Ristorante Pizzeria Azzurra 1986 — Restaurant in Ugento

Ristorante Pizzeria Azzurra in Torre San Giovanni is a true gem! This upscale restaurant, perfectly situated on the beachside, offers an exquisite dining experience. The ambiance is exceptional, with a beautifully decorated space that combines elegance with a relaxed beachside vibe. The outdoor patio is a fantastic spot to enjoy the fresh sea breeze, and the interior is just as impressive.

The food here is nothing short of amazing. I ordered the gluten-free Napoli pizza, and it exceeded all expectations—perfectly crafted and bursting with flavor. The fresh grilled fish was also a highlight, incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection.

The service was top-notch and impressively fast, with special mention to our waiter, Vicenzo, who made the experience even better with his attentive service. The wine selection is outstanding, and the local Primitivo wine we tried was one of the best we've ever had.

Overall, Ristorante Pizzeria Azzurra is a fantastic place to enjoy delicious food and drink right by the beach. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable...

The bill came to € 165 including a nice bottle of red wine, 2 aperol spritz, 3 minerals, 2 bottles of water, 2 anti pasta chips . With 5 adults all having mains and 3 desserts. It was delicious and I will...

We went here on the recommendation of a friend. Both pizza and drinks were tasty and ok. But what was unpleasant is the service. The fact that there can be a language barrier is understandable, but the fact that the staff was not willing to even try to communicate in any way other than Italian and with the expression that they allowed us to be there and now we have to try did not please me (also that they have automatic tips, otherwise they would maybe there wasn't any). The menu scanned with a QR code is practical, but also only in Italian and not completely clear, because some names are written non-standardly and the translator cannot deal with them correctly, and the staff does not give you much advice. I'll probably choose a different...
