I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterraneanella città Monopoli della Bari

20/05/2026: Finally, the first good restaurant I found in the region. There are so many restaurants but many are very touristic and food is mediocre. The food here was delicious and tasted fresh and flavorful. Service was warm. A place I would come back to if I lived in the area. It can become a long meal if you order many courses as it’s run by a small team. We had nowhere else to be though and enjoyed the experience. Try to make a reservation to avoid disappointment! Or come early at opening and hope for a last minute table.

18/05/2026: The lady who welcomed us was very kind and welcoming. The octopus with zucchini alla poverella was truly delicious. 🔝 Excellent experience.

05/05/2026: Small place with just an outdoor terrace. You can enjoy various drinks and eat some cold cuts and cheeses with bread. So, it's a nice place to have a drink and a snack while gazing at the tourists walking by.

28/04/2026: A very warm welcome and generous, varied, and delicious charcuterie and cheese platters! Top-notch! 👌🏻

03/05/2026: The food could be ok but the service takes forever….

03/05/2026: Takes an hour to even ask for our order…..

11/06/2026: Great menu. Beautiful food. Lovely restaurant.

04/06/2026: A lovely spot in Monopoli. We ordered orecchiette with seafood and rigatoni with octopus. As a welcome, we received a small appetizer of tomato bruschetta and bread polpette. Nothing extraordinary, but a nice touch. The food seemed authentic and the dishes were good. It's an excellent option for a simple, relaxed local lunch. The service is laid-back and the atmosphere is peaceful. A great place to discover the cuisine of Puglia.

06/05/2026: Perfect food, fresh, carefully prepared. Excellent service, high standard.

04/05/2026: Great place for catch of the day and many seafood options.

07/06/2026: We visited this wonderful restaurant in the hilly area of ​​Monopoli for Mother's Day and returned for a family Sunday. What can I say? Both times, the lunch was sublime: exceptional raw seafood, sublime fish, and the staff was professional, competent, and above all attentive. A special mention goes to Mr. Bartolomeo, the owner, a wonderful person, disarmingly kind. I absolutely highly recommend this corner of paradise. Chimenti Family

15/05/2026: For starters, we had raw seafood, very fresh, a delight: langoustines, shrimp, mussels, and cockles. The seafood risotto had firm yet creamy rice, but we didn't really see any seafood in it—something to keep in mind in the kitchen 😉. We had a tasting of syrups/alcohol, which was interesting. Panna cotta with homemade syrup. And a very good wine recommended by the waiter.

11/01/2026: The food arrived cold. We waited a long time for just a starter. We were tricked into thinking they were serving pizza for lunch.

11/01/2026: We loved the food, highly recommended

29/04/2026: Good food and good service - like their no nonsense approach. Good pizzas.

24/04/2026: Ai Portici is a very nice Italian restaurant. We were welcomed right away by the staff, who were extremely friendly and attentive. They even offered us some small snacks while we were choosing our orders, which was a thoughtful touch and made us feel comfortable from the start. The pizza was delicious — fresh, well-balanced, and perfectly baked. We also ordered a salad, which was equally good, with fresh ingredients and great flavor. One detail that really stood out was that we asked for the salad without onions, and they actually deducted the cost of the onions from the bill without us even requesting it. It’s rare to see that level of fairness and attention to detail. Overall, the service, food quality, and small gestures made this a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily come back again.

10/05/2026: Top-notch restaurant. Super fresh fish, incredibly friendly and helpful staff. It's become a regular occurrence for us. (We eat fish all the time; we're from Puglia.) Everything is truly excellent.

05/05/2026: A charming little place! Super fresh, top-quality fish, a vast selection of wines, and attentive staff.

03/06/2026: Good restaurant with very tasty semi-raw fish; we liked everything we ordered, especially the lobster and the semi-raw frutti di mare. However, the service is too distant and excessively serious. It's also very expensive compared to nearby competitors.

01/06/2026: The atmosphere was truly breathtaking; we were seated at a table very close to the sea and the view was beautiful. The service was good, but perhaps the price doesn't reflect the quality of the food. My linguine was wonderful, but my boyfriend's risotto wasn't quite as good.

26/04/2026: Exceptional... the girls behind the counter are incredibly kind and friendly. The only downside is that their products are so good they're addictive... Be careful... We ordered 6 focaccias to take on the plane the day before, and everything was ready at the appointed time, and they packaged everything very carefully for our flight. Whether you're passing through Monopoli or even if you're not, it's a must-stop!

25/04/2026: Best pasticioto in town 😍😍😍 the lady is very helpful and nice

05/05/2026: A charming little place! Super fresh, top-quality fish, a vast selection of wines, and attentive staff.

04/05/2026: Fantastic raw fish, and pasta dishes too. Perfectly fried. The staff is friendly, and the location does the rest. I'll definitely be back.
