Step outside the main dining centre of Monopoli to find this hidden gem. Metae is a must to try when in Monopoli. Chef Massimo uses local fresh ingredients in a unique way to create an incredibly interesting and delicious dining experience. I came here with my tour group and Massimo created a divine menu for us which was just perfect. Our wonderful waiter Enzo bought us the perfect accompaniment of local wines which were also a standout. This is my 4th time dining at Metae and it won’t be my last. Hands down uniquely diverse and delicious menu and a must when visiting Monopoli. Definitely book before hand.

The restaurant is located in the heart of Monopoli, just steps from the quaint alleys of the historic center.
The restaurant is intimate and bright, with clean, well-finished lines. Owner Enzo and his staff pamper guests with extreme kindness, offering passionate advice and making the experience a family affair. The cuisine is refined, with seafood dishes revisited with a modern twist, thanks to the freshest ingredients.

We had lunch on a Wednesday in August and were truly amazed by the owners' friendliness, the quality of the ingredients, and the dishes served. A special mention goes to the green tomato sauce, worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Extremely well-maintained restaurant and delicious, fresh food. Special mention for the appetizers, including raw sea bream and calamari tagliatelle, and the first course, ravioli and shrimp tartare, was delicious. All this was accompanied by attentive service and the very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

An intimate restaurant with attentive service, a calm and select atmosphere, original and signature cuisine, and a contrasting flavor of seafood and pasta. The shrimp ravioli is highly recommended, although my favorite dish was the pasta with squid; the sea bream carpaccio was also exquisite. A peaceful place where you can savor excellent cuisine.
