Il Punto Cardinale Apulian Food & Wine In Monopoli

Small trattoria, welcoming thanks to a rustic environment with attention to detail. The feeling is that of dining in a family environment also thanks to the affable ways of the owner who is able to immediately empathize with the guests. Tasty dishes of excellent quality, expertly defined flavors.

Buon locale per mangiare. Unica pecca, ho aspettato molto tra una portata e l’altra. Ottimo anche il dolce e le delizie locali.

Small and traditional place, welcoming like the owner who puts you at ease with kindness. Very good and homemade flavours. The brasciole were cooked excellently as were the bombette. I recommend the orecchiette with turnip greens and tasting the homemade limoncello.

Dear compatriots! There is no point in going and looking, there is good energy here! Here is the real taste of the south of Italy! I RECOMMEND!

If you are looking for truly home-made cuisine from Puglia, it is worth eating here! Delicious food with the best quality ingredients! Homely atmosphere! The master chef is Sergio and Antonella is the good spirit of the place! I recommend!

During a recent visit to Monopoli, I had the pleasure of having lunch at the Il Punto Cardinale restaurant, a place that perfectly embodies traditional Apulian cuisine. Each dish was a journey into the authentic flavors of the region, with the freshest ingredients and recipes prepared with care and passion. The flavors were balanced and genuine, without forcing, best enhancing the simplicity and quality of the raw material. Another strong point is certainly the service: Antonella was incredibly kind and helpful, always smiling and attentive to every detail. His way of welcoming guests makes the experience even more pleasant, creating a family atmosphere that truly makes you feel at home. If you are in Monopoli and want to enjoy excellent food in a welcoming and refined environment, Il Punto Cardinale is a perfect choice. Absolutely recommended!

Everything perfect. Nothing to say.

On Monopoli, I dare say, the only one that offers a welcoming, kind, friendly, professional service. Orecchiette with turnip tops THE TOP. EXCELLENT recommended wine. Well done, well done, well done!

One of the best dining experiences of my life! First of all, the courtesy of the staff needs to be specified, both in the way they behave and in making us feel "at home". The food EXQUISITE!!! Starting from the appetizer, grandma's fabulous meatballs... moving on to the first courses with a sauce that tasted like "grandma from the South" and the BREAD!!! An artisanal bread that allows you to make a slipper that leaves your plate clean!!!! So much so that we don't have photos of any dishes because of how good they were. If we ever return to the area, we will definitely return!!!!

Il Punto Cardinale è una chicca, ambiente dall'arredo ricercato, rilassante, i piatti sono gustosi, i servizi igienici sono intonsi. È uno di quei posti da frequentare quando non si ha fretta, il numero dei tavoli è limitato, le pietanze vengono preparate al momento, come richiede l'accademia della buona cucina. Il rapporto qualità /prezzo è molto buono. Il gradimento ottenuto dal locale è tale che abbiamo dovuto attendere 3 giorni per ottenere un tavolo da due persone! Complimenti ai gestori e al cuoco!
