Our Bulldog was welcome as well. Staff was really friendly and also helpful (lots of choice on their menu). Had two glasses of white wine and ordered some light Rucola/Tomato Bruschetti, oysters, sea urchins and fried shrimp. Bruschetta was nice and crispy, good olive oil. Fresh and crunchy veggies. The seafood was all fresh. Very good oysters, crispy shrimp. The best part were the fantastic sea urchins. We really had a great experience. From the food, to the staff to the location. Great place to have a meal with a view.

AMAZING food!! Alright so this restaurant is located very…read moreclose to the water in a very quaint neighborhood. You turn the corner to find other neat eateries and gelato spots - we didn't know that when we arrived to this spot. All we knew was how hungry we were and how difficult it was to find a restaurant open for lunch. Since it's so close the the water, they have incredible and intricate seafood dishes, which are a bit pricey, but you pay for the experience and the artistry. My husband and I shared our meal to try a little bit of everything. To start of, our server (the owner) is really nice and he's quite a cool guy. His wife is the chef. We ordered mackerel with sun dried tomatoes, and cheese which I didn't care too much about but to be honest I'm not a fan of mackerel- my husband ordered it. I loved my appetizer! Highly recommend the seared octopus over ginger potato soup. What an ingenious combination! My husband ordered the octopus infused gnocchi which was very different because it was cheesy and seafood(y)? at the same time. I really enjoyed our fish. I forgot what type it was but we were given the option to select it and it was deboned and plated beautifully by the owner. Oh, also their limoncello was the best we've had on our trip.

Prices are good compared to the other restaurants around the area. Staff are friendly and efficient. Could do with some background music during the day to liven the place up a little. Would recommend

There are many restaurants in Salento, but this must be one of the best…read more I am not a huge fan of fish, but I really enjoyed both the appetizer (insalata frutti di mare) - Cooked octopus, shrimp and other local seafood served cold tossed in olive oil, lemon and parsley as well as the primo "bavette frutti di mare" (linguine with shellfish sever hot). The house white wine (Bianco Salento) was also top notch. Not too dry (again, I'm not a huge fan of white wine, but this one won me over). Great service, terrific atmosphere in a sleepy little town in Salento (the town of Salve). Make sure to get the "tiramisù al limone" for desert and finish with the "finochietto" (creamy sweet liquor they make with fennel). My wife asked for seconds of the finochietto! They also have many non-fish recipes, but we will have to try those next time. If you are near Gallipoli or Santa Maria di Leuca or Otranto, make the trip - It's worth it!

My wife and I dined at Li Pali this evening and enjoyed a delicious meal…read more Although we were the only diners at 7 PM, as it is still off-season in this beach town in Puglia, the owner/chef was very gracious. The dining room is spacious and beautifully appointed. We ordered a simple meal of insalata mista, Papardelle con fungi and Medallions con funghi. The insalata was abundant with fresh salad greens, thinly sliced carrot, fennel bulb, tomatoes, cucumber and sweet red peppers: much better than the insalata mista typically served in restaurants. It was presented dressed with EVOO and white wine vinegar in a lovely white ceramic "shell" shaped bowl, a more than ample serving for two. The papardelle were deliciously "al dente", in a savory mushroom sauce served on a white ceramic, fish-shaped platter, garnished with fennel fronds, white flower petals and a colorful sea shell. The medallions were tender in a velvety, smooth mushroom sauce served with a side dish of cross-hatch stacked patatine fritte and three polpette di patate. The house red wine was unremarkable but satisfying. We highly recommend this delightful restaurant to all looking for an excellent dining experience at a reasonable price while visiting Salento.
