Definitively the best place to learn about the Altamura man. Well organized and maintained, interested staff, thoughtful exhibits. Enjoy your visit!

Loved the museum, and was impressed by the passion and knowledge of the tour guide that welcomed us! The exhibition is not huge but incredibly well organised. Definitely worth a visit, don't miss it if you are in Altamura.

Most informative video and staff explaining on the discovery of the uomo di altamura. Recommended!

I love this museum. It is short and sweet. I am an American from Texas living in Northern Italy, wishing I was living in Southern Italy and every chance I get, I try to get to Puglia. I highly recommend a short trip into Altamura to see this museum on one of the most exciting archaeological discoveries of an ancient human skeleton found in a cave just in 1989! The skeleton was found in 1993 after four years of exploration by archaeologists. The skeleton is believed to be very old and is cemented into the cave mineral stalactites. Most impressive is the 3D film that takes you into the cave, filmed in 2013, I believe. The staff was so excited to tell the story and host us throughout the museum route, she let me practice my little Italian while I asked questions and she explained everything in perfect English. Last year marked the 30th anniversary of the discovery of Altamura Man in the Lamalunga cave system in the Murgia plateau. Altamura is also such a beautiful city to visit, famous for its bread and pugliese cuisine! I hope to return again soon!

Small museum with not very engaging exhibits. I felt I wasted my time (the main attraction is the same 3d movie you can watch in the Lamalunga visitor center)

We've been very kindly and warmly welcomed to visit the museum. Besides it being very interesting, Donatella, the lady who welcomed us (actually very close to the closing time), was very qualified and professional and it was clear to us that she is very passionate about her job. We really recommend to visit this museum.

If you are in Altamura, specially with kids, you can’t miss this museum where you’ll learn about the Altamura Neanderthal man and many more amazing discoveries in the area. Donatella is the best guide, so passionate about her work!

Absolutely gorgeous and well-kept cathedral in the old town. We could visit the premises through the courtesy of the keeper who was about to close the doors.

The Saint Mary Cathedral in Altamura is a stunning example of Romanesque architecture, featuring intricate stone carvings and a striking bell tower. Its interior boasts colorful frescoes and an impressive rose window. A must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture.

We had a wonderful time during the Altamura festa di Federico. Thankyou to all the people who helped to make Florian's day memorable.

Got lucky. Came after closing time but because a wedding was on was able to go in (as others were also doing). Watched some bits of it from the first floor museum. I thought the diosecan museum was interesting. Good English explanations.

Utterly beautiful and so peaceful. So many beautiful works of art. Worth a visit and a prayer.

Beautiful church. Be sure to look up!

Fantastic Cathedral, a masterpiece of artwork, with friendly staff, and admission is free, as it should be, respecting religious sentiment.

unfortunately the classical age expositiom was in renovation. the prehistoric exhibition was large and interesting with a lot of explanations and 3D models to understand better the pieces at the exhibition. Still the contents were too technical with exceeding attention about stone instruments that is any difficult with a lot of names. The location is not the best, outdoor areas dirty and in disorder, pity, Altamura old town has got a lot of beautiful buildings, museum is located in a brutalist building of modern era .

If you are into Neanderthal’s and can read Italian this would be super interesting.

All Texts in italian. Not recommended for International guests. 1st floor Was closed

Fun small-ish museum (2 floors), with lots of very old artifacts. Limited English translations, but it's in Italy. Of course the language is Italian! Some of the staff did speak English, and were extremely nice and accommodating.

Truly disappointing in almost any sense. The best is the staff, who assist you in buying a ticket from a self service panel!? Waste of public money in a shameful manner. Have a look at Museo Baldassarre, this could be the benchmark. More engagement and thought wanted!

We enjoyed viewing the collection and were pleasantly surprised by scope of it. For international visitors, more translated panels or signage would greatly enhance the experience.

Perfect!

The overall I gave 5 stars. For the food, I really impressed by how freshness of the salad. The fried cod with the chickpeas is fine, but the smash chickpeas is a bit salty. The main dish is half portion, because the I was a bit full after appetitzer and salad. They were kind to offer me half of the portion. However the lamb was a bit fatty and with mostly bone and not much meat. Good thing is it’s full of flavor. Amazing wine Celler with impressive collection. Mina was so kind to show me around. Next time has to try different wine. Will suggest to have wine pairing menu with the set menu. Service is great and friendly. But sometimes when the food being served, they can’t explained what’s the sauce and how they cook it and why they have this ideas, which is very pity.

What an exceptional place to eat either lunch or dinner … the food was wonderful … one of our favourites was the truffle pasta … but all the dishes were great .. loved the unique vegetable dishes… the bread was made in house as was the pasta & was excellent… and the service was lovely … we had 3 meals there and the family owned run business was of a very high quality … all the meals are made from fresh produced from farm to plate … highly recommended to any visitor to this lovely town…

This was a recommendation from our AirBnB host (MariaGiovanna) - wow!!!! amazing! We had planned to have pizza, but they only cook pizza in the evenings. So, we ate from the menu. The olive oil was so full of taste, I asked for some more to accompany my traditional bread. We drank lovely, chilled house white wine to accompany our tempura courgette flowers - divine! I ate the fat spaghetti. Tasty! We were given a free dessert too - a delicious, sweet, cream pastry. Our service was very professional, helpful and very friendly. The young lady (with the cool glasses) was excellent. We are travellers and friendly, engaging, happy service makes us feel special. Your English is amazing. I loved your 10Kg traditional bread!! This is our highlight of Altamura!

Excellent restaurant. I tried three different antipasto and there were all delicious

In the heart of the city of Altamura, Tre Archi is a restaurant and pizzeria deeply rooted in Apulian culinary traditions, showcasing the essence of the Murgia region. It's a culinary destination that takes care of Altamura's cultural heritage and Apulian traditions, emphasizing seasonality and locally ingredients. The ambiance is cozy with distinct rooms and tables, ensuring a comfortable dining experience without feeling overcrowded. The cuisine in my opinion is exceptional, featuring appetizers like meat from local areas, along with pasta dishes like spaghetti with sponzale onions and oven-roasted cherry tomatoes, all complemented by speck. The dessert selection is extensive, inviting guests to indulge in a variety of sweet treats from the menu. After the meal, guests can retreat to an intimate, sophisticated room upstairs to enjoy excellent cigars and a selection of liqueurs and bitters.

I liked the food and the ambiance. I just don't think my pasta and glass of wine were worth 25 euros. After having eaten at other places nearby and seeing what 25 euros can buy you, this place felt pretentious. I felt it was about the looks and the money, not about making the customer feel comfortable. Things I liked: - Pretty interior - A cute way to serve a nibble before the food (on a mini tree — see photo) - Wine and pasta tasted good Things I didn't like: - The mini tree contained a single tarallo. This felt stingy. Why not make use of the other branches and offer me a couple more? - I was directly in the cold air stream of the A/C. When I told the waitress I felt cold, the A/C was turned off, and two minutes later it was turned on again. - When I finished the pasta, someone took away my plate and then I was left alone. No one asked if I wanted coffee, dessert or something else. After 20 minutes I got up and asked to pay.

Delicious food and very kind staff!

The food was fantastic, and the owner most helpful and kind! I should definitely recommend it! The pasta is handmade, the meat was delicious.

Best food ever! If you want to try Italian food rich in flavor, you have to visit this restaurant. The meat was flavorful and tender, and everything we ordered was spectacular. Morena and Alessandro were amazing. They are very attentive and offered great recommendations.

Wow, simply wow!!! The best food of my holidays and a true flavour experience. Super kind service and welcoming atmosphere. Also, incredible price-quality ratio. Were I to be living in Altamura, I would go there every week!

Excellent authentic dishes, extremely friendly and fast service, low prices! Many locals eat here. Highly recommended 👌

Typical local osteria, very busy, excellent food, nice staff. If you want to eat like locals, go straight there.

This is the place to eat. Delicious, authentic, affordable and such friendly staff. Everybody should come here, I cannot recommend it enough.

Very good foods and great services❤️ Surprised that we ordered a small glass in menu for Vino della Casa then turned out it’s a carafe 1/2 litter🤩

This was my first dining experience in Altamura. What a great surprise. The service was excellent, they brought me several appetizers from Puglia cuisine and chose a great local wine. I confess that it was a lot of food, but it was great.

Very nice Restaurant. Loads of tables, easily an option for a quick decision. Food is great, staff and chef are friendly and competent. Highly recommended

Eat meat, not fish. It is great, especially value for money.

A little oasis just outside Altamura's walls. Wonderful food and very friendly staff. The manager was great with suggestions and also served a couple of the restaurant's specialities for free.

Very good.

The BEST Italian restaurant in Italy!

Excellent sèrvice,excellent menu!!!

How anyone calls this a hidden gem I don’t know. Went on a couple positive reviews but got there and it was empty. Persevered. Mistake. Nobody came in the whole hour I was there. Food was below average and was like heated supermarket ready meals. All the “local appetisers” were so salty and hard to eat. Main was a plate of grilled meat which the waiter brought in through the front door, so never saw or heard it cooked. Dubious. It was very dry and again something that could be picked up at a supermarket stall. Really disappointed. Didn’t argue the over high charge as I just wanted out. Avoid, sadly.

We came at 19:35 and was alone (2 adults 3 young kids 12,8,7). They were welcoming and upfront said he is only serving local dishes and meat. He didn’t show us a menu, only when we asked after he served starters to realize the shared starters are 8 euro per person.. The starters had chinked that kids liked but he didn’t offer more, and we were shy to ask. Than main course was meat. Again, not from menu and price not clear. Two plates of meat, one with some sausages (not something the kids eat or like) and another plate with good steak. Overall experience was ok. However honest pricing should have been put out 40 euro for starters is a lot 36 euro for these two plates (shared by 5 people) is also a lot. Bill ended 94 euro for starters and two main courses. (Wine, water,cope) It was not terribly bad but We would not go back, we prefer to choose our course and honest reasonable pricing

Delicious food and attentive service! An authentic local dining experience in Altamura.

We were visiting Altamura and were recommended to Cenzino's. Went 2 nights in a row....it was that good. Peppino is an exceptional host. I recommend it highly. We were there in Oct-23

A genuinely unique, even old school experience. Unpretentious, a meat meal to remember and incredible value. Super personnel and un-trendy. Take your time with the set menu and be sure to try the Grappa after the exquisite lemon sorbet. Recommended!!:)

The expirience was amazing. A family owned restaurant passed from father to son for 4 generations. I had the best tagliata i ever ate. Worth the trip form Bari just to eat. Grazie signore Giuseppe Montemurno !

Amazing local dishes (antipasti and local meats), clean restaurant and good service. Ottimo vino.

(Translated by Google) A Milanese in Altamura? Well, it works! Small restaurant, a dozen tables, with local and non-local dishes. Altamura bread reigns supreme, with both land and sea products.

(Translated by Google) Very respectable tourist menu, from starter to main course all very good. Adequate quantities for a complete meal that does not weigh you down. In particular I liked the second courses presented on a bed of salad. Helpful and courteous owner, very patient with children even if they are busy. Small but welcoming place. Wonderful frescoes on the roof. (Original) Menù turistico di tutto rispetto, dall'antipasto al secondo tutto molto buono. Quantità adeguate ad un pasto completo che non appesantisce.

Meravigliosi affreschi sul tetto.

(Translated by Google) Passing through Altamura, we thought we'd stop in this place for lunch, also to taste the famous local bread. The restaurant is a distinguished and elegant place; the placement of the wines on the shelves, positioned along the side walls of the room, is extremely spectacular. We ordered the orecchiette with cherry tomatoes, rocket and cheese; tagliolini with courgette cream and a steak. Everything was to our liking. While waiting for our order to arrive, we were then served bruschetta accompanied by some local mozzarella (the plating was truly to be admired). It is right, however, to dedicate the final note to the staff. We were served by an extremely courteous, kind, friendly and nice man (I think he was the owner) who was also able to advise us on the choice of wine. His presence enriched our stay in the restaurant and brightened up our lunch! When we pass through Altamura, we will definitely return to this wonderful restaurant! (Original) Di passaggio da Altamura, abbiamo pensato di fermarci in questo posto per il pranzo, anche per assaporare il famoso pane locale. Il ristorante è un posto distinto ed elegante; la collocazione dei vini sulle mensole, posizionate lungo le pareti laterali della sala, è estremamente scenografica. Abbiamo ordinato le orecchiette con pomodorini, rucola e cacio; i tagliolini con crema di zucchine ed una bistecca. È stato tutto di nostro gradimento. Nell'attesa dell'arrivo del nostro ordine, poi, sono state servite delle bruschette accompagnate da alcune mozzarelline locali (l'impiattamento era veramente da ammirare). È doveroso, però, dedicare la nota finale al personale. Siamo stati serviti da un uomo (credo fosse il proprietario) estremamente cortese, gentile, cordiale, simpatico che ci ha saputi anche consigliare in merito alla scelta del vino. La sua presenza ha arricchito la nostra permanenza nel locale ed ha rallegrato il nostro pranzo! Quando passeremo da Altamura, sicuramente torneremo in questo meraviglioso ristorante!
