Vecchi Marinai In Polignano a mare

Unique place off beaten track. Perfect seafood 🦞 worth to go there and sit at the terrace.

Awesome place. Ate with a couple of friends. Stunning panorama. Excellent service and food.

The hidden location is beautiful with a great view over the sea. The place was packed, busy and lively which was somehow the most interesting part of the experience. Also, it was a very busy day during the May 1st weekend and we were originally told, at 1.50pm, that there were no tables before 3pm, but eventually, they gave us a table at 2pm, so we were pretty happy about that. The portions are small. The staff is great!

The food is good but the people are not sleepy

It’s in great position overlooking the sea and the staff have a good act going on without particularly great service. This could be an amazing place. Everyone comes at once so the kitchen must find that a bit stressful but the wine service could have been a lot faster. Great bread and enjoyed the two tartare we had. We sat outside and the tables do vary. There was a lot of bounce behind us every time someone walked past and a nearby table had a wobble which those guests found annoying. The lobster which came with a very average tagliolini which was apparently homemade. Rustichella or Benedetto Cavalieri are 100% better. Easier on the kitchen as well as hold when precooked and have better flavour. Unfortunately both the lobster halves and pasta were covered w a tomato sugo. Just the good evo they have would have been better on the lobster. Loved the position though - and the man n guy is a character.

Kind and attentive staff, good raw materials but the preparations absolutely not up to par, we took the first courses but the pasta was practically raw and without salt, as was the second course, a baked sea bream with potatoes and olives but it looked like boiled meat, a shame.

We had dinner here on Easter evening... fresh and excellent raw materials, courteous service. We ate an excellent first course with swordfish, the raw one was poor at the same price as other restaurants... a fresh sea bream but wasted during cooking, without salt and it seems boiled due to how much water there was despite it being baked with potatoes (hard and stale) and olives

A fabulous place, a haven of meditation and peace.
