    We 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.

    Nice 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

    Very 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.

    The 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.

    The 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!

    Very 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.

    This is a must visit in Poligano a Mare. The food was thoughtful, interesting, and delicious, and the service was wonderful. It was a Michelin star experience at a great value, with attentive and kind service. Highly recommend.

    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.

    This was the most wonderful meal in every way. We were seated at the counter surrounding the open kitchen and I’ve never seen a calmer more efficient restaurant kitchen. Cudos to the chef who plates every single plate, down to the herbs. The food was diverse and divine , especially the polpo on a potato mousse that I’d like to take home to America with me. The service was perfect and we will try to return before we leave this beautiful town. Thank you so much Cru Fish Bar!

    I can describe it with three letters “WOW”. It was a mind blowing food experience. We have tried several starters and tow mains. All of them were tasting amazing. The tuna was at its best. The service was excellent. Very attentive and helpful. The location is in the old town, very enigmatic. When we are back to Polignano, we will be back to Cru!
