16/10/2025: The owner's smile, traditional cuisine, and attentive service. Soothing and intimate decor. Thank you. 🥰

15/10/2025: Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! Food - 5 Service - 5 Best local cousine place in Monopoli!

06/11/2025: We came here because it was recommended in the Lonely Planet guide, but when we arrived it was closed – even though Google clearly shows it as open. Please update your opening hours so we don't make a wasted trip, thank you 🙏 Update: The opening hours aren't updated in real time, it's true, but they are updated quickly if you request it, probably within 24 hours. It would be even faster to do this than to reply to comments :)

31/10/2025: Delicious! The products are amazing.

26/11/2025: Fast, friendly service. Open all day..... 😁

24/11/2025: The food was delicious, and the staff were very helpful, spoke perfect English, and were always smiling. We highly recommend it! We've been there twice and have been impressed both times.

09/12/2025: Very good cuisine, friendly staff

07/12/2025: A nice little restaurant, small but welcoming, with a very friendly owner . The food is very good, and it's a great place to be.

20/11/2025: Refined and welcoming restaurant. Smiling, helpful, and professional staff. Excellent food quality, fresh fish.

16/11/2025: We had dinner at this elegant restaurant on Friday, November 14th, and had a great time. The staff was friendly and professional. We ordered a tasting of hot and cold appetizers, which were very good. For the main course, we had grilled fish and tuna with vegetables. We finished with a rocher for dessert, all accompanied by an excellent local Falanghina. Good value. Recommended.

30/11/2025: We bought 2 pizzas. One 4 cheese and a ham and mushroom pizzas. The pizza was quite far from what you expect from an Italian pizza. Low quality ingredients and low quality pizza dough. The chees was totally tasteless like rubber. However the price was lower than the average pizza prices in the touristic area. So I guess it was ok for the price/value balance...

30/11/2025: This family-run restaurant makes you feel at home, the chef is the owner and the dishes are excellent, fresh and traditional cuisine, the bread is also excellent😋

16/11/2025: My family and I went to Ai Portici during the week, and at first we were a little hesitant because the place is a bit hidden and we couldn't see anyone, but what do they say? Never judge a book by its cover, right? And after reading the reviews here on Maps, we decided to give it a try anyway, and despite our hesitation, we were truly amazed. The service was fast, especially since there weren't many people, but that didn't take away from the experience. The pizza is amazing!!! Lovely, piping hot, juicy, and with a perfect Neapolitan crust, just the way I like it! Being a Neapolitan pizza lover, I found exactly what I was looking for here to feel a little bit like I'm in Naples 😭😍😍😍😍 Overall, Ai Portici is a small and somewhat hidden place, but it's absolutely worth it: excellent quality pizza, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is extensive and the prices are moderate, considering we're in Monopoli! We also had dessert, which was delicious and carefully prepared! I recommend it 😍

13/11/2025: Amazing pizza, one of the best Ive tried in Italy; very good prices also.

06/11/2025: We booked at this restaurant listed as a fresh fish restaurant so we had very high expectations but that was not the case. We had cooked seafood appetizers but really small portions with not top quality products at the price of €18 per person, as a first course their flagship risotto, hard and rubbery rice with non-existent ingredients and with a lake of cream that tasted like the risottos prepared by Knorr memories of youth cost €16, as a second course a half slice of swordfish with a tasteless and hard to eat flavor passed off as fresh but I have serious doubts at the cost of €16. Total cost €103 this is not the right way to do catering but making fun of people at least those who know about fresh fish.

03/11/2025: My husband and I went to this restaurant with very high expectations, but that wasn't the case. What we were served seemed to be made with low-quality ingredients. The appetizers were paltry and overpriced for what was served (€18 per person). The risotto was inedible, rubbery rice full of cream and nonexistent, low-quality ingredients. The half-slice of swordfish was tasteless and tough, typical of frozen fish. This restaurant advertises itself as a fresh seafood restaurant, but that wasn't the case. Only the waiter understood the inconvenience and tried to remedy the situation, but it was too late.

08/12/2025: Good morning, yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant with a dear friend of mine for lunch, who took me to Monopoli for the first time. What can I say? As soon as we entered, fate decreed that we were the first to arrive, and thus had that little bit of anxiety about being in full view of everyone. Haha, then, just two seconds later, not only did we smell the delicious food, but we also immediately sensed the special aroma of a kind welcome that made us feel instantly at home. And, above all, seeing the PEACE of mind that permeates the heart of the place and all the people who work there, always with a genuine smile on their faces, filled my heart from the very first moment. Politeness? Simply extraordinary, needless to say. Always attentive to everything, but always with a smile. A friendliness that I would describe as 110%. I savored the delicious dishes, those spectacular baked potatoes, that seafood platter. I'm also sorry I was full, otherwise I would have taken it home if I could have. Haha, eg eg, but anyway, we chatted, and we kept repeating: "What a beautiful place, what lovely people, how delicious this pasta is, look how lovely the waiters are to each other, seeing them smile at their work is not a given, given that some people work almost reluctantly these days, etc." Because having GOOD-hearted people around you really improves your mood. I felt free of mind, for the first time in a while: I even told my friend, it almost felt like a burden had been lifted from me. Maybe it's the wonderful humanity of those who work there, the atmosphere, the EXTRAORDINARY food, the good company, or the wonderful light that envelops the place... but I hope to return countless times. Kindness, politeness, goodness of heart, believing in what you do, respect for yourself and then for those around you, and above all, a HUGE SMILE will always be the best ways to face life. Having a bad day is human and absolutely understandable; probably, even if I had found a waiter/waitress at a less positive time, I would still have felt the same special energy. - Kind regards, Giulia and Andrea 🫶🏼❤️

07/12/2025: I went for lunch today with my family and it was truly a pleasure, both for the palate, which was delighted by the exquisite first and second courses, and for the truly unique location... and what can I say about the super welcoming staff, attentive to every little detail. I highly recommend it.

16/11/2025: Everything was very, very good, we will return.

02/11/2025: Delicious breakfast products that you can eat by the sea

30/10/2025: I can say that I ate the best focaccia of my life! Congratulations!

15/11/2025: Let's start with the assumption that, okay, if you have fish for dinner, the price goes up. Well, first of all, octopus salad, a small bowl. Two fried octopuses that looked boiled, and a fried dish whose batter stuck to the plate...usually crispy, no, this one was soggy. We didn't have time to leave the restaurant before they closed; they were basically waiting for us. They were already home, thinking about it and wearing their pajamas. Overall, my love story was coming to an end because of the soggy fried dish. For two, €150 seems rather excessive. P.S.: the love story is still going strong. Best regards

12/11/2025: A small gem overlooking the sea, where the sea is also present inside, in all its dishes prepared with care, skill, and passion. A breathtaking terrace, attentive and friendly service, and tasty and rigorously fresh dishes make it a must-try for those who want to spend a special moment or enjoy an excellent meal without breaking the bank (€104 for 2 with an excellent bottle of wine recommended, raw and cooked seafood appetizers, 2 first courses, and a mixed fried fish to share, coffee, and liqueurs). People who take pride in what they bring to your table make it a sure thing. Enjoy this experience. Reservations recommended, especially in high season. A must-try.

09/11/2025: A seaside restaurant in Monopoli. Refined atmosphere, exquisite food, the photos speak for themselves, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Recommended

30/10/2025: Mind blowing views, delicious food
