08/01/2026: I've only been there once a few years ago, but since I hadn't left a review at the time, I wanted to do so now. The overall experience was very positive and left me with fond memories.
The restaurant is located on the Giovinazzo seafront, with a truly spectacular view of the sea, creating the perfect atmosphere for a sunset dinner or a relaxed lunch. The setting is welcoming, clean, and tidy, and of medium size: spacious enough for small groups or families to dine comfortably without feeling crowded.
The staff has always been friendly, kind, and helpful, ready to recommend the daily specials or accommodate guests' requests. Even at the busiest times, their attentiveness and courtesy remain evident, making the experience pleasant.
The food is truly excellent: specialties include quality pizza, fresh fish dishes, seafood, and carefully selected appetizers, all prepared with genuine ingredients and beautifully presented. The portions are generous and satisfying, without being heavy, and the flavors are authentic and well-balanced.
Prices are average and absolutely reasonable for the quality of the dishes and the waterfront location. Service times are generally reasonable: during my visit, we didn't have a long wait, but it's understandable that waits can be slightly longer at peak times.
In summary, Gatto Verde is a place I highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality dinner or lunch in Giovinazzo, with tasty dishes, attentive staff, and a pleasant atmosphere with a splendid sea view. I will definitely return at the first opportunity.
20/12/2025: My family, friends, and I frequent it often, both for lunch (for special occasions) and for evenings... it's a modern, air-conditioned glass-fronted establishment overlooking the sea, with a veranda, a surrounding lawn, and an adjacent white beach in a beautiful blue gulf. It also features two screens for important TV events, plus a nautical-style outdoor space (in summer). I primarily go there for the delicious, highly digestible pizza (Barese style), with a wide selection and made-to-order options; but the dishes offered are also impressive, with a gourmet feel. Prices are reasonable and fair. They also do a lot of takeout, thanks to the natural "lounge" provided by the seafront and cliffs. Friendly, accommodating service. Decades of experience... a historic pizzeria, for a reason!
