Caramel In Trani

Trani = città slow and Maurizio Carella's Bistrot "Il Caramel" also super slow - totally nice. Original, authentic and very unique. Not as artificial and loud as at the Lungomare. If you would like advice about local wines and delicacies, then you are well served at “Signore Mauri”. Take your time with you. Slow down. Wonderful. You can see the small harbor. But the real highlight there is the alley, the food, the wines, the guests and, above all, the innkeeper himself. Our special meal was the Pasta Assasina. Murderous pasta. According to legend, it was created in Bari three years ago to make good use of fresh, uncooked pasta. The spaghetti is cooked in tomato sauce with pepperoncino and oil for almost three quarters of an hour - in the pan. What secrets lie behind it... taste for yourself... Of course a fresh salad before and a Parmeggiana after. And finally a Moscati di Trani - the dessert so to speak. Thank you for the lovely evening “Signore Maurizio” and for surviving the murderous pasta ;-)

A gem, authentic with a super friendly host, Trani di Puglia at its best. Definitely go… Insider tip: Spagetti Assassini

This kind of place feels good!!! Atypical, no stress, the boss is very cool (and doesn't rush, which is very important). The Campari Spritz wasn't great, but the Negroni and local white wine were delicious. The home-made basil Orechiette were really delicious. And what about the limoncello, also home made! The best I have ever tasted (at 3€!). I highly recommend, also very close to the port. And it feels good to be served by a boss without any stress ☺️Bravo!

Delicious wine, tasty food and a lovely host.

Great place, with excellent cuisine and a very pleasant welcome The map is very reduced for more authenticity

If you are looking for authenticity and quality cuisine, this is the place to come and eat or have a drink in Trani!! You will be warmly welcomed by the charming Maurizio, the handyman of these places. This restaurant offers very good wines, real Italian cuisine with only local products, at a more than reasonable price. Simply nothing to complain about in this bistro, we returned there the following evening… We can only recommend this charming restaurant if you are passing through Trani!! Ps: don’t forget to order the limoncello fatto in casa at the end of your meal. (Maurizio even shared his recipe with us)

Walking through the streets of Trani on a warm summer evening, we stopped for dinner in this bistro. We were pleasantly enchanted by this place due to its uniqueness. Maurizio the owner is exquisitely kind. The dishes are prepared with attention and care. The Caramel Bistrot really won us over. I hope to return soon, in the meantime a warm greeting from Naples!.

Honestly exceptional! There are two types of restaurants: tourist traps, good restaurants and Maurizio's place is part of a 3rd: the exceptional! It's ultra typical, it's unlike anything else at Trani, it's super good and everything is done with meaning! Very very good wines, super affordable prices and unique atmosphere. Special mention for the maurizio pasta: whatever the recipe of the day, go for it with your eyes closed!

Quiet, pleasant, nicely decorated with a view of the port, this cozy and original little restaurant really appealed to my girlfriend and me!! To describe the cuisine as "homemade" would almost be an understatement as we feel like the owner's guests!
