Porta D'oriente - OTRANTO

May 21 Our guide Elenya found this touristy resto on the waterfront. Instead of eating on the terrazza we chose to eat in the dining room upstairs. From the balcony the view of the marina was mesmerizing. We were given only 1H to eat. We eat had the pasta with fruitti mare 32E. The dish was plentiful and tasty. We thanked the owner lady for the lunch. As we left the entry we saw that the terrazza was very busy with diners.

Originally went here to get out of a freak thunderstorm. Staff were very friendly and the seafood was of an average standard. caters for the tourist.

Very average tourist restaurant, and we were tricked into ordering the grilled red prawns which gave us a nasty surprise when the bill appeared. Best avoided.

Looked fine for Sunday lunch with lots of locals. Linguini with clams was greasy and horrible, with four nasty tasting clams. Best avoided. Swordfish passable.

We where looking for a place to have a good pastalunch. And we got it! Try one of their dishes with homemade Orichietti, delicious! Additional you’ll have the sea as a beautiful view.
