Bar Alimentari Tabacchi Da Carlo In Otranto

Everything was delicious, we had a great time. Thanks guys.

We stopped for a quick sandwich, as we often do, but ultimately opted for the restaurant. Sandwiches are an institution here, but the restaurant is also excellent! I recommend the grilled calamari, delicious. Congratulations, and see you next time.

There's a specialty shop in the back of the bar. Ordering a cheese and meat platter there is well worth it! Absolutely delicious and generously portioned.

Excellent service. Very fresh produce. A sublime fried fish dish.

A lovely Italian bar with friendly service. You feel right at home, surrounded by locals. There's also a great swimming cove nearby.

Everything you wanted in Italy. Go, get and sit.

An institution in Porto Badisco and, I'd say, throughout Salento. Bars, tobacconists, sandwiches, lunches, aperitifs—a little bit of everything, and all good. All just steps from the sea.

The "old" and the flavor blend in a balance of pure brilliance. An experience of hospitality, flavor, and tradition. Here, goodness and well-being are the absolute rules. An authentic place where history meets flavor impeccably.

I stumbled upon this little gem completely by chance, and it ended up being one of those delightful surprises that instantly elevates your day. The place was bustling with people, clearly a favorite among locals and visitors alike, and after eating there, it was easy to see why. Their made-to-order panini were outstanding—packed with incredibly fresh ingredients and assembled with real care. Each bite felt vibrant, flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. I carried my panini outside and enjoyed it by the sea, taking in the sparkling water and the gentle breeze. With a couple of spritzer drinks in hand, the whole moment felt relaxed, refreshing, and unexpectedly perfect. It was a memorable stop, and without a doubt, a place I’d return to in a heartbeat.

The town of Salentino, the oasis on the road, delicious fish sandwiches, a side of processo, and sitting and watching the Mediterranean are all part of it...
