Matre In Gallipoli

07/01/2025: Visited in 2020: vintage bar to try as an aperitif, they also have passito.... but from Guagnano ;) update 2025: at Carlo's bar they are unique and rare, Andrea the waiter, always smiling and kind, can give you the best advice. The trighetti (pasta like bucatini but with a triangular section) with lupine clams and chopped prawns and toasted walnuts, excellent! As well as all the appetizers from the gratin mussels, to the fried cod and the inevitable broad beans and chicory, even the very fresh fried second course. Then for those who want a nice sandwich by the sea, Carlo's also has a small grocery store in addition to the bar, where you can indulge in various combinations. The catering part, however, can only be enjoyed in winter. In fact, in the summer period you go for an aperitif of land or sea, food shops and bars. There is also a small shop where you can find excellent taralli and typical local products. Don't forget that it is an obligatory stop while doing the Cammino del Salento!

04/01/2025: An excellent refreshment point for passers-by who need to reach Santa Maria di Leuca, the place is located in Porto Badisco, with a breathtaking view.
