Osteria del Vico In Gallipoli

Osteria del Vico is an absolute treat in Gallipoli. The amazing family run osteria provides some of the freshest fish around! The pastas were phenomenal as was the tuna tartare, cacio e pepe style! The ragna pescatrice was unreal! Federico and his mom were so friendly and welcoming! We can’t wait to visit again. Top quality in Gallipoli!

If you are looking for a typical Osteria in the heart of Gallipoli, Osteria del Vico is the right place. In a small alley in the heart of the Centro Storico di Gallipoli you will find this restaurant with the flair of an osteria. The Osteria is located in an old, beautifully restored building in which the ceiling construction technology typical of the country is beautifully expressed and offers an interesting sight. At the Osteria del Vico we are not in a 5* restaurant, but in an Osteria. And if you consider this aspect, you will find an atmosphere that is inviting. The many tables are harmoniously arranged, not crowded and beautifully set. There are reviews that speak of a “messy entryway”. We have to disagree with this assessment, because we saw the reception table as typical of the country and Osteria. Typical elements of an osteria are simple furnishings and local cuisine. Much more important than a meticulously tidy reception table is the warmth with which the guests are received by both the senior landlady and her son. At this moment you immediately feel comfortable and at home. The Osteria del Vico offers an excellent wine selection. We chose a dry red wine from Puglia. The junior boss is a wine connoisseur and wine lover, because he introduced us to five different red wines from the region at our table and explained to us what sets each wine apart. With this help we were able to enjoy an excellent wine. The menu offers a variety of dishes from delicious pasta to freshly caught fish and seafood to meat dishes. We had dinner at Osteria del Vico twice in November 2024 and we were thrilled by the typical local cuisine. If you love Mediterranean, local and simple, but delicious and tastefully prepared cuisine, we can only recommend this typical Osteria with its warmth. We will spend our retirement in Gallipoli from mid-2025, and we will certainly come to Osteria del Vico again and again, enjoy the food and wine and feel good.

Excellent experience, very good and refined dishes, a very good tuna tartare.

An excellent fish restaurant by the sea. I really appreciated all the dishes ordered, in particular the tuna tartare. The fish is very fresh and the prices are honest
