Anime sante ITTITURISMO In Tricase

Incredible place highly recommended for those looking for authenticity and sustainability without frills and fashion labels. Paper placemats and only fish caught from their fishing boats. The menu is dictated by the generosity of the sea and the weather as it should be. Only you have to book in advance.

"Holy Souls" was the name of the fishing boat that grandfather used and they were invoked even when the sea became stormy. The management is family-run and everyone works towards a single aim, that of pampering their customers in the best possible way. The feeling is that of being in a family where everyone knows and satisfy everyone's tastes, but also and above all those with a refined palate. To underline the quality of each course with raw materials coming from the day's catch and, for this reason, do not expect a pre-established menu as it absolutely depends on what the sea offered that day. The vegetables, organic and 0 km, come from the field cultivated by the owner himself. Before, during and after meals we were in the company of Rocco who recounted real life experiences. We said goodbye promising new visits.

ANIME SANTE a TRICASE PORTO (LE) A luglio passando per Tricase Porto vedo l'entrata di Anime Sante, luci, pieno di gente, bel posto, mi sembra. Ritorno a settembre e ci vado. Piccolo ristorante, una unica stanza, in fondo una vetrata con dietro chi cucina. Tavoli molto vicini. Chi accoglie si presenta con un vassoio col pescato disponibile (del giorno, viene detto ). Il menù si legge col lettore QR ma una ragazza in gamba te lo spiega (e vende) . L'offerta é stringatissima, ma forse é la filosofia del locale, e cioè proporre in base a quel che si pesca. Meglio pochi piatti ben cucinati piuttosto che un'offerta tropo ampia, si dirà e si dice. Nel vassoio vedo una piccola aragosta. Ordino allora 2 spaghetti all'aragosta (fuori menù) oltre a 2 antipasti (20€ l'uno). Come vino scelgo l' AMURE in una carta che vede una proposta assai limitata, con molti vini dati "sold out" . Arrivano gli antipasti. Chiedo se sono per 2 persone... vista la modesta consistenza : 2 trancetti di palamita, 2 rotolini di zucchine farcite di tonno, 2 tranci di leccia in crosta (le portate sono 6 ma francamente non ricordo le altre 3...). Buono ma veramente scarso. E' il momento dello spaghetto all'aragosta, ciascun piatto con il mezzo crostaceo che avevo visto, sugo appetitoso ma la polpa é quella che é. Nel frattempo la sala si é riempita non solo di turisti ma anche di locali, segno che la trattoria é apprezzata. Vorrei un liquore artigianale al finocchietto ma é finito, opto allora per l'unico dolce proposto, una sorta di "crostata con confettura artigianale". Si paga al tavolo, non c'è lo spazio fisico per un banchetto con la cassa. Alla fine sono 136€, i 2 spaghetti incidono per 66€, il vino per 18€. In conclusione: buon cibo fresco, porzioni molto scarse, servizio in sala appena accettabile, prezzo inadeguato rispetto a tutti i fattori elencati, caro. FORSE....NON SO.... DA RIVALUTARE... Unica nota positiva il vino. AMURE di CLAUDIO QUARTA è l'incontro di due vitigni distanti per origine ma coltivati poi sulla stessa terra e sotto lo stesso sole. E' un IGP col 70% di Fiano ( il cui nome deriva da "Apianum" perché uva prediletta dalle api, conosciuto in Irpinia - Il Fiano di Avellino-ma coltivato in gran parte del Sud Italia) e il 30% di Manzoni Bianco (un vitigno semiaromatico originario del Veneto che deriva all'incrocio di Riesling Renano e Pinot Bianco). Amure si presenta con un colore verdognolo/giallo paglierino brillante, sprigiona subito profumi di pera, fiori bianchi e agrumi. Risulta poi fresco e piacevole con un finale morbido di frutta a polpa bianca. Buono.

Famiglia di pescatori che cucina solo il proprio pescato. In sala Chiara spiega amorevolmente il menu che non può deludere. Ritorneremo.

Excellent fish caught directly by them at night. Simple but very, very refined cuisine. Great courtesy. What is required of a fish restaurant by the sea: fresh fish, well cooked. Honest prices. Compliments.

Super!!! But then the staff is too nice and kind 😍

Dinner with friends on holiday, 7 people. We ask to be able to reserve the table at 10.00 pm 10.30 pm we are told that it is not possible and to come promptly at 9.30 pm, when we arrived at 9.30 pm the table was not ready, we were asked if during the very pleasant wait for some prosecco or wine, we were happy and ordered a bottle of Falanghina, at 10pm the table is ready and we still haven't been served the ordered bottle. Very narrow table. As soon as possible we asked to add another table to be more comfortable. Young waiters not very knowledgeable about the menu and general information. Only Chiara, the girl in the dining room, appears to be very knowledgeable about the menu, however we order 3 appetizers (20 euros per dish) and 3 tuna tartare (around 20 euros per dish). For around 120 euros for a starter we imagined eating something more, really small dishes, I thought they would be more generous. I point this out to Chiara and the other waiters who "apologize" for the portions. The very fresh but not seasoned tartares, I personally didn't like them. Among other things, they brought us 2 blue fish tartares if I'm not mistaken because the tuna was finished but only when the alternative dishes arrived at the table did they let us know. We continue with the first/second courses and two bottles of wine, all very good but with the pasta we are always not there with the portions, my thought, if a second course of fish with 50 grams of pasta I pay 32 euros for a first course of fish I pay 22 euros don't put 100g of pasta under me or almost. Well. We get to the desserts, here too the ones requested were finished and communicated only when the alternative dishes arrived at the table. Mirto and coffee okay. Bill, I speak to Chiara telling her that we didn't have a very good time, we imagined spending another type of evening, she agrees with me and tells me that she would have taken a bottle of wine off my bill, another lady instead tells me that the bill is that and they don't give discounts. I'm not used to being treated like this in the restaurants I go to, I know the environment very well and for me the management of this place needs to be revised a little. Chiara is very competent and knows what she's doing, I don't understand if it's a family business, I would honestly leave more space to her in managing the place. Hello Holy Souls 👋

Recommended by a friend we went to Anime Sante, and we were fully satisfied. Owners and attentive staff always available for any explanation, excellent food quality, consistent quality/price. Well done!!

Tricase Porto is a little jewel on the Adriatic whose seafront is worth walking; the “ittiturismo” restaurant only serves fish caught the day; in theory it is a rustic place (folding chairs, placemats and paper napkins) but in practice it offers well-structured dishes starting from lobster or Greek cicadas and ending with all the other local fish; kind service; quite high prices

On the recommendation of friends we had dinner in this restaurant. Our high expectations were not disappointed. Excellent quality of fish, few things but cooked very well. Locally sourced fish and vegetables to satisfy not only the palate but also the eyes. All accompanied by the professionalism and courtesy of the staff. The place breathes the air of Salento. The appetizers and the dotto al guazzetto are excellent! The dessert is divine, a house specialty. Price in line with how much eaten. Must try.
