While you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu- I highly recommend grabbing a sandwich with fresh burrata! You can order online for pick up if you don't want to stand in line but make sure you plan ahead- all the food is made with care. It's also open from 12-12 making it a popular spot for most of the lunch, dinner and late night crowd. Do not miss this on your visit!

The restaurant has a nice warm, welcoming atmosphere and the service was friendly and attentive.

In one sentence, this was a series of mishaps and disappointment…read more My friend has allergies to all seafood, so we emailed ahead of time to make sure he could get the 6 course land while I could get the fish 6 course. This is something we do with every restaurant we go to, to make sure he has things to eat and i can also have what i like. They confirmed this was okay. So we went ahead and booked it. And so the following occurs when we arrive; - we are told that in fact we cannot get our respective 6 course meals. He could get his land version, and I need to do a la carte. - instead of giving me time and space to then choose what I want, the waiter pressures me repeatedly to choose what he recommends. I eventually cave since he was clearly not listening to my request for a moment to look over the menu. - the next mishap I tried to assume was just a language barrier. When ordering wine we asked for a specific bottle, which was local. They were out of it so Brought two example bottles of Chardonnay. I asked for something more similar to Sauvignon blanc. The waiter informs me it is from France and not local, which I am obviously aware of, and was asking for something similar. After a confusing back and forth just settled for Sauvignon to just move on. - his first recommendation, was a plate with several kinds of raw fish. Basically no transformation of the food, as you'd expect from a Michelan restaurant. Unexciting and some cuts were bland and seemed poor. The waiter then told me to put olive oil and pepper on it. - next dish was actually a delicious ravioli topped with red prawn - then the main course, fish with veggies. The fish was very dry and bland. The veggie overly watery. - the dessert was alright, not good, but not terrible - then we asked for cappuccinos, were informed they don't have any but were offered coffee. We were instead served espresso which I do not drink. - my friend was not impressed with his food either - I will say the bread was great though and I enjoyed that they served it with olive oil. - the decor was nice Anyway, not at all what I would expect from a 1 Michelan star place.

Lost in translation - good presentation, but…read more.. When seeking a seafood restaurant, we failed to realize a "raw" seafood restaurant was recommended: "the best Apulian dishes in a new, innovative version" - raw.... We walked just beyond the center of Polignano a Mare's main square to Jamanté, based on the enthusiastic recommendation of our host. It turns out the restaurant is a part of the same hotel group where we stayed. By the way the hotel was wonderful. Sitting on the outside patio during the sunset was nice. The cocktails were good. The complimentary appetizer was flavorful; the bread was great. We shared the Calamaro Scottato, but were disappointed in the next rounds. Not a fan of raw fish, I opted for the pasta ragu. My wife had pasta and shrimp. Others had the steamed lobster and eggplant parmigiana. While the presentations were nice, the food lacked flavor and tasted old. The pasta was served at room temperature. The eggplant was bland. We didn't look for another seafood restaurant; we opted for pizza and steaks for the remainder of the trip.

Upscale restaurant located outside the touristy center in Polignano a Mare. We parked at the beach…read morejust to the west (free and convenient) and had a peaceful walk over. The restaurant's decor outside and particularly inside is really beautiful and tasteful, like a high-class boutique hotel. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overly stuffy either -- our main attendant (who I liked a lot) almost had more of an academic vibe to him. We opted for the chef's tasting menu and everything was good, but the main standouts for me were the onion dish and the desserts. Creative and vibrant plating was absolutely top-notch, and the flavors were above average too. Only small complaint is that it took a while for some of the dishes to come out. The restaurant doesn't overcharge for drinks and water, so the total cost wasn't much more than the €85 / person sticker price on the tasting menu. A very nice night overall, we didn't have time but you could also walk along the water to the east to get to the bustling area around Via Roma if you wanted, about another 1km.
