La Lampara Sui Colli In Monopoli

We visited this wonderful restaurant in the hilly area of ​​Monopoli for Mother's Day and returned for a family Sunday. What can I say? Both times, the lunch was sublime: exceptional raw seafood, sublime fish, and the staff was professional, competent, and above all attentive. A special mention goes to Mr. Bartolomeo, the owner, a wonderful person, disarmingly kind. I absolutely highly recommend this corner of paradise. Chimenti Family

For starters, we had raw seafood, very fresh, a delight: langoustines, shrimp, mussels, and cockles. The seafood risotto had firm yet creamy rice, but we didn't really see any seafood in it—something to keep in mind in the kitchen 😉. We had a tasting of syrups/alcohol, which was interesting. Panna cotta with homemade syrup. And a very good wine recommended by the waiter.

There's no better place to have lunch...with friends!!!! Everything fresh!!!! Bartolo is the best

Refined food, the risotto is simply fantastic.

I returned after a few years and was very disappointed, especially with the poor quality starter and the second course (fried and mixed grill) served cold and tasteless, so I will never return, I'm sorry.

I've known this restaurant for over 10 years, and every time I return with my family, it's always a pleasure to see that the quality hasn't changed significantly. The restaurant is well-maintained, clean, and welcoming, both inside and out; the tables are beautifully set, even when there aren't any receptions. All the food I've tried has always been top-notch, from appetizers to desserts. I particularly highlight the deliciousness of the "Risotto alla Lampara," one of my favorite dishes. The staff is highly qualified, helpful, and professional. Even the background music is a delightful accompaniment to lunches and dinners. Excellent value. I highly recommend this restaurant, even for small receptions. P.S. - I hope to return soon, perhaps in a season other than summer 😁

Excellent very good restaurant Excellent a very good dinner

Best restaurant I've ever tried
