Core Restaurant In Taranto

If you like fish and seafood, then this restaurant is for you! The chef, who is very friendly btw, seems passionate by his products. Everything was fresh and good, they also have a wide range of interesting red wines. Our best meal in Taranto, without a doubt.

Everything was excellent, from the fresh catch of the day to the hot appetizer. Highly recommended. The service is attentive and friendly.

Clean and welcoming place. Helpful and professional staff. We ate really well. The hot seafood appetizers, the first courses were superb, and what can I say about the fried calamari and shrimp? Everything was delicious. I highly recommend a dining experience at Core. We'll be back.

Top-quality ingredients and expertly prepared. Professional owner with extensive experience in the industry.

Excellent restaurant, we visited on October 30, 2025. The fish was very fresh, and the staff was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend it.

The restaurant, located in the city center, overlooking the swing bridge, may seem small, but it has two floors, with clean and functional restrooms upstairs. The elongated interior is charming and inviting, with comfortable armchairs and large mirrors on the sides, making it more comfortable for those facing the wall. The staff is attentive and attentive, especially the owner, Michele, who let us choose our fish and deboned it at our table. Everything is seafood-based, starting with a varied appetizer with at least five courses, including a salad of small squid and shrimp, a fried shrimp, onion, and calamari dish set on a delicious layer of white fava beans, mussels with crostini, fried paccheri stuffed with creamed cod on a parmesan fondue, and a fish and zucchini timbale. All ingredients are fresh and well-prepared. The first and second courses, shown in the attached photos, are equally delicious. A light, very good red wine from the Pastini winery near Locorotondo.

At Core in Taranto, I tasted simply exquisite gratinated mussels, among the best I've ever had. The seafood first course was superb, rich in flavor and perfectly balanced. Making the experience even more enjoyable was Michele's kindness and professionalism, always attentive and friendly. A restaurant truly worth trying again and again!

Good food, good wine, nice atmosphere. I recommemd to make a reservation. Try the catch of the day fish and cannolo.

I am a Taranto native who lives in Siena, I eat little fish, I was invited to dinner at this restaurant and I had a great time, the staff and Michele were very kind and professional, not to mention the EXCELLENT food FROM STARTERS TO FIRST AND SECOND COURSES, I highly recommend it and above all it is always busy so book.
