Al Canale In Taranto

Difficult review, because the location is very beautiful and the food was not bad. Some reservations about the prices (definitely higher than average in places of similar quality) and the service. The latter, although courteous and professional, did not put us at ease, with some peaks of "roughness" not exactly pleasant. The main protagonist is the young manager, whose authority is not adequately supported by experience, resulting in being unfriendly and arrogant. The atmosphere, potentially 5-star, was strongly influenced by the fact that we were not allowed to have lunch outside; inside, without air conditioning, the environment was decidedly more "normal", but was strongly altered by the presence of public officials (at least I imagine so, judging by the "blue" cars parked wildly at the entrance complete with regional or state friezes) who, in large numbers, were having lunch at the taxpayers' expense with particularly fine wines. Also because of this presence, the service was slow and rushed. In short: I won't go back, Taranto, if you can't have lunch on the water, has (much) better things.

A great experience for the palate, very fresh fish and superbly cooked. Not to mention the location that in itself deserves five stars plus. In the city of Taranto there is no more iconic place than this, on the navigable canal, almost under the swing bridge, a stone's throw from the castle.

If you are in Taranto and want to eat good fish, you can't miss stopping at 'Al Canale'. The location set in the city of the two seas is also suggestive. I recommend it!!!

A safe haven... I've been frequenting it for a long time and it has never disappointed me, on the contrary, it amazes me more and more

Uno dei ristoranti di pesce più famoso di Taranto. Location curata negli interni ma che d’estate offre il meglio con una cena con vista canale del ponte girevole e città nuova. Cucina buona a base di piatto della tradizione tarantina. Servizio gentile e disponibile.

Il Canale è un classico intramontabile della ristorazione tarantina, un locale che conserva un’atmosfera anni ’90, calda e accogliente, ma che risulta sempre attuale grazie alla qualità della sua proposta gastronomica. Qui la cucina di pesce è davvero eccellente, con una particolare attenzione alla freschezza e alla selezione della materia prima. Gli antipasti sono abbondanti e fantasiosi, i primi piatti convincono per sapore e tradizione, mentre i secondi esaltano tutto il meglio del pescato locale. Il servizio è gentile, puntuale e molto professionale. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è corretto Consigliato a chi cerca la vera cucina di mare a Taranto.

Refined and welcoming location with quality food. Excellent service...I think it's the best place to taste fish in Taranto.
