Reviews
Celebrated my belated 50th birthday here and the food was amazing and the staff very friendly as well.
Seafood was very fresh, and flavours of all the dishes we got were outstanding. I can see why this gets great ratings and is Michelin starred. Would highly recommend coming here.
Absolutely top-notch Italian fine dining. The waitstaff were attentive, helpful and not pretentious. The food was delicious (we shared an entree, each had a pasta, shared a dessert). We were walk-ins - and the experience at this restaurant is undoubtably a highlight of our holiday in Italy. Can’t recommend highly enough!
I would travel back to Polignano a Mare just to go eat at L’Osteria di Chichibio !!!! The quality of the fish is top notch, you cannot find fresher sea products. The cuisine is too notch. The service is so courteous but with that happy and smiley vibe from Southern Italy. I had a lunch that I’ll definitely remember!!!
Extremely tasty food that is beautifully presented on the plates.
I had to remove 2 stars because although the food was Michelin star quality, the service wasn't at point, slow and not efficient.
My wife had the mixed seafood platter and wasn't given an empty plate for the shells nor wet towel to clean her hand.
My son and I had pasta with seafood in a bowl and no where to put the shells; we had to wait forever to get an extra drink although it wasn't crazy busy.
Nice little spot a little upscale. We started with the eggplant parm seafood which was good presentation was better than the taste. Main courses we had one zucchini pasta and sea urchin. The zucchini one was watery but the sea urchin was pretty good.
The waiter initially told us there was no room but then we spoke to the host and he sat us down immediately so that was an odd exchange.
Overall score 4.1
Nice experience at Michelin recommended one. The only unfortunate experience was with Grappa as waiter told us to take care of us and we paid 8€ per little glass in the end. Apart from it oyster, pasta with sea urchin and red prawns were amazing! Price/performance is really good 👍🏼
Food was tasty. Service was terrible and not deserving of a Michelin star. I think you can get equally good food and fresh seafood at other places in town. Another reviewer said that if you don’t look “rich” they overlook and ignore you and that seems to be the case. The high food prices do not reflect the level of treatment you get.
Not really convinced by this restaurant. It has numerous Michelin guide awards but we struggled to understand why. For starter we had octopus and while it was beautifully presented, the octopus was well overcooked. For primi we had pasta with porcini and prawns. The prawns again were overcooked and rubbery. For restaurant that specializes in seafood it is quite shocking. One really good dish we had was squid ink pasta with seafood. But otherwise it was a very average experience.
