Unfortunately, I'm forced to write a negative review for this restaurant, of which we had high expectations.
Let's start with the arrival, the table booked for 9pm, wasn't ready yet, so we waited a quarter of an hour standing... okay, there were a lot of people, we didn't give it too much thought, it can happen... once we ordered (I had salted fish) we waited almost an hour before dinner, okay, salted fish isn't a preparation that takes 20 minutes but usually not even an hour... or rather, if we had been informed when ordering, we would have maybe had an appetizer, since our only dish was that and another second course... but the worst thing was the cleaning of the fish, done by a totally inexperienced guy, who among other things stopped every 2 minutes to adjust his glasses (which he then decided to take off) and even gave a good cough into his hand with which he then calmly resumed cleaning my fish... which, once he finished deboning, weighed 500g. It was supposed to be, I must have been served half, the rest was left on the waiter's plate...
A real shame because it was very good, as was the slice of meat my boyfriend had. After finishing dinner, another 20 minutes went by, but we were completely ignored by everyone, so even though we would have loved dessert, we decided to get up and go pay, risking dessert becoming breakfast 😅
The guy at the house, I'd say the owner, asked us how it went, we listed all the problems of our evening, and at least he gave us a discount and apologized.
A real shame because the food was excellent, the location beautiful (enviable), but the service, unfortunately, was truly awful...!!

**This is a place where tourists are ripped off. Look for another alternative in the streets next door. We won't be returning to this place.

A very, very beautiful place: the terrace overlooking the Gallipoli port is quaint and very romantic.
The food is truly excellent: fresh, high-quality fish.
The wine list is good, although I would expand it a bit with a few higher-end labels.
A special mention for the service: friendly, attentive, and professional staff.
A downside is the bathroom (dirty and poorly maintained) shared with the bar downstairs.

Durante la nostra visita a Gallipoli abbiamo deciso di cenare al ristorante Scapece un locale carino situato al secondo piano di un vecchio edificio nel centro storico.Abbiamo gradito la cena,l'unica cosa negativa che abbiamo constatato è il fatto che la mattina nonostante ci fossimo recati sul posto per prenotare un tavolo vista mare accordatoci dall'adetto alle prenotazioni, la sera quando ci siamo recati per la cena,il tavolo era occupato e siamo stati costretti ad accontentarci di un tavolo che non avevamo prenotato.
