What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Yellow Scapece offers a stunning dining experience with breathtaking views and a focus on fresh, local seafood. While many praise the ambiance and the quality of the raw fish dishes, some reviewers found certain traditional dishes to be overly vinegary or average in taste, and noted inconsistent service at times. Despite some criticisms, the unique setting and overall quality make it a notable spot in Gallipoli.
"Called in for a meal staff were amazing, we ate in the restaurant which exceeded our expectations, great setting to eat with views of the sea. Loved watching the chef's prepare the food and the best thing was the price. First class restaurant."
Alistair Whitehead
"It was an interesting experience but definitely not repeatable. We felt like ripped off for tasteless fish carpaccio - 6 euros per 100 gr, on plate which we got was max 200 gr. of fish other 500 gr were charged for head of fish and its tale - this is what we were explained when insisted on it. It's really a joke!!!
Very unprofessional and slow staff, 6 of them were mostly chatting and not much caring of guests. Such a pity because of the terrace with a beautiful sea view"
Iryna Dejakova
"A place to avoid, in my opinion.
The food was average / bellow average.
The manager (owner?) is the only person to take orders and to receive payment. The place is big. We waited a lot of time to be able to pay.
Prices are high for the food quality."
