Gelateria del Fico In Otranto

After walking along Otranto’s old town and soaking up the marina views, we stumbled into Gelateria del Fico and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the day. I ordered stracciatella and ricotta, a pairing that completely redefined gelato for me. The stracciatella had a silky vanilla base laced with delicate shards of chocolate that melted on the tongue. The ricotta was incredible: luxuriously creamy, with a natural sweetness and a gentle tang, like cheesecake in frozen form. Together, the flavors balanced richness with freshness, decadent yet refreshing and not too sweet. This is more than just a quick stop! It’s a place that captures the essence of Salento with artisanal quality and flavors that are memorable. Highly recommended if you’re anywhere near Otranto.

Delicious ice cream good prices!

Taste ok but texture is not that good as it melts down too fast. Do not get big option as it is too big to control

Delicious gelato and granita, very helpful and polite staff. The location of this gelateria is wonderful, with one of the best views in Otranto. If you're passing through Salento, you absolutely must visit!

Excellent ice cream and very kind people. I recommend it 👍

Favorite mango, great taste in combination with chocolate.

Delicious ice cream, fast and friendly service!

Delicious ice cream! Truly unique basil flavor.

The ice cream is delicious, well done! The price is a little higher than the local average, and the size is decent, not like the stingy ones in the big cities. The quality is high.

The best ice cream in the world!!!!!
