Larilò In Nardò

It's like getting ripped off for €50-70 per person unless you opt for the meatballs entree. The price range is definitely not €20-30, not even for pasta with meatballs! Basic bistro atmosphere, with bistro dishes, so the portions are small. Presentation: nothing special. Good dishes, made with just a few, definitely high-quality ingredients and pre-cooked, making everything simple, easy to assemble, and easy to take out (if you let the food breathe between courses... thanks), so they absolutely don't justify an appetizer over €15 or a basic fish entree for €20. The super-polite owner offers gin and tonic regardless of the dishes, as he has his own line... the gin and tonic is served in small, narrow tumblers with three large ice cubes, something I've never seen anywhere else. More than anything else, the quantity of drinks is almost nothing... not to mention the difficulty in drinking them. Service: young, inexperienced staff. If the prices had been lower or there had been more attention to quantity-to-presentation ratio, I would have given it a 4 or 5 star rating. For €60 a head, there are plenty of places to eat with a more adequate quality-service-quantity ratio. Although between Santa Caterina and Santa Maria al Bagno, there's probably no one quite up to par.

Nice and intimate atmosphere. Delicious Parmigiana.

Larilò is a very cozy little restaurant in Santa Caterina. The owner is a wonderful host, very patient and friendly. We went with family and friends for dinner. The menu is primarily seafood-based. We opted for pasta with fish and marinated tuna, and the kids had pasta with tomato sauce. Everything was delicious. I recommend it.

A pleasant discovery... quality and care accompanied by a magical atmosphere!

A welcoming and intimate place. Just a few tables, which I think is just right for a place like this. The menu is sophisticated and delicious, the food excellent, and the staff truly friendly and helpful.

I've had meatballs at other places, but never have they been this good with sauce! I admit, I'm a fan of large portions, and here there's no such thing as a "just the right portion" policy—one leads to another, but the taste of the sauce and the meatballs is worth it. Truly. I think the rest is also excellent.

We went with the whole family three nights ago, and I have to say I was wonderfully surprised: the place is small, with just a few tables, but the quality was excellent in every way: the food, the service, and the staff's courtesy. Compliments at the end of the dinner seemed like the least I could do. Thank you so much, and see you next time, for sure!

Incredible little restaurant, with fresh seasonal produce. The owner is very friendly. I 100% recommend it if you want to try dishes made with typical Italian products.

Marco is a really nice guy, very welcoming place, excellent food, very well-prepared dishes, beautiful view... Excellent gin and tonic of our own production

Heerlijk gegeten, zeer aardige mensen. Verse vis van locale vissers. Originele keuken, je zit heel gezellig aan de haven.
