    I would give this restaurant 0 stars if I could. Absolutely horrible experience, virtually inedible food that left us all feeling ill afterwards. Food was bland, we got a mix of seafood starters and fish of the day along with Gnocchi “ragu”. The food arrived cold (not just the fish dishes which are meant to be cold, but even the pasta and main course cooked fish). The Gnocchi ragu was barely a ragu feeling more like chili con carne. The grilled vegetables were cold and undercooked. The only enjoyable dish being the Burrata starter which is only due to the ingredients not the preparation. To top it off everything was insanely overpriced and definitely not worth it.

    Non authentic Pugliese food served with ridiculous prices (eg for three people it came to 104 euros) and small portions. Extremely lacking in flavour and seasoning ! Our dishes returned to the kitchen full ! We were very much disappointed considering the unusually high Google rating ?! As a food lover who thoroughly researches before she eats she was massively underwhelmed and walked away feeling not well. They tried to give us a liquor to hush us so that we left with a pleasant experience however that was NOT THE CASE ! I’m not one to review but this one left a terrible impression on us !

    We were fortunate as we managed to get a table without booking. The food was good and certainly met our expectations. We give 4 stars because of a few mildly annoying aspects incl the English menu which was available via QR code and it was not updated online so we selected two dishes that were no longer on the new menu (that is always disappointing), ... plus the team cannot connect the English names to the original Italian menu.

    Need to improve hospitality and customer experience for tourists. Waiter made us feel overwhelmed because we didn’t know italian language very well and he had no patience whatsoever with us. Food need to improve as well.

    Very Rude and obnoxious , the desert looked nice but we were denied a table if we didn’t have a main course. It’s 11pm and there were many empty tables . V v poor attitude and service

    5/5 for a wonderful experience, there’s indoor dining and also outdoor dining that has a great view of the water. Staff were also helpful (though not very cheerful as some other reviews hint at…), but most importantly food was excellent. I was turned away rudely by a racist restaurant next door that wanted to hide us, so this place was such a breath of fresh air when they seated us on the outdoor terrace with a beautiful view. We had a starter of rocket, some kind of spinach flan with cheese and tomatoes, followed by two pastas. A vongole, as well as a ravioli stuffed with large chunks of delicious fresh sweet red prawns from the region. Both were absolutely delectable and perfectly cooked. I especially enjoyed the ravioli because it wasn’t too shrimpy despite all the shrimp used and the casing was thin and light. The sauce was wonderful. I would love to come back if I’m ever in Gallipoli again.

    One of the best spots for fish in the south. Loved the food options and service. Well done guys!

    The wine was good, but overall in my humble opinion based on my experience, it was somewhat overpriced given the quality of the food and the lack of hospitality from the staff.

  • 3/5 Kathryn O. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting selection of pizzas on offer. Flavours were interesting but I had the Calzone and the filling to dough ratio was too low and the fritto also had parts that were very chewy. In addition our table was in front of a storage room which the staff had to access a few times during our visit which was a bit disconcerting. What could have been a great experience was only average.

    Stopping through Gallipoli and walked in for lunch. Food was pretty good (we got crudo). A little on the pricey side for other meals in the area. Unfortunately the patio was full (except an uncovered spot in the sun) so we ended up eating in the galleria which didn't have a wonderful ambiance. Good lunch overall.

    We discovered this lovely place by chance and ate here on our last two evenings. The garden are is lovely, the food is delicious and service is great. The staff are warm and friendly with attention to detail. Highly recommend. I just wished we had checked out their places in Gallipoli too.

    Great “fish of the day”. Extremely fresh and delicious. The wine was complementing the dish. Exceptional dining experience. Big plus for having gluten free options

  • 5/5 Emanuele M. 4 years ago on Google
    Exceptional seafood in a great location. If you're willing to pay for the premium, definitely recommended!

  • 3/5 Ana O. 1 year ago on Google
    3 stars tops, but already being generous. While the service was fine, I've paid €28 for a plate of prawns which were so small, that I was hungry after. Also, there's no side dish included. With this price you can have an amazing meal elsewhere. I paid 50+ euros for one person, including the dessert and wine. Watch out.
