I am honestly thinking about their Spaghetti Assasina every day since we've left Poligano. It was by far the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. And yes it is authentic to the Puglia region and vegan by default. The tomato sauce is reduced on the pan so much it becomes extremely intense with crispy caramelised bits of the pasta being the absolute best. What a symphony of flavour!

It turned into our favourite restaurant in Polignano a Mare and we went back on multiple occasions and we always left so happy. They open just before 19:00 but I’d definitely advise coming early as they don’t take reservations and you can expect to have to wait in line to get...
Read moreI had the pleasure of dining at Il Quadrifoglio during our stay in Polignano a Mare, and it was truly a highlight of our trip! This charming restaurant serves up creative, delicious dishes that showcase the best of Italian cuisine.
The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a crispy crust and flavorful toppings. The salads were fresh and expertly prepared, with a focus on locally-sourced ingredients.

The service was top-notch, with friendly, attentive staff who made us feel right at home.
