Caffe Martin In Francavilla fontana

31/10/2025: Beautiful experience, location by the sea... excellent raw fish and first courses, welcoming and knowledgeable staff

07/10/2025: Reading the reviews, I had some doubts, but Albachiara turned out to be an excellent restaurant for its style: a seaside restaurant that maintains its homely feel. Fair value for money. Sometimes I feel like people expect too much and mistake a homely restaurant for a luxury one. Everyone pays a cover charge regardless of their table. The service is good, and the staff are friendly. The thing that worried me most from the reviews was reading that the first course with sea urchins was lacking in sea urchins, but instead it seemed like the right amount and a good first course. The dish could have been a little more generous, but it's certainly not paltry. The mussels with dip and the mussels with grazing are delicious. The raw ham is top-notch. A taste of the artisanal sorbets is highly recommended.
