18/01/2025: The Locanda sul Porto in Monopoli is a true masterpiece of local gastronomy, especially for those who want to taste the freshest fish prepared with skill. We chose this restaurant for a dinner with friends from America and Venezuela, and both we and they were more than satisfied. The dishes, in addition to being abundant and with attention to detail, were so good that I didn't have time to photograph everything we ordered: we let ourselves be won over by the goodness and started eating immediately. What I managed to immortalize however gives an idea of the extraordinary quality.
The restaurant is a perfect balance of authentic food, generous portions and fair prices. It is not one of those "tourist" places that are found everywhere and where you end up paying a lot without actually tasting the real Apulian cuisine. Here, however, quality is at home, both for locals and tourists. If you are looking for a place to eat fresh and genuine fish, without spending a fortune but without giving up taste and experience, this is the perfect place.
We appreciated every detail: the incredible service, with a helpful waiter capable of communicating in English, which made everything easier for our foreign friends. The location is very pleasant, both inside, with an intimate and well-furnished room, and outside, where we had dinner enjoying a suggestive view of the port. Even outdoors the atmosphere was fantastic, a perfect mix of tranquility and charm.
I highly recommend La Locanda sul Porto to anyone coming to Monopoli and wanting to avoid the usual overly touristy places, where you pay dearly without getting real quality. Here you eat very well, you pay the right amount and you have an authentic experience. A true gem from the south, ideal for those who love good food and want to discover the authentic flavors of this land!
