Mercato del Pesce In Melendugno

Superlative fish sandwiches, now our regular stop during our Salento holidays. Unbeatable value for money.

Excellent food and excellent service The staff is attentive to every need and friendly The terrace is stunning, I recommend it I will definitely be back

The best seafood restaurant in Torre dell'Orso. We dined there two nights, enjoying both the main courses and the sandwiches. The fish is incredibly fresh, especially the raw fish. The fresh combinations showcase the ingredients, without too many unnecessary condiments. The "Veli di seppia" dish is exquisite. Both the terrace and the "little garden" in front of the restaurant are worth a visit, offering a very relaxing atmosphere.

Super. What are we talking about... A mind-blowing sandwich with an incomparable fried calamari and stracciatella cheese like there's no tomorrow. A wonderful discovery at Torre dell'Orso.

A truly excellent dinner! After several appetizers, including - Squid Veils with fennel cream, orange zest, and crispy tentacles, - Marinated Tuna Sashimi, - Octopus Meatballs, and - Crispy Roll, I ordered the "Tuna Sandwich" with tuna tartare, burrata, arugula, crispy Martina Franca capocollo, tomatoes, toasted almonds, ginger mayonnaise, and fig vincotto glaze... and I was speechless. An explosion of flavors, with the freshest ingredients and perfectly crafted pairings. One of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten, so much so that it deserves far more than 5 stars! My only regret is that I didn't get to compliment the owner, Paolo, directly. We ran into him at the exit and started talking about something completely different, so I completely forgot to tell him how much we enjoyed the dinner. My only regret is that I offer my sincere compliments to Paolo and the entire staff! You can sense the passion, the quality of the ingredients, and the attention to every detail. If you're passing through Torre dell'Orso, the Fish Market is a must-see. We'll definitely be back!

We discovered this seafood restaurant in Torre dell'Orso by chance. We were drawn in by the menu and the recently renovated ambiance. Live lobsters are displayed in the on-site aquarium. The restaurant is meticulously clean and the staff are friendly. The fresh seafood tagliolini and the pittule with shrimp and zucchini are truly excellent. The paccheri with grouper ragù, however, weren't quite up to par. Overall, a positive review.

A very warm welcome, the staff are very friendly and the food is delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection (rare) and incredibly flavorful!

We returned on vacation to Torre dell'Orso and, for the umpteenth time, we ate delicious seafood at our favorite restaurant in Torre dell'Orso, which we've watched transform and grow over the years. A fantastic delight! Four of us, my husband, and the kids ate here. We enjoyed the superb polpo di fulmine sandwich, the fried calamari sandwich, the linguine with tuna tartare and stracciatella, and the paccheri with fish sauce. This restaurant uses the freshest, highest-quality ingredients; the dishes are generous and, in our opinion, a good value. This year, the location has been expanded and modernized. The wait staff are attentive and very friendly. The restaurant owners are committed to offering their customers professionalism and quality. For this reason, we recommend it to all our friends and will return again. Excellent!!!

The place is beautiful, with a sea view. I recommend the seafood sandwiches, which are very filling and amazing. The service is impeccable and when there are people it's very fast.

Simply excellent experience...very kind staff and 10 out of 10 food...like everyone else, I recommend the tuna in a crust...it's something exceptional, I've never tried tuna this good!
