I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliesenella città Monopoli della Bari

04/07/2025: We came here on the recommendation of our B&B, and what a great choice! We traveled with our daughter, and even without a reservation and with a lot of demand, they treated us wonderfully, putting food on the table for the baby so she wouldn't have to wait. Everything was exquisite, including the cavatelli ai frutti di mare (seafood cava), superb! And the sporcamuso... ugh (be careful! It's hot!). We'll be here for a few days and will definitely come back!

02/07/2025: Nice little restaurant, we finally managed to have lunch on Monday by booking well in advance... Very kind and friendly staff, excellent quality of food and everything was delicious from the mixed appetizer to the dessert. If you want to eat fish, go there without hesitation, you won't regret it! Quality has to be paid for but at least it's worth it! We will definitely be back 😍

27/06/2025: We had a truly memorable dinner at Il Guazzetto in Monopoli. From start to finish, everything was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully presented. We began with the octopus carpaccio — thinly sliced, incredibly tender, and full of fresh, clean flavors. It set the perfect tone for what followed. Next, we enjoyed the seafood pasta with zucchini flowers, which was a real highlight. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the seafood generous and fresh, and the zucchini flowers added a subtle sweetness that tied the dish together wonderfully. We also tried the cuzzecchije pasta — a rustic local specialty — which had a satisfying handmade texture and a rich, comforting sauce that felt authentically Pugliese. We paired our meal with a crisp local Sauvignon wine, which brought out the best in the seafood dishes without overpowering them. To finish, the tiramisu was light, creamy, and delicately balanced — a sweet end to a superb meal. The atmosphere was relaxed but refined, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The location, tucked into the heart of Monopoli’s charming old town, made the whole evening feel extra special. Highly recommended for anyone seeking fresh, honest seafood with local character and warm hospitality.
