Bar La Gioia In Taranto

Good morning. Today, for my birthday, I wanted to celebrate with my partner at the La Gioia bar on Via Dante. I'll start by saying that the place isn't huge, but it's very welcoming, and the staff is very polite and dedicated to their work. We had the white lasagna with mushrooms, which was very delicate and not at all heavy. The rustici platter was plentiful and well-filled. To finish, we had zeppole and cookies filled with various creams. And then the spritz...what can I say? I've never had a spritz this good, made exactly how I like it...and best of all, it didn't float in ice!

Aperitivo number 1. I haven't enjoyed such a good Aperol Spritz in years. Most bars in Taranto, and even other cities, water it down with lots of ice, and the Aperol is barely noticeable. The bartender, Angelo, knows how to measure the ingredients beautifully, and serves up an exceptional Aperol Spritz! The white mushroom lasagna was so good I asked for seconds. The rest of the platter was excellent. We finished with desserts prepared by the owner, from zeppiline to biscotti with pistachio and hazelnut cream. The price was even too fair. We'll definitely be back!

One of Taranto's historic bars. Tastefully decorated. It's a place where joy isn't just the owner's surname, but the atmosphere that envelops you as soon as you enter. Fine-quality pastries and cakes. Truly excellent buffet service and quick meals. A private room is available for small events (birthdays and children's parties). The coffee is truly exquisite.

Excellent pastry shop. Beautiful and delicious cakes.
