Villa degli Aranci

The restaurant is located 3 minutes from the tourist area, it is elegant and with prompt service. We ate pizza, cuttlefish & octopus and spaghetti. 4 people, 98 euros with a beer and 2 bottles of water. Cover 3 euros per person.

In September, my husband and I dined at this charming restaurant set amidst an orange grove. We tried the scampi risotto with orange, the catch of the day, and lemon sorbet. While the setting is lovely, the food and service were okay. A decent choice if you’re local, but not worth a special trip.

Celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday here while visiting Polignano! Fantastic service, food and such a gorgeous atmosphere! We were seated on the balcony overlooking the greenery and it was just beautiful! Everything was delicious and I would highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Villa Degli Aranci, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The prices were incredibly reasonable, making it easy to indulge in a variety of delicious offerings. What I loved most was the emphasis on sharable dishes, which encouraged us to try an assortment of flavors. Ranging from exquisite antipasti to delightful small plates, there was something for everyone to enjoy. We found ourselves sampling different bites, making it a fun and interactive dining experience. However, the standout of the evening was undoubtedly their pizza. Each slice was a perfect blend of crispy crust, fresh toppings, and mouthwatering flavors. It truly stole the show! The outdoor area added to the ambiance, offering a lovely atmosphere to enjoy our meal al fresco. The service was impeccable throughout the night; the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. All in all, Villa Degli Aranci is a hidden gem that I can’t recommend highly enough!

Villa degli Aranci is a beautiful place, no doubt about it. However, our experience was quite disappointing due to the poor service.

It felt like we were placed in a forgotten corner. Halfway through our meal, a waiter placed a service table just inches away from ours to transport dishes — it felt intrusive and careless.
