Ristò La Francese In Policoro

Very pleasant evening, in a suggestive location, the fish menu is of great quality. The service is kind and attentive, and Alessio was a great advisor. I highly recommend it

The food lived up to expectations. The menu consists of a few dishes and is on a laminated sheet (I would at least improve this aspect). The location is very suggestive but sad to see how a historical heritage has been cannibalized by numerous commercial activities.

Only by chance we came across this restaurant. Just yesterday we were on the Policoro beach. After a nice swim we got hungry. Looking for a place where even a celiac person could eat, we booked this restaurant. The restaurant is about 10 minutes from the beach and is located inside the courtyard of a castle. So the LOCATION is enchanting and suggestive. The staff attentive and friendly. The menu is not too rich, but I prefer it, especially in fish restaurants: you always hope to enjoy excellent fresh fish. The celiac person was satisfied. I skipped the tasting of the cooked and raw appetizers (which I love very much) and ordered the paccheri with lobster. The lobster was very good: fresh, tasty and plentiful. The paccheri were a little too al dente (the worst for me as a dentist😁) and a little too little (I would add another 4/5). The fried fish on the other hand was excellent: very fresh fish, tender and without a hint of oil. The wine, a rosé, with the right mark-up. Definitely worth trying.
