L'isola Del Gusto In Lesina

18/09/2024: 17 September 2024. Peschici in the pouring rain has its charm but with a 2 year old child and a stroller between stairs and umbrellas the only ray of sunshine was the La Torretta restaurant which welcomed us at 11.45am (opening on purpose for us) to give us shelter. The owner could have been that aunt or grandmother who, happy to see you, begins to offer you every whim from her pantry. Obviously after such a kind welcome we willingly stopped for lunch. The menu, seasonal and based only on fresh products, was affected by the low season and the very few tourists (we were the only ones in the restaurant) but the cod and homemade macaroni served with the fish were a pleasant surprise. The place is a little dated, but nevertheless characteristic as a whole. Sea view and super welcoming service. Recommended for a pleasant family lunch at a reasonable price. Ps: the owner's mandarinetto (offered) is a delight!

14/09/2024: Very good food, delicious dishes, excellent dessert and freshly made pasta. The best troccoli with clams I've ever eaten. Mrs. Rita is extremely kind, as is the staff. The only sore point is that, stopping to pamper each customer in part, the service is rather slow and sometimes you have to repeat part of the order several times. But when you are in excellent company, this takes second place and you can enjoy yourself more with pleasant chats while admiring the stupendous panorama from the terrace.
