I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pastanella città Mattinata della Foggia

01/03/2026: We had lunch at this restaurant on a Sunday. When we arrived, it took a while to ask where our table was because the place was packed. We chose to sit on the outdoor veranda because the weather permitted. As soon as we were seated, we were served by an elegant and polite waiter, who brought us bread and water, while our order was taken by someone else. We ordered an appetizer and two first courses and decided to wait until later to choose the second course. The appetizer arrived in a timely manner, good but sparse, considering the price. After that, we were no longer considered; we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for two first courses, which cost €16 each. I'm not a complaining customer, but all the tables outside (which arrived after us and were much larger) ate well before us. The waiter, sensing our disappointment, came over after an hour and said we'd have to wait a few more minutes, but another 20 minutes passed. The two entrees were cold and not worth the expense. We ate and left. We were charged the full bill and asked if we wanted a limoncello, but after two and a half hours of waiting, we just wanted to leave. A bad experience.

13/12/2025: A truly positive experience. The freshest fish, cooked to perfection. The homemade desserts are also highly recommended. In winter, the warm atmosphere creates a Christmassy atmosphere. In spring and summer, the terrace with its breathtaking views of the Gargano offers a romantic and evocative setting.

08/02/2026: Always happy to return, despite the years, the Giardino di Monsignore restaurant and beach club remain a guarantee of taste, elegance, and excellent value. A little more attention to customer service from the dining room staff would be welcome.

13/01/2026: LOCATION: The Lido Giardino di Monsignore Pizzeria and Restaurant is located in Contrada Torre del Porto in Mattinata. A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: This restaurant is well-known among tourists and locals alike. When you arrive, you can enjoy an incredible view of the sea. Especially at sunset, when the sun disappears behind the rocks, the sea is tinged with various colors. On the several occasions I've been, I've enjoyed both the fish-based first and second courses, as well as the pizzas. Each dish reflects the tradition of the Gargano. The restaurant has ample parking, a significant detail in an area that's very busy during the summer months. The photographs I took are testimonies that tell a story, more than a thousand words. FUN FACT: DID YOU KNOW THAT...? The Port Tower was one of the ancient coastal towers built in the 16th century to guard against Ottoman pirate raids.
