Quintessenza In Trani

Your first time at a Michelin-starred restaurant is unforgettable. And indeed, it was a long-awaited, sought-after experience, worth experiencing and sharing as much as possible. It's impossible not to give this experience five stars, for several reasons. The first is the attention and care shown to everything that surrounds you from the moment you enter this splendid stone structure located opposite Trani Castle. This alone would merit my five-star review. The service is meticulously meticulous, not excessive, but very important. The menu and its courses are therefore difficult to describe because they really must be experienced, savored, and understood. There's a blend of Puglian tradition, present throughout the entire gastronomic journey, and gourmet innovation. All the pairings are very balanced. Personally, I really enjoyed, in addition to the homemade bread, the risotto with herring and mackerel with caviar. It's flavorful and excellently balanced. The wine list is very impressive, reflecting a high-quality cellar. Of course, we're in a Michelin-starred restaurant, so the prices are reasonable, but ultimately, you have to remember that you're enjoying a taste experience, not just a simple meal. Congratulations.

"A venue with meticulous attention to detail, ideal for a special evening. The staff made us feel pampered from start to finish, without ever being intrusive. A perfect blend of professionalism and warmth. A well-deserved five stars."

We had the pleasure of spending a truly memorable evening at this outstanding restaurant. Nestled right in front of the stunning Castello di Trani, the location alone provides a magnificent and breathtaking backdrop that elevates the entire dining experience. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional – each dish was a work of art that delighted both the eye and the palate. The sommelier’s wine pairings were impeccable, enhancing every course to perfection. We left utterly impressed by the culinary mastery and attention to detail. This Michelin-starred gem comes with our highest recommendation, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

The jewel in the crown of the city of Trani!

We are staying the last years on new year in Trani. This year we visited Quintessenza for the first time. What a blast! What a fantastic place and Team. Not one but two menus which are a culinary feast. We visited two times to expierence the full range of Tastes. The Wine pairings were both Times absolut great. Saverio is an expert with his range in the Cellar. With him and his Brother Domenico in the service, we had such a great time. We left this restaurant with the feeling of Family and Bonding together. Stefano and Alessandro are Masterchefs. What they and their team prepared on our dishes was outstanding and counts in the Hitlist of the best Restaurants we ever visited. Guys,thank you for this expierience and the great feelings we had. We will see again. Gunther and Carolin

We were greeted with a smile and a truly unique warmth, a prelude to a simply extraordinary lunch. All the dishes, from the welcome gifts to the final small pastries (not to mention the bread!), were marvelous: bold yet balanced flavors, with flavors that enthralled the palate in a precise and well-paced sequence (scarpetta was a must, in my case, quite shamelessly...). The wine list was excellent, with a lovely tasting option by the glass thanks to the providential Coravin: being able to savor Valentini's legendary Trebbiano was a rare privilege. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

A true gastronomic experience! The Michelin-starred restaurant was a dream. The impeccable service, the elegant atmosphere, and the food...wow! Creative presentations with the freshest ingredients! If you're looking for a unique experience, don't hesitate! Definitely five ⭐

A beautiful place, somewhere between rustic and elegant. Truly excellent food and excellent service.
