Villa degli Aranci — Restaurant in Polignano a Mare

-- comment on the owner answer. Thx for your reply but let me put in a bit more details. For the fish weight the waiter initially came with half a kilo and then 450 gr. (complete including head,...) At 7.5 EUR per 100 gr. At that price you have only the fish (so then +5 for some insalata + 5 for some potato + 3 for pane & coperto, in total a solid 46 EUR for a garnished plate). I call it pricey. For the pizza I suggest then to add an asterisk on your menu aside of the name "* please note that this pizza will be delivered cold due to the ingredients" You are afraid of not cooking enough the gamberoni (they were too cooked) but not afraid of putting raw gamberoni on the pizza. That does not make sense

Nice setting outside on a terrace with a view on a garden with trees. However we seem to have been a little bit considered as a nuisance by the personnel. In addition the gambero rosso pizza was not delivered hot (and not very rich in gambero) and the other plate (5 gamberi alla griglia) too cooked (was not difficult to manage though as we were only 2 persons and the first ones in the restaurant). Also many things are priced by the weight (fish/lobster), so difficult to know the final price, as obviously you have to order the full fish which may come out pricey. All in all a disappointing experience. Probably native italians will fare much...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Villa Degli Aranci, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The prices were incredibly reasonable, making it easy to indulge in a variety of delicious offerings.

What I loved most was the emphasis on sharable dishes, which encouraged us to try an assortment of flavors. Ranging from exquisite antipasti to delightful small plates, there was something for everyone to enjoy. We found ourselves sampling different bites, making it a fun and interactive dining experience.

However, the standout of the evening was undoubtedly their pizza. Each slice was a perfect blend of crispy crust, fresh toppings, and mouthwatering flavors. It truly stole the show!

The outdoor area added to the ambiance, offering a lovely atmosphere to enjoy our meal al fresco. The service was impeccable throughout the night; the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure we had a memorable dining experience.

All in all, Villa Degli Aranci is a hidden gem that I can’t recommend...

Yesterday evening we had our team dinner at this location. Of course it was my very first dinner at restaurant. The location was great, the restaurant is surrounded by orange trees and it has a beautiful outside seating. Unfortunately the weather did not permit to sit outside. Very nicely furnished inside has made us feel very welcome. This place is famous for its seafood and fish dishes. Specifically to mention the raw seafood dishes. I have tried the raw squid and the raw prawns. To be honest the prawns were not my cup of tea whereas the raw squid was not bad but the portion for a starter was definitely too much. For the main course I tried the stuffed ravioli which were okay. My colleague has ordered the spaghettoni. They tasted amazing, definitely my recommendation. The mixed fried platter is another highlight of this place. The staff was very kind, helpful...
