Santa Monaca In Gallipoli

Wow! Amazing food, great service, beautiful sunset…..what more could you want? Highly recommend this place.

Delightful restaurant with a wonderful sunset view!

We wanted to try three first courses for two because we weren't sure what to choose. After finishing the first two, we managed to eat the catch of the day au gratin. Everything was very good.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The food is incredibly good and the view is amazing. The prices are outrageous for what you get 😃

A small, quiet terrace with a sea view, very friendly staff, we were delighted with the food from appetizer to dessert. A particular favorite was the "seafood orchids" with a light chickpea sauce – a real gem! The Angus beef ribeye was cooked to perfection.

The food was excellent, the portions generous, and the service very kind and friendly. Definitely a place to recommend.

We had the pleasure of dining at Santa Monaca, and the experience was truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the restaurant's stunning location: the sea view is simply breathtaking and creates a unique atmosphere. Throughout the meal, we enjoyed the pleasant sea breeze, which, even during the hottest hours of the day, made the experience even more relaxing and enjoyable. The cuisine fully met our expectations: beautifully presented dishes, prepared with fresh, quality ingredients, showcasing local flavors without being overbearing. Each course was a perfect balance of flavor, attention to detail, and tradition. Kudos also go to the staff, always friendly, professional, and attentive, making guests feel welcomed and at ease without ever being intrusive. Santa Monaca is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where you can enjoy a complete experience of good food, breathtaking views, and authentic hospitality. It's a lunch we'll fondly remember and will definitely make us return on our next visit to Gallipoli. Highly recommended!

Delicious snacks at sunset by the seawall, great house wine, and lovely people. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here!

A truly unique experience, to say the least. The staff were incredibly kind and always available. As for the food, I think the photos speak for themselves; everything was very fresh. Prices were reasonable for what they served. Absolutely recommended. We'll see you from Gallipoli very soon! ❤️

Absolutely impeccable place!!!I went there for dinner and had a wonderful experience from beginning to end, the seafood dishes are incredibly fresh and very well prepared, especially the seafood pasta, full of flavor and generously served. You can really notice the care and quality in every detail, besides the traditional dishes, the restaurant also offers creative and unique options, so it’s perfect both for people who want to try something different and for those who prefer classic meals, the service was excellent: everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the experience even better, the atmosphere also deserves special mention: everything was very clean, organized, and cozy, made even more special by the amazing location right in front of Purità Beach. Without a doubt one of the best places I visited in Gallipoli!! I would definitely come back!!👏🏽👏🏽
