Or feel free to visit our main branch in Bari, where we have had years of experience creating wonderful dishes, which we now bring to you in London.The most important ingredients that we use in creating our dishes are actually imported directly from local producers and farmers from the Puglia region.We use very little yeast in our dough for both our homemade bread and pizzas and the proving process is a minimum of 72 hours.We, Sassa & Sons, are bringing Italian style cooking to you using our grandma’s recipes, unchanged in every way.

    We were sat a table for 2 by the toilets, with little space around us for staff or customers to pass our table. We shared a pizza which was average. The pasta at other tables smelled nice. 1hr in we were informed the table had another reservation, so we just got the bill. Walking out the restaurant seemed very popular by 7pm but I wouldn't go again.

    Apulia is a small Italian restaurant in Smithfield with a reliable menu that offers something a little out of the ordinary.

    Authentic food and good wine. Plenty of options for meat eaters with limited vegetarian mains options. Possibly not the best place for vegans or fussy vegetarians like me who doesn't eat mushroom. Margherita pizza was lovely and my friends had meat based pasta which they really enjoyed. Ambient and able to have a conversations between us. Service was pleasant and professional.

    Too noisy because so many people (especially young people) don't know how to behave properly.

    My first visit tonight - the food was delicious!! Can’t believe I haven’t been here before considering I work around the corner! Really great buzzy atmosphere for a Wednesday evening too.

    Authentic southern Italian food… great for a lazy lunch. We’re going back because the pizzas looked fantastic too!

    I have been eating at Apulia for years. Love the food and that last minute booking is easy. But this time it was made obvious they wanted our table back and the Manager was pushing our waitress to get us out. Not a great experience
