Carpe Diem

It was a pleasant surprise to discover this little restaurant directly overlooking the beach in Torre Mileto... we ordered their seafood appetizer (raw and cooked). I can't recommend it enough; the photos speak for themselves! I recommend making a reservation as it seats only a few people, about 30... kudos to the entire staff!

A wonderful discovery!!!! A lunch I'll never forget, and I'll be back very soon! Gabriele, the owner, was incredibly welcoming, and his daughter, Francesca, a highly skilled chef! The raw and cooked seafood is second to none, and if a Salento native who's used to eating the freshest fish always tells you this, believe it. Congratulations! Thank you so much, everything was superb. Highly recommended! The best...

We had lunch at this restaurant in this unusual place. We arrived a few minutes before the scheduled time and the owner, very kind, offered us a prosecco on the veranda. We ate a "sea storm" a generous mix of raw and cooked appetizers, carpaccio, fried fish, and every good thing. We had a bottle of wine, a dessert, two coffees and two bitters. We spent 125 euros (the prosecco offered) the quality/price ratio is correct. The food was truly excellent. One thing I really liked was that every now and then the chef would appear in the room, like a hostess making sure her guests are okay. We will definitely be back, you need to book.

Closing dinner for summer holidays... what can I say... WONDERFULLY GOOD! €45 for the array of super-deserved appetizers... very fresh and well-presented raw food Perfect marinade Everything perfect and tasty. Well-kept location, small but really nice, close to the beach A pleasure as always to taste your dishes. Impeccable service. Thank you, keep it up! See you next year..

Excellent place, all in all... the chef, aka the Chief, is hilarious and finely ironic, as well as a great cook; the Chief's wife, aka the Head, has an initially prickly frown, but then completely loosens up, becoming helpful and sweet towards the customers... it's one of her characteristics!... the service staff are prompt and helpful, to the point of walking (themselves) towards the parking lot, with the only flaw being the language, which they are learning...🌟

When the fish is not fresh but very fresh you can taste it. If you then add the skill of knowing how to cook it, touching points of the palate never dared, there you have it. At Carpe Diem you go for sure, everything is exquisitely good, while you are in front of the sea and opposite the Tremiti Islands

A small, excellent fish restaurant right on the beach. It overlooks the beach, the sea, and the Tremiti Islands visible on the horizon. Fresh sea air flows through the open windows. Excellent fish and seafood. Very tasty. If the dishes take a little while to prepare, that's because everything is freshly prepared. We had a mixed fish platter. Highly recommended!

Excellent food, fresh fish and perfect combinations, you eat by the sea in a spartan environment with good prices in relation to the quality, go there if you want to eat well and fresh. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We were looking for a place to have lunch after 7 hours of travel and stopped here, without a reservation. The restaurant was full but the very kind lady offered us a table that we would have to vacate within 1h30. Perfect for us!! We ate divinely!! Spectacular first courses. Small place, a wedding favor, super attention to detail. Well done!

Welcoming and well-kept place, very attentive and friendly staff. I was passing by, had heard about it, and stopped in—a great choice 🔝🔝

The welcome was warm and the food fresh and tasty, with high-quality fish both raw and cooked. We visited in November, when it's hard to find a quality seafood restaurant open in Gargano. We haven't even gotten to the checkout yet, but reading the other reviews, we should expect a hefty bill, which we'll be happy to pay considering how much we enjoyed our stay! Congratulations!

I never imagined I'd eat so well, sitting comfortably in a small but delightful restaurant overlooking the sea and the Tremiti Islands. Kudos to the owners and all the staff for their kindness and professionalism.
