bar IL CAFFÈ In Taranto

23/09/2025: A very professional team serving delicious, absolutely fresh, and very high-quality seafood. The dining room is a bit loud, but lively. Those preferring a quieter atmosphere can dine on the terrace. Friendly and prompt service. Reservations recommended.

23/09/2025: The freshest seafood straight from the counter, cooked to perfection! We tried the cavatelli with mussels—excellent flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully blended with fresh tomato. The mixed fried seafood (calamari, cuttlefish, octopus, and shrimp) was truly unique: crispy, light, and completely oily. The shrimp were easy to eat whole, without having to clean them. It was the first time we'd tried such delicious, crispy fried seafood! We were truly impressed by how well-prepared each dish was. We paired everything with a mixed salad and a Mastro Bianco Campania white wine, a perfect pairing. The place is simple and authentic, with the atmosphere of a true Italian trattoria and friendly service. The bill for everything was €70—excellent value for the experience. It's definitely worth stopping here if you're in Taranto—we'll definitely be back!
