What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Puro offers a unique fusion of Japanese sushi and Italian seafood, consistently praised for its fresh ingredients and creative menu. While many rave about the exceptional quality of the sushi and the pleasant ambiance, some find the portion sizes inconsistent with the premium pricing. Occasional comments also note that solo diners might find the experience less welcoming during peak hours.
"Incredible sushi and fish. Very creative menu. Not entirely welcoming to solo diners so go early or later than peak times. Worth the wait but disappointing that the management was not more friendly and accommodating since I returned frequently and ordered / tipped well."
Sue Devitt
"The Good: The soy sauce was excellent, and the beef was cooked perfectly - tender and clearly high quality.
The Not-So-Good: Portion sizes felt quite off, and while the sushi was fine, it didn’t stand out.
Overall, I’m a bit puzzled by the high ratings. The sushi was decent but not remarkable, the beef was good but not exceptional - and for a premium price point, the experience didn’t quite deliver.
39€ for 2 pieces of sushi, the “Fine Preussian Beef,” and a water feels steep."

"Great ambiance, welcoming service.
We walked in without reservations and were seated immediately. They started our experience with an amazing marinated tuna. All sushi we tried were fresh and great. The edemame was done perfectly (not over cooked, right amount of salt). Definitely recommend."

Top 10 Restaurants In Polignano A Mare, Italy
Southern Italy might not seem the likeliest locale for traditional Japanese cuisine. But given Polignano a Mare’s seaside setting there’s certainly enough raw seafood produce to satisfy any diner visiting the town’s only resident ‘Giapponese’ restaurant, Puro. Small plates like tuna tataki or edamame are followed by a wide selection of sushi (such as nigiri, uramaki, hosomaki and futomaki rolled with fresh fish including spicy shrimp, salmon and tuna), and hot dishes including cod tempura and pork tonkatsu, which are all perfectly washed down with Puro’s range of sake, wines and imported Japanese beers.
Polignano, dove mangiare e bere
Poco distante, Puro (Via S. Vito, 15/17) offre una versione di cucina marinara capace di unire due emisferi in una religione sola, quella del crudo in salsa nippo-pugliese. Insomma sushi sì, ma di altissimo rango e materie prime di eccezionale qualità. Non è poco, ma non è ancora tutto.
The Ultimate Travel Guide to Polignano a Mare
If you’re looking to switch up your dining and venture away from Italian cuisine for a meal, then Puro is my top recommendation. Making the most of Puglia’s catch-of-the-day seafood, this sushi restaurant serves a wide variety of nigiri, sashimi, rolls, and more.

The quality and freshness of the ingredients, both fish and meat (the wagyu is spectacular). The staff is well-trained, knowledgeable, and friendly. The location is excellent.
