Antica Trattoria Comes

Best restaurant we ate at in all of Puglia!! We even came here twice in our 6 nights of stay. Family run and owned. Very authentic and food was incredible. Tried almost everything on the menu and all 10/10. Octopus was very tender both the salad and the grilled option. Orecchiette was our favorite pasta dish off the menu menu however all pastas were exceptional. Even the desserts were amazing. Giuseppe was very attentive and went above and beyond during both our dinners. Highly recommend you don’t want to miss it.

During our four days in Polignano a Mare, we ended up having dinner at Antica Trattoria Comes twice. It’s a classic, long-standing local restaurant, and the food was amazing — full of fresh seafood flavor. We loved every dish, and their risotto is a must-try. And we have to mention the owner. The first night he seemed pretty serious, but when we went back the next day, he recognized us right away and even started joking with us. The whole experience was not only delicious but also really fun and memorable.

This spot is a real gem tucked away in Polignano a Mare. Giuseppe was fantastic-a warm and welcoming host who made the experience special. The food was outstanding. We started with a fresh frutti di mare platter, followed by a selection of pasta. The dishes were characterized by their beautiful simplicity, perfectly capturing the authentic, local flavor of Puglia. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed the food. The recommended pairing wine is fantastic. Above all, the legendary superman Giuseppe who runs the entire front of house alone was amazing. He was attentive to every table, and remember the name of each guests. Recommended

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Antica Trattoria Comes in Polignano a Mare. From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth of true Italian hospitality.

The risotto was good the others I've had better elsewhere. They charge a 2.5 euro cover fee per person, and considering that, I would have expected them to turn on the air conditioning instead of leaving us in the hot restaurant, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable.

Clean and tidy place. Courteous and warm-spirited staff. Food arrived quick and was well seasoned. I ordered the pasta with veal meatroll, meat portion was quite small. Air conditioning working well - definitely important in the warm weather

This was one of the best experiences that we had in Polignano a Mare! Giuseppe was the best waiters we have ever had the pleasure of meeting! The food was amazing, the braciole and the mussel pasta were our highlights, we would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting! Thanks for a fabulous evening.
