Caffè Tarentum In Taranto

11/06/2026: Visited during the summer holidays. Excellent dinner. You arrive and they give you a placemat with the menu and you sit down. Then you order and pay, and when it's ready, the remote control vibrates and you leave it there for them to pick up. The salmon tartar is very good, as are the mixed fruit and fish balls. They also have a kids' menu. The prices are fair and the portions are satisfying. There's a €1 cover charge. Very good! 😀

07/06/2026: Yesterday was the first time, early in the evening (around 8:30 PM). We ordered two "Mirante" sandwiches with roasted octopus, stracciatella, and olive pâté, and I don't remember if there was anything else. In a place called "la barchetta" (little boat), you expect to taste the flavors of the sea, but nothing! From an immense amount of stracciatella that was overflowing, I pulled out three thin slices of cold roasted tentacles. They were good, tender, but cold, and honestly, paying €13 for stracciatella seems a bit unfair. Since there were two identical sandwiches, I don't think it was a sudden oversight. What a shame. The wait was short, and the service was very friendly.
