il Pettolino Gallipoli In Gallipoli

It was a real pleasure to dine at this beautiful sea-view restaurant! The delicious seafood dishes and the very courteous and professional staff made our time wonderful! We'll definitely be back, and hopefully soon...

We had lunch today. The staff were friendly and professional. We ate very well. Everything was seafood-based, with a raw tuna, salmon, and shrimp appetizer; paccheri with abundant, cleaned scorpion fish; and fried calamari and shrimp. We'll be back.

A truly positive experience. The restaurant offers excellent quality dishes, carefully prepared with excellent ingredients. Everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. If you're in the area, it's definitely a place to try. I'll gladly return.

Exceptional place. The food is good. The staff is friendly and professional.

All the food we ordered, as well as the wine, was very good, the price/performance ratio was excellent, and the outdoor table with a sea view was ideal. Completely satisfied!

Tortino di patate con guanciale e gamberi, rucola e pomodorini canditi - 9/10 potatoes were nice and crunchy on outside, cheezy buttery on the inside. Shrimps were good, but a tiny bit overcooked Baccalà mantecato con tarallo pugliese, salsa di peperoni arrosto e zucchine all’aceto - 9/10 lovely little bites that are full of flavor Polpo fritto con stacciatella, pomodorini canditi e polvere di olive celline - 9/10 very good flavors, polpo could have been a little juicier Bottoni di seppia e piselli, maionese al nero e tagliatella affumicata - 10/10 the ink mayo went really really well with the fish Carpaccio di Pesce spada marinato con rucola, pomodorini e fior di cappero - 10/10 probably my favorite dish out of all of them, fresh and balanced Pesce spada alla gallipolina su caponatina mediterranea - 9/10 cooked well but nothing special, flavor-wise Trancio di Salmone scottato con pesto alle mandorle, insalata di carote e sesamo - 10/10 very nicely cooked and great flavors Gamberoni viola - 6/10 lacking any flavor. It's good with a squirt of lemon but for 13€ per 100G I expected more Cicala si mare - 8/10 good flavor when mixed with the pasta, but unfortunately overcooked. Looks impressive when served. Again for 13€ per 100G (this one was 600-700G) I at least expected it to be cooked perfectly. Was able to split the dish between two people. Service was quick and attentive, no complaints there Food came out fast Overall 4/5 stars, but would probably try a different place when returning to the old town

Delicious place for dinner, with a small patio on the water and nice indoor dining room. They serve pizza from La Corte and traditional Puglia seafood dishes, so there is something for everyone. The pasta portions are large and very tasty — we loved the pacchero with swordfish and fried octopus. We sat and watched the sunset while eating a nice paced two course meal.

We were there today with my hiking companion 😍😍. Everything was truly excellent, both the seafood dishes and the presentation of everyone who passed by. A huge THANK YOU to Angelo, who not only always made us happy, but also spoiled us with his courtesy and helpfulness, even sharing some anecdotes with us. Thank you so much ❤️. Simona & Giulia

We went to Il Pettolino and can honestly say we had a true culinary experience. We had pizza and a seafood first course: the pizzas were simply exceptional, thin, light, and incredibly digestible, with top-quality ingredients and an authentic flavor that came through in every bite. The seafood first course was incredible: absolutely fresh, perfectly cooked, and a truly unique balance of flavors. Every bite was a delight. To conclude, an incredible Sicilian cannoli, among the best we've ever tasted. What made everything even more enjoyable was the elegant and welcoming atmosphere, but above all the staff: professional, kind, smiling, always available, and attentive to detail. Small touches that make all the difference, like pouring water or serving the ladies first, demonstrate a rare level of customer care. A truly highly recommended place. We'll definitely be back! I'm only sharing the dessert photo because I didn't have time to take the first courses! 😂 We went to Il Pettolino and can say we had a true culinary experience.

A truly pleasant experience, especially for lovers of raw fish and seafood. The platter was fresh, beautifully presented, and very generous: oysters, shrimp, scampi, and mussels served on ice with lemon, perfect for sharing. The selection of tartare and condiments was also excellent, enhancing the flavor of the fish without overpowering it. Special mention for the deep-sea oysters. The service was friendly and attentive, with just the right amount of time between courses. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, ideal for both a romantic dinner and an evening with friends. Recommended for those seeking a refined seafood dinner with fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. I'll be back soon…….:
