Ristorante Meraviglioso – Ristorante di pesce a Polignano a Mare

The service and food were impeccable - they absolutely deserve all their accolades! The staff was so accommodating and attentive. I’d have a hard time seeing anyone not enjoying dinner here. / C’était absolument irréprochable! Merci pour un dinner exceptionnel.

Upscale restaurant with unbelievable views and very good food. Pros: The food is really good… not sure what others are complaining about “mixed” dishes. Had cooked tuna, raw appetizers, pasta, etc all were good or excellent. Views from outside are incredible and that’s what you’re ultimately paying for. Service was great in some ways (e.g., crumb sweeping) but maybe a little inattentive in others (e.g., I refilled my own wine). Really large wine/drink list and could have spent a long time sitting drinking here w/ that view. Bathroom really nice if you’re stopping in for a break during a long day. All servers and staff were very friendly to my baby as well Cons: Menu is small so if you don’t eat fish/shellfish, this is not the place for you. Prices are 2-3x the surrounding restaurants but still very reasonable if you’re used to Milan/NYC/Paris prices.

In September 2023, my husband and I dined at this beautifully located, Michelin-recommended restaurant. While the prices are on the higher side and the overall experience was okay, a few highlights stood out. We tried the redfish tube pasta, fish carpaccio, roasted octopus, and grilled lamb. The roasted octopus was excellent—crispy outside and tender inside—and the orange wine recommended by our waitress was delightful. While the other dishes didn’t impress us, we’d return for the wine and octopus alone, as they were truly memorable. The stunning view adds to the ambiance, though it does come at a premium.

Beautifully presented delicious food! The turbot was our favorite dish, although the tomato terrine was a close second.

WARNING- They SCAM tourists by adding extra onto the bill. I am a solo traveller and they saw an opportunity to add €150 to the bill for no reason. They lied and said I broke a plate. I am shocked at a supposed Michelin star restaurant think they can get away with this dishonesty. Please read the other 1star reviews to get a real sense of this awful establishment!

We had a fantastic experience here! The food was cooked to perfection and served with great attention to detail. The service was extremely friendly (we were served by Angela, but everyone else was super lovely too). Beautiful view of the sea too!

Very, very good, one of the best fish carpaccios we have tried. Great wine list, great atmosphere, beautiful open kitchen. Please be advised that it is fine dining, it is a bit more upscale than the rest of the restaurants around, but they deliver.

Unfortunately I am forced to give this restaurant only one star. The food was very good and the view was amazing but the restaurant has a booking policy which to me is very unfair. It is a common procedure to take your card details when booking a table. This is for a restaurant to have a security in case the guests don't cancel their reservation early enough or don't show up so I was ok to also give my card details this time when booking this restaurant. We arrived on time and I informed the service that we booked the table on line. The bill was around 190 Euros which I paid by my card at the end of lunch. However, the next day I realised that the restaurant charged me additional 20 Euros for the booking charge. When I called the restaurant to ask for a refund, they informed me it would be given back in a week time. A month passed by, no refund shown. I emailed the restaurant then - no response. I called them again, they promised to look into it, again to refund to my account. It has been now almost three months and I was not given my 20 Euros back. It is not the case of money but the case of principle and honesty. I am very crossed with this situation and wrote this review as a warning for anyone wanting to book this restaurant online
