Il Maestrale In Otranto

Next to the sea and away from the crowds of tourists on the square! The focaccia we got was very tasty and the staff was very kind! The canapes are a little uncomfortable.

The smell of a midsummer's day, warm sea and mojito!

If you're around sunset and want to stop for an aperitif, you can't go wrong here; you're in the right place... beautiful and truly chic. The aperitif for two was also super good. I recommend it.

Il Maestrale is probably the bar with the most beautiful location in Otranto, right on the harbor, with the sunset's gorgeous colors. The atmosphere in the evening is very cool, a youthful atmosphere full of young people but also adults with children. The cocktail menu is interesting, as is the wine by the glass; I had a whiskey sour and my girlfriend a glass of rosé. Let's just say my cocktail was average; I wasn't thrilled. I was disappointed that they didn't bring anything with the drink, not even a couple of chips or two olives, all of which were paid for. Coming from the Marche region, in a region very close to Romagna, I don't make these kinds of mistakes. It would take very little to make an evening unforgettable, but instead, these things get lost. Ultimately, a good bar that, with a few more touches, could become a landmark on the Salento Adriatic coast.

Location for sunset is nice. Found our cocktails to be a little watery.

Really nice bar at the waterfront in Otranto. We came here several times for drinks during our vacation. Nice sofas to sit in, lots of stuff to look at, tasty selection of wines. So nice and relaxing!

A wonderful aperitivo spot right on the waterfront. Full views of the castle and the lungomare, this place is it for a calm atmosphere and nice drinks. Friendly and attentive staff who will remember you, and a large selection of drinks. Amazing live band on Sundays.

We had drinks and appertizers with an amazing view!

A very nice location near the sea in the center of Otranto. The drinks aren't bad and the prices aren't excessive. The only flaw is that they don't bring any snacks or food (unless you pay for it at a VERY high price). I'd prefer a higher price but with snacks included. It's a shame because the location is very good, but they're forgiven for something obvious and banal, especially for such a touristy place.

An excellent experience at Maestrale! The place is simply wonderful—an incredible vibe, with a sensational playlist that perfectly set the tone for the late afternoon. We ordered drinks and beer, and everything was perfect: a balanced and tasty drink, and a very cold beer. The appetizer platter for two was delicious, with quality products and excellent presentation. The space is perfect for those who want to enjoy good music, good drinks, and a stunning view of the sunset. The attentive and friendly service is also a highlight. A place definitely worth visiting in Otranto—I highly recommend it!
