La Rosa dei Venti

A pleasant lunch break. I tried the seafood trio as an appetizer and the linguine with scampi, citrus pesto, and chopped almonds, along with some shrimp. Fair prices and good food. It's a bit outside the historic center, but it's just a 15-minute walk away. I think I'll be back.

Excellent food, plenty of it and friendliness. Marino is a character...we've been going there for ten years.

Friendly and helpful staff. I had no issues with timing because everything arrived promptly and without much of a wait. I ordered a first course, a second course, and a bottle of wine. The first courses were fabulous; I recommend the salmon agnolotti and the mushroom and sausage risotto. The second courses were good; we had mixed roast beef and sausage. As for the wine, I recommend the 12 e mezzo white, which is delicious. We had lunch outside, and it was all so relaxing and enjoyable. The bill was reasonable for the generous portions. I've read some people complaining about the bill, but the prices are clearly stated, and for fish, it says there may be variations based on the catch, so I don't understand those who judge poorly. Learn to read instead. A solid 5. Plus, we had the company of two really cute cats.

Yesterday my husband and I had the pleasure of having lunch at this restaurant. To start we had a good house appetizer, followed by two excellent first courses, orecchiette with shrimp, courgettes, porcini mushrooms and cream and tagliolini with scampi and a citrus sauce with chopped almonds...truly spectacular!!! Finally we chose a mixed grill of fish and lamb chops that ended our meal wonderfully. More than satisfactory portions and excellent value for money. The service was also friendly and helpful. We recommend it.

Welcoming place, excellent food...very fresh fish...we've been to this restaurant several times and it's always a tasteful discovery...the appetizers are excellent, especially the octopus salad and marinated salmon. Last time we tried a delicious first course, a scampi and zucchini flower risotto. The waiters are friendly and always attentive to the customer's needs. The owner, Marino, is a wonderful host and a wonderful person. I highly recommend this place! 😊

We arrived early and were warmly welcomed. We had a seafood appetizer for two, two scampi first courses, and a fried fish dish... everything was fresh and plentiful, accompanied by a wide selection of wines and the courtesy of the beautiful and kind waitresses. There was ample parking in front and it was just 5 minutes from the beautiful and charming city of Monopoli... Highly recommended.

Excellent both the service and the freshness and quality of the food, especially the seafood dishes.

We ate very well, I expected a little more from the service, but excellent value for money, a pizzeria restaurant, the environment was not exciting.

The best restaurant in Monopoli. Marino, at the helm, dominates the dining room in an exemplary manner, and the cuisine showcases the quality of the ingredients with skill and authenticity. The pasta dishes and fried seafood are the highlights of this magnificent Monopoli location. A well-deserved 5 stars!
