Aresta LA Braceria In Monopoli

Definitely good, on holidays there is a bit of frenzy which on the surface seems like confusion, but with professionalism it is managed well.

Everything was definitely excellent

This is a mega grill restaurant. If you fancy great meat, well grilled. This is the place for it. We had a great evening with local specialties as a starter and grilled and a nice T-bone as a main course. We liked it.

Very select choice of meats Both local and international Excellent service

Super positive review for this little place in the countryside of monopolies, starting from a well-kept and clean place and excellent food, top meat but above all excellent appetizers, worthy of our land, simple but delicious, I think the strong point of this place is the service , always friendly, impeccable and smiling! This point is often taken for granted but it is not obvious... always very attentive, fast and with a real smile until the last minute (we were the last table to get up). Price consistent with what we consumed, appetizers, first course, barbecue, wine, drinks and desserts for around forty euros each. We had a wonderful Sunday and we will definitely be back.

Excellent grill, it has maintained excellent quality on the meat for decades. Starters and everything that does not concern meat are too expensive and have small portions, in fact it would be more appropriate if they brought menus (which was not done) with the type of starter, side dishes, wine and beer list, etc... listed. also to realize how much to pay right away, without the surprise effect at the end. Pleasant evening, cool and super quiet place, delicious meat, very kind waiter and owner.

The Braceria Areata presents itself well. It has an area of ​​wooden tables that accompany the customer to the entrance of the butcher's shop. The counter was still full of meat as we arrived early. They also have a wide selection of local appetizers (courgettes alla poora, fritters with tomato or strong ricotta, we accompanied them instead with capocollo; friggitelli, aubergines with mushrooms, courgette flowers, etc). After a round of abundant appetizers we ordered a fair amount of meat (mixed bombette and steaks). Very good meat, especially the steaks were excellent. The place then quickly filled up, so after a quick dessert, a round of bitters and we left. In this case we paid around €50 each, but ate excellent and abundant meat. Note of merit: one of the few places with non-alcoholic beers available (albeit in limited quantities).

Place discovered by pure chance on Christmas day, while we were looking for a non-touristy restaurant after the morning spent in Monopoli. The owners and staff welcomed us with kindness and friendliness, despite being literally overwhelmed with work. We tried the 50 euro fixed menu: lots of dishes, excellent products and cooked to perfection. In the end, the owner wanted to offer lunch to my two children who had only had a plate of pasta. If and when we return to Puglia, we will definitely return. Thank you again for the lovely Christmas lunch you allowed us to have.

Ci siamo tornati dopo tanto tempo e non ci hanno delusi anzi ci hanno fatto venire voglia di tornare il prima possibile. Cibo ottimo, squisito, gustoso. Consiglio di assaggiare anche i loro antipasti.

I invited friends and I had not been there for a while. I had good memories and Luigi , the Padrone, was simply excellent. He suggested best cuts, best “bombette, great appetizers and magnificent Red Primitivo. Well served in all simplicity. Nothing left on the plate! Bravo Luigi, we will Be back!
