18/11/2024: Outstanding! This place is the one in Taranto. It's a little tucked away, just off the sea front, but absolutely worth seeking out. It has that perfect balance of elegance and informality that is hard to define but so enjoyable when you find it. The host, one of the proprietors, was welcoming and amusing, and most importantly was very helpful with the menu. When he suggested sharing dishes rather than overordering, we knew we were on to a good thing. And he replaced my wine choice with a slightly cheaper one. Can you do better than that? The food, all fresh from the sea, was delicious: uncomplicated and ingredient based. What Italy, and Puglia in particular, does best. We fell into it almost by accident, but can't wait to go back.
