Sottocoperta — Restaurant in Monopoli

While they have interesting and tasty dishes available, they also have some dishes that are not at all worth the cost (or even being on the menu for that matter). They were very slow and non-acknowledging of this fact. I ordered a salad that tasted like a bag of iceberg and radish lettuce with some boiled chicken and a few chunks of cheese thrown in the mix. There was no dressing, no spices, no flavor at all... not to mention the apples were not included on the salad. When I did make mention of this, I was brought a plate of cut apples. I told them I did not want a plate of cut apples nor the salad, as it was extremely disappointing. I was treated very poorly for this, and they ended up charging me for a salad I sent back to their kitchen. I didn't feel like fighting them for 9 Euro, despite the fact our full bill was 71 Euro ... I would not recommend this place simply because they are not interested in providing a meaningful service and product to...

The only good thing about this place is the view. We made a reservation and waited to be seated only to see another couple that just arrived seated ahead. They then asked us to move for someone else. Food was terrible, it took 45 minutes to get a bland salad with three ingredients which they said took so long because they dropped the first one... meanwhile everyone around us was finishing their second hot dish 🤔. According to what we saw, you'll probably have a fine service if you're white/European/Italian, your food will still be rubbish though. If you must go, just have a drink and take some earplugs for the awful lounge...

Our dinner here was so delicious. We shared a seafood plate for 2 which had a mix of grilled tuna steak, squid, cuttlefish and prawns plus a green salad. The seafood was cooked to perfection and was so tasty. Plus our bottle of Pino Grigio wine was so good. The restaurant has a great vibe and we enjoyed dining outdoors on the terrace with a great view of the harbour.

We will be going again to try the fresh tuna tacos with sides. We saw a few people order this dish and it looked delicious.

We got a tip to come to this restaurant from a guide in Bari and what a great restaurant recommendation that was. A must try...
