Checkpoint Birreria In Taranto

09/11/2025: It's always a pleasure to go for dinner or Sunday lunch at Le Vecchie Cantine, a romantic and enchanting place. Beautiful location, excellent food, top-notch wood-fired pizzas, and a warm welcome from the owner, Loredana. I recommend everyone to go with friends, alone, or for a romantic dinner.

20/10/2025: We returned on Saturday evening after some time away, and the excellent impressions we had were fully confirmed. The place is welcoming, well-kept, and clean, with an atmosphere that combines elegance and simplicity. The impeccable service made the evening even more enjoyable, always attentive but never intrusive. For my first review, I always choose the Pizza Napoli: it's the most honest test to evaluate the dough, cooking, and basic ingredients. And here it was a triumph—perfect dough, light and flavorful, cooked strictly in a wood-fired oven, as is rarely the case these days. Then I tried the Pizza Autunno, a gourmet offering that showcases the pizza chef's creativity and the quality of the ingredients. A sincere and affectionate thank you to the very kind Loredana, our attentive and cheerful hostess, and a huge compliment to pizza chef Roberto, a true master of dough and flavor. Among the appetizers, the caponata and fried cod are unparalleled—dishes that exude tradition and a love of authentic cuisine. The desserts are also excellent, rounding out the meal with just the right amount of sweetness. The price is perfectly proportionate to the quality of the ingredients and the overall experience: a place that never disappoints, and which will become a go-to for us, even for special occasions. A restaurant where we always return with a smile and the desire to enjoy the pleasure of good food once again.
