"Le Focacce Ignoranti" di Fabio Monno — Restaurant in Polignano a Mare

This quaint little restaurant is quite a gem. Small but cool. The service is amazing. We stop there because my wife saw that.the cook was standing outside of the kitchen which sits nicely across from the restaurant. When we walked by and we saw him standing there. My wife asked him, is there Vino in there? And he responded no, this is the kitchen. The restaurant is across the way. He then proceeded to walk us over to the restaurant and introduce us to the server. The server then didn’t hesitate and told us to sit. We couldn’t refuse. And we so glad we did. the food was outrageous. My wife and I are vegetarians and vegans and we could not believe how good the food was. We had eggplant Parmesan and it was to die for. We also had two glasses of red wine that were also good. All we did was ask him for the house wine. the waiter spoke very, very good English. He was really cool. Tats and all.

The accumulation of the content of the response, and of the tone, results in an attitude vis-à-vis of the customer that does not reflect our values ​​as people, customers, tourists, animal lovers and in love with our country. On the contrary, they determine a human attitude that we feel we must report, unfortunately to the detriment of the good efforts of fellow waiters, who told us with a disconsolate air "eh, we know, but you know, today is a complicated day in the kitchen and he's not fine". For a gastronomic activity in such an important crossing point, I believe we can expect better, especially when all similar places nearby demonstrate incomparable quality in...

We happened on this place for lunch one day and I'm so glad we did!. We were a party of 5, were seated in a great shady spot outside right away. The food was excellent! we had caprese salad, risotto , lasagne bolognese and GF lasagne and spumone for dessert. Everything was excellent! In fact, the comment from my daughter for the rest of our vacation was...I could eat that lasagne for breakfast lunch and dinner for the rest of my life! when I tell you we at every crumb of every dish we had. And 2 in our party have celiac and raved about the GF lasagne. Great service and great prices. It's the perfect little Italian cafe. I am now home in NJ craving the lasagne and caprese salad and a dish of spumone for dessert! Buen...
