What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cru Fish Bar is lauded for its incredibly fresh and delicious seafood, with many diners calling it one of the best culinary experiences in Puglia. The top-notch service and warm, romantic atmosphere are frequently praised. However, a few reviews mention small portions and one diner had a negative experience with unsolicited attention from beggars, which detracted from their meal.
"We cannot put into words how good this restaurant is. We spent 25 days in italy, across different regions, and this is for sure in our top 3 best restaurants. Amazing food, amazing environment and amazing service."
Fernando Len
"We treated ourselves to a seafood lunch here and were absolutely delighted! We started with tuna tartare and salmon — both were excellent, but the tuna tartare was truly outstanding. For the main course, we had grilled tuna and crispy fish, which were both delicious and perfectly prepared. We were genuinely impressed by the flavors and presentation. The staff was also very friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh, high-quality seafood!"

Where to eat in Polignano a Mare: the 6 best places chosen by Gambero Rosso
Open for just over a year, this refined spot in the historic centre features stylish interiors, a counter, an open kitchen, and a panoramic terrace. It’s perfect for a quick aperitif, a light lunch, or a full dinner in a convivial and relaxed atmosphere. Starters include fresh oysters, various types of caviar, tartare, and scallops on a pepper coulis with burrata and lime cream, followed by troccoli with sea urchins and crispy umbrina with celery root puree and liquorice.
