Cristal In Massafra

The home of fish. After the sea, of course. Chef Francesco is a true guarantee.

Excellent service and hospitality. The dishes offered are superb. As soon as I can return, I'll repeat the experience.

A high-end restaurant, with quality ingredients, both raw and cooked, dishes constantly updated based on the catch of the day, a well-stocked wine cellar, respect for the ingredients in their preparation, and friendly and helpful service. Thank you, Francesco, and compliments to the staff. A guarantee in the province if you're looking for fresh, well-served fish.

I wasn't familiar with this place. I went there yesterday for lunch. I gave it 5 stars for everything because it deserves it. The dishes, from appetizers to fruit, are not only excellent, but also beautiful to look at. The staff and owner are friendly. I recommend Cristal if you want to eat well!

We were recommended by a friend, and the experience exceeded all expectations! A warm welcome, impeccable service, and great customer service. The appetizers were incredibly generous, unique, and meticulously prepared, even in their presentation. But what really struck me—and moved me—was the complete attention to my celiac son's dietary needs. The person taking the order never hesitated to prepare gluten-free dishes; on the contrary, they were attentive, reassuring, and knowledgeable. This made my son happy... and us too! My sincere compliments to the entire staff. We will definitely be back, and with pleasure!

Good food, attentive and friendly owner, knowledgeable waiter. Prices are a bit high, especially the mussel tubes (€20) and the warm chocolate heart dessert (€8). I recommend trying this restaurant for those who enjoy good food.

On the recommendation of friends, we had the great pleasure of spending an evening here, welcomed and served with professionalism and passion. I'm not a fan of raw fish, but I have to say I couldn't resist trying the shrimp, scampi, and sea urchin, which I must say were special (the other diners were too pleased). We had cooked appetizers, of which we really enjoyed the anchovies, tuna, swordfish, and fried fish. Then the first courses (pasta stuffed with cod, pasta with pistachio and shrimp, and linguine with sea urchin) were truly exquisite. We concluded the dinner with some excellent recommended amari, drank a good local rosé, and left feeling truly satisfied. Highly recommended. The raw materials are of the highest quality, combined with research, tradition, and passion.

Good seafood restaurant, excellent raw seafood, good cooked starters, excellent spaghetti with sea urchins, good desserts, but in particular we must highlight the excellent and attentive service and the helpful and accommodating owner.
