Oste Locanda Marinara — Restaurant in Otranto

In summary I wouldn't recommend eating here. We have been travelling through Italy for 5 weeks now and eaten out every night with a bottle of wine. It all went down hill after the house wine was served. We were wary to order a bottle as there was no wine menu and only the waiter to suggest. The by glass were not good at all and 6 euros. Worst wine we have had to date including by the glass in takeaway places. As per previous reviews the portions are small for the price in comparison to other restaurants. This was our 3rd night eating out in Otranto. The first 2 dinners in the old town were great. Further the food was not well presented and bland. Fish was overcooked. Yes we still ate it because we were hungry but went else where...

Friendly staff, and nice food. Price is out off range though. I paid 20 euro for a pasta with clams and saffrane. I expected a lot but got a blah plate of pasta with too dente cooked pasta (not fresh made I think). When I confronted the ober he asked if we would like to see the menu to order another dish.... First courses were oke but not enough to make us leave feeling happy. My husband had the tuna, that was a very nice dish, but also overpriced for 18 euro considering we ordered the same dish in other restaurants for 16 euro. Will never come back, there are way better places to eat in Otranto for more...

Very over priced with very small portions. I had the pasta vongole - the class were shelled - i thought they were small slices of mushroom as they were so flat and tasteless. Bar the occasional bit of grit they tasted of nothing. The sauce was nice but the class should have been the main part. We also ordered potatoes - what came out was the tiniest portion and was expensive. All of the positions were tiny and we came away hungry. The only saving thing was the bread served with tomato dip it was delicious...
