Trattoria da Pippi In Gallipoli

15/06/2025: Kind of a bar, but not quite — more like a cozy observation deck with cocktails. Draft beer? Just a couple of options, but they do the job. Cocktails, though — plenty, and done right. Perfect spot to sit back, watch the promenade, make up stories about strangers, and pretend you’re a local. The staff? Great people — friendly, easygoing, and always up for a quick chat, even if you don’t speak the same language.

15/06/2025: I have been to this bar in Otranto and I have to say that the location is simply perfect: an incredible view directly on the sea, it is difficult to ask for better to enjoy a moment of relaxation. I had a coffee, really excellent, and the service was kind and fast, another plus point. Unfortunately the crepes (I ordered four) disappointed me a bit: the consistency was too soft and they seemed to be made with too much water, little flavor and little character. The menu as a whole also deserves a refresh: few really interesting options and a bit dated in the presentation. Overall, however, the experience was very pleasant, especially thanks to the view and the atmosphere. I will gladly return, hoping for some improvements on the kitchen side. — 4 full stars.
