Penny — Restaurant in Brindisi

Very delicious seafood restaurant that provides the option of just having single platters which was what we went for. Loved the squid stuffed with chickpeas and potatoes puree. The desert was a chocolate mousse+cottage cheese type which was perfectly balanced (not too sweet, not too creamy, not too chocolaty, and cold) which finished our delicious dinner.

The service was very kind and made adjustments to the food for my pregnant wife (and asked ahead which no other restaurant did during our time in Puglia, which we thought was very thoughtful and mindful of them!) which was very kind.

The restaurant sits near then end of the busy shopping street but it’s quieter than which is great to allow one to enjoy the food and relax while sitting outside. But the inside of the restaurant looks very nice as well, but we chose outside due to the very warm weather that we...

Very well located near the sea and close to Brindisi's shopping avenue, the restaurant has a beautiful vaulted dining room and a terrace. We preferred to dine outside.

The main pro about this wine bar: any wine could be ordered by the glass. Unlike other places, where the most expensive wines are to be ordered by the bottle only and just the cheaper ones by the glass, here there is no such discrimination. The second pro: they serve tapas, small portions of dishes that could match different wines. Ordered the medium tapas menu, which included a portion of Parmiggiana, some eggplant pasta and a shrimps dish among others, which allowed me to taste four different wines! I tested a white one, then a rosé and ended up with two reds: a Negroamaro and a Primitivo, last one on the house. The pasta was not alla Norma but quite similar, a regional recipe, yet tasting completely different from the Sicilian classic. Lovely service and ambiance....
