"we were looking for a square and first dinner and seeing the place so well reviewed we decide to book. being a pizzeria restaurant, we assume that pizzas do it... and instead not. we come to know (because the chef explained it on the phone to others who booked) that pizzas in August do not. They could get it straight with us, too, but it's okay. we decide to make a dinner full of appetizer first and second. We couldn't make any more wrong choice. we arrive at 20:15 and for the first 15 mins do not consider us if not that accompany us to the table, we order at 8:30 and until 22 we manage to eat (so to say) the 4 appetizers we had ordered, also arrived after a 40 minutes. non-excellent appetizers and really minuiiti. a dozen queues of prawn in tempura and a fifteen large fish balls like scales the quail egg in comparison and big to understand) from the cost of 32€!! I ask the waiter if at least the portions of the first are more generous and he replies that they are abundant. What quite opposite, the two spaghetti with clams with 3 forks were finished and the pads with swordfish that had little of a sword. before the first ones arrived, we ask how much is missing since it had been over an hour and the waiter kept saying that they are owing. so endless waiting times not even justified because we were 5 tables that make you pass the appetite, what then happened because while we keep waiting for a huge cockroach from behind my chair climbing on the wall. other customers are also alibited. at that point we ask that we no longer be served the second that among other things was not minimally prepared so we should have waited for another half an hour) at the end for 4 starters 5 first two bottles of water and one of wine make us pay 135€ waiting times really exhausting and prices too exaggerated! not recommended"

"From Ambrosia you will certainly find a wide choice of craft beers, plugs or bottles, but do not forget their delicious and vast pucce. We have already returned twice from the freshness of their ingredients, to try everything! We took the first time three pucce including one with the baked chicken, of which the fry was not heavy and a spicy, with the capocollo of Martina franca, really great and with quality ingredients. Potato chips served hot and removable. Embellished by their products we chose the next evening, to return and try more. Tagliere of meats and cheeses very fresh and faithful to the tradition of Salento, also the mix of fritti has delighted us. Staff available and friendly."

"we stayed in this place to get the good burgers and drink a good beer outdoors. very friendly, kind and prepared staff (garancis risto time racale), then we moved to drink something on the sofas (garanzia ciccio), and finally a not really discounted note. .without saying anything the owner sees our child sleep and moves to turn off the money in the immediate vicinity and when to the meters, at the time of orders, customers known without mask, approaches to remember the safety norms to hold. This made us come back and speak well of a new reality."

"The restaurant is located in front of the Municipio (Town Hall) and has many tables outside. They start serving food at 7:15p, contrary to the other restaurant in the city which start between 8 and 8:30 pm. The staff was very attentino and helpful in choosing our food. We started with a assorted local salami which was delicious. As main course we had Orecchiette (tipical pasta in shape of ears) and Branzino al cartoccio (Seabass). At 8:00 all the lights in the piazza were turned on. The food came quickly and the price was very reasonable."

"We’ve been eating out every night for the past two weeks and this is the restaurant I’m going to remember most. The sleepy village it’s in seems like it wouldn’t have such a gem and literally the other side of the street looks busted and run-down. It’s like an oasis. Tasteful decor, kind and attentive service, if a bit slow at times and so much attention paid to detail. I had a saffron pasta with crunchy bits of mezzacolo that was fantastic a true 10 and a fava puréed with chicory appetizer that was mouthwatering. My only regret was not being able to polish off a bottle of wine because we still had to drive back to Gallipoli. We would go back if they were open to the public for lunch but I think it’s only open for hotel guests. I strongly recommend you check it out. A friend from the area turned me on to it."
