Il Brigantino In Francavilla al mare

Excellent service, chaotic environment

The fish products used gave the impression of being fresh, what disappointed me were the sauces which seem to have been taken from the jar, heated and added to the dishes. Then honestly three first courses, two starters, a skimpy second course, a quarter of wine, two coffees, a bitter, 127 euros, seems seriously exaggerated to me, despite the sweetness, professionalism and courtesy of those who served us at the table. The Diabolik mussels, I'm not saying they were disgusting but it was close, there wasn't a mussel that wasn't stuck to the shell almost as if to say we've been here for days, dry and dry so I paid for a dish that didn't do you justice. Not recommended.

The place is very nice and conveys reliability and warmth but it would also be nice to give it a "update" on some things, as I recommend, but very enveloping and pleasant. We took an appetizer of 9 tastings consisting of a cold dish (marinated anchovies, marinated salmon, seafood salad, a fish fillet with excellent Lucanian crusco pepper) then as hot stuffed mussels, a scampi, a stuffed razor clam and tuna Sicilian style. All very tasty, pleasant and I would like to underline the great quality and freshness of the fish. Then we ordered the mussels diabolik, that is, things poached in tomato with chilli, very tasty but the mussels were a little dry and the tomato seemed to have been undercooked... everything would have been better if the mussels had been meatier and perhaps the tastier and cooked sauce. The bread that was offered to us was of great quality and of different types and therefore also pleasant when tasting the different dishes. For first courses we took: the gnocchi with prawns and clams, exceptional, the same thing for the paccheri, prawns, scampi, olives etc. which were also perfect both in flavor and in cooking and then the rigatoni with scampi and prawns and here too the problem is always the sauce was, as if it were undercooked. As for the octopus, it was certainly delicious but we were disappointed because at least two tentacles must be inserted... one tentacle is really small. We also really appreciated the freshly grilled vegetables, the truly courteous and precise service, in short, an excellent restaurant with a little something to fix but we will definitely return.

I went for a takeaway and had a fry and a roast - they were simply extraordinary!!!; I didn't opt ​​for five stars, because the baked potatoes weren't up to par with the other two courses! otherwise, even the "Food" would have deserved 5 stars😊😊😊

If you want to eat top fish you absolutely have to go there.

Nice place, kind staff and beautiful and tasty dishes 😅🥰💯🔝👏

Siamo stati a mangiare qui a pranzo a inizio settembre. Il mangiare era buonissimo ( abbiamo preso il primo speciale e un fritto). Voglio citare il personale stupendo e soprattutto l’olio di livello altissimo servito a tavola.

.nn ho nulla da aggiungere alle stelle...tutto top😉.

Locale molto piacevole con servizio attento e cordiale. Abbiamo pranzato con una tartare di tonno come antipasto divisa in due, per me chitarrina allo scoglio notevole, mio marito ha preso il filetto di rombo con i porcini, e per chiudere ho preso il parrozzo gelato con il liquore Aurum, davvero interessante. Ottimo cestino del pane di diversi tipi

Un locale storico, classico ed elegante ristorante di pesce in una località di mare. Professionali e gentili. Tutto di ottima qualità. Prezzo giusto. Lo consiglio vivamente, ci torno sempre volentieri.
