10/10Attentive service, traditional decor, fresh fish and wood oven pizza as well as a good selection of wine make the restaurant a great choice. We were not given the fork discount on our food purchase.

7/10Beautiful place, very elegantly appointed and excellent service. The appetisers were lovely and quite varied. Unfortunately our main dishes were a little less predictable. The pizza was fine but the meat dish and the fried seafood less so. The meat dish (entrecôte) was gristly and chewy and the fried seafood was battered (though we asked for it not to be). Additionally, despite the restaurant being almost empty on a cool wet night, waiting staff placed a family with child right next to us and the child ranted for most of the evening. We could barely hear each other and had to leave early. In such a very elegant and not inexpensive restaurant it would be wise to place customers with children at a distance if at all possible. Some peace and quiet is a reasonable expectation.

it is truely the best ristorante near monachile beach. Just walk 8 min from the main bridge, then you can meet the food on higher level. They are not using the technic of being so salty to seal the empty of flavor, so the pasta waa literally fine. Also, you can see many local people's dining meeting here!

9.5/10Location is stunning, truly. The risotto with shrimp was be of the best ever. Service was a bit strained as we were there on a peak season evening, though everyone was perfectly nice and professional. Recommend this lovely spot. If you’re a couple I recommend asking for a table which flanks the orange grove.

10/10Absolutely a pleasure! Wonderful service. Extremely accomodating! The food was amazing! The chef offered to modify almost anything on the very large menu to make it gluten free for me! DELICIOUS!! We returned for a second night for dinner because the food and the service were that good! And on top of that the ambiance was beautiful! Our table overlooked an orange grove… we took pictures after dinner under the lights… magical!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND going a bit off the piazza for this gem💗💗💗💗Thank you for two truly special dinner experiences in Polignano a Mare💗😘😘 Diane and Enrico

A Hidden Gem in an Orange Grove! What a charming and delightful restaurant! Everything—from the food to the ambiance and service—was a perfect 10/10. Nestled among orange trees on a hilltop overlooking the city, this represents a destination restaurant and menu. Dining on the terrace was especially romantic, with the setting sun reflecting off the buildings of Polignano a Mare. An unforgettable experience!

9.5/10The raw seafood is absolutely delicious, the mixed fish is grilled perfectly. The staff is friendly and service is so smoothly, this is a staff that’s professional and welcoming without being intrusive. Next visit to the Pugla region we will stop in Polignano specially for a delicious diner here again

This restaurant was our favourite in Polignano a mare. The villa is next to an orange grove, for dinner you can sit outside in the romantic terrace and for lunch we were seated in one of the halls of the villa, which has a very unique and elegant ambience. The quality of the food is exceptional and the waiters were very professional and attentive.

9.5/10We had a pizza as an appetizer. It was very good. The dough is special. Then we had grilled sea bream and French fries. The fish was delicious. It was boned expertly by the server. The fries were uniquely shaped and perfectly done. Our table was very private on a balcony.
