The 36 best places to go out in Polignano a Mare

Beautiful beach, water is absolutely stunning!! However it gets VERY BUSY in summer, and I'm sure the earlier you get there the better to find a spot. Also bring water shoes because it's a rock beach and slippery near the water.

Lama Monachile is one of those places that just takes your breath away the moment you see it. It feels iconic because it truly is—there’s nowhere else quite like it. Spending the day here is something special: swimming in the clear blue water, looking up at the cliffs, and just soaking in the beauty all around. The beach is very rocky, so bring good beach shoes, and if you can, a little float makes the swimming even more fun and relaxing. There are even a few small cliff jumps for the adventurous, but always with safety in mind. It’s not just a beach—it’s an experience you’ll remember.

We spent the day at a beautiful beach framed by rugged cliffs and crystal-clear blue water. The sea was perfect for swimming, with cool grottos and caves to explore beneath the cliffs. We even found a quiet spot on the rocks where we could read, relax, and dive in for a refreshing swim. Later, we wandered back to the beach and enjoyed a cold beer and an Aperol spritz as the sun dipped lower over the water — the perfect end to a perfect day.

Excellent experience checking out this beach today. It is truly stunning and beautiful! As many others have said, make sure to bring your water shoes or sandals as the rocks hurt your feet.

An iconic beach that commands a photo..or two..or three. Very rocky. Not crowded. Even though it was early November I had to have a swim. Water is cool but not cold. Clear. I can see fish around me. And also a surprise. An octopus just metres from the waters edge. Grabbed my phone and managed to capture it briefly. Great experience!

Beautiful rocky beach with crystal-clear water and a relaxing atmosphere. It’s very rocky, so not the most comfortable for long stays, but perfect for a short visit. About 1–2 hours is enough to enjoy it.

Amazing views of a unique to the eye beach. The truth is that it looks way better looking at it than swimming in it, because of the tourist hordes. A must SEE from all possible corners place.

Monumento a Domenico Modugno is a must-see in Polignano a Mare. The statue overlooks the sea and celebrates the iconic singer of “Volare.” It’s a popular photo spot, especially with the beautiful coastal backdrop. The surrounding area has a lively vibe, and it’s a great place to take a short break while walking through the town. Domenico Modugno, born in Polignano a Mare, co-wrote and performed “Nel blu dipinto di blu” (“Volare”), which became one of Italy’s most internationally famous songs—and even won two Grammy Awards in 1958!

I absolutely love the statue — and the artist who created it! As boats glide into the harbour, “Volare” starts playing and suddenly everyone’s singing and dancing together. The whole place comes alive. The pose is what made him famous when he performed the song for the first time in front of a large audience. He sang with immense passion, bringing a new style and energy that no one had ever seen before. The audience went wild — completely captivated by his performance. His story is truly amazing.

Been there done that! It’s a pity that there’s no details about this symbolism statue, so I asked AI for the explanation. Here’s what it says: “The statue is a monument to Domenico Modugno, a famous Italian singer-songwriter who was born in Polignano a Mare. He is best known for his hit song "Nel blu dipinto di blu," often referred to by its chorus, "Volare." The statue, a three-meter-tall bronze sculpture by Argentine artist Hermann Mejer, was unveiled on May 31, 2009. It depicts Modugno with his arms wide open, an iconic gesture that recalls his performance of "Volare" at the 1958 Sanremo Music Festival. The statue is located on the seafront of Polignano a Mare, looking out over the town and the sea. ＂ Btw. I would definitely recommend you to look for the song to play along for a “dolce” Italian vibes 🥰！

Nice statute in a fabulous location. Hard to get a good photo in the morning, much better in the evening light.

For a moment, I felt like I was flying over Polignano a Mare, just like in the song — light, dreamy, full of Italian magic.

I recommend a boat tour Polignano d Mare. Very good experience.

Very beautiful view point! Nice area to chill and have a spritz or coffee.

Amazing view the sunset is like a painting. Dont miss this spot if you are here.

Busy and very touristic

The best viewpoint of the most famous restaurant in Puglia! Get lost on the narrow streets and enjoy the Italian experience. 10 min away or less from center. Safe travel!

Beautiful but not much to see.

Nice little hidden viewpoint. Can get crowded though

An amazing viewpoint.

Amazing view. Worth the visit🩵🩵

This spot is an excellent choice for indulging in desserts and ice cream treats. Although it tends to get quite crowded, the service is impressively quick, ensuring you won’t have to wait long to satisfy your sweet tooth. The prices are reasonable, offering great value for what you get. While the atmosphere may feel somewhat geared toward tourists, it still has a charming appeal that makes it worthwhile. The menu features a variety of options that, while occasionally on the greasy side, are undeniably flavorful and satisfying. I wouldn’t hesitate to return to explore more of their offerings.

we came to polignano a mare to eat, apparently. first stop of our “polignano food tour” was this coffee shop. my friends told me i absolutely had to try their “special coffee.” i asked multiple times what it was, but they just said, “you’ll see.” so i ordered it. we got three, one each, and somehow managed to grab a booth in the middle of the very busy café. clearly this “special coffee” is their thing. i finally tried it and i have to say, i was surprised. if i remember correctly, it’s made with coffee, whipped cream, amaretto, and lemon juice. sounds weird, right? but the combo actually works. creamy, bitter, sweet, and acidic all at once. hard to describe, but definitely worth trying if you’re ever in the area.

Very Italian experience:) coffee speciale was tasty and worth trying. If you want feel that real Italian coffee shop you need to visit.

Very typical old bar but their food is amazing. My husband loved their caffe speciale which is very popular not only tourists but also the locals.

Storical gelateria. We didn’t know about the special coffee, so we just took a normal one plus some gelato. Everything was good, full of people tho fast

A nice spot by the sea for breakfast, with an authentic atmosphere. Friendly service, we tried their famous coffee, and the cornetti were tasty.

The must visit place in Polignano! Best cappuccino, special coffee and pastry in my life!!! The pastry was full of custard! The croissant with Nutella was so fresh, melted in my mouth. Special coffee is espresso shot with nice cream, amaretto and lemon. So much flavor! Very authentic and nostalgic interior. There are pictures of the owner with different stars whose visited the place (Britney Spears etc).

As an architect, I loved the building. I enjoyed the exhibition. The museum has a lot of potential. I would love to have a coffee or a drink on the terrace facing the sea. Maybe it is something that the director has to think about it. With live music will be paradise.

9 october Its closed but don’t trust google only their website. Check first. One guy was quite rude and dismissive. Need to improve their customer relations. Outside doesnt say closed either. People come from far.

I'm a little annoyed. It's 4:12 and still no sign of anyone and the doors are locked. I waited here for them to open and wasted a bit of time doing so just for them to not open when it says they will. Oh well.

Is it serious?????? After a party (wedding or birthday or whatever) to let all trash in the nature!!!!!!! SOS for the planet!!!!!!! It is absolutly ashamed! You are in a modern european country ! Please!!!!

We had our civil wedding ceremony here on a warm September afternoon in 2020. The white gallery room is just the perfect 'blank canvas' for whatever you want your wedding day to be. For us, with the doors opened wide onto surrounding views of the Adriatic, the sea air soothed and calmed us while we said our vows. The museum staff were so kind and helpful and everything ran so smoothly. It was beautiful.

A very interesting museum devoted to a local visual artist Pino Pascali, who was an early conceptual artist born in Polignano a Mare. Except for a few works by Pascali himself, there is a collection of works by contemporary artists who were awarded the prize called after his name -- the Pino Pascali Prize. The winner of the 21 edition of the prize was Fabio Sargentini, an art collector located in Rome. The museum, although small, is very nice, and its exhibitions very professional. A great pleasure to see!

Very nice museum, girls working there been amazing I highly recommend

Food was good, and placement is nice, but when we came at 20:00, we were told that they have some problems in kitchen, so we cannot order food now, we ordered antipasto but after 5 minutes waiter said that it’s not available too, so in the end they just give us chips and don’t even put them in plate, and after one hour the kitchen started to work again, so we ordered food, it was good

We were staying in Monopoli and waiting to check into a Trullo . Decided to visit Polignano a mare for breakfast and found this recommendation online. It was superb! Great view from the cafe, generous and tasty avocado toast and delicious cappuccino. Note you have to pay extra if you want a table with a view on the tiny balcony!

Very relaxing place located in the historic center of Polignano a Mare. Possibility to choose a seat in the garden by the old square or on the terrace overlooking the sea. Prices for drinks are higher, but it is worth paying one or two euros more, because the place has a modern style, an interesting menu and the quality of the drinks is impeccable + no coperto! A nice bonus was the live music as a local troubadour performed in front of the place (there are quite a few of them in the city in different places). I ordered a local variation on the popular aperol called aperol pugliese which appears on the table with the addition of local sweet red wine. An interesting combination which tastes a bit like Spanish sangria. I came across this drink for the first time and I really liked it. It is worth mentioning that it is quite a strong alcohol. It was successfully masked by the sweetness of the winę.

Ideal place for an evening drink. Recommend a Spritz Pugliese, local wine with prosecco, soda and rosemary. Delicious. We had apetizers typical for Puglia, looking nice, but a lot vegetable pastry. All in all average tagliere. But drinks and atmosphere of the place are perfect.

Romantic and beautiful view. Good staff and delicious breakfast.🧇

Had breakfast here . My partner had avocado and egg on toast (12€) . I had a fruit /yogurt and muesli bowl (5€) and coffees. Was a really nice meal and something different compared to typical pastries . Staff were lovely too!

A small but cozy place. The view from the balcony is very beautiful, but the front part on the piazza is also lovely.

What a delightful taste! We ordered 2 octopus sandwiches and fried calamari 🐙 🦑 Both were delicious, and we did not have to wait in line. The waiters did not speak English very well, but they understood our order from the photos I showed. The bread was hot and crispy, and the seafood was also very tasty. If you visit to Polignano a Mare you should eat something in this restaurant.

Found this nice eatery that sells fish and chips. We ordered the salmon burger, fish and chips and the fried squid. The fish is fresh and nicely cooked with a good crisp. We enjoyed the way the fries were cooked. The squids are also very tasty and fragrant. The burger comes with some raw salmon, chopped tomatoes,some greens and sauce, pretty big burger. Nice and cosy place to have your meal, no fuss. Recommended

A visit to Pescaria in Polignano a Mare is a truly unique experience, but one that is absolutely worth it. The food is fantastic, and the prices are surprisingly great for the quality of seafood you get. However, you should be prepared for the process. It's a very busy place, and first, you have to stand in a line to pay for your meal. Only after you've paid do you get to sit down and wait for your order. It's a system, and while it's efficient, it can feel a bit chaotic. And while the food is amazing, some of the staff can be a bit rude, which is a shame, but it might just be a part of the fast-paced, high-volume environment. The food, though, is the real star. The salmon and tuna panini are absolutely delicious—the fish is so fresh and flavorful. The fish and chips are also fantastic, a perfect Apulian take on a classic. For the great price you pay, it’s an incredible value. In the end, it's a worthwhile trade-off. You might have to deal with a strange ordering process and some less-than-friendly staff, but the food is excellent and the prices are more than fair. It's a place you go to for the delicious seafood, and that's exactly what you get.

Fantastic place for fish & oysters lovers who want to have crackers or panini gluten-free too. The place is spacious inside and outside and provides all sorts of fresh fish for a reasonable deal. Except Prosecco and wine is not served per glas, per bottle only. For me as single traveler a bit challenging and I would love to have some sparkling wine to the lemon squeeze of the oysters. Service is also highly kind and attentive. I definitely recommend this place!

This delicious and convenient fresh fish shop was recommended to me by a colleague and I am so lucky I was able to go! We enjoyed a raw octopus salad and a box of soft battered and fried white fish and polenta. Everything was absolutely delicious. It’s a busy location, so I recommend arriving before or after peak lunch hour. However we were able to share our table with a group of travelers and had a great conversation about the beautiful city and food. We shared food, stories, and vibes. Great place all around!

Pescaria The octopus sandwich is definitely the highlight—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Other seafood dishes are decent but don’t quite stand out in the same way. The overall atmosphere is casual and lively, making it a nice spot to enjoy a relaxed meal. No reservation is required, but be prepared for a bit of a wait—usually around 20 minutes just to place your order. Once you order, you’re given a number and it typically takes another 30 minutes for your food to be ready. When it’s time, a staff member calls out your number in Italian, which adds a bit of local charm and is a fun opportunity to test your listening skills if you’re learning the language. A good place for a laid-back seafood experience if you’re not in a rush.

We visited Pescaria for the first time today and it did not disappoint! I will be dreaming about this polpo fritto panino and crunchy chips for a long time 🤤. We went before dinner and did not have to wait at all. Karim was very kind and made sure we were enjoying our visit!

Beautiful view, delicious food. But very long waiting time. We received the order two hours after arrival, and the bottle of wine 45 minutes after ordering it

Amazing experience! The food was wonderful. To start we had the oysters which were so fresh. The seafood soup was filled with seafood it was almost like a main size. Pasta was perfect. The service and views are wonderful. Well done and thanks.

My basic expectations for restaurant that charges 50 plus Euros a person is 1) a maitre 'd that's polite and accepts that he got the order wrong rather than trying to blame you or the kitchen. 2) They actually pour the expensive bottle of wine that you ordered and 3) that the equipment in the bathroom works. Sorry the food was also so so but then you kind of know that going in that they're just charging you for the views and not the food.

Come to this restaurant for the atmosphere and view, not for the food or service. It is very expensive for what you get.

Lovely location and staff! We really enjoyed the appetizers (prawns and oysters) and I loved my pasta (cheese and pepper). Interestingly they had oysters from Portugal, Ireland and France! I got two of each to try the difference - they were all nice but I do love French oysters most! My husband's pasta was a little bland (a tomato one with capers).

Great food and awesome view! Price of wine is incredibly good for the selection of local ones. One thing I’d recommend is to improve the service, some of the staff are not very happy at work, which made the experience a bit less pleasant. But the food and the view compensated that.

Great location, stunning views, great variety of food and excellent quality. Pleasant and attentive service. Staff very professional, friendly and helpful😊 Recommended to anyone in the Polignano area.

This restaurant was near our B&B so it was very convenient. It didn't close down midday, and they served ice in their beverages! The food was delicious every time. I had the Queen Pise three times because it was so good. Service was excellent.

Chill vibe, laid back atmosphere, choice of creative (and delicious) drinks, friendly service :) Upon request they can make your favourite drink off-menu. Guys that work there make you feel welcome, it was a pleasure to be there. Went there three times during my stay and had a great time each night.

Perfect for an evening drink and something small for meal. Nice atmosphere on the coast. Recommend to everyone.

Delicious food and great staff. Our server made us feel very welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. The terrace had a lot of seats in the shadow which we appreciated.

The best cocktail bar in Polignano! Antonio is a true professional, he knows how to craft exceptional cocktails and always finds a way to surprise you. The quality, creativity, and attention to detail are unmatched. If you truly care about what you drink, this place is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

Tons of better food places than this. Mediocre food at best. “Distilled water” they charge you for is just tap water they fill in a glass bottle. Our water had a food crumb in it coming out of the kitchen. Honestly do your self a favor and go anywhere else

the place itself is nice, but the service is incredibly slow.

Fresh raw fish, oyster, seafood. Lots of locals come here. It’s hard to find seat. The services is nice. I think it’s cheap.

One of the best meals we had! The place may look simple, plastic chairs and tables, but the seafood was so fresh and the owner was so friendly! All the different types of seafood are displayed at the counter with price on it, pick and choose the ones you like and the owner will make it a seafood platter on ice for you.

Very good raw seafood! We had the tuna, oysters and shrimps and paired it with rosee and white wine. We come again😋

Super fresh fish, highly recommended. Check the opening time, they close early after lunch. Only note is that they only have cold raw fish.

Very good fresh fish! Keep in mind that there are only tavles outside uf you wish to eat there. Anyway, it is worth it! Thanks so much! Miglior pesce crudo, con prezzi molto buoni.

The fish was so fresh, you selected what you wanted and the food would be served in a small boat. Everything was really tasty and the price range was very reasonable.

Excellent little spot to get fresh and raw seafood. They have a solid selection of ready to eat packages which you can take to go or eat there. There are a handful of outdoor seats. We had the mussels and marinated anchovies, both were delicious and very affordable. No fuss or frills, just fresh seafood!

Beautiful views of the sea. But the amount of trash that covers these gorgeous cliffs is devastating.

I was not expecting much when I put this town on my itinary but when I arrived in this small beach spot I loved it. The walk to the beach was easy and quick. The town itself was the highlight for me, another ambling cobbled maze of wonder. Very pleased I went. We visited off season so weren't looking to swim or sit on the beach . Lots of lovely cafes and a Michelin star restaurant with its own access to the beach if you book in advance.

A typical Italian town. There are many tourists, because it is 20-30 km from Bari. The panorama is charming. I suggest you to try gelato (ice cream).

Beautiful, great restaurants, breathtaking at night.

Definitely place to see... we have spent there more time than we planned, but we could nt leave earlier, its too beautiful...

Nice small town on the shore. There is a big parking place next to the sea for free ( now in November ). Nice walk along the shore with many views to the caves, then go to the old town centre. We really recommend this small town.

Nice coast line with a lot of caves. Get on a small speedy boat, this is the best way to see it

A beautiful place to sit and watch the world go by with an apperativos in hand 🫶

Compared to many of the other piazzas, this one is quite plain and not very significant.

(Translated by Google) The square is also known as Piazza dell’Orologio. The space is impressive, you can feel the history. One of its defining buildings is the Chiesa Madre di Santa Maria Assunta church, which was built on the ruins of a pagan Roman church. Another defining building is the Clock Tower, which once had a sundial, which was replaced by a mechanical one. The clock can be seen on the pediment, above it is the statue of Saint Vito and at the top is the bell. (Original) A teret Piazza dell’Orologio néven is ismerik. Lenyűgöző a tér, tapintani lehet a történelmet. Az egyik meghatározó épülete a Chiesa Madre di Santa Maria Assunta templom, ami egy pogány római templom romjaira épült. Másik meghatározó épülete az Órapalota, melyen egykor napóra volt, amit felváltott egy mechanikus. Az oromfalon látható az óra, felette Szent Vitó szobra és legfelül a harang.

Gorgeous city and its part. I recommend to look at everything closely and enjoy.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful square at the entrance to the old city! (Original) Υπέροχη πλατεια στην είσοδο της παλιάς πόλης!

Lovely Square.

(Translated by Google) Through the arch of the door you enter the main square of the village from which several streets branch off, it doesn't matter which one you take because sooner or later you return to the square. Look for the panoramic points on the rocks and see the well-restored stone houses, the stairs, the flowered corners, the little shops, a very pleasant walk, interrupted by hot Apulian appetizers sitting in one of the many bars and restaurants in the village (Original) Attraverso l’arco della porta entri nella piazza principale del paese dalla quale si diramano diverse stradine, non importa quale prendi perché prima o poi ritorni alla piazza. Da cercare i punti panoramici sugli scogli e vedere le case in pietra ben restaurate, le scale, gli angoli fioriti, i negozietti, una piacevolissima passeggiata, interrotta da stuzzichini caldi pugliesi seduti in uno dei tanti bar e ristoranti del paese

“A bit too fancy for my taste—the staff was a bit stiff, and the food was just okay, not great. We had raw tuna, and my pasta had a sour taste that I didn’t enjoy much. That said, the restaurant itself is visually impressive, with a beautiful setup. We had to book in advance, and I would recommend it for the experience at least once. We paid €88 for our dishes.

A great option if you’re looking to treat yourself to seafood or fish. The service was very good, and the way they cook the fish in the oven with olives was spot on. However, it felt expensive for the portion size and quality. For this price, I’ve had much better seafood and fish at similar places.

The service was excellent, our waiter Giuseppe was very kind and attentive. The seafood was delicious and fresh, and the appetizers were tasty but on the smaller side. Pasta was good as well, though portions overall felt a bit small. Still, a lovely dining experience with great service and quality food.

The food was tasty, nothing special though served nicely and yes, the price was not in accordance with the portion. A touristic restaurant. The staff were attentive and friendly. Worth a try!

Food was good but not mind blowing given the price. Has the pasta with lobster, the fish, the fava bean puree, and the carpaccio of local fish. All good but again nothing wow. The dessert was the same- we had the custard type dish that reminded me a bit of crème brûlée but not as good and a lackluster cannoli. The meal was quite expensive and this was how we celebrated our elopement so it was a bit of a bummer compared to some of the other meals we had.

The service is very nice and attentive. The food is nice too. But maybe should have ordered the whole fish. They look very tasty. The dessert sporcamuss is very tasty. Highly recommend.

A lovely local restaurant that goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome! My best friend is vegetarian and they had many off the menu options for him. Dishes were simple but very good, portions were big and staff was extra friendly! Overall a very pleasant night and totally recommended!

Perfect 54 birthday dinner. Not planned but exelcellent choice. Zuppa di peche and lobster tartar fantastic! Service very good.

Excellent food and very good service. I recommend to take a tartare of the fresh fish of the day.

Everything was really perfect. But most of all, the service. They really go above and beyond for their customer it was so heartwarming. I went there for my girlfriend birthday and everything they did for her was truly marvelous... Roses, everything, it was such a memorable moment ! They even brought us a chocolate cake that was not on the menu, it was so good, one of the best I've eaten. Also food was incredible so tasty, so well balanced. Everything was perfect, a thousand thanks again!!

Osteria di Chichibio is the best restaurant in Polignano. I went in different restaurants including Grotta Palaze who is famous in this city but I end up coming twice in this place. The food is just another level. Come to eat first and thank me later! It’s a must guys 🥂

This restaurant used to be spectacular. It has changed. Food is nothing special or remarkable, as you can find better at other locals places. Good service. Cute setting. Frutti di mare with fava puree was a highlight. We would not go again. If I were Italian, I would be ashamed to serve the unripe tomatoes in the salad.

Let's address the minor issue first. My parents' salad starter was definitely simple—it did the job, but it was far from Michelin-star worthy. A simple but elevated offering, like a burrata with pistachios and olives, would have been a much nicer choice and better aligned with the quality of the mains. The Special Mains The main courses, however, were truly special and highly memorable: • Sea Urchin Pasta: I had the sea urchin pasta, which was a unique choice since I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a very special dish, and I'd absolutely take it again for the incredible creaminess of the sauce. • The Standout Dish: Pink Risotto: The true star of the meal was the pink risotto served with caviar and scallops. This dish was just as creamy and special as my pasta, offering an impressive blend of flavors and textures. Conclusion The price was fair for the quality of the main dishes, but the simple salad starter was a letdown. If you visit, I highly recommend focusing on the seafood dishes—they are where this restaurant truly shines and provides a spectacular experience.

If you’re looking for a fine dining experience, Chichibo is the perfect choice. From the impeccable service to the delicious, well-crafted dishes, everything about this place is top-notch. You really can’t go wrong here. I started with the seafood parmigiana, a unique and delightful dish that was a first for me. It was flavorful and beautifully prepared—a fantastic way to begin the meal. For my main course, I had the tagliolini with prawns, porcini mushrooms, and zucchini. It was absolutely fabulous, with perfectly balanced flavors and a wonderful texture. This is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression. Be sure to make a reservation!

Absolutely loved their gelato! We chose dark raw chocolate, pistachio, and Capri in a cup — each flavor was incredibly creamy and packed with flavor. The dark chocolate was rich and intense, the pistachio was smooth and nutty, and Capri was a refreshing surprise. We also tried the affogato a modo mio with S. Marzano liqueur — such a generous portion and absolutely delicious. A unique twist on the classic affogato that really worked. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! We also tried Martinucci Laboratory, but I think Caruso is way better!

I am always coming back here when I am in surroundings, at least for this ice-cream. It is even small word to say fabulous! One of the best ice-creams of my life and I had them a loooooot. Note that there are also sugar and lactose free options (nocciola and pistachio). I am always for lemon and basil and Gorgonzola and blueberries are must try.

Caruso Note d’Eccellenza offers an excellent gelato experience with a wide variety of delicious and satisfying flavors. The atmosphere is charming, and the central location makes it easily accessible. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, adding to the overall experience. Definitely one of the best dessert spots in town.

Definitely one of the best gelatos we’ve had in Italy. The friendly staff offered us a taste test and we both got the Capri, a lemon and milk flavour! The quality of the ice cream is top notch and so is the service. The best!

the second stop on our “polignano food tour”was this gelato shop and apparently i had to try their ice cream. my friends raved about the gorgonzola gelato. one friend even came running to the shop, yes she was that exited. i was just as excited because i love cheese and gorgonzola is one of my favorites. unfortunately we didn’t see it on display and it turns out they had stopped making it. a shame because i was really curious. we tried other flavors instead. i got ricotta with chocolate bits (like a cannoli filling) and almond. both were very good and the quality was excellent. the disappointment lingered a little but the delicious gelato quickly made up for it.

Best icecream ! Very tasty and not so sweet. Pistacchio al bronte without milk & sugar is so strong in flavours, wow! Can 100% recommend.

this gelato is something else than all the others, a different level! very creamy and tasty and only 2.5€/cup. try it out, you won't be disappointed! the staff was very welcoming and they brought us glasses of water after finishing the ice-cream. some people really know how to sell! Congrats!

I am an hotelier and restaurateur ( sono italiano): while I would give 5 stars for food, service and location I need to give 1 star to the choice to have limited menu and the minimum of 90€ for 1,2 or 3 plates; the menu doesn’t have anymore fresh and LOCAL catch which was presented at the entrance of the restaurant! The result: EMPTY on Saturday night! If any businessmen reads the numbers and the drop during the years could easily explain why! Please do something, you have an amazing spot and it could be full 360 days a year and maybe have also a star Michelin!

Great location right over Lama Monachile. Service was decent, the food was great, but overpriced.

Very good seafood restaurant. One the best on the seaside, yet expensive. Spectacular view of the beach downhill. Maybe service could improve to reach the level of the food.

The only positive thing about this restaurant is its location and the view, food was overpriced and really bad. Pasta was so burned it was barely edible. For the seafood mix we got one shrimp, one unedible, gummy octopus and small fish for 40€. Really not recommend.

Donna Gina's was terrible and ruined the last few days of our Italy trip. The three people who ate seafood got food poisoning and were violently ill with vomiting and the other stuff. When I told the restaurant their response was "you can't prove this was because of our food" - even after I explained that this is the only meal that the three of us ate the same food (it was a forced tasting menu and three of us got the seafood meal and three others got the vegetarian meal - these three didn't get sick) Even before we got sick, we were upset that the food was not good and service was even worse. Ironically, the manager came over to the table and said that the muscles give him gas after eating them after already ordering and having them presented at the table!!? Additionally, we informed the staff that we needed to leave at 11pm and we had not been given our main course or dessert after two hours of sitting at the table. The restaurant was not busy and half of our table sat without food for 45min., while the other half of the table was served multiple dishes. It was very strange. So basically we paid $900 euros for half of our meal. They even ordered us to wait at the front while they went back to our table to check if we signed the receipt, as if we were trying to avoid finalizing the bill. Save yourself from a terrible experience and never ever come to Donna Gina. They poison people and don't take responsibility

The view is definitely breathtaking, but the service and quality of food was way too low for Italy. The waiters treat you as if you owe them something and I don’t mind paying a lot for excellent seafood, but it was much worse than a cheap Fish bar in Cyprus. Having traveled in Italy a lot this is the first place I didn’t like and I hope the last :-)!

Expensive, average kitchen, plus they include coperty (additional charge for something secret) in your bill. And the waiter refused to serve tables on the veranda due to the fear of the hypothetical rain in sunny day — strange, considering that a beautiful view seems to be the only plus of this place

Pizza was great! Staffers were as attentive as can be expected this busy night. Everyone in our company were satisfied. Tip! Book table if eating at peak hours.

Very good food. We got a salad an a pizza. They have craft beer and the menu is very vast. Also the cheesecake was something great

Customer service was more than excellent! Who I assume is the head-waiter did his job incredibly. He was super helpful and in general very kind and his presence uplifted the atmosphere. The food itself was incredible as well. The pizza was the best I've had in Poligno A Mare and the desserts were amazing too. Not too sweet but just right. In general, in every food everything came together perfectly with the flavors, nothing overpowering anything. Overall, we had the best experience.

Food was not bad the pizza i had was very wet and you can not edit pizzas

Amazing pizza with super fresh ingredients and a great location! There’s an impressive variety of pizzas to choose from, all at unbeatable prices. The service is quick with kind and helpful waiters. And the desserts? Absolutely delicious!

Probably the first and last time eating there. When i sat down the waiter asked me to change the table, and i was okay with that (although the other table was not reserved or anything like that). What happened was that the waiter frowned when I picked a pizza margherita without anything else. Im being brutally honest here when i say: it was the worst margherita i've ever bought in Italy, although it was not bad. The last thing they did was asking me to pay extra for the service. Which I didn't know about, and which was new to me since other restaurants that served margherita in bari didn't charge for ( although it's the case in cafes). The only thing that ruined the trip was this place. Don't recommend it, since there are other places there that serve the same thing without frowning at you and giving you seasonless pizza.

The pizzas are off the chart! The crust is so thin and crunchy. It’s perfect! We started with the zucchini flan and ham appies. We love the zucchini flan! It is so tasty and a small dish which is good for a first course. We did not like the ham. It was hard to chew and very salty. We though we were getting the thinly shaved stuff. I would not recommend it. Definitely get the pizza. We have the ham much from and artichoke one and it was delicious. I think any pizza u get here would be delicious! Of course we had for dessert the tiramisu!! It was amazing! Service was also excellent.

In September, my husband and I dined at this charming restaurant set amidst an orange grove. We tried the scampi risotto with orange, the catch of the day, and lemon sorbet. While the setting is lovely, the food and service were okay. A decent choice if you’re local, but not worth a special trip.

Villa degli Aranci is a beautiful place, no doubt about it. However, our experience was quite disappointing due to the poor service. We were seated in an isolated corner of the dining room, right next to a baby stroller and a storage area where they keep seat cushions and children’s toys. It felt like we were placed in a forgotten corner. Halfway through our meal, a waiter placed a service table just inches away from ours to transport dishes — it felt intrusive and careless. After finishing our main course, we waited for 15 minutes with no staff in sight. Eventually, I had to get up and ask the manager to send someone over so we could order dessert. The food was good, and the setting is lovely, but the service was truly lacking. Sadly, we left with a negative impression despite the pote

The best place to eat in Poligano, cheaper than most places in the city and very quiet and nice ambience with the orange trees. The waiter was recommending a great wine that was going perfectly with both our dishes.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Villa Degli Aranci, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The prices were incredibly reasonable, making it easy to indulge in a variety of delicious offerings. What I loved most was the emphasis on sharable dishes, which encouraged us to try an assortment of flavors. Ranging from exquisite antipasti to delightful small plates, there was something for everyone to enjoy. We found ourselves sampling different bites, making it a fun and interactive dining experience. However, the standout of the evening was undoubtedly their pizza. Each slice was a perfect blend of crispy crust, fresh toppings, and mouthwatering flavors. It truly stole the show! The outdoor area added to the ambiance, offering a lovely atmosphere to enjoy our meal al fresco. The service was impeccable throughout the night; the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. All in all, Villa Degli Aranci is a hidden gem that I can’t recommend highly enough!

The restaurant is located 3 minutes from the tourist area, it is elegant and with prompt service. We ate pizza, cuttlefish & octopus and spaghetti. 4 people, 98 euros with a beer and 2 bottles of water. Cover 3 euros per person.

A true hidden gem- best meal I’ve had in Puglia. The service by Antonella was absolutely top-tier. Will visit this town again just for this experience

Our wine and the starters were served very promptly. The octopus salad and the beetroot marinated salmon were both excellent. The main course of scampi and prawn risotto was not so great. My wife had almost no prawns in her portion and I had no scampi. When the waitress asked if everything had been good we said we gave the honest feedback.We got no apology but a few minutes later they brought my wife another portion. This one crammed full of prawns and scampi but she didn’t want to eat any more by then. We were then made to wait so long for the bill that I gave up and went to the desk to pay. It was a shame that the meal ended like that.

This place could be awesome, but it's super sunny. If you just want drinks, they'll stick you in the sun with no umbrellas. It's overpriced for what you get. Drinks are €15, and I didn't eat because it was too hot.

This meal was the best I had in the whole of Bari The place and vibes were great Staff friendly Hughly recommended

Beautiful place, outstanding view and David - the bartender prepared the best drinks. Such a great vibe. I will definitely return!

Location great but the service is quite poor. The staff seem the give the vibe that you should be lucky to be there. There also wasn't any music as the speaker was broken.

Well, this restaurant is a joke. Despite the welcoming of the bartender (who was kind to us) we paid non less than 60€ for « hamburgers » … without the bun! Just a piece of ridiculous steak with a poor green salad on the side. Take a look ah the veiw but run far away from this « restaurant »

Worst place to have a drink in town.. overpriced and spend your well earned money somewhere else. We came despite the bad reviews because it was hot and we were tired…

Nice restaurant with probably the best view on Polignano from its terrace. Enjoy your lunch with a view of the bay of Lama Monachile.

Best mojito I have ever had!! This is such a great place to grab a mojito for 7-8 euros. They have a great selection of mojitos (16 to choose from!) I had the passion mojito whilst my husband had the classic mojito and we both absolutely loved it! But I would definitely recommend the passion mojito. The barmen were super friendly and it was great watching them make the mojitos from scratch. I had no idea it takes so much effort and elbow grease! They play really great music creating a fun vibe. There a few seats outside including 6 wooden high chairs with a table. There are also some seats inside but people mostly sat outside as inside could get very busy. The alley is a bit of a tight squeeze, with people frequently coming and going but it wasn’t a bother. We will definitely be back.

Best piña colada mojito I ever had! Great vibe sitting on the nearby steps, it’s the best bar experience we had In Puglia!!! They have a great verity of mojitos, with unique ingredients, just pick up one in ~8 EUR/ drink. 🍹 highly recommended!

I was hoping you try real mojitos but what we got was more like “granizados” bunch of ice all the way to the top with very little alcohol. Not much places to sit and outside was pretty congested by people passing through at all times.

If you're in Polignano a Mare, you should definitely come here for a great vibe. The bartenders know their business 100+ points. I tried three variations of mojitos and all were excellent. In addition to mojitos you can always snag a delicious rum, gin, or maybe something else, there is definitely alcohol for every taste. The freshest mint grows right on the bar, and there are enough mojito options for the most sophisticated tastes. Be nice to the bartenders and they will make a little miracle for you. Highly recommended!

Very cool bar in Poligano a Mare. Barman is friendly and on his game. Good section of drinks and pricing is reasonal for the Old Town. Situated on a narrow passageway. Seating available inside and outside. Very nice atmosphere both inside and outside. Proseco costs €5 a glass an it is a good portion.Well worth the visit. Highly recommended.

Amazing drinks. Barman was a vibe! Energetic and enthusiastic! Great place for a drink to have while exploring.

One of the best mojitos we had in all of Puglia! Great value for money, made with super fresh ingredients. Even though it was really busy, they still made the mojitos with care — and it was totally worth the wait. The non-alcoholic version was just as amazing. Highly recommended!

This was the best gelato I’ve ever had. Vito the owner was very hospitable and had us try some flavours. He is the third generation of this place. The nocciola was my favourite.

Don’t be fooled by the name or the storefront! This may be THE best gelato 🍨 I have ever had and I have lived in Italy 🇮🇹 for 8 years! The owner also has a great personality 😎

I read a bunch of positive reviews about this gelato and owner, so I had to try it. The gelato was good, but the owner was a miserable guy who definitely ripped me off for being a tourist. I should have asked for the price before ordering, like I usually do, but I did not and he charged me 4 euros for a tiny cup of gelato. It was ridiculous. Every other fancy gelato shop charges around 3 euros, but somehow this hole in the wall charges 4. Avoid!

Don’t go there! Worst gelato experience in Polignano a Mare. The taste was very average, the cone was small, and it cost €4 more expensive than other gelaterias nearby. You can easily find better and cheaper gelato elsewhere.

This old and historic bar is unlike any other. It's vintage, outside the contemporary canons of always appearing modern and shiny. It's real, no need to show. But when you're in there, it feels like stepping back in time. Very few flavors of ice cream. All incredibly genuine and free of magical ingredients. No supermodel girls greeting you. But only the owner, with whom you can continue to learn that culture that has now fallen into the sand of time.

Rude service, overpriced and not good gelato at all. €4 for a small gelato. Much better options in the area.

Historic and a bit shabby, but in my opinion the best ice cream you can taste.

Although the view is great, the food was poor. We waited over an hour for our food. Once it came the food was cold and not very tasty. The drinks were nice, the two servers we had for the evening were lovely and when we told them about the food the server organised a 15% discount. The people on the door were rude, was on the phone when taking payment and didn't engage with us at all.

We went for dinner on our last day in Polignano. The beef tartar did not taste so good. Gazpacho and ravioli were super and the view is stunning. However, wouldn’t go back for food - better for drinks 🍹

We only used the rooftop terrace and were pleasantly surprised at how good the pinsa and drinks were for what looked like a tourist trap. Sure, it was late October but the weather was nice and we thought the place should have been full but we were the only ones there. Of course the view is quite nice too.

Aquamarea delivers an experience that effortlessly blends refined elegance with authentic local charm. Perfectly situated in the heart of Polignano, the property offers a seamless gateway to the town’s acclaimed restaurants, artisan boutiques, and sweeping coastal panoramas. The accommodations are a masterclass in understated luxury—thoughtfully designed, impeccably maintained, and imbued with a sense of tranquility that invites true relaxation. Cristiana, with her flawless professionalism, gracious attentiveness, and genuine warmth, elevated our stay to a level of hospitality rarely encountered. Aquamarea is not merely a place to stay; it is a destination in itself, worthy of the most discerning traveler.

concerning the rooftop bar/ restaurant the view is simply amazing and probably one of the best if not the best in polignano however there were two major issues the music was exceptionally loud, even though i know it’s the concept of the place, blasting electro music this loud was counter productive . especially with the second DJ. we couldn’t help but feel sorry for the old lady in her balcony literally 2 mt away from the rooftop, and it was just too loud to enjoy the sunset. if you’re looking for a chill romantic place, it won’t be the best idea. second, we ordered a plate of raviolli for 15 euros and were shocked to find only three poor pieces of ravioli in the plate. we thought it was at first a very bad joke, but it wasn’t. it was very underwhelming. so if you go there i would recommend to only order drinks to enjoy the sunset and then eat somewhere else for dinner. the first Cool looking old DJ guy and the amazing view saved the night for us

An Incredible Stay at Aquamarea Our stay at Aquamarea in Polignano a Mare was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, Christiana at the reception made us feel incredibly welcome. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our stay was perfect. offering great recommendations, helping with reservations, and always with a big smile. Her professionalism and kindness truly stood out. The location is unbeatable, and our room was spotless. immaculately clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Every detail reflected care and attention. Patricia at breakfast made our mornings even better with her warm hospitality and the best coffee in Polignano!☕️ The rooftop bar is spectacular, with breathtaking views of Lama Monachile and outstanding cocktails prepared by the amazing team.🍸🍹🍸 Everyone treated us so well that we felt completely at home. Thank you to Christiana and the entire Aquamarea team for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended! Dimitris. 💕 Chrisa

Stunning views from this high cliff top location overlooking the beach. A great friendly atmosphere, perfect for an espresso or a bottle of wine. A sun trap so come prepared.

Yesterday my Cousin in i had an absolutely amazing experience at Il Quadrifoglio in Polignano a Mare! The bruschetta was out of this world – honestly the best I’ve ever had. The pasta dishes were equally delicious. On top of that, the staff was very friendly, cheerful, and charming, which made the evening even more enjoyable. We will definitely come back! Thanks a lot!

Best pizza in Polignano a Mare! The pizza was absolutely delicious and so well priced! 6 euros for an absolutely delicious Margherita pizza. My husband had the My Puglia pizza, based on the waiter’s recommendation and he absolutely loved it! I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with any of the pizzas. The service was fantastic and it had a great atmosphere, situated on Via Roma. We will definitely be back!

One of the best restaurants that I’ve ate in Italy (and I’ve been in Italy 12 times…). From the food to the staff everything was amazing! Don’t forget to order the meatballs in pistachio sauce and the tiramisu. You won’t regret it

Tried the most reccomended puglia pizza which was good, napoli style, side crust a bit too thick and undercooked. Toppings nice, lamb meatballs in pistachio saucewas nice Tiramisu was very very bad Thick tastless mascaporne cheese and biscuits soaked in just cofeee No sweetness no taste at all Avoid the tiramisu Worst tiramisu in our trip so far across italy

I am honestly thinking about their Spaghetti Assasina every day since we've left Poligano. It was by far the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. And yes it is authentic to the Puglia region and vegan by default. The tomato sauce is reduced on the pan so much it becomes extremely intense with crispy caramelised bits of the pasta being the absolute best. What a symphony of flavour! Bruschetta pugliese is also delicious with local variety of rocket on top that taste nothing like I've ever tried before but was incredibly good. I've also tried the orchiette cime di rapa which is vegan if you ask to remove anchovies but we always came back to Assasina and ended up eating here every day. Word of warning - this place is extremely busy so 1. You will most likely have to queue for the table for a considerable amount of time 2. It is extremely busy so there will also be a wait for the food to arrive at your table. Worth waiting at all counts. I'm already thinking about my trip back and having their pastas again!

Il Quadrifoglio delivers true Italian quality — their pizzas are absolutely authentic, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors that take you straight to Italy. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, though — the queue can take up to half an hour, but it’s absolutely worth it. I had the Viola 10th Year Anniversary beer, and it was exceptional — rich, smooth, and beautifully presented. It’s not as widely available as Peroni, which makes it feel more exclusive. While Peroni is light and accessible, Viola stands out with a deeper, more refined profile. Its caramelized notes give it a warm, slightly sweet finish that lingers on the palate much longer. It’s a more premium, local choice — if you come across it, don’t miss the chance to try it.

Best meal i had in Italy so far! The Assesina pasta to die for! The La Puglia pizza was amazing and the tiramisu? The best i ever had! Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful

Polignano's heart of the city

(Translated by Google) This building is full of history as you can tell from its appearance. The architecture of this ancient city is nostalgic, and the alleys are small... Unconsciously, people slow down and appreciate the nostalgic plot here. (Original) 這個建築感覺過外表就知道是充滿了歷史的。這座古城的建築懷舊，巷弄小巧⋯⋯不自覺的讓了人們慢下腳步，欣賞的這裡的懷舊情節。

Such a beautiful place 😍 Very romantic. I recommend you going with your sweet heart ❤️

(Translated by Google) The most characteristic building in Vittorio Emanuela II Square. This building was once home to the university, but now its most distinguishing feature is a 19th-century rope clock. (Original) Najbardziej charakterystyczny budynek na placu Vittorio Emanuela II. Ten budynek był niegdyś siedzibą uniwersytetu, lecz teraz jego najbardziej wyróżniającą cechą jest zegar linowy z XIX wieku.

(Translated by Google) The Torre dell’Orologio is an elegant 18th-century building with a simple façade of light-colored stone, typical of Puglia. It is distinguished by a monumental clock positioned in the center of the façade, just above a row of windows with green shutters. Higher up, a niche houses a statue of San Vito, the city's patron saint, and the tower is topped by a bell tower, currently surrounded by scaffolding for restoration. Below the clock face, a Latin inscription evokes the civic and religious function of the site. (Original) La Torre dell’Orologio est un élégant bâtiment du XVIIIᵉ siècle, à la façade sobre en pierre claire typique des Pouilles. Elle se distingue par une horloge monumentale placée au centre de la façade, juste au-dessus d’un ensemble de fenêtres à volets verts. Plus haut, une niche abrite une statue de San Vito, saint patron de la ville, et la tour se termine par un campanile à cloche, actuellement entouré d’un échafaudage pour restauration. Sous le cadran, une inscription latine évoque la fonction civique et religieuse du lieu.

(Translated by Google) Heart of the historic center of Polignano a Mare, where the main entrance of the Mother Church is located (closed to the public alas). If I'm not mistaken, the clock is functional thanks to the owners of the house where the gears of the clock itself are located, which is operated manually. Every small street that winds from this little square leads to the balconies overlooking the sea that characterize the town. For some years it has become a very popular place for tourists at any time or season. There are also some nice shops selling souvenirs or typical products. (Original) Cuore del centro storico di Polignano a Mare, dove si trova l'entrata principale della chiesa Matrice (chiusa al pubblico aimè). Se non erro l'orologio è funzionante grazie ai proprietari della casa dove si trovano gli ingranaggi dell'orologio stesso, che viene azionato manualmente. Ogni piccola stradina che si snoda da questa piazzetta sfocia nei balconi a picco sul mare che caratterizzano il paese. Da alcuni anni è diventato luogo molto frequentato da turisti a qualsiasi ora o stagione. Ci sono anche alcuni negozietti carini di souvenir o prodotti tipici.

We found the Vinarìa and were caught by the cute vintage Design of the restaurant. But the food was a real disappointment, first of all half of the menu was not available, the toilet was broken and our drinks came in plastic cups. The food we got was highly overpriced for what it was: dry crackers with different toppings that weren’t either local nor fresh. We wouldn’t go there again, but the only good thing we can say is that the ambiance and the decor is really nice and the waitress was friendly and sweet

Walking by we thought it was a lovely little place to have a drink and small bite. We ordered our drinks and mentioned that we wanted to order food later. The waiter did not speak any English and came back with the most expensive food platter on the menu for 30 euros. We said we did not order it but the staff does not speak a word in English. They reacted really angry and unfriendly and said that we had to pay for it. One of the staff even started yelling at us when we tried to explain it with google translate. Conversation with the staff was impossible so we let it go. Food itself was poor quality, cheese was dry, meat looked like it came straight out of the supermarket. Do not go here!!

Come for the relaxing atmosphere and fun colors, but not for the rest. We tried 2 wines and 1 beer. The beer was delicious but the two wines I did not like the two wine I tried (and my second glass was served in a dirty glass), which is ironic for a wine place. The food is very expensive for the quality. Still a nice spot for an aperitivo and to relax at the end of the day.

If you want a rest from the noisy streets and tourists of Polignano a Mare; if you like wine a genuine tastes, this is your place! We enjoyed excellent wines from Apulia, like a rosato (rosée) sparkling wine from Apulia and Primitivo (a red wine from Apulia which is between the best ten in Italy). A selection of local cheeses and salami made everything perfect!

Perfect quiet place for a cocktail break and snack

We stopped by for a glass of wine and enjoyed the atmosphere and peace off the busy touristic paths in the old town.

Disappointed. Do not worse it! The service is coming with charges never saw that in a bar. I do not recommend

At this port, you can easily book anything from a private yacht to a small boat or even a guided sightseeing tour around Polignano a Mare. The small boat we took had eight people on board — one was the captain, and the other seven were tourists who came to enjoy the trip and explore the local attractions. We were absolutely thrilled with the boat ride! 🛥️ After the full sightseeing tour, they let you swim near the boat, which was really fun and refreshing. You can even jump into the water straight from the boat — such a cool experience! The only downside to this place is that most of the public restrooms are either closed or broken. There’s no option to take a shower after swimming in the salty sea, and unfortunately, the toilet cabins have a very strong and unpleasant smell. There is no designated place to change clothes, so you have to do it in the restroom, which is not very comfortable.

Everything was 100% better than we expected. We really enjoyed a service and they deserve 5 star on each site I can put my review on. Amazing views and stories. One small hint for you is that better to get there in summer so you can not only have the sightseeing but also have a chance to swim in Adriatic Sea. Can’t wait to came back again❤️🇮🇹🔥🍓✨

We waited here for our catamaran charter on a very hot day - nice marina but there needs to be more shady areas - we literally had no where to go with 4 children. Too hot and no shade. Also the toilets although a huge area only had 2 female cubicles open vs 6 for men.

We did a 2h30 catamaran tour which was great, we enjoyed it. We recommend for couples & families. Small snacks, fruits, beverages were included. The advertising can be a bit misleading though: - you do not go inside the caves - the water is clear but the beach is the one right next to the harbor

Great place to get boat charter for the day for a ride out to Monopoli for the view and a swim

Clean newer marina. Nice store to buy snacks and public restrooms. Showers didn’t work. Hence 4 stars.

Great place! The boats take you to the rocks of Polignano mare and the caves. The tour I bought offered me champagne and the possibility of swimming in one of the caves. Take a towel and a plastic bag to cover your electronics. Super cool!

We stopped here twice. In the morning we got really good wine by glass and also free condiments. In the afternoon we got a bit less good wine and just 1 condiment. With coffee and Amaro we didn’t get any condiments. Otherwise really good prices, friendly service and great views.

Nice bar in a beautiful square with relaxed atmosphere...we had coffee break there my espresso was fine but my wife's cappuccino literally had 3 drops of coffee in it the rest was milk and that was disappointing. Another disappointment came as I was paying the bill which according to the price list shouldn't have been more than 3 EUR but she asked for 5 EUR - I noticed she put cuttlery of 2 EUR in there although we just had coffee...when I asked she said it was "table service" which was BS but I eventually paid as we were in a rush. Unfortunately this is typical behaviour in some places in Italy like this one...if we ever visit there again will be skipping this one.

Passed by to have an aperitivo. Took aperol and limoncello spritz and an aperitivo mix. The waitress was super nice and smiley, the food and drinks were good

I just had to share how fantastic the staff is here! They're incredibly kind and attentive, making sure you feel right at home. I asked for a drink with a hint of citrus, and they nailed it perfectly! Plus, they're so welcoming to kids, which means a lot to me. Such a wonderful experience all around!

Best place for having an evening drink, and the best stuff ever. The waiter was the most friendly person we have ever met. Thank you for everything.

We stopped here spontaneously for some lunch and my god it was worth it. Lots of comments here complaining about “Coperto” but this standard in Italy and here it’s very cheap. Highly recommend a Pucce.

We stopped for a quick aperol spritz, it was very refreshing. We also got some olives and taralli on the side — simple but delicious. The staff were super friendly.☺️

It's not about the atmosphere, it's about the food, and the food didn't disappoint! This no-frills restaurant is outside behind a building with plastic tables, chairs, and tablecloths. The staff are hard-working and hustle around to make it all happen. Great seafood choices. Prices are reasonable too. The food was so good! I just had to shoo away a few mosquitoes who were vicious. The mixed seafood fry was spot on! Perfect with a little squeeze of lemon and dash of salt.

Honest food, cheap prices, humble people… amazing experience. The octopus, the mussels and the Cuttlefish were perfectly cooked with almost no seasoning, as the fish tastes very good as it is fresh. The spot by itself doesn’t have any glamour, but that’s where humble places serve the best and honest food. We were really happy to have a lunch here and would definitely come back. (Yes, they accept debit and credit cards) Many thanks!

Fresh fish, simple, tasty, if you want to eat something real, traditional, not sophisticated, this is your place. Fair prices.

The best authentic Italian family restaurant. The food it's amazing Very good price. Everything is fresh Don't skip this traditional cucina

Great and quick food, humble spot with genuine working people. Aperol spritz for 5 euro and a massive plate of fried mixed seafood that'll serve 2-3 people for 20 euros. Given how some pretentious places in town will charge you much more for much less of food and drinks, its an absolute bargain. Thank you!

It is a down to earth place and good and drinks are served in plastic plates and cups, plus plastic utensils. But, do not let this deceive you. Food is fresh, delicious and reasonable in portion sizes. Seafood tasted like it just came out of the sea. Very tasty. We had grilled and fried Octopus (10€ each), mozzarella salad (5 €), grilled vegetables (5€), small french fries (3€), 2 bottles of water and two coffee. We paid 43€. Kitchen is tiny. Toilets are clean. The location is outside of the busy streets but the public terrace nearby gives magnificent views of the famous cliffs of Polignano. We got here because we were looking for parking spaces. Highly recommended for easy eating. Besides, it is in walking distance to the town center which is difficult to park.

Such an amazing secret spot hidden away from the busy central. Great simple food which was really high quality and the staff were so friendly. Will visit again for sure!

The perfect place to pop into. No frills, but good coffee and the snacks available were good. Passing foot traffic isn’t excessive or noisy so it’s makes for a nice atmosphere. Short walk to some close by restaurants. Service was quick and friendly.

A great spot for a quick drink before heading out for dinner. We had a really great waiter called Giuseppe, he recommended us various drinks we would never really have before and they were really really delicious. We didn't have any food so I cannot comment on this unfortunately, but the service, atmosphere, and drinks were really great. Great spot for a few quick drinks before dinner. Thank you Giuseppe!

We didn’t try the food other than snacks but the cocktails were incredible!! Giuseppe and the other gentlemen working there gave fantastic service. We went two days in a row. Fun vibe and good location. 10/10

Terrible service. We (4 girls) had a hostel 10 m away from this place. Came to have a few drinks. However while we wanted for our drinks one of our friends wanted to use the bathroom. After a while they told our friend in a nonchalant way that she was not allowed to use the bathroom until we had ordered. Come on, we live 10 m away, we can use the bathroom at home, we came to spend money. Summary, we left!

Overall a wonderful place! The food, location, and ambiance were all terrific. I had the Chicken curry club sandwich and bruschetta. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area especially in a clear and mild afternoon/evening.

Great cocktails, best in Polignano. Feedback for management, QR code on the table is nice but listing signature drinks with pictures and no ingredients or description does not help. 👍

The best experience ever! Giuseppe is really good .. if you don't know what to order ask him ...I recommend this place ❤️

The only good thing about this place is the nice stone walkway outside of it. Chaotic slow service, inconsistent portion sizes, plates served with such time gaps that you don't even eat together, pizza only served at night dispite the name of the place... and the views is not of the water but instead a bridge and wall. Save your vacation and local euros. I am both hungry and angry that I wasted my families time here.

Nice restaurant with a breathtaking view. Was open for a late lunch. Decent prices, good food, excellent location.

(Translated by Google) Normally good food apart from the pasta with clams which tasted like butter. The service was quite poor especially considering the €3 cover charge paid. It wasn't even worth 50 cents. The location is beautiful but as already mentioned the service is lacking. (Original) Cibo nella norma buono Apparte la pasta con vongole che sapeva di burro . Il servizio abbastanza scadente soprattutto contando i 3 € di coperto pagati. Ne valeva manco 50 centesimi . La location è bella ma come già detto manca il servizio.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant noticed by chance while walking. I made a pleasant discovery with high quality products and courteous and trained staff. All combined with a beautiful view. Really excellent quality/price ratio. Absolutely worth trying. (Original) Ristorante notato per caso passeggiando. Ho fatto una piacevole scoperta con prodotti di alta qualità e personale cortese e preparato. Il tutto unito ad un bel panorama. Rapporto qualità/prezzo davvero ottimo. Da provare assolutamente.

(Translated by Google) Romantic place overlooking the sea. The food was truly refined even though we waited a long time to get a table despite having made a reservation. (Original) Posto romantico con l'affaccio sul mare. Il cibo veramente raffinato anche se abbiamo atteso tanto tempo per ottenere un tavolo nonostante la prenotazione.

(Translated by Google) The view from the seats near the windows of the veranda of the venue is incredible, truly beautiful. The menu is not overly broad and indicates frozen/not fresh products. I had a good time without spending a fortune. The waiter was very kind. (Original) Incredibile la visuale dei posti a sedere vicini alle finistre della veranda del locale, veramente bello. Il menù non è esageratamente ampio e indica prodotti surgelati/non freschi. Mi sono trovato bene senza spendere una follia. Il Cameriere è stato gentilissimo.

(Translated by Google) Negative experience. High prices and a cover charge of 9 euros for three people. Good quality dishes but small portions. Not very welcoming. In detail, not particularly cared for and clean. (Original) Esperienza negativa. Prezzi alti e per tre persone ben 9 euro di coperto. I piatti di buona qualità ma porzioni scarse. Poco accogliente. Nel dettaglio, non particolarmente curato e pulito.

The most legit bar I’ve come across in a long time. Just go and find out.

My favourite spot in Polignano. A previous reviewer captured it perfectly - the realm of its owner. The local customers are every bit as nice, real gents.

Fantastic local espresso bar with the best coffee in Polignano a Mare!! Also a great atmosphere

Perfect place ! Wish me made i was staying in polignano al mare instead of bari that way i could have come here everyday. Try the geunine icecream

La birra piú buona in Italy, Dreher. Honestly, a bar with fantastic owner and local ambient! (Fyi: snacks and icecream to eat)

Seemed to be a local bar, where local residents drink their caffee or beer while reading newspaper, but foreign tourists are also totally welcome. This tiny place appears to be the realm of the owner, whose life is reflected by the whole decoration. Loved the atmosphere!

Very sweet bar tender lovely bar

Great vibe without the crowds. Super friendly staff. Perfect spot to chill with a glass of wine or a cold beer. You can also rent an umbrella or a stand-up paddleboard if you’re up for some fun on the water. Totally recommend this place – relaxed and never too busy.

I rented an umbrella and cushions with my husband for Monochile beach under the bridge in Polignano. They were so comfortable for the rocky beach! The service was great. It was very convenient to rent and the cushions were amazing. It is a very short walk to the beach.

Great experience renting cushions and an umbrella. The umbrella had a stand that you could lay rocks on to secure it. Great service and even some drinks to go!

Gorgeous beach! Mix of locals and tourists alike, this is a pebble beach, water shoes recommended!!

Rented the cushion and umbrella pack, it made the rocky beach so much more enjoyable. Service was excellent and thorough, would definitely recommend visiting and seeing what they have to offer. Also had a decent selection of beers/drinks

Such great service! The cushions they rent are a must for a comfortable beach stay (unless you like laying on rocks?). They have free beach service that you can order via WhatsApp. It really is a 5 star experience in a very non-5 star place. I totally recommend it.

Made Polignano a Mare beach soo much more comfortable! Great spritz to go too

A viewpoint that cannot be missed when in Polignano. Very nice place, relaxing, a bit lazy and not too crowded. It is worth spending some time there looking at the sea, rocks and motorboats..

Great views!

This place has an incredible view.

(Translated by Google) A few steps from one of the various panoramic areas of Polignano, this place attached to the restaurant of the same name offers the possibility of savoring sandwiches with local fish specialties such as the famous octopus... The prices are medium-high although quite obvious given that we are in the historic center especially in high season... The only thing is the wait which in my case was about 25 minutes....anyway, very good octopus sandwich.... I will definitely return and recommend it (Original) A pochi passi de una delle varie zone panoramiche di Polignano questo locale annesso al ristorante che ha lo stesso nome,offre la possibilità di assaporare panini con le specialità locali di pesce come il famoso polpo... I prezzi sono medio alti anche se abbastanza ovvio dato che siamo in centro storico soprattutto in alta stagione... L'unica cosa è l'attesa che nel mio caso è stata di circa 25 minuti....cmq panino con polpo buonissimo.... Torneró sicuramente e lo consiglio

Wine over priced! The wine they sell is over half the price cheaper 2 mins away. The guys there don't care either. If you don't want to be over charged go to Salumeria del Ponte which is a 2 min walk. The very nice gentleman there apologised on their behalf.

lovely location, great waiters and the best wine!
