Osteria La Banchina In Trani

Recently, and for the first time in my life, I had the opportunity to dine at this restaurant. I'll start by saying that my tastes are very particular, as are the details I pay attention to, so I ask you to read my review with a certain lightheartedness and spontaneity. From the outside, La Banchina focuses heavily on the view overlooking the harbor, which is especially appreciated during the warmer seasons. So, if you want to enjoy the view, I recommend requesting a table under the outdoor roof, where possible. Inside, you'll find a place that exudes its years of activity: almost thirty years of charm, lived-in, warm, well-maintained yet at the same time neglected in small details. However, I really appreciated the use of courtesy towels in the restrooms, which certainly contribute to a lower environmental impact. The menu offers a variety of dishes and drinks to choose from: the raw seafood was certainly fresh and high-quality, but in my opinion, the plating of many dishes and the flavors of others were very classic and unoriginal. I had the opportunity to try their lemon sorbet and tiramisu, which was among the desserts available, but the latter had a strong eggy flavor, and I stopped after the first taste. I'll continue by saying that I was very disappointed to notice, beyond his undeniable experience, that one of the waiters was quite prone to engaging in informal conversation and not paying full attention, probably due to the large number of customers. Furthermore, I didn't have much space available, neither on the table nor in the immediate area around it. My experience wasn't entirely negative or positive, which is why I'm rating it with 3 stars.

Superlative dishes, simple in their simplicity, top-notch ingredients!!! Mimmo is super special! The chef's spaghetti alone is worth the trip!

On our way back from Bari, we decided to stop in Trani for dinner. We found this restaurant on Google thanks to the excellent reviews, and booked it. It's simply AMAZING! A truly wonderful discovery, it will be our go-to for future trips to the area. N.B. The fried seafood is amazing!! Top

Fantastic restaurant with excellent food, very fresh fish, and very kind and attentive service. We went back twice in one week because we loved it so much. 😍

Great dishes, beautiful view of the harbour and excellent service. Highly recommended!

Great place for lunch on the waterfront

When you stumble upon a restaurant by chance...and then realize you've landed in a place exactly as you were looking for: by the sea, local cuisine, friendly service, and excellent food!

Excellent food, friendly and hospitable staff. I recommend it!

Hallelujah !!! Fresh fish! Simply but beautifully cooked. Excellent service. Everything you’d want from a fish & seafood restaurant… very clearly better than the rest of the restaurants on the seafront. Found this place on our last night in Trani. Typical! Wish we had found it on our first day and would have come back day after day!

For those who don't want to make mistakes.
