Al rifugio di Capitan Morgan In Melendugno

A must-visit if you're in Salento. The atmosphere is informal, the service is good, but the food is excellent, whether it's raw, fried, or grilled. Great prices, I come back every year. It's even worth the 40-minute drive just for Capitan Morgan.

How can it be that plastic tableware is still being used these days? And in a restaurant, no less! We were appalled and thought it was a joke when the waiter brought us a bottle of water and two plastic cups. Then came the cutlery, also plastic, wrapped in plastic film 😳 And then the food, guess what? On plastic plates? What's going on? Too lazy to wash them? And all this with a direct view of the sea. One can only hope that none of it ends up in the ocean. The food was alright, but it would have been much nicer served on porcelain plates. The waiters could have smiled a bit more, and walking around the restaurant with their arms crossed doesn't exactly make a good impression.

Delicious fish and shellfish dishes. Simple but efficient service (disposable cutlery). Fast service.

Excellent fryer, helpful staff!!

The restaurant is very well located! The food is decent for the price. It's a shame the wine is served in plastic cups; it's environmentally friendly, so we'll come back.

Very fresh fish, cooked very well!!!!

Stubborn, no smiles. The fish was deliciously fresh. Everything was served on plastic, all disposable. A shame.

very fresh fish, simple atmosphere, very friendly

Lunch for three at a seafood restaurant right on the beach, with a beautiful sea view. Simple, well-kept restaurant, excellent location. Our table orders Tasty mussels. Well-seasoned tomato frisella. Grilled stuffed cuttlefish, cooked to perfection. Mixed fried fish with calamari, shrimp, and mixed seafood, dry and crispy. Appropriate portions. Good value for money. Service At first, they served us bread that wasn't particularly fresh. After reporting it, it was immediately replaced by a very kind lady. The staff was friendly and attentive. Negative note We were given plastic glasses for the wine, and the plates were also plastic. The selection doesn't match the quality of the cuisine and isn't very eco-friendly. Conclusion A successful lunch with excellent flavors in a location overlooking the sea. We would gladly return. Recommended for a relaxed lunch on the beach.

You can't leave without stopping for lunch or dinner at this seaside restaurant. The food is good and the atmosphere is pleasant, thanks to the charming atmosphere. The staff is fast and friendly.
