Bar Alimentari Tabacchi Da Carlo In Otranto

Not very fancy, all quite old fashioned, and just a few meters from a beautiful sea view

Best bar ever. Definitely eat, drink and stay here. See you again.

Nice place for drink, coffee food. Necessary stop before or after the sea next door

Bar with excellent quality gastronomy... also does take-away sandwiches

Wonderful food. Ate fantastic aubergine parmigiana, delicious local cheeses, wonderful octopus and potatoes, delicious local beer. The prices are exceptional for the quality of the products. Never paid so little for a fantastic dinner. Kindness and hospitality accompanied the fantastic dinner. Thank you!

Excellent historic food bar. The sandwich was excellent but the food also looked very good. Next time we will try the cuisine. Prices are normal.

One of those places where time has stopped… in the good sense of the thing, considering the current speed of life! One of those places where you spend very little and eat amazing local food. One of those places where Luana prepares you the best sandwich with black angus, stracciatella, rocket, spicy and crumbled tarallo. But what do I tell you to do...all you have to do is try!

Locale storico, atmosfera bellissima e nostalgica. Peccato la poca disponibilità dello staff. Alimentari chiusi, quindi non posso dare giudizio.

Wie cool, zufällig vorbeigekommen, viele Leute gesehen, Stop gemacht, gute Stimmung, sehr nette Bedienung, vier Campari Soda mit Knabbereien zehn Euro 🤩 Wir kommen definitiv wieder.
