We stopped by on our way from Otranto to Monopoli for dinner, due to all the high reviews and was not disappointed! We tried several raw offerings - all of which were delicious and fresh. The pastas were just ok - overly cheesy so you couldn't taste the other ingredients as well. The calamari was way oversalted. Think someone accidently salted it twice! The grilled veggies were good. The restaurant looks very nice but it's not pretentious. read more

The fish tacos were good but the tuna with grilled veggies (green peppers) was not good at all. Not much flavor, and no sauce. The tiramisu was not great either. What was most disappointing though, was that the staff made us feel unwelcome. We quickly paid the bill and had an after-dinner drink elsewhere just to avoid being ignored/snubbed. read more

Visiting Italy, and a city, on a Sunday can be challenging. Though I love the silence, empty streets and the tranquil places around - most shops are closed. Brindisi, although quite large in size, isn't much different. What is lovely about Italy though, is the big family lunches on Sundays - resulting in many good places open on these days. La Locanda Del Porto is located on a path, nearby the beautiful harbour. The restaurant was packed with locals plus some tourists. The latter sitting outside, while locals might prefer inside? Quite odd, but okay. The service was really great. Amazing, actually. They spoke English very well, although I do not expect that, so that's fine if they don't. They did here, so our communication worked better. Food was good. Nothing mindblowing. Do not expect anything above okay. It is decent and I suppose some of the best food in Brindisi - if you are expecting a classic trattoria experience. Missed a higher quality though. They are saying they do seafood very well. They do, but I just do not understand their menu card either saying 'some fish may be frozen'. Seriously guys? No frozen stuff here. Buy in season and rotate your menu. Much more delicious, much more interesting for people. I had a salad with octopus and grana padano. Very good and cheap as well, at only 7€. Having said that, this wasn't much above average. We are talking iceberg lettuce, olives, red onions + the two ingredients mentioned above. Being used to salad places like in Copenhagen, London and New York, this salad falls short. I would gladly return to this place though. I loved the relaxing space and the decent food. read more
