In Nordic countries we are used to massive butchers with lots of different meat. It is very rare…read morethat any butcher will sell less than 5-10 meats, but that is the case with Porta Grande - a mixed butcher and steakhouse. Do not think any odd steakhouse. Instead, what you will get is a classic Italian experience with meat grilled to perfection. I haven't tried their restaurant, but I can safely say that their butcher is amazing. This isn't any high tech butcher, but a classic Italian butcher selling different meat by weight. They sell some simple cuts of pig, beef, chicken and lamb - but also buffalo and wild boar. To very friendly prices - especially compared to what wild boar will cost in my home country of Denmark. If available, which is VERY rare - highly unlikely - these cuts will sell for an extreme price. Service here was very Italian. Not fast and we had to wait a bit for any to come. This is Italy and part of the charm. Going to butcher here is just a much more unique experience. You can very likely get meat cheaper around, but the quality here is outstanding. It really is. Remember that their prices are still extremely cheap compared to butchers in the Nordic countries, in the UK and so on. This review is only for the butcher, but they safely receive 5 beautiful stars. I haven't had such a good piece of beef for a long time. Actually this ranks as one of the best steak experiences ever. Meaty, tender and fatty. Just how a piece of beef should be. Just go here, take some amazing meat home to your trulli and grill. You'll be one very happy person.

We chose this restaurant as we have been traveling in south Italy for 3 weeks and we were kind of…read moretired of so much sea food. I read the reviews online and decided to give it a shot. I was blown away by the quality of their local organic meat. The thickest T bone I ever had at an amazing price. This place deserves 10 stars. Fresh carpaccio for starters, grilled veggies, and a nice green salad to accompany a 4 lbs steak. The actual address is the following: Via Parco del Lauro 56 70044 Polignano a Mare BA Italy Somehow, they haven't updated their yelp account to reflect that. These guys deserve all the business. Best steak I ever had in Europe continent...no joke.

Very simple but so delicious! This is a butcher who has put tables on the place of the village…read morefront of his store. You go inside chose your pieces of meat and you will have them serve very well grilled. Must also taste their buratta.

Meh. We came here in a busy Saturday night on the recommendation of our B&B host. Everything was…read morejust ok. Never got the water we ordered, even after reminding the waiter about it. Seafood salad was pretty good, artichokes were okay, and our main dishes were also just ok. Beef carpaccio had some odd ingredients, and the porcini mushroom risotto was almost too hot to eat and a little bland. We came here very hungry and left unsatisfied.

Simply fantastic! We had amazing 'primi' (orichiette ao sugo for my 3 year old, seafood pasta and…read morezucchini with gamberi (shrimp) pasta for the grown ups). We were amazed at the quality of the dishes and the very reasonable portion sizes. Prices were also competitive ($10-13 euros each). Lots of shrimp and seafood. I was amazed my kid ate 90% of her adult portioned pasta after stuffing herself with all the olives she could put her hands on! For 'secondi' we had the fritto misto - octopus, shrimp, tuna and squid. The house white wine was fantastic! All together came down to $60 euro. Service is a bit slow but it's the Italian way. Oh, and since they only had room outside (we didn't have a reservation) they brought us blankets because it was a bit chilly. Win-win!

Outrageous! Me and…read moremy family made a reservation here at La Locanda Porta Picc and we were extremely disappointed and frustrated. The waiter who seated us was very rude and unfriendly; when we told him our reservation he said nothing and looked at a paper, then beckoned with his pen to sit down at a table. Seemed very mad we wanted to dine at their restaurant. Took forever to serve us, and then he dropped a glass bottle onto the floor next to us and didn't even apologize or acknowledge the fact that he dropped it next to our family. Told me to move my chair so he could clean it, absolutely unacceptable and inappropriate behavior. Food was mediocre and took a very long time to come out whilst everyone was served. Ambiance wasn't the best either. We definitely will not return and do not recommend!

From the various steaks to sausages, kebabs, patties, & sides there is everything here to crave that high protein diet. If you're not in the mood for a smorgasbord of meat they also provide lighter fairs of salad, vegetables, & cheeses. The service was super friendly & offered multiple selections. The restaurant resides with the walled city of Mesagne. From here you can hear performers songs echoing off of the stone walls. Just perfect for that long nights sleep after a full meal.
