We were ignored for 40 minutes after being seated so we left.

We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience and completely understand how frustrating it can be. Unfortunately, for second seating reservations — especially on weekends — there is a margin of flexibility, as the timing depends on when the previous guests finish their meal. This means the reservation time is indicative rather than exact. We do our best to minimize any waiting, and this policy is also clearly stated in the booking details on TheFork. We genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding.

Beautiful view from the ocean but mediocre food and service. Not friendly to Americans. Not worth the visit and money .We were extremely disappointed!

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’re so glad we made a reservation for during our time in Monopoli.

The service was blasé. The food was worse. I had tuna tartar it was served refrigerator cold and had no spices at all no olive oil no capers no nothing. It was expensive cold and bland. The grilled vegetables were mushy and over cooked and you got it bland. I had what they claimed was turbot. Thik little fillets fried. Not at all interesting tasteless except for a bit fishy. Never seen turbot like this.

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your thoughts and are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. For the tuna tartare, we ensure that it is stored at the appropriate temperature to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. We strive for a balance of flavors, which is why we often serve our dishes with minimal seasoning to enhance the natural flavor. Olive oil and other condiments are always available at the table and we encourage our guests to customize their dishes to their liking. For the grilled vegetables and turbot, we appreciate your feedback and will definitely take it into consideration as we strive to improve. Your satisfaction is important to us and we hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future!

We loved the setting, the style of the restaurant. The food was good but not outstanding. Apart from one elderly gentleman and a lady waiter we felt the waiters were rather arrogant and dismissive of us. No attention to detail, food rather slapped down. We enjoyed the piano player.

Average food, price not. Pasta was served overcooked, the octopus was rubbery and sorbet served melted. The dessert was not really impressing, but the location yes.

Extremely overpriced food. Small fillet of fish 58 euros, had the same quality previous night at local restaurant, 12 euros. Sides no included. All extras. Nothing special. Ambiance lacking. Felt like hotel reception. Would not go again and would no recommend

The prices are high, the quality OK. You can expect a good, overpriced fish, which fillitated in front of you - sadly not nice. They left a lot of meat. Of course it is OK to pay for the View, but we expected more

This is what we call in English, all fur coat and no knickers. There is no finesse here. The staff arrived for their shifts on scooters through the bar area while we had cocktails waiting for our table, my name was wrong on the reservation, the waitress spilt most of my margarita in the tray she was carrying and didn’t apologise or offer to top it up. the waiters are unprofessional and speak to you in a very base and rude manner, the food is awful. My husband ordered prawns for starters and they were not cleaned. They didn’t even know what that meant and just said “it’s fresh”. I was given one choice of white wine on the menu by the glass as they said they had run out of all the white wine even though we saw the delivery come through the bar. The vegetables we ordered were grilled within an inch of their lives and the fish we ordered was butchered on a dirty table next to Netil there was vertically nothing left and the heads given back to us on a plate that was chucked on the table. The restaurant design and setting is beautiful, but it was more than half empty and now we know why.

Beautiful location by the sea cliffs. And equally fabulous food to match the views. I was treated to lunch by my 2 friends. Food was amazing. We had oysters and champagne followed by grilled fish of the day and a bottle of 5 Roses Rose wine. Perfect lunch in a perfect setting
