Restaurants in Gallipoli

  1. A

    Scoglio delle Sirene

    With tables out on the ramparts overlooking Purita beach, this restaurant couldn't get much closer to the sea if it tried. The kitchen is devoted to all things marine: mussels with gorgonzola, macaroni with prawns and mint, and great big lobsters that you have to do battle with. The word is, if you can't afford La Puritate, come here instead.

    La Taverna di Giò Peppe Macchia

    Of all the restaurants in the historic centre, Peppe Macchia stands out for its style and originality. Traditional favourites like the seafood antipasti are combined with original recipes mixing fish and vegetables. Try the signature dish, the tagliolini with swordfish and rucola pesto.

  3. Il Giardino Segreto

    Il Giardino Segreto - ‘The Secret Garden’ is just that, with a secluded courtyard out back and tables set around a lemon tree centrepiece. Dishes should suit the fussiest of diners with salads, bruschetta, pasta, meat and fish dishes and a reasonable €15 daily menu.

    La Puritate

    A great place for fish in the old town of Gallipoli with picture windows and sea views. Follow the excellent antipasti with delicious primi (first courses) such as seafood spaghetti, then see what’s been caught that day – the swordfish is usually a good bet.

    Da Olga

    A big rowdy restaurant near the train station, well known for its good prices, large portions and tasty frittura (mixed fried fish). It's a no-fuss dining room with an open kitchen and in summer there is outdoor seating.

    Pane, Olio e Fantasia

    If you're all fished out try the very good Pane, Olio e Fantasia. It can look very empty but that's no reflection on the food, it just shows how fish-mad this town is.

    Caffè Duomo

    For good Gallipoli spumone, go to Caffè Duomo, where you can also get good ice cream.
