Patties Hamburger Gourmet In

A place with an elegant atmosphere and quality food

DINNER OF THE YEAR, HANDS DOWN! I've been a fan of this place since it opened, but having moved away, I hadn't dined at Patties since before Covid. Yesterday, for dinner, I found myself in a place that had undergone a complete overhaul—in terms of menu, interior design, and style. A meat restaurant so beautiful and exciting that I decided to spend a few more words in this review. Let's start with the meat: a few years ago, Patties had become incredibly well-known in the city for its gourmet burgers delivered in sneaker boxes, but now it offers specials (premium cuts of meat not found everywhere): I shared a Fassona tartare, an Argentine Black Angus entrecôte, and a Sant'Ambrogio cutlet (a Milanese cutlet made to perfection). Every dish was served to perfection, and the ingredients were of unquestionable quality: every bite brought me to tears. The location, to quote Alessandro Borghese: the place itself is already very nice, but Damiano suggested we sit in the closet for our private party. A closet leads to a separate room with a late-19th-century barrel vault: practically a speakeasy-style secret, very, very charming. The bill was fair and reasonable for what we ate and drank. We even treated ourselves to dessert! Special mention for the attention Damiano personally gave to our table and to another small group at the secret bar. I will recommend it to all my friends from Taranto or anyone passing through town!

The place you wouldn't expect in Taranto... Quality, service, and exclusivity... Enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience... Congratulations, guys!!!
