AgriRestaurant CiRitorno Casalabate-LECCE

Friendly staff, amazing sea food and reasonably priced. *****

Good food, we had antipasti, pizza, fritto misto, arrosto misto. Very good wine. Friendly service. Outside seating overlooking the Adriatic

Nice informal place in front of the sea. The food is fresh and good however the service is appalling, nobody seems to know what’s going on and it took one hour between one dish and another because of the mess in the kitchen.

Nice location, nice service, tasty food, good portions. You can enjoy a relaxed dinner , it's a really quiet place. Ah, and they have gluten free options.

Had an excellent lunch at Casalabate (beach town), only Saturday and Sunday with reservation strongly recommended. Fresh seafood, acceptable prices. Have a drink and be prepared to wait and watch the beautiful blue sea and just relax. The three of us enjoyed the experience and will undoubtedly return :)

We went to this restaurant by chance and really enjoyed the food, view and the service. My fish was incredible and raw uny was delicious!!! To try absolutely!

We had here the last dinner of our holiday. I have to say: everything was perfect. The atmosphere, the staff, the food. If I come back to Casalabate Ciritorno sicuramente. (I"ll come back here for sure.)

We were staying in a Masseria near Casalabate and we decided to check on Google what were the best restaurants in the area. This one had a good rating and we thought that with a mean of 4.4, we couldn’t go wrong…well think again! We came first on a Saturday evening where there was no table available (no blaming for that) and decided then to reserve a table for another evening the week after to be sure to have a nice table (at that moment, there was only 1 other reservation made). We were already a bit surprised by the cold greeting made by the boss that day but we could understand since it was a busy evening and the pressure was probably high. Then we came back 2 days later at the day of the reservation where a young waiter received us, we explained him that we had a reservation and he then asked his manager where he should place us. First bad surprise, the boss probably noticed directly that we were tourists and completely ignored us (no hello, not a single word or a smile) and checked with the waiter where they could place us. The restaurant was full but one table was still free (the nicest one with a view on the sea). On the picture it’s the one with an umbrella. But for some reasons they decided to place another side table in the corner of the restaurant, quite far from other tables. We were not happy with our position but still there, we tried to be comprehensive and thought that maybe that other table was also reserved by another couple (it was a table for 2 and we were also a couple) but to our astonishment the table remained free the whole evening until (the best part comes now) the boss took it to eat his dinner there on its own. We will never know for which reasons that table was not given to us; whether it was because we were tourists and they were holding it for potential more important guests or because we are young or because the manager kept him for himself, but in all cases it’s not acceptable. We clearly noticed as well that the way he handled locals vs the way he handled tourists was completely different. For instance, at the end of the evening, he only passed by the tables occupied by Italians while tourists were ignored. When we left, most of the waiters said goodbye but again he ignored us. At the end of the day we pay the same price, we don’t expect favors but at least to feel a minimum welcome. Here you are only tolerated... A rating of 2 stars may seem harsh and honestly I was hesitating with 3 since the food was good and the rest of the staff was nice (including the boss wife) but we didn’t enjoy our evening at all after seeing how we were considered there. We stayed 2 weeks in Puglia area and fortunately we never had that feeling again. To sum up, the food is good, the staff is nice but the restaurant owner is terrible with a very high opinion of himself…You have a doubt? You can simply read how he answers to customers who dare to give a feedback below 4 stars.
