“ Great experience at Retrigusto Restaurant. The dishes were well presented, and the seafood was fresh and delicious. I particularly loved the dish of the day, pasta with dentice, and the seafood salad. Everything was complemented by a bottle of white wine. My friends ordered a risotto al nero di seppia, which was equally good. The restaurant is 200 meters away from a parking area and a 5-minute walk from the historical center of Otranto. Highly recommended! ”
