Bottega con cucina e DIFETTI In Giovinazzo

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This place definitely deserves the highest rating! It's a charming restaurant with a few tables inside, and even more outside in the summer, creating a wonderful atmosphere for a leisurely meal. We were incredibly impressed that the chef (presumably also the owner) personally brought us fresh fish, allowing us to choose our own. This demonstrates the incredible attention to quality and freshness of the ingredients. For appetizers, we ordered carpaccio and baked mussels – they were delicious. The main course, however, exceeded our wildest expectations: pasta in a delicious tomato sauce and baked fish in tomato sauce with mussels. We don't remember the exact name of the dish, but the taste was absolutely exceptional. We've been to Italy many times (this is our 11th visit, visiting many regions on the mainland), but this was the first time we'd eaten something so delicious. We've never eaten such excellent fish in our lives! We wholeheartedly recommend it – we will definitely come back ❤️ Andrzej and Beatka

Giuseppe, thank you. Excellent service, excellent advice. A seemingly touristy place, but one that actually combines excellent cuisine with super attentive service.

Overall excellent. Located at the entrance to the historic district near the Pro Loco office. I went there with some local relatives who know the owner/chef. You definitely should ask what is off menu, as things are dynamic owing to the daily abundance of fresh items from local farm and seafood sources. The chef will prepare things to order at your request.

Highly recommended. Excellent quality, fresh products, and generous portions. The staff is helpful, friendly, and professional. We'll be back again.

A Sunday lunch to definitely repeat! Very beautiful, well-kept, quiet, and welcoming place, with the utmost attention and kindness to customers. We had the appetizer (tuna tartare), scialatielli with prawns for the first course, and grilled octopus for the second course. Everything was truly delicious, even the typical dessert of Troia, the Passionata. 😊 It was so good that I didn't want to leave, we'll be back.

Osteria di Mare!. Top! Superb quality and ingredients, prepared and served in traditional Apulian style. Friendly staff. The chef is a "phenomenon." Highly recommended! Perfect. Wonderful little square outside.
