Hands-down the best restaurant in Nardò!!! They make the best pizza ever, but it is only available in the off-season (i.e. not in summer). However, they are more well-known for their seafood, which they always offer, and they also have delicious pasta options and grilled veggies, so vegetarians will certainly be able to be satisfied, too.
