So... we read some mixed reviews about Brigante but decided to make a reservation anyway. I've rated the food 1 but we never are here and this is because the following: We made a reservation for 6 people at 7.30pm. My family and I were walking around Monopoli but suddenly I felt very queasy. I'm pregnant and sometimes I get this. So we decided to already walk to the restaurant because it was very busy in town and asked if we could already have a seat. We specified we didn't want to bother them and that we understand that we were 40min early but that we would not be a nuisance. The waitress was hesitating and thus she asked another (I think maybe the boss) waiter and he didn't even look at us. He just started shouting some things in Italian, shouting "no no no" and making wave gestures with his hand to "shoo" us away. Needless to say we will never step foot in this place ever again. Best seafood? I don't think so. Ciao Bellas! Btw the street might look cosy from one angle but it doesn't from another angle ;)
