What an amazing experience, authentic exceptional food and the friendliest hospitality ever, incredible people , if you want a real meal with amazing service and a warm friendly experience, go no further

Best food this trip hands down. This restaurant serves authentic Italian food from this region. The atmosphere is funky and fun with old vinyl record covers and snapshots of customers over the years tacked up on the walls. The staff is friendly and down to earth. I had the special of the day which was amazing. It wasn’t on the menu so I can’t tell you the name but it was little homemade gnocchi with chickpeas and little clams. It was delicious and really something special. Don’t miss this hidden gem just off the beaten path.

We had such a lovely dinner here! The fried sea food platter was fresh and super tasty! It has a mix of octopus, calamari, sardine and shrimp! We also really liked the pasta with tuna and aubergine dish. And the service here was wonderful too. The father takes the orders and the son cooks. They were so warm and friendly!

Happy to have read the reviews. The place is genuine and down to earth. The owners are super friendly and will make sure you are happy and well served. The bacon pistachio dish was sensational

One of the best restaurants in Polignano. Very authentic atmosphere. The service was great and the dishes are very delicious. Octopus soup was amazing!

Authentic and prompt service! Family run business (father takes order and son cooks) and they make customers feel very at home. Food is amazingly good too! Fresh seafood yet price is very reasonable. Portions are very generous too. 5mins walk from the city centre and might be abit difficult to find as the signage is discoloured due the sun. Worth the find!

Great, family owned restaurant.The food is very fresh, simple but extremely tasty.It’s exactly what you are searching for when you want to eat traditional seafood in Italy or at least, it’s what we are always looking for. The only slight downside is that it is not located by the sea but maybe it’s better this way. The prices are fair and the staff attitude is excellent.It’s like you are invited to an italian family dinner. The owner even offered to remove the bones from the fish, for our two year old daughter. Thank you very much and keep up the great work!
