IL GAMBERO

The masseria is immersed in nature, surrounded by meadows and olive trees, with the Adriatic Sea as a backdrop. The cuisine draws its inspiration from local recipes and local products, with a predilection for fish and seafood. Among the specialities not to be missed are the linguine di Capo d'Otranto. A quality address for a restful getaway just a stone's throw from Otranto.

VECCHIA OTRANTO
Read moreIn the heart of the historic centre, this rustic restaurant has preserved its vaults and stone walls. Here one does not joke about the quality of the products, and in particular about the freshness of the fish and seafood! The antipasti from the sea are delicious, as well as the pasta dishes (try the linguine with sea urchins). You can also make your choice among the fish of the day, which will be cooked at your convenience. Reservation recommended in season, the establishment is not very big. A sure value for a good quality-price ratio.
POSTOFISSO
Read moreWithout a doubt the best pucceria in Otranto... in Salento, some would say! Just a few steps from the castle, this little place offers delicious pucce (puccia in the singular), these small round breads typical of southern Puglia and which, generously filled with local ingredients, constitute a hearty and truly tasty lunch. You will have to choose between the pucce di mare (the one with octopus is excellent) and the pucce di terra (filled with stracciatella, cold cuts, grilled vegetables). A few craft beers to accompany it all.
