Pulia in Southwark

Very nice and authentic Italian food. This place is behind borough market and can be easily missed off the beaten track.Has a very clean and warm feel to it. Staff were attentive and service was good. I tried the gnocchi and it was delicious.

A really authentic experience which brought me back to my recent trip to Puglia. A great menu, great service and lovely restaurant. I recommend the sausage Cavatelli, and no meal would be complete without a Pasticciotto!

Pasta was cooked perfectly. However, the selection and options are limited. The quality of the burrata and olive oil was not that great, seemed like supermarket quality. The fish did not taste fresh and it all has a very strong fish smell and taste. What really let us down was the service, it took over an hour and fifteen minutes for the food to come out. Really disappointed, would not recommend.

Food was good; bruschetta was smoky and so it had a unique and original taste but it was quite salty. I got the orichette which was filling and had a balanced tomato sauce but felt a little too Al dente for me. Service was bizzare, nice and friendly people but they took a knife away whilst still eating - almost mid slice - and so felt quite aggressive. Also they asked to take an aperol spritz even though some was left. Felt a bit pushy and caught us by surprise to say no. Willing to give 3 stars as they were friendly and food was good. If staff were surly would make 2 stars

Admitting I'm a bit picky, finally a good Italian restaurant!! Vibe is great (curated but cosy), staff is very nice and food is what you would expect from an Italian restaurant. Starter was actually a bit disappointing but my main (orecchiette con cime di rapa) was delicious. Pasta was great and sauce was super tasty and balanced. Price is reasonable too and wine was quite nice! Liked it!

This restaurant feels very like a canteen, and has tiny tables in a very noisy, clattering space. The service is disorganized, it took two people to find my reservation and seat me at a table. One one side of me a table of four were having a deep conversation while looking at the dessert menu. Their lunch would have been a lot more relaxing if the waiters weren't continually asking if they were ready to order. I ordered a glass of prosecco as I was waiting for my friend and that arrived after several minutes and was nice. The table next to me were seated and they had some difficulty ordering as the waiter didn't understand a fairly simple question about the gnocchi. They ordered some olives which the waiter plonked down on my table.These things made me decide to pay my bill and have lunch elsewhere.

It's the perfect place where to go if you miss Puglia's food. The dishes I tried were very good and the atmosphere brings you straight in a topical Puglia's restaurant.Maybe just a bit expensive but the place and the food compensated the price.

I went to Pulia yesterday for a business lunch, I have previously worked in the area for 3 years but never stumbled across this place. It is placed just behind all of the tourist food attractions in Borough Market and well worth the extra few steps.I have spent a lot of time in Italy and this is the best Italian meal I have had outside of Italy. Beautifully presented, simple high quality food not trying to be 'trendy' or over clever.Highlights were starters see pics attached a quality sausage pasta for main...and the pouring of coffee onto the Tiriamusu was a nice touch.Are there cheaper places for lunch nearby? Yes of course...are there trendier places? Yes of course... However are there better places to go for quality fresh food made with care...id say No. I will definitely be back again.

Nice food with very small portion, oh expensive in that way. Great place near to the Borough Market. Better to book it first before heading there. Staff is really pushy. They welcome u warmly but after that push u to get that place empty. Not good for group of friends.

We went here after a neighboring restaurant was closed due to unforseen circumstances. The environment is busy and bustling, not quiet and cosy. Great for groups and social couples. They have some fresh and lovely pasta dishes and a focasia with burnt wheat which looked amazing. Tasty meatballs and the aubergine in olive oil was surprisingly tasty. Recommended.
