Grottardito In Polignano a mare

Lunch on a Sunday in March. If you get the right table there is a beautiful sea view (only a visit because the restaurant does not directly overlook the sea but the square below). The problem is getting to the right table. Even though we had arrived with the room completely empty and on the phone we had specified a table with a sea view, to our request the friendly waiter replied that first come, first served (?!) and made us sit in the corner with the sea behind us. We would later understand that it was a place full of regulars so everyone had their usual assigned seats. Okay. As for food, the menu is very varied. The usual friendly waiter, however, forces us to order everything immediately, without first perhaps taking an appetizer and a first course and then figuring out whether to take the second course. Result? We only ordered a first course and we missed them because we would have liked something else. As for the wine, we were brought a bottle with a different label from the one indicated on the menu but in this case too we were hastily told that "it's the same wine" so in this case too it's okay. The place is nice and the food isn't bad. Maybe we had a bad day.

The Grotta Ardito restaurant is the perfect place if you want to dine in Polignano in peace just a short distance from the centre. Everything was delicious, especially the salmon carpaccio and the raw scampi. The value for money is excellent, the location and the view are very beautiful. Nice and friendly staff, I recommend it

excellent restaurant, varied and quality food, impeccable service, we will return!!!

Pesce fresco molto buono su una terrazza in prima linea sul lungomare di Polignano, quindi con una posizione bellissima. Unica nota non troppo positiva i prezzi medioalti e il menu non troppo fantasioso. Consigliato

Third time we go. All delicious with a wonderful view over Polignano and the sea

È un ristorante eccellente per il servizio per il cibo per il rapporto qualità/prezzo e per la cortesia del personale. Ci torneremo di sicuro!

Ambiente accogliente, servizio ottimo crudità di pesce ottimo, primi all' Astice ottimo, delusi per i risotti mare.

Tutto perfetto, alta qualità del prodotto e accoglienza. Siamo stati al piano superiore e l'ambiente mi riporta allo stile Neoclassico e ben illuminato con musica di sottofondo soft, poi porzioni che le vedi e già sei felice. Insomma che dire... ANDATECI!!!

Ristorante carino che consiglio vivamente, ottimo servizio, cibo e vino buonissimo e prezzo nella media.

Met the hype for sure. This place is a MUST
