that was wrong. We also ordered the lobsterravioli and it made the whole table smell like bad fish. The dish was returned and the server said "sorry" and did not evenbother to ask if we would like to replace it with something different. Overall for the price you're paying for an "authenticItalian" dinner, our table was extremely disappointed. 10 out of 10 I do not recommend this place. Expensive, poor food qualityand insulting service. We collectively agreed non of us will be back. Read more
We tried Puglia to celebrate our anniversary, and we're profoundly glad we did. I truly believe the cannelloni was the best... meal I've ever had. I don't claim to be an expert, but the diversity of flavors in that meal was nothing short of amazing ! Andthen topping it off with tiramisu flambe, what an experience. Only problem is the standard is now set, I don't know that I'llever find another meal so perfect. Truly wonderful ! Read more
I'm a local and was hesitant to try because people said they where expensive. Well, I finally tried it and was pleasantly... surprised. Wasn't overly pricey, and the food is amazing, and flavorful. Will definitely go back. Because we didn't order wine,they wanted to hurry and flip our table. We barely finished eating and they wanted to rush us out. Other than that, was greatexperience.

THE WORST EVER! I came without the wife and and it was the most FLAVORING Italian restaurant ever! I am VERY IMPRESSED! Cozy... restaurant with Fireplace and real ITALIANS working here (at least their accents sound good). We EXPECTED a restaurant thatTRIES TOO HARD and over does it with the flavors BUT OMG we all ordered DIFFERENT dishes and we all shared and ALL our tastebuds were PLEASED. WE LIVE 80 Minutes away and are COMING BACK or the wife won't let me live it down! The reason it was theWORST because all I needed for this EXPERIENCE to be perfect... was my wife! Read more
High quality authentic Italian food comes at a higher price but it is well worth it here at Puglia Italian. Happily spent over... $200 for the 3 of us since each one of us very much enjoyed our meals. My son devoured his spaghetti and meatballs. If itwasn?t good, he would barely touch it no matter how hungry he is. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her LOBSTER RAVIOLI and was stillraving about it afterward. Luckily I was able to taste it and I think this plate was the best blend of richness and flavor. Outof our 3 plates, this one is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I went for the Branzino and wasn?t expecting it to be served at the table cutout right from the sea bass. But that makes for a cool experience. And they have an authentic Italian sauce that they pour ontop which was also unexpected but tasty. The serving size was very generous compared to other Branzino plates from otherlocations. The manager also recommended the KOBE BEEF RIB EYE. When we return, I plan to try that. Read more
