Masseria Torre Catena In Polignano a mare

01/03/2026: I spent Sunday lunch with my family and had an experience that exceeded my expectations. Fresh raw seafood and expertly cooked food. The service was excellent, and the restaurant manager was impeccable. A restaurant like no other. Highly recommended.

08/02/2026: None of us are exactly sure why we chose this restaurant, especially since many of us had planned on pizza, and the menu doesn't offer much. When we sat down, we noticed the prices were a bit more conservative than we'd expected. So, many of us changed our minds and ordered a lot of different things. Unfortunately, the service, while friendly, was incredibly slow. We arrived at 8:30 PM, asked to order around 8:45 PM, and finally ordered shortly after 9 PM. Unfortunately, the food didn't arrive until 10 PM, but I think there was some problem in the kitchen, because I could see everyone was very nervous, and these things happen. The worst part, however, is that we ordered appetizers and main courses, which should have arrived first, but instead, the cold appetizers arrived immediately, the hot ones after 45 minutes, the first and second courses arrived immediately after, and the pizzas a little later. So some people had eaten and finished everything, some had two dishes, and some still hadn't had anything. And in a respectable restaurant, at a large table, the cold appetizers should be parked and brought out with the hot ones, since they were per person, so everyone could eat together. And it's a real shame, because everything was delicious: the pasta was creamy, the fillet was delicious, the fried food was tasty and fresh. Everything was high-quality. In the end, around 11 pm, we still had two appetizers and a pizza to go, which we had to forgo. Then two extra fried foods appeared on the bill... In short, high-quality dishes, forgettable management, a real shame. We got desserts elsewhere; we didn't want to tempt our luck.
