An amazing dinner. The place was very busy, so make a reservation. It was well worth it though for great service and food.

We happened to chance on the restaurant whilst exploring the older part of the town. Read the amazing reviews and we then made reservations via WhatsApp. They just reopened today 1 April after a vacation break. They were very kind to guide us in their menu. We shared a salad- couscous di legume antichi. And we ordered the octopus and the tuna which was both done perfect. Couldn’t resist a dessert which was a lemon meringue pie with coffee inside.

A true culinary gem in Polignano a Mare!
If you're wondering what authentic Italian food is, just spend an evening at Mint Cucina Fresca – and you'll know: Wow, THIS is Italian cuisine! Chef Fabrizio conjures up a true taste sensation with every dish. It's as if he captures the Apulian sun, the sea, and his love for his homeland in every ingredient. The food is so fresh, full of flavor, and so expertly prepared that every bite is a feast for the palate. The tuna, in particular, is an absolute must-try!
But it's not just the food that makes this restaurant so special. The owner herself, who lovingly attends to her guests, adds a personal touch to the evening. Her warmth and attentiveness make the visit an unforgettable experience. You feel welcome from the very first moment, almost like you're among friends.
The ambiance of Mint Cucina Fresca is simply unique. The cozy ambiance, warm lighting, and charming decor create a welcoming atmosphere that invites you to linger. Here, you don't just enjoy a meal, but an entire evening filled with pleasure, relaxation, and genuine Italian joie de vivre.
For me, one thing is certain: anyone who wants to experience Italy with all its culinary highlights simply mustn't miss Mint Cucina Fresca. An absolute gem and a heartfelt recommendation. We came on two evenings. Should we ever find ourselves in Polignano again, we will definitely return! Bravo, Fabrizio and team!

Highly recommended, but also highly recommend making a reservation. Due to it being quaint the chances are slim of getting a table upon walk in.

Thank you so much, MINT! 😀

I won't use too many words to describe what wasn't just a dinner, but an experience. We felt at home, welcomed and pampered, in a truly comfortable environment. The dishes were excellent and refined, and the owners were truly delightful. I don't have much else to add, other than to absolutely recommend trying it! I'd go back in a heartbeat.

I was on Tinder, bored with the usual boring men, when suddenly a guy with a neo-melodic voice attracted me. He invited me to get a slice of pizza from Veliero, in the old town of Bari. I replied: if you want to go out with me, you have to take me to MINT in Polignano. He (after asking his mom for his allowance) was excited and booked a table for two. I won't tell you the whole evening, but do you remember the movie When Harry Met Sally?!!! The orgasms from Fabrizio's dishes were real.
Highly recommended for a one-of-a-kind experience. I'll be back, but with Lele. 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
