Ristorante da Turicchio In Carovigno

Best aperitif along the seafront

We spend a few months here during the off-season and eat here regularly. A big plus: the restaurant is open all winter long. With a view of the harbor, you can enjoy handcrafted, delicious local cuisine at fair prices. Important tip: choose the Italian menu, not the English one, as the dishes are quite different. For example, the Italian menu features black pasta with scampi and stracciatella – which is absolutely fantastic. The grilled sea bream for €18 with salad is also really tasty. For a starter, try the frutti di mare salad, which is easily enough for two people. The house rosé is poured generously. The owner is incredibly friendly. Some of the male waiters might be a bit reserved, but overall, the atmosphere is great. Our two dogs don't get along well with the many cats around the restaurant, so we usually leave them at home.

It's a great spot for coffee, ice cream, an Aperol Spritz, and a snack, with a lovely sunny terrace overlooking the water. Of course, you'll also see plenty of complaining tourists passing by, in a hurry and expecting too much.

A welcoming and elegant place with a sea view and outdoor seating. The gelato is out of this world, a spectacle of flavors and a special delicacy.

A truly unexpected discovery... the quality/price ratio was nothing short of exceptional... the owner welcomed us like a true hostess... making us feel at ease right away... Thanks for everything. Lassandro's friends in Bari.

Just steps from the sea... attentive, friendly, and welcoming staff. Very fresh, top-quality fish. Good value. We had a wonderful time.

I went there just this evening to escape the chaotic patronal festival in my hometown, and here I found relaxation, a beautiful view, good service, and good food. Highly recommended.

Vincenzo was fantastic! He helped us choose the best dishes and recommended the absolute best. A true model of service!

A restaurant with a view of the waterfront, friendly staff who remembered the wine served with dinner the day before. The food was impeccable. Prices were reasonable.

Incompetent service, nonexistent seafood tagliolini, and undercooked pasta. The answer was, "Better raw than overcooked." The seaside location is a delight.
