The quality of the fish was good but the portions were small.
I'm sorry, but the grilled fish was raw, the kids' pizza was also raw at the base (it was a frozen one), my grilled octopus was good but consisted of only two tentacles... and the price wasn't cheap for what we ate. Much, much better could be done.
The food and service were truly excellent. I highly recommend the delicious first courses, especially the grilled sea bream, which was excellent. Perhaps it was my personal taste that made me dislike the stuffed calamari. The waiter was incredibly kind and approachable, and the prices were below average for Vieste.
On Thursday, September 10th, we returned for dinner. We had just sat down when it started raining. Luigi and Michele didn't lose heart and set the table inside, and when the rain stopped, they casually set the table outside again.<br>The dishes were always delicious, and the kindness and friendliness always came first. Kudos to Tomas, too.
A classic surprise. And what makes me most happy is that while the previous reviews helped a bit, it wasn't among the places recommended by many locals. But it was at the top of my list "by instinct." The Vieste-style mussels were absolutely superb, with the inevitable mopping up of the bread, as were the stuffed mussels. The prawns were truly meaty, and the fried prawns (equally meaty) and calamari were tasty and absolutely not greasy. The sea bass was excellently cooked. A restaurant that honors fresh seafood. Luigi is also a great host, and I, who work in the same industry, particularly appreciate that. They're not on the menu, but there are also pasta dishes every day.
excellent food, fair prices, very very kind staff.
The place was a bit chaotic. The grilled fish was raw inside. The pizza wasn't cooked; it was white and rubbery underneath. The overall quality was poor.<br>The wine was unremarkable; it seemed to have been diluted with water. We ate poorly and paid a lot.
Buongiorno quando si và a mangiare in qualche posto e non si gusta il piatto scelto bisogna farlo notare subito al responsabile invece lo si mangia tutto il piatto e poi si lamenta che non e buono poi il vino se per lei e allungato con acqua vuol dire che e abituato a bere i brik comprati ai discount da quattro soldi e giustamente non riesce a capire la differenza di vino purtroppo siete abituati andare a mangiare e bere nella speranza di specularci sopra quindi morale della favola prima di consumare tutto il piatto imparate a fare notare il problema, se mai ci sarebbe.Visto le tante recensioni grazie e buona giornata
Everything was very good. Homemade flavors. Everyone loved it. Service was quick. I didn't even have time to photograph the stuffed mussels before they were gone. Very good.

Definitely worth a try and highly recommended!
Seafood restaurant in the center of Vieste. It's not a tourist destination, so our first recommendation is to book during peak season. The atmosphere may seem basic, with outdoor seating and a simple table setting. The service was attentive, friendly, and timely, with top-notch waiters. The food is superb: fresh, seasonal produce and generous portions. There's a wide selection of wines (the house wine is top-notch). Excellent value for money. Don't hesitate: go there.
If you've been on vacation all your life and are looking for nouvelle cuisine, this might not be for you; however, if you appreciate excellent value, a friendly atmosphere, an easy location, and the taste of the sea, you're in the right place. In fact, if you're lucky enough to dine there at the beginning of your vacation, I bet you'll end up wondering when we'll be back! It's an experience that will satisfy both taste buds and soul. I highly recommend booking.
Good value for money.<br>Good service.<br>Warning: Super stuffed squid.
We had a great time. Fresh fish. The stuffed mussels were truly special! Excellent service.
Terrible experience starting from the appetizers with 4 seafood bruschettas half burnt and filled with very small quantities for 15 euros, not to mention the stuffed mussels, 4 in number, filled only with breadcrumbs so much that they tasted only of that, then a first course orecchiette with yellow cherry tomatoes, rocket and prawns tasted only of tomatoes because the prawns were 2 in number and placed there like that... finally the normal mussels and octopus... high prices for the quantity and quality. To be avoided.
Salve, fra tante recensioni positive, prenderemo spunto anche dalla sua esperienza negativa per cercare di migliorarci. Grazie comunque per aver dedicato del tempo a recensirci: anche le critiche, quando costruttive, possono aiutarci a crescere e a migliorare il nostro servizio...
great food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere!
For the way we ate, for the helpfulness of the host (the chef was uncooperative at 11 pm, rightfully so!), for the melt-in-the-mouth octopus, for the intensity of the clams (all fresh fish!), for the very fair price, I'll be back.<br>Excellent coffee.
The quality of the fish, the cuisine, and the staff make Brace del Mare an excellent place to stop for a seafood dinner.<br><br>It's a small restaurant, so reservations are recommended.<br><br>Recommended! ☺️
