Osteria del Porto is based in Savelletri di Fasano. Here for over 25 years Maria Di Bari and Mimmo Rivizzigno have been offering authentic seafood cuisine linked to the territory, served in a family atmosphere overlooking the marina. At the Osteria del Porto we had a nice experience of fish cuisine in a simple and informal environment. Here we play it safe with crudités and fried foods, with succulently seasoned pastas and with the catch of the day cooked on the grill. You will be looked after with care and attention, which is not at all a given since the place is always, constantly crowded. The location in front of the marina is pleasantly pleasant.
