Controvento In Melendugno

Excellent cuisine, good service, kindness and education

excellent food and very kind staff

It's not a fancy place, so I give it a 4S for the atmosphere. Dinner included fish-based first courses and mussels with pepper, all exceptional. The staff's courtesy deserves an A+. I finally found a great Psulaner beer on tap; I hate bottled beers. Well done, I recommend it.

Family of 3 toddlers on a road trip in Italy, food is our budget. 1st bill logically for 52€ (3 pasta dishes, 2 frittons and a bottle of water, surprise bitter on the bill, a copperta of 10€ or 20% of the bill, too bad we will deprive ourselves of ice cream

Trattoria and pizzeria located on the San Foca seafront. The food is good and the prices are average. The fried fish and seafood sagne ncannulate are excellent, and the lobster troccolo is also good. It's a shame about the seafood salad; I think it lacked a little too much vinegar. Definitely worth a try.

everything was fantastic, very friendly staff and excellent food with a beautiful view

Unsurpassed lunch, diligent and impeccable staff. Perfect.

exquisite lunch, equally delicious staff, top quality/price ratio.

We went for lunch at a restaurant right on the San Foca waterfront. The owner was very friendly and explained the menu to us, as well as the special of the day. Sagne ai frutti di mare🥰... Delicious.... As was the roasted cuttlefish. Two first courses, a smile, a chat, a good coffee, water, and table service.... We really paid the right price. Oh, and the family-run restaurant offers freshly cooked products and sagne that are truly worth trying... Seeing is believing.

Review: Controvento Restaurant – An Experience to Remember in San Foca We had the pleasure of dining at Controvento Restaurant in San Foca in June 2025 and were absolutely enchanted. For a couple looking for a special evening, this venue is an excellent choice that exceeds all expectations. The atmosphere is what strikes you immediately: elegant but not pretentious, with an attention to detail that creates an intimate and romantic environment. The view, especially at sunset, is simply spectacular and adds a magical touch to the entire dining experience. The menu is a hymn to the freshness and quality of the sea. Every dish we tasted was a demonstration of mastery and passion. We started with a warm seafood salad, rich in flavors and textures, followed by a creamy and tasty seafood risotto, and a perfectly seared tuna steak. The presentation of the dishes is very careful, almost like small works of art. The wine selection is wide and well curated, offering excellent pairings for each course. The service deserves a special mention. The staff is extremely professional, attentive and friendly, always ready to advise and satisfy every need with a smile. We felt pampered throughout the evening. In conclusion, the Controvento Restaurant is not just a place to eat, but a complete sensory experience. It is the ideal place for a romantic dinner, an anniversary or simply to treat yourself to a moment of pure gastronomic pleasure. We highly recommend it and can't wait to return! 🙋‍♂️👌😉 Ennio & Sonja
