Canneto Beach 2 In Margherita di savoia

Historic restaurant, excellent food, always a guarantee.

In a Margherita area that, year after year, is striving to become a tourist hub in northern Puglia, we find this restaurant. Thanks to the Riontino family, it has become a benchmark for seafood specialties, accompanied by a fantastic selection of local wines or, if you prefer, some of the finest international selections. Let Antonio advise you, and he will explain his region and its wines. In a Margherita area that, year after year, is striving to become a tourist hub in northern Puglia, we find this restaurant.

A special restaurant! They're fully equipped for celiac guests, with the option of adapting the entire menu to be gluten-free, including fried foods and more. The food is very high quality.

Really clean place, with an incredible wine selection. EXCELLENT AND PLENTY breakfast. 100/100 for the service, courtesy, and understanding and resolving customer issues or requests. Antonio Riontino and the waitress were excellent! THANK YOU

A place it's always nice to return to. Excellent food, impeccable service, a family of hard-working and professional people. With today's tasting evening, they outdid themselves once again. Congratulations to everyone, especially the incredibly knowledgeable Antonio. Ad maiora 💪

A beautiful, elegant restaurant with excellent service, high-quality, beautifully presented dishes, a wide selection of wines and spirits, and prices commensurate with the quality of the food. Recommended.

No discovery, just a confirmation. We had already been to this restaurant 7/8 years ago, brought by a friend who had by then well earned the nickname of “Violatour” for the good tips she gave. Her time in Margherita di Savoia had allowed her to explore the area and she spoke with pleasure of the cuisine of this restaurant, then known as Canneto Beach. Having visited the place, we realized that every taste was proof of her words. Recently, passing by Margherita di Savoia, the positive experience came back to mind. Today it is known as Ristorante Riontino, the name of the historic family that has always managed it together with a pizzeria that, instead, has kept the old name of Canneto Beach. Kind welcome with accompaniment to the dining room. Professional service and commented in the description of the dishes. As a preamble, a crust with burrata and anchovy, accompanied by a focaccia and, finally, a soft sandwich with a tasting of extra virgin olive oil of the Coratina variety, intense, fruity, slightly bitter and with its main characteristic of tingling. My favorite oil. As an appetizer, a delicious cod in a crust with mandarin sauce and lime gel and a traditional parmigiana, characterized by the addition of wild mustard greens in the layers. A local variant of parmigiana with a fine taste. For the first course, troccoli with cicadas and clams with a top of "ammollicata". For the second course, a sea bass with courgette flowers and fried artichokes, all garnished with drops of mandarin sauce, lime, berries and a trail of balsamic vinegar glaze on the artichokes. All sublime. Time passes, the family grows, but quality remains an indissoluble constant. Bravi!

Difficult to describe, the experience is to be had! The Chiocciola Slow food is well deserved. The wine shop and the possibility of purchasing the products served in the room are an added value to consider.

School trip: kindness, courtesy and good food. To return as a couple.

Remarkable experience that deserves to be reviewed with the highest marks (fully deserved). Entering and being greeted by such a structured, well-laid out and full of labels cellar would already be enough to exclaim wow, what a place. Lunch was delicious from start to finish! Authentic flavors and sublime pleasures (I found the spaghetti with shellfish erotic in its depth and aroma, great class). Having said that, excellent food, well-kept place, smiles at the reception, I would like to focus on 2 aspects that literally make Riontino win the competition hands down. 1) Dishes served and TOLD (then coherent during the tasting, the flavors anticipated during the storytelling were all there, in the various dishes); 2) Etiquette observed and fully respected (here the bar reaches its maximum, women first, long live women I would add). Congratulations to the whole team, to those who put their best foot forward and to those who, behind the scenes, work in the same way as the frontrunners. Greetings Pasquale Bufi, first communion BRIAN!!! 🌞☀️🔆
