4.5/10Main course Food was lukewarm warm and that is being generous. Young male waiter needs a new career, while female waiter was excellent. I suspect the issue with food temp was based on tardiness of young male waiter to deliver the food in a timely manner!

10/10The tuna was fresh and beautifully cooked. The service was friendly and excellent. The restaurant was easy to find - a large sign outside.

10/10The seared tuna main course was OUTSTANDING. We are extreme food snobs. This was the perfect amount and the taste was out of this world! Service was amazing and the waitstaff tolerated us practicing our very rudimentary Italian with good humor and helpfulness. The wine recommendation was very good! The octopus antipasti was not as tender as I became accustomed to while in Puglia. I learned (and saw) that the fishermen beat the octopus meat against the rocks at seaside to tenderize the octopus in this region. Perhaps this restaurant is not buying from the best fishermen? Otherwise, the dinner was delicious. We really enjoyed our meal here and highly recommend.

+1We had THE best meal. We don’t often get a meal as a couple (kids and low budget) so we threw caution to the wind and decided to have one, good night out to ourselves and spend a little more than normal. I thanked the chefs and the waiter as I explained, this was the best meal we had ever had.

7/10Nice atmosphere in the evening with ambient music. Food was average. Why serving "foreign" seafood when you have the med some hundred steps away. Food was rather blend. We would have appreciated the chefs seasoning to max the taste. Quite pricy when taking into consideration the size of the dishes. Would recommend to do something with the ammenities of the restaurant. You'll get air-fried when using the restroom as it is placed right above the kitchen. There is room to improve.

Really great experience. Very attentive staff. Excellent care put into meal. I tried one of each course. Everything was great, but the standouts were the gnocchi and the local catch carpaccio (I had sea bass) The staff took excellent care of me. Highly recommend.

Have had many good and average dinners in our extended trip though Italy. Our food at Cru was at the top, they must have some chef. We had 4 dishes the Octopus, Salmon, Sardine Pasta and the marinated Amberjack they were all nothing short of sensational. Usually you get a hit and a miss I could go on about the different qualities of each dish we had, but really just go there

8/10Very good food – small portions, but beautifully presented. The wine was a bit of a disappointment: we paid €30 for a bottle we later saw at the airport for €12 :) As for the view – I know it’s not the restaurant’s fault, but the building across the street is under renovation and covered in scaffolding netting.

very nice restaurant with fish based menu. the scallops were our favorite appetizer and the tuna ravioli was very good. apart from the pasta the portions focused on presentation more so than quantity. the service was very good and the atmosphere was nice albeit we ate outside in the alley.

10/10The location and the very kind and polite service ! The food was very tasteful . They were not pretentious though other restaurants with much less to offer are so full of themselves. We had lunch 4 persons and we very pleasantly surprised. The reviews were very positive and we discovered they were absolutely right . Bravi !

Right near the historic district and the town beach. Excellently prepared dishes and lovely wine. Very reasonable prices and friendly staff fluent in English. Choices unique enough to make it very appealing.

10/10The restaurant location is the very center of Polignano a Mare, very beautiful and suggestive. The restaurant is very cute and cozy, but don't let this fool you cause we have never experienced such simple, tasty yet sofisticated food. It was a crazy wonderful experience and service and staff were just so good and nice that we're planning to come back to enjoy the amazing selection of dishes ASAP. I WOULD RATE EVERYTHING 11 IF POSSIBLE. Thank you!

10/10Very little seating indoors at counter only. Best food we had in 10 days in Puglia and in much longer in UK. High quality preparation and presentation. Suspect they are heading for a Michelin star if they keep it up.

We had an incredible experience at this restaurant. The chef plays with the eyes and the mouth of his customers making you agreeably surprised for each meal. Moreover the rest of the team is amazingly welcoming and kind. Finally the price is really reasonable, a higher price will not be surprising at all. We highly recommend to go there.
