Service

The most stunning setting for a meal, watching the sunset and the sea with the piano playing and perfect warm lighting in the restaurant. The service was both efficient and friendly. Gave recommendations for food and wine, all was incredible. Was a really special meal that we&rsquo;re so glad we made a reservation for during our time in Monopoli.

Not only was the sushi creative and delicious, the staff went out of their way to make our evening special. Someone in our family wasn&rsquo;t feeling well and there are no taxis in the area. Without hesitation, the staff offered to drive us home and refused to take any money for it. Truly service and small town kindness at its best. Grazie mille

Really enjoyable dining experience at Metae. Staff very welcoming. Service excellent. The food was exceptional. Really delicious and beautifully presented. The waiter was most helpful and accommodating and really took an interest in helping us make food choices that worked. Exceptional value for such high quality food. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

The food &amp; service were excellent! Our only complaint was that the music was very loud and strange - loud enough to make conversation difficult and odd enough to have the music selection be the topic we were trying to discuss.

A small restaurant in the centre of town. From the very start we felt welcomed by all the staff. Courteous friendly and helpful. The selection on the menu was varied and all appealed. When we indicated that we intended sharing certain dishes it was no problem.  The ingredients are of high quality and all freshly cooked. This is Italian regional cooking at its best. Portions are generous without being excessive. Highlights were an appetiser based on asparagus with a yellow tomato sauce, delicious, thank heavens for bread to wipe the plate clean and not waste anything. The pasta with prawns and asparagus also excellent and would order again. . We shared a main based on sucking pig also excellent and perfectly cooked. Sadly too full for desert. We will probably return again even though only staying in the area for 4 nights. Thank you for an excellent enjoyable meal in your delightful restaurant.

The food was good, but we especially liked the atmosphere. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The menu is also available in English. We booked through The Fork with a discount, but also without it you&#39;d definitely get value for your money. We only spent 2 days in Taranto, but otherwise we would definitely have been back.

All was amazing. Lovely staff and impeccable food. The place is just magical.

CarloQuinto was one of my favorite culinary experiences in Puglia. Gorgeous view of the ocean from your table and the staff is extremely efficient, kind, and hospitable. Every bite is a masterpiece and their Spritz is delicious! I really enjoyed my lunch here and would eat here every day if I could!

Great service, awesome food with good ambiance! The fish and chips were amazing the hot wings were very delicious! Thanks for a great experience!

The presentation of the fresh catch pre ordering at the table. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ambience of dining area, framed by massive wood doors with view the piazza. Complementary digestives. Enthusiastic sommelier. Delicious and well presented meals.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The seafood salad was fresh and well-seasoned, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A great spot for a relaxing lunch.

Apart from the fact that the entry level of wine was &euro;25 (great wine though) we had a lovely dinner with absolutely delicious food. (Christmas decorations could go down after Easter, but that&#39;s just a touch to be picky). Also the surroundings are magical. Must visit!

We loved this place . It was a highlight of our trip . The food , the service , the ambience. dominco was an excellent host as well as luca and tbe older gentleman thar served us!

Great location near the water in Covo dei Saraceni. Splendid menu focusing on local seafood. All prepared simply and properly.  Fine waitstaff.  Maybe the best restaurant in  Polignano a Mare.

Beautiful place. Very quiet when we first got there at 8pm but then really picked up and there was a jazz band on later, glad we decided to stay despite it being quiet when we first arrived.

I had a fantastic birthday celebration here! The service was welcoming and organized, and the quality of the meals was exceptional. The panoramic view added to the overall charm of the evening.

The atmosphere is beautifully decorated, and the food is delicious. We&#39;ll definitely be back to try other dishes.

The service here is friendly and efficient, making it a welcoming place for families. The fast service ensures that everyone can enjoy their meals without long waits.

This restaurant offers a cozy vibe with excellent service. The food presentation is top-notch, and the quality is outstanding.

Highly recommend this restaurant for its ability to cater to food allergies while maintaining a private and elegant dining environment.

Good quality and tasty food, reasonable price, nice staff, I will definitely try there again if I am in the area.

I was really intrigued by this place and I have to say the food is great. The service and staff, however, was really disappointing. They forgot one of the burgers which was served 20 minutes after the others but without chips. The staff wasn&rsquo;t very friendly nor welcoming or polite. It&rsquo;s such a shame as the food is exceptional but we won&rsquo;t be going back because of bad service/ staff.I think the place would need a better trained staff and more organisation, especially because it&rsquo;s a big restaurant which serves different kinds of dishes.

Spectacular setting and creative spin on traditional, classic cuisine. Professional, friendly service. Exceptional wine service by a knowledgeable and well grounded sommelier- with a deep appreciation of the indigenous varietals for which puglia is known. This was an experience that I will look forward to having again.

The restaurant was packed but the staff was lovely and handled the volume with good humor. The pizza and pasta dishes were fantastic.

Lovely place overlooking orange grove . Excellent service and food excellent. We had a cheese and meat board to share for starters then we has pizza . The chefs special with weird combo of dough , octopus,orange fennel and potatoes on pizza was very good

What a fabulous restaurant! We were a group of 6 adults and every course was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were very efficient and friendly.

A wonderful, memorable dinner! Terrific food in a traditional, warm atmosphere with exceptional service.  Highly recommended!

Despite some initial hiccups with service timing, the overall experience was enjoyable, with delicious dishes that are worth the wait.
