01/06/2025: Yesterday, May 31, we spent a day in Giovinazzo and had lunch with friends at this restaurant. We booked 4 days in advance and were seated outside even though we would have preferred to be indoors, given the cool breeze. When booking, we were not asked where we preferred to sit, outside or inside, but on site we asked for the kindness of giving us tables inside and this was denied. No problem so far. Let's get to the ordering of the first courses. After reading a rich menu, everyone wanted their own dish (pasta and mussels, linguine with clams, fresh pasta with monkfish sauce etc etc)... As soon as we dared to ask for different dishes for each one, we were stopped by the waiter with the following reason: please don't block all the burners for us, because we only have 5. In my whole life I have never had such a limit of choice for this reason. I wanted a dish with mussels but I had to adapt to the majority by taking a dish with clams and a friend of mine who wanted something else, in the end, faced with such a lack of choice, decided to refuse the first course... rather annoyed. It's a shame to have found ourselves in this situation. After receiving my lovely dish of linguine and clams, I noticed other tables receiving my much desired dish of pasta with mussels... never obtained it! Because, since then the burner for the pasta and mussels was already in operation....? Something like this had never happened to me... Anyway I gave three stars because the food we were allowed was excellent but perhaps the waiter ruined everything. Thanks
