The best restaurants Gallipoli

A correct pizzeria if you want to dine on the Galilei lungomare with a glass of Primitivo.

This restaurant has existed for a century and has not changed its location, still on a small island accessed by a bridge. Some people come here by motorboat, which they moor along the terrace. The chef prepares typical local and seafood specialities based on fish with guaranteed freshness. You can choose this one at the counter and ask for the desired method of preparation. Otherwise, the menu offers tempting suggestions, such as raw or cooked antipasti from the sea and pasta with cuttlefish ink and sea urchin cream.

On the walls of Gallipoli, next to the Church of the Purità, there is a sign of high standing well known to all the inhabitants. A traditional cuisine is served here, based exclusively on fish. L'antipasto di mare offers a fine assortment of specialities (raw tuna, octopus salad, marinated anchovies, mussels au gratin). Good seafood pasta, grilled fish and succulent oven-baked scampi in a salt crust, flavoured with parsley and oil. A good fresh white wine from the region will be served with it! Reservation recommended in season.

At the water's edge, Il Bastione is like a boat, surrounded by the sea that comes crashing down at its feet. Opposite, another bastion left free gives an idea of the advance on which the restaurant stands today. The inventive cuisine, based on seafood, is consistent and never pretentious. The marriage of tastes takes place subtly and one is always pleasantly surprised. The waiters are discreet and always keep an eye on your plate. On the wall, Pignatelli's paintings give a surrealist touch to the place.
