Too much money for the service and quality! Only 6 sea urchins, and for this extra 4 euro for bread and couvert.

Got a recommendation from a local to eat here. I don’t know what he considers good food, but this isn’t it. You can get the same stuff from any shack with a frier and Bunsen burner. And there, the service would be better…
If you want to have fresh fish and seafood this is the place! Fishermen get the food and the rest of the family prepare and serve. Fried seafood excellent, Sea urchin excellent, mussels excellent, and the seafood pasta excellent. A place with a nice view...of the sea. Just dont go there if you are in a rush... you need to take time to enjoy the place.More
A Saturday in August is probably not the best day to go to this place - I'll admit - it was very busy and as a result 4 simple pasta dishes took over an hour and a half to arrive. We had had a few...urchins before. The concept is simple and effective - seafood by the sea in a basic open restaurant - but the kitchen cannot cope with the amount of seating available. 'Ricci' or urchins are the specialty, at 70c a piece, with an open shed preparing them beside. If not busy and you can get an outside table, next to the sand and rockpools, I'm sure you'd have a pleasant time. We were sweating inside. Alongside a free patch of beach, a little bit north of Torre Canne.More
Sometimes on holiday you get to experience something new and different that throws you outside your comfort zone but which leaves you all the better for it. We were recommended Ricciolandia and decided to pop in for lunch. This family run business is cheap, cheerful...and for locals - the food is honest and hearty and cooked by someone who is passionate about the fruits of the sea. We'd never tried Ricci before (sea urchins) but they are a local delicacy and so we started with a plate of urchins and bread, with an octopus salad. The urchins were a revelation and we will certainly be having them again on future trips ... but the star of the show was the freshly grilled fish ... utterly delicious 😋 - cooked to perfection it went down beautifully with the cheap local wine served in plastic cups! With a table right next to the beach it was a great experience and we will never forget it.More
Very nice place, right on sea side. Very good grilled octopus and all the other sea food. I had a very nice experience with my family.
Expensive place for cheap quality food. 35 Euro for shame starters and no taste pasta. I will never recommend to nobody
We stayed there today. It was the second time. As for last we found very fresh food and nice staff! All at very reasonable prices! Recommended.
Have never tasted fish like this before. Beautifully fresh and cooked to perfection. A truly incredible meal! We sat right by the beach on a beautiful sunny day and had a lovely time. Hope to return.
So disappointed. We went the previous year and thought they served good food at very reasonable prices. Not so this year. Maybe they thought they could rip off a large group of English families? Well it left a bitter taste and we won't be eating...there again. Big mistake Ricciolandia as we visit Puglia every year and have eaten 2-3 times in this restaurant whilst on holiday. No more.More
Maybe it is too much call it restaurant but if you want real fresh seafood, coming from the sea you are looking at when seating in this unique place, you must go there. Impressing. The price is affordable the service fast enough. Try the spaghetti...ai ricci that means with sea urchins something remarkable. A place where i want to come again, for sure.More
Had an amazingly yummy gamberi risotto & seafood platter with a bottle of prosecco. Excellent location on the beach with beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea.
we came here in august 2013 guided by a friend and it was a rather disappointing experience. we expected to eat a lot for cheap, but instead portions were not that generous, the food itself was greasy, heavy and not that good.
