A very well-equipped and organised ice cream bar on the main street of Taranto. The location is good, the decor is a bit retro, and the staff are courteous and friendly. However, I didn't like the taste of the ice creams. They're very bland, probably compared to other places, but I think they could do much better. If the main product is ice cream, I recommend improving it.

It was a delicious stop. Tiramisu, canolli were really good. Kids loved the pancakes with nutella/maple syrup

In the center of Taranto, a modern venue with a wide selection of sweet and savory options, including a café and aperitifs. Prices are slightly above average, and the atmosphere is ideal for a romantic aperitif.

Aperitivo at Sandrino: The classic Taranto ritual!
If you're passing through the center of Taranto and looking for a place to unwind with a truly comforting aperitivo, Sandrino is a must. It's the classic example of what an aperitivo should be: simple, generous, and convivial.
The Drink: The Aperol Spritz arrived perfectly, chilled, with just the right balance, and garnished with a nice slice of fresh orange. There's not much to say: a great classic executed flawlessly.
The Tasting (The Platter): Here's the real added value. Forget the usual skimpy plate; what arrives at the table is a wonderful assortment (Puglian tradition reigns supreme), varied and inviting. I really appreciated the variety: from crispy to soft, each piece seemed fresh and carefully crafted. In addition to the platter, the table was well stocked with the classic trio of wonders: flavorful green olives, peanuts, and taralli (which never get old), along with a bowl of crisps that instantly make you feel relaxed.
The location is central, perfect for those who want to watch the city go by, and it's the perfect place for a quiet chat.
The verdict:
Sandrino offers a solid, authentic, and generous aperitivo. It doesn't try to impress with molecular recipes or excessive gourmet pretensions: it focuses entirely on the freshness of local baked goods and conviviality. It's the ideal choice for an afternoon with friends, where the quality of the food and the pleasure of the moment matter more than anything else.
What could be improved? Nothing special to report; it's the Taranto experience you expect when you're looking for a properly prepared aperitivo.
If you're with friends, get a couple of these platters: they're so tempting, they'll be gone in no time!

The gelato was good, the location was central, but 5 stars for Aldo, who gave us great advice with his professionalism and dedication (which unfortunately tends to be lacking in this industry these days). Well done!

I'm back after a long time and... I have to change my mind... today I ate an excellent crepe recommended by Aldo and, this time, I was really happy and satisfied! Thank you!!!

A fantastic bar in the center of Taranto, right on the main street. The location is excellent, because after a stroll amidst the Christmas lights, a coffee this good is especially good when enjoyed in great company and served by excellent staff.
I had a chocolate "bombolone" (excellent). I have nothing to say about the service other than compliments.
The service was very fast, and we waited very little.
The place is modern with sofas inside.
You can also sit outside.

A slightly retro, welcoming place in the center. Coffee, regular ginseng... 2 mini cannoletti with cream, neither excellent nor infamous... For the price, you'd expect a little more quality. I'll try other places in the area and maybe have better luck.
