Yesterday, while wandering around Gallipoli, I searched for a restaurant for lunch. I came upon Il Polpo. It was a beautiful spring day and the restaurant was nearly fully booked but they found me a table. Despite being very busy the staff were all friendly and accommodating. There were two dishes I really wanted to taste and knowing that I couldn't really eat both of them, I ordered them anyway. I am so glad I did! I started with Polpette di Polpo (Octopus Meatballs). They were revelatory: perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. I was very surprised with the use of cheese, Pecorino I think, in a seafood dish but the flavors worked really well together. REALLY well. For my next dish, I had ordered Spaghetti alle Vongole (Spaghetti with Clams). A short while later Mario, my waiter, came dashing out of the kitchen to tell me that they had run out of clams and to ask if it would be OK to use mussels. I like mussels even more than clams, so it was an easy sell. The mussels were tiny and very fresh. They had been removed from their shells to make eating easier. I can't explain why but this was THE BEST SPAGHETTI WITH MUSSELS (OR CLAMS FOR THAT MATTER) THAT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! (I went to culinary school in a seaside town in Calabria so I've eaten lots of pasta with seafood.) I am returning to Puglia in July and I will definitely make the trip to Gallipoli to eat at Il Polpo again.

The three deserved stars certainly go to the food, the place and the staff, but the prices are exaggerated. The slice of swordfish without side dish for 25 euros is crazy (I repeat a slice) This is no place for anyone honestly earning minimum wage Personally we won't go again!

It's difficult to choose where to eat when there are so many places one after the other... You rely on luck, your sixth sense. Here we were lucky, location facing the sea, quiet, fished in plain sight, with friendly and helpful managers. In short, they pampered us with their dishes cooked with love, orecchiette with seafood, very fresh grilled fish, turnip greens, a delicacy. And fair prices. Highly recommended!
