Easter Monday 2026, lunch with friends at Monsignore Pizzeria and Restaurant in Mattinata. Great place, friendly people, and excellent food.

Always happy to return, despite the years, the Giardino di Monsignore restaurant and beach club remain a guarantee of taste, elegance, and excellent value. A little more attention to customer service from the dining room staff would be welcome.

LOCATION: The Lido Giardino di Monsignore Pizzeria and Restaurant is located in Contrada Torre del Porto in Mattinata. A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: This restaurant is well-known among tourists and locals alike. When you arrive, you can enjoy an incredible view of the sea. Especially at sunset, when the sun disappears behind the rocks, the sea is tinged with various colors. On the several occasions I've been, I've enjoyed both the fish-based first and second courses, as well as the pizzas. Each dish reflects the tradition of the Gargano. The restaurant has ample parking, a significant detail in an area that's very busy during the summer months. The photographs I took are testimonies that tell a story, more than a thousand words. FUN FACT: DID YOU KNOW THAT...? The Port Tower was one of the ancient coastal towers built in the 16th century to guard against Ottoman pirate raids. CONCLUSION: If you enjoyed this read, I invite you to discover my other reviews.

It was a more than positive experience from all points of view.

A wonderful discovery. We hadn't heard of this place, but we'll definitely be back. We had spectacular mussels with pepper sauce and the best fried fish we've ever had. Not to mention the cianguilerie, some truly delicious traditional sweets. Equally important is the truly relaxing and well-maintained location. We were also satisfied with the bill. The portions and quality were unparalleled. We'll definitely be back, it's a charming place.
