Cristal In Massafra

Simple restaurant. Fish-based menu. Friendly owner and very knowledgeable waiters. In my opinion the prices are a bit expensive.

Hands down, the best fish restaurant in the area. Here you will also find a mythological figure, who has disappeared today: The innkeeper, his name is Francesco and he will make you feel at home

The quality of the Cristal Restaurant and the service are of an excellent level. Congratulations to Mr. Frank

Modern and comfortable restaurant, friendly, helpful and professional staff. We ate the raw one which delighted our palate, excellent quality. Below are the starters, special dishes with very interesting combinations, also satisfied with these dishes. A special greeting to Franco, an excellent host who makes you feel pampered and entertains you with his shows, always very professional but very friendly. I would give the waiters a solid 10, they're good. We will be back for sure.

Very fresh fish.....everything excellent from the starter to the wine to the bitters...it doesn't get better.

This excellent fish restaurant in Massafra is a real surprise. I honestly didn't expect it Excellent service with a "welcome" of scampi blanched in ice, followed by "cooked" seafood. Great variety and excellent quality. My first choice was linguine with lemon and scampi and I was far from disappointed, my friends opted for linguine with sea urchins. We stopped here Only flaw. It's true that you pay for quality but... Without wine €90 per person is a bit disproportionate

We were welcomed very well and were immediately served fabulous sea urchins. The raw fish is absolutely wonderful in terms of the quality of the fish, although the assortment could be improved, but it is still the best I have eaten in the whole area, the Norway lobster, the oyster and the red prawn on scudi. The hot starters were decent, but didn't impress me. The sea bream we ate as a second course was of medium-high quality, cooked in an excellent manner and proved to be wonderful on the palate. The service in its entirety was commendable, precise, punctual and courteous. Let's get to the sore points: I didn't appreciate the fact that we weren't provided with a menu or wine list. Despite having learned in the end that they had other labels, what was shown to us in the initial choice was very little so we opted for a local wine which turned out to be very mediocre, for goodness sake we drank 4 bottles in 4, but the level was low and certainly 25 euros is a monstrous price for a product that I cannot help but define as poor. Even the first courses turned out to be expensive in my opinion, I couldn't define my risotto as sufficient and my friends' pastas, which they told me were good, but in any case a gurnard ragù, for the area, is expensive at 25 euros. Let the reader not be deceived by these criticisms, my opinion still remains high because overall the positive things are much more than the negative ones, but which I have underlined as not exactly negligible, I hope that my criticism of those specific situations is intended to what it is, that is, an invitation to improve in a situation that is already enormously appreciated. Definitely a place to return to and highly recommend. Finally, a huge thank you for the kindness they offered us, giving us a wonderful evening with friends.

It is superfluous to remember, I returned, always at 🔝🔝🔝.... Quality always at very high levels. The excellence...... Of TOP excellence!!!!!...... What can I say, coming back here is always a pleasure, Space dishes,

Never more favorable hotelier's advice! The entertaining tarallini cooked in a wood oven and handmade!!! A triumph of raw seafood, first and second courses of fish that made you dream of the sea with every bite! To return!
