Pantagruele

I was hesitant to go to this restaurant due to the reviews. Although some of them are 5 star other are not. I should have trusted my gut feeling and go immediately. No wonder it has a Michelin star ⭐. Local products done right?. Press ingredients prepared in the right way. A luxury through a simplicity. The starters were amazing. Especially the fried code with your garlic sauce. And spaghetti with mussels and roe was phenomenal. If you're in the area you have to go there. Excellent wine choices and variety. Service for fast and always with a smile. Prices reasonable. The decoration and the whole atmosphere was amazing. Thank you for making my evening and experience. Remember.

After 7 days of traveling around Italy, my husband and I wanted something "on a spoon", liquid, in the sense of soup. Although it was not on the menu, we asked the waiter and expressed our desire. We were very pleasantly surprised when, before cooking, he brought the pieces that would be in our soup 👍 it was perfectly cooked, very tasty, really, all praise 🥰👍 Also, all the larger pieces were served alongside the main soup, so you could add them as you wished or eat them separately, which is also very commendable! Delicious 🥰

The pasta was outstanding. Fresh, homemade. All the food was amazing. Service was excellent. Super nice. And the Tiramisu was the best I’ve ever tasted in my life

we had high expectations, having found this restaurant on the michelin guide, but we did not find it deserving of its suggestion. between 4, we ordered 2 of the mixed starters of “land and sea”. these were fine but unremarkable - the prawn curry in particular had only 2.5 prawns the size of fingertips in the entire bowl, which was shocking given that this was meant to be two portions. for mains, we ordered the grilled swordfish, steak, spaghetti al vongole, and truffle ravioli. the vongole was not available so they proposed adding monkfish to the spaghetti instead. the swordfish, completely overcooked and still swimming in water, and the rubbery and watery steak arrived first, after which we had to wait another 5 minutes on the table for the other 2 mains to arrive, by which time the first dishes were cold. the fish accompaniment to the spaghetti was slopped onto the plate with sauce all over the rim. the ravioli was the only decent food left on the table but not worthy of its hefty €30 price tag. with almost everything that arrived to the table, we had to add a lot of salt to bring out any flavour. the service was friendly but uncoordinated, and plates were constantly removed from the table as we were still eating. wine glasses were filled slowly despite being the only table in the restaurant until 9:30pm (and even then only one other table had been filled). we did raise an issue with the steak, which was kindly removed from the bill, but all in all we would not recommend this place.

Big expectations, but average experience. Do not think like a Michelin restaurant. Coliflower overcooked, pasta also overcooked, hard particles in apetizers . Average tasty but not high rated one.

This restaurant is the embodiment of the Michelin guide’s Bib Gourmand. Starters are a beautiful selection of different dishes that let you sample the chef’s creativity. I highly recommend coming here, sharing a starter, trying one of their daily specials and one of their deserts. This place alone made the visit to Brindisi worth it!

The food and service were OK but as you're paying high end prices they should be perfect. Small things like delivering the food on warm plates so it doesn't go cold before you have finished eating should be standard. If you pay a lot for fish, you should get the whole fish not just one fillet which is a half of the fish. There are signs for Michelin accreditation from 2020 and 2021 which shows it was a very good restaurant 4 years ago. Maybe this place is living off past success?

Lovely place for lunch in Brindisi. We came here for a relatively quick bite before heading off to the airport and it was a great find near the port. Really good and fresh seafood, the chips were especially popular with the kids.

We spent the evening in Brindisi a couple of days ago. They suggested we had a salad instead of antipasti as a starter which was just that: salad, but the main course was really nice. My wife had a Nice risotto with seeds and I had the Dorade which was prepared in a butter sauce, came unaccompanied but tasted really great. There were quite a few locals at the place, always a good sign although Brindisi isn't the most touristic place after all. My desert, a local gelato specialty, was not really a hit, but couldn't take away the great memory of that fish. I'd go back just for that.

If you want to try great fish from the area this is one of the three best places to do it
