We stopped by on our way from Otranto to Monopoli for dinner, due to all the high reviews and was…read morenot disappointed! We tried several raw offerings - all of which were delicious and fresh. The pastas were just ok - overly cheesy so you couldn't taste the other ingredients as well. The calamari was way oversalted. Think someone accidently salted it twice! The grilled veggies were good. The restaurant looks very nice but it's not pretentious.

The fish tacos were good but the tuna with grilled veggies (green peppers) was not good at all. Not…read moremuch flavor, and no sauce. The tiramisu was not great either. What was most disappointing though, was that the staff made us feel unwelcome. We quickly paid the bill and had an after-dinner drink elsewhere just to avoid being ignored/snubbed.

Instead, this was an authentic Italian meal. Christan was great; he recommended local wines that complemented the food and our taste. We had the medium tapas plate and then plates of pasta. Luckily it was a short stumble back to the boat after so much wine.

Penny's was fantastic! I ate here two nights on my trip and would go back again. To start off with,…read morethey had gluten free bread that was amazing and gluten free crackers. I have celiac and they are very aware of celiac and could make almost every dish gluten free and marked it for the chef. I started each meal with wine that they helped me select. Both pasta dishes and salmon were delicious and didn't taste gluten free at all. The chocolate sponge cake with rum was also amazing. I really enjoyed my meal the two nights and the service was great. The first night I spent about 49 euros when I got drinks,two courses, and an appetizer. The second night I spent 35 euros when I got wine, just one course, and dessert. I think it was definitely worth the cost. Thank you for your great service and food!

We spent the evening in Brindisi a couple of days ago. They suggested we had a salad instead of…read moreantipasti 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.
