This was a nice restaurant and I went for the suggestions of the chef for the Appetizer. The whole creation was good, they told me that there were tuna inside the dish which I didn’t like so I changed it, but then there was also swordfish in it which I didn’t like either, but that’s not the fault of the restaurant. All in all I had higher expectations then the food I got there so only four stars, but still I can warmly recommend this restaurant

Our dining experience here was fabulous. The food was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. Our main host and all of the waiters were lovely and went above and beyond. For the price you pay, you get a luxurious and special experience and a warm greeting from all of the staff. It was quiet, as it’s just off of the beaten track, but don’t let that put you off and please go here.

Fantastic menu of delicious dishes plus excellent wine list. Super attentive service from so many very polite and friendly staff. Not cheap but definitely worth the premium for such high quality. We had sea bass and squid ink pasta with monkfish to die for. Absolutely a must visit in Monopoli.

We dined here during our trip in October. It was a slow weekend so we didn’t have any problems getting a reservation. The food and staff were wonderful. Everything we ate was perfectly prepared. They had a nice wine selection from across the region.

Probably the most elegant terrace in Monopoli. The service is also top notch. The cutlery and crockery are also very pleasant. The dishes and the selection are great... almost too much, it's hard to decide. Nevertheless, we were very satisfied and enjoyed the presentation and every bite. One small downside was that some of the plates had probably been under the salamander for too long. The organic wine was a delight, and coffee and an elegant grappa rounded off the lovely evening perfectly.
