Gran Caffe dello Sport In Gallipoli

OUR USUAL ANNUAL APPOINTMENT FOR AN ALMOND SORBET. IT'S NOW A RITUAL THAT'S LASTED FOR YEARS AND YEARS, AND I'VE BEEN ABLE TO NOTE SEVERAL FACTORS THAT HAVE LED ME NOT TO AWARD FULL STARS THIS TIME. 1) THE DROPPING PRICE RISK 2) THE SERVICE INFLUENCES DEPENDING ON WHO I FIND; IF I ORDER 4 SORBETS OR 4 LECCESI COFFEE (for example...) I DON'T FIND IT FAIR THAT THEY DON'T BRING ME (AS HAS ALWAYS BEEN DONE) THE SAME GLASSES OF WATER (even tap water...) WHEN, ON THE CONTRARY, THEY HAVE BEEN BROUGHT NEXT TO MY TABLE... AND I DON'T HAVE TO ASK FOR THEM, BUT THE SERVICE ITSELF SHOULD PROVIDE FOR THEM!!! 3) COMPARED TO OTHER YEARS IN THE PAST, I HAVE ALSO NOTICED A SLIGHT DECLINE IN THE QUALITY OF THIS BAR'S STRONG POINT, SPECIFICALLY THE ALMOND SORBET...

Nice place to have a coffee and some dessert or a brunch. It's located near the entrance of the Gallipoli Castello, in one corner of an early 20th century grand hallway building.

An oasis of tranquility in the hustle and bustle of the historic center. Delicious sorbets, a special cream not to be missed. Beautiful view during the day!

For me, it's a must-see 😃 Their almond and pistachio sorbet with artisanal cream is an explosion of flavor, an ancient taste. The staff are friendly and smiling, and the view is breathtaking.

Bar with a nice view of the Port, located in what looks like a covered market that needs renovation. Useful location for a stop before or after visiting the historic center of Gallipoli. Seating is plentiful.

Great atmosphere in the castle and good cafe

Very good coffee with delicious filled pastries (e.g. with pistachio cream)
