Aresta LA Braceria In Monopoli

Excellent cuts of dry-aged grilled meat in addition to the classic Apulian ready-to-cook repertoire

Meat and appetizers of the highest quality

Amazing place , food and people!

It should be noted, in my opinion, that ARESTA is not a simple, traditional grill restaurant. Or rather, it's much more than a simple, traditional, and quaint neighborhood grill restaurant, as one might legitimately expect. Top-notch quality, excellent meats, prime cuts, and an endless variety of appetizers, including braised beef on mashed potatoes and beef tartare with onion and pistachio granola, are every bit as good as Cannavacciuolo's. I find the quality/price ratio excellent; you pay for quality, and so does the owner! The impeccable cleanliness, the courtesy and friendliness of everyone, the sheer professionalism, and the sublime handmade desserts complete the picture. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking the qualities described, and I wish the delightful owner and everyone who works there a sincere "ad maiora."

Great atmosphere, delicious food and super friendly and fast staff

A family atmosphere with great food and good service

Everything was perfect, the service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was great. For starters, the zucchine alla poverella, a local specialty, is a must. Don't hesitate to add some of their olive oil, it's delicious 😋 As for the meat 🥩, it's simply the best I've ever eaten in my life 👌🏻 Bravo to the entire team at this restaurant!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a fantastic place! My husband and I, traveling from the United States to Italy, had a wonderful evening here! The atmosphere is priceless: if you're looking for elegantly unpretentious places, this osteria isn't for you. The atmosphere here is familiar and friendly; even if you go alone, you feel like you're sitting at a table with a large group of friends. The staff is incredibly kind, the appetizers are out of this world, and the meat is excellent. The grill is on, there are tables full of friends under the pergola, family chatter... the simplicity of a truly Italian evening with excellent food and lots of smiles. Highly recommended!

Frequento questo posto da 20 anni Servizio super, personale top, Luigi e Antonella fantastici! La felicità è qui, la Puglia è qui!!!!! se volete mangiare bene e passare una serata Made in sud non potete nn andare da Aresta . Non solo carne ( ricercata e buonissima), ma anche frittelle, polpette, antipasti della tradizione !!!!! Ci abbiamo lasciato il cuore.

Da Luigi e Antonella sarai sorpreso perché se le carni alla brace e le famose bombette sono una certezza, quello che cucina Rossella e che sembra un antipasto e’ in realtà una cucina pugliese ricca di sapori e colori. Non mancate le braciole , le costine e le zucchine alla poverella
