I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Puglia

04/11/2025: Friendly and attentive staff...excellent pizza and fair prices

01/11/2025: A quaint restaurant-restaurant on the Giovinazzo waterfront. Entering, you feel like you're on a cruise thanks to the quaint decor. The staff is courteous and friendly. The menu is comprehensive and extensive (including vegetarian options). Lunch began with both land and sea appetizers. You can choose between land and sea first courses. We personally ordered four portions of trofiette with shrimp, cuttlefish, and squid ink, two portions of seafood fettuccine with cherry tomatoes, and one portion of calamarata with truffle, mushrooms, pistachios, and cream. The portions were generous and delicious. For our second course, we chose grilled entrecote, sea bream (cleaned on site by the waiter after cooking and served), and finally a mixed fried seafood dish. To conclude, we ordered desserts, coffee, and a liqueur. Very satisfied, we'll definitely be back!

01/10/2025: Very friendly staff and delicious food. It felt a lot more local than some of the more touristy restaurants along the front

26/09/2025: I really liked it. And the waitress was very funny. Very nice, very good time.

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, haha, 🥹🥹 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🫶🏼

03/11/2025: La Pergola Restaurant was a real surprise during our stroll through Santa Maria al Bagno. It's centrally located, right on the village square, overlooking the sea. The highlight is undoubtedly the cuisine, which proved to be excellent. You can taste the freshness and quality of the fish, the true star of the menu. The staff is attentive, professional, and very courteous! Highly recommended! 👏🏻 Biagio and Maria Pia

28/10/2025: A very nice restaurant with more than reasonable prices and a warm welcome. The food is very good, very generous, and they accept dogs. I recommend it 👍🏻

12/10/2025: Recommended for those seeking home-style cuisine and elegance at the same time. Excellent service, very friendly management, great location.

25/09/2025: What you'd expect from a trattoria: low cost, lots of food (in this case, even good food). The warm seafood appetizer was plentiful and truly excellent, the troccoli were firm and tasty, the complimentary limoncello was very welcome, and the glass of wine was probably half a bottle. Excellent.

13/09/2025: ⸻ This evening we ordered takeout pizzas. Aside from the wait of over an hour (which can happen on Saturdays), they all arrived incorrectly, with the Parmesan cheese added that we didn't request and without the drinks we ordered. We avoided calling to avoid any problems, but we definitely won't be ordering takeout pizzas from them again.

08/09/2025: Generally, the food is quite good; the only problem is that sometimes it's good, sometimes not so good. You have to try it and be lucky.

27/10/2025: Perfect value for money! The food is simply magical 😁👍 The service is top-notch. If you're nearby, don't hesitate to stop in 😁👍👍

25/10/2025: I had a really good lunch, the fried food was excellent and the staff were friendly.

24/11/2025: Excellent restaurant; we were in Barletta on an errand and found this restaurant almost by accident; excellent food, friendly staff, excellent value, highly recommended.

19/11/2025: I'll start by saying that last year I had a great experience with everything. This year, either I was unlucky or things have changed. The service wasn't satisfactory because, for four people, I was told to choose only one starter so as not to overwhelm the kitchen. I didn't like the starter the other diner had chosen, so I had to swap it for a main course. (A seafood pasta dish that was supposed to be shared between two people and then charged for two dishes; a shame I didn't notice in time.) Furthermore, the pasta had a hint of ammonia. But I go to restaurants to eat what I want, not what I'm told, otherwise I'd go visit my parents (if only I had... where I come from, they say, "He who has a mother doesn't tremble!"). Fried shrimp and calamari for two... Two shrimp! and almost whole cuttlefish, thick and chopped into large pieces. Let's not even talk about the sorbet, which is industrially made. You know if you've changed chefs in the meantime or if you've become too complacent.

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.

10/11/2025: Enjoyed the platter of mixed fried foods. Delicious shrimps which you obviously have to clean yourself.

06/11/2025: Everything was delicious, a lovely, quiet and relaxing place.

18/11/2025: The home of fish. After the sea, of course. Chef Francesco is a true guarantee.

05/11/2025: Excellent service and hospitality. The dishes offered are superb. As soon as I can return, I'll repeat the experience.

23/09/2025: Cool location on the beach. Friendly service! The owner is a really cool guy! 😎 The price/performance ratio is okay!

23/08/2025: Good, but the service was a bit lacking...also they promised us a 1,200 kg sea bass and instead we shared it with the next table...smart, I'd say.

15/10/2025: Great food and service. Free parking opposite. Would return

28/09/2025: Simple but quality dinner. Clean, tidy, but unassuming atmosphere. Prices are a bit high for the setting.

30/11/2025: Unfortunately, they'd lost our order, something they confirmed firsthand several times. And since I'm pregnant, waiting over an hour between the appetizer and the main course was too much! I was really hungry! They apologized, but I expected them to make amends with a small discount, but nothing... The dishes were good, but not up to the bill. I won't be returning.

29/11/2025: Oh my, what a place! I've been here several times over the years, but since this summer I've been back three or four more times, both with family and friends. I've noticed the dishes have been updated compared to previous years, flavorful and beautifully presented for a "locanda." The Giovannino is worthy of praise, the octopus meatballs "furi di testa," the meat ragu with brasciola was never so good (and I'm from Bari). Friends and family were very satisfied, and the coconut dessert was also excellent. You can sense the love in the preparation. The wait staff was also very kind and helpful, and the wine selection was good. It's a sure thing now. See you next time!
