Nice little find tucked away from the main drag. The patio was perfect for a quiet dinner. Had the lamb ragu&mdash;rich and tender. Their house red was a solid, rustic Chianti that paired beautifully with the dish. A bit pricey, but you&#39;re paying for the location and vibe.

Right by the beach, super handy for a quick bite. Grabbed a sandwich to take down to the water. The poke bowl looked good too, maybe next time.

Stumbled upon this place. Fish is super fresh, flavors are spot on. Quick service, fair prices. Perfect for a quick bite.

Had the squid sandwich for lunch. It was tasty, the bread was fresh. But honestly, for the price, I expected a bit more filling. The portion felt a little light. Drinks were fairly priced though.

Stopped by for their 24-hour ice cream machine. The hazelnut &#39;caress&#39; was good, lactose-free which is nice. Machine&#39;s a cool idea for late nights.

The bread with olive oil and watermelon emulsion was a nice touch, but the portion felt a bit small for the price.

Been coming here for years. The tiramisu is the reason. It&#39;s always just right, not too sweet, with that perfect coffee-soaked layer. That&#39;s the one thing I order every single time.

This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with a fantastic selection of seafood dishes. The paccheri with grouper and the sea bass in salt were particularly outstanding!

Found this cute little family spot in Gallipoli! They had some solid veggie options, which was a nice surprise here. The pasta was simple but really tasty. Just a chill place to catch up with friends over a long meal.

I had a wonderful lunch here with attentive service and gourmet food. The intimate atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing meal.

The owner and staff were friendly and attentive. It was a nice, quiet evening.

The grilled prawns were the star for me. So juicy and that smoky flavor was just right. The carpaccio was fresh too, nice presentation. A solid spot for seafood.

Giulia and her husband are lovely. The monkfish was the standout for me - cooked just right, really fresh. The view from the old town side is nice, too. A solid spot for a quiet meal.

The ice cream was creamy, just right. Crepes were solid, not too sweet. I liked the texture of the crepe itself, a good chew to it. Simple but done well.

Staff was super nice, made us feel at home right away. The host even remembered my name from a visit months ago. Just a really friendly spot to grab a bite.

Found this little place down a quiet alley. The chairs were surprisingly comfortable, which made a big difference for a long lunch. I could just sit back and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere without any fuss.

The pistachio tiramisu was a standout, really good. The local spumone is also worth ordering. The space itself is lovely, with these big windows that let in so much light during the day.

Good for a quick bite. Menu changes daily, keeps it simple. Desserts are a solid finish.

Busy night but the staff kept things moving. Got our order in quick, food came out hot. No waiting around even with a full house.

The space is so clean and calm, it feels like a little oasis. The owners have really created a lovely, zen-like atmosphere. It&rsquo;s very simple and inviting, which made for a very relaxing lunch.

The linguine with sea urchins was the highlight for me. The sea urchin was incredibly fresh, with a clean, sweet taste that wasn&#39;t overpowering. You could tell it was sourced well. The pasta was cooked just right, too. A lovely, simple dish that let the quality ingredients shine.

Really beautifull and homemade food of high quality (specially meat). If you try you want come back, sure.Inside nature, to be tested under a starry sky.

Seafood was great. Desserts from the downstairs bakery are a must.

The sea bass with lemon sauce was lovely. Simple, well-cooked. The tables are nicely spaced though, which makes for a relaxed meal. Service was friendly and not rushed.

Highly recommended for its welcoming atmosphere and impeccable service. The food quality is outstanding, with unique vegan options that cater to various tastes.

I would definately recommend this restaurant when visiting Otranto - delicious tapas style dishes, all with a modern twist. Very refreshing after having had many traditional meals whist in Puglia.

Came for the classic Margherita but ended up trying a Nutella pizza for dessert. The sweet pizza was a fun surprise, and the portion was huge &ndash; we couldn&#39;t finish it. Friendly service, but honestly, the value for the size is what stood out.

Lovely setting, great food  - menu is limited but it meant the boys tried different things which was great - good value as well and the staff were lovely. NB - Remember mosquito spray you are outside and it is warm

We had an excellent dinner at this family-run Agriturismo and we really appreciated the menu with local dishes, all prepared by the wife of the owner. The men&ugrave; is a set men&ugrave; and offers one antipasto, a first course, a dessert and coffee/amaro with all the fresh and hand made products of the day. This is why it is a set men&ugrave; and does not provide more choices.We really liked the Tenuta, the atmosphere, the owner that spent time to explain all the dishes and the wines he was suggesting us.I definitely recommend this place and will come back next year.
