What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Antiche Mura offers a charming dining experience with its rustic ambiance and focus on fresh, local Apulian cuisine, particularly seafood. While many praise the quality of ingredients and the romantic atmosphere, some reviews mention that the portions can be small for the price and that service, at times, can feel a bit formal or inattentive. Despite some price concerns, it's often recommended for a special occasion or a taste of authentic regional flavors.
"This lovely restaurant came recommended from many sources, and we can absolutely understand why.
The most incredibly fresh sweet seafood we have ever experienced.
Top notch service.
We were fortunate to go along with a lovely Italian couple that we bumped into in the street. They spoke to the staff, but I’m sure the waiters would have been efficient and friendly regardless of our fluent Italian speaking Aussie friends."
Adie Bradley
"“A bit too fancy for my taste—the staff was a bit stiff, and the food was just okay, not great. We had raw tuna, and my pasta had a sour taste that I didn’t enjoy much. That said, the restaurant itself is visually impressive, with a beautiful setup. We had to book in advance, and I would recommend it for the experience at least once. We paid €88 for our dishes."
Alex Daniel
"A great option if you’re looking to treat yourself to seafood or fish. The service was very good, and the way they cook the fish in the oven with olives was spot on. However, it felt expensive for the portion size and quality. For this price, I’ve had much better seafood and fish at similar places."
