Provo il ristorante di Gallipoli primo in classifica su TripAdvisor😱🤤 Tra i vicoli del centro storico, in una location minimal ed elegante, ho trovato un locale con una scelta molto ampia che spazia tra proposte di mare e di terra (anche veg🤫🥦) Tra gli antipasti ho apprezzato sicuramente il loro crostone con stracciatella e gambero rosso e il loro polo croccante.

Reviews Summary

Il Nuovo Ponticello offers a mixed dining experience. Many praise the stunning sea views and affordable prices, especially for seafood. However, some reviews point to significant issues with slow and disorganized service, and occasional concerns about food quality, particularly with the mussels. Despite these drawbacks, the ambiance and complimentary sorbets are often highlighted as positive aspects.

"(Translated by Google) I really recommend this restaurant. The welcome is great. The staff do everything to serve you as best they can. The plates are well-stocked and the seafood is perfect. I recommend it with my eyes closed.

"Good local food in an easy-going atmosphere. Restaurant is close to the beach which means you can have a lunch/dinner with a view. Nice service, although general amenities a bit dated."

Dani

"Service was really slow, the food had no taste and the fish we ordered was swimming in oil and was so small served with a old salad and a dey lemon, looked like a ready meal from a supermarket (they describe themselves as fish special restaurant)

The drinks we order were served only half of the glass and we had to send it back and ask for a full glass of drink.

Not to mention was super over priced and our bill was over EUR50 and we left hungry and with a stomach ache 🤡"
