Elite Caffe In Mola di bari

28/08/2025: Situated in a truly enchanting setting, the Locanda overlooks Monopoli's picturesque old port, perfect for a romantic dinner or a relaxed lunch with a sea view. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with well-maintained outdoor seating and intimate indoor dining rooms. The menu focuses on fresh fish, raw seafood, and tartare, with dishes rooted in Puglia's tradition. We sampled raw shellfish, sautéed mussels and clams, tuna tartare, fried anchovies with barbecue sauce, and tagliolini with squid ink, clams, and basil pesto—all delicious.

28/08/2025: Compared to other restaurants in the area, this one doesn’t shine. The food was reasonably good however nothing stood out as particularly tasty. The dishes are quite traditional. Price is very reasonable. Probably one of the best places to eat fish for less than €20 if you want (if you order two courses you are likely looking at around €20-25 pp). I recommend booking as there is a long queue outside. Service was up and down, on one hand waiters were knowledgeable and food was served in a timely matter. On the other hand other, when we complained about a dish we were met with arguments, and don’t expect a refund or discount.
