Description

Set back slightly from the port, this restaurant boasts stunning views from its terrace which is highly recommended in fine weather. The culinary focus here is on modern dishes with an interesting choice of meat and fish options. Tea and kombucha offer an alternative to wine, while the home-produced gin is definitely worth sampling.

Review summary

Located in Porto Rotondo, Deste is noted for its stunning sea views and elegant atmosphere. Reviews frequently praise the high quality of food, fresh ingredients, and creative presentations, with service generally described as attentive and friendly. However, negative feedback highlights instances of slow or arrogant service, mediocre food flavors, and strict reservation deposit policies. Value is a point of contention; while the cuisine is refined, many guests find the prices excessive and the cost-performance ratio low, particularly when compared to other high-end dining options.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking a romantic seaside setting and refined modern cuisine, though those sensitive to value should consider alternatives.
