Panini di Mare In Peschici

11/08/2025: Everything is always excellent and perfect. Delicious pizza, excellent beers, friendly and courteous service, fabulous location. I highly recommend it.

02/08/2025: When I visit a place, I need to smell its aromas and flavors. Small local businesses are the best way to learn about the history of a short-chain product. Matteo, the owner of Mare e Monti, researches and offers a carefully selected selection of cheeses, stretching as far as the Daunia mountains, touching the Umbrian forest, or even just a few meters from his restaurant. He sifts through small dairies with one common denominator: white gold; milk that tastes of fresh forage, wild orchids, and wild herbs with their different flavors. The plating is simple, but with hazelnuts and almonds as a side dish. The platter of cured meats? Another journey to a land that breathes salt and tastes of the sea, artisanal Orsara prosciutto, capocollo, duck, lard, and salami, all absolutely amazing, and accompanied like in the best fairy tales, by a narrator who is never pedantic but rather in love with goodness and the right valorization of the territory. I tried the grilled lamb accompanied by a combination that surprised me: the zazziki sauce, simply divine and definitely worth the trip. Excellent value for money, as is their pizza, which they have always made (a family business). If you are looking for a "sweater-on-your-neck" fresh air even in August, climb up from Manfredonia to the mountain hamlet, take a deep breath... feel the rosemary creep into your mind, like the Mediterranean scrub that is predominant. Well done, the beer is another noteworthy selection. Keep up the good work, see you on the next trip.
