Il Cantinale - MONOPOLI

We entered this restaurant with high expectations. The setting, the decor, the toilets were all beautifully pointed. We asked the waiters for advice on which pizzas to order and we were told two were excellent. We ordered one of them and sadly that wasn’t true. It was advertised as having mortadella in it there wasn’t any. The dough was also raw and undercooked. We pointed this out to the waiters. Nothing was offered as an alternative or the pizza taken off our bill or even a free lemoncello in good jest. Very sad! We won’t be back!

Good basic restaurant Sea is less visible from the LED lighted terras Full with solely Italians showing the quality of the food

We had a terrazza table with a sea view on a Saturday evening as “early” diners at 8pm. We took a look at the fresh fish on order and chose ricciola. The head waiter was a good salesman, charming and attentive. He explained how it would be prepared, then returned saying the chef would cook it another way in a “typical monopolitana ricetta.” We also ordered a seasonal salad full of greens, different tomatoes, and baratinna sort of a cucumber/melon mix), roasted potatoes , and grilled vegetables. When the fish arrived the head waiter deboned and prepared it onto our plates along with the potatoes, tomatoes, and olives, accompanied with a broth to put over the fish. Everything was delicious. The staff was courteous and attentive. I suppose the only fault would be that the price of the fish according to its weight) should have been told to us. You probably should ask so you’re not surprised by it. Overall though we recommend Il Cantinale!!

We found it by chance and I immediately liked it... we were in the downstairs room... small cozy and intimate... great pizza! friendly service and very attentive and especially unintrusive... we would definitely recommend it

A wonderful place, cared for in every detail. the quality of food is high, really an experience to repeat more and more times. a guarantee, good!
