In Trani to train, in Trani to taste. The place was recommended to us by a friend on a diet, who does not give up good food when invited. At the end of the commitments, the direction was now decided. The city center was the destination. Once we reached the Taverna Portanova, we had some slight difficulty finding parking. The location features stone walls and a wooden ceiling. On the back wall a reproduction of the ancient city of Trani which, overall, gives the impression of entering a place from another era. Welcoming and seated, we asked for further information on what was on the menu. The reading had tickled the idea of Paella, but it would have been better to warn beforehand. Paella preparation times are not suitable for those whose time is limited. We opt for a mixed starter “Portanova”. Catalan-style prawns, browned octopus salad with potatoes, fried calamari, morsels of mozzarella and ricotta, tuna tartare with caper tips, white parmigiana with freshly grilled aubergines, not classically fried. Accompanied by the inevitable basket of bread and taralli. Delightful!
First we enjoyed troccoli with seafood and cavatelli with monkfish, rocket and cherry tomatoes. Accustomed to shared tasting, to my palate, the latter had an edge. Nice experience, definitely recommended.

Excellent and fresh food. The house starter is plentiful and very good. The linguine with clams and cicadas is a riot of flavour. A fish restaurant that I recommend without any doubt. Quality and honest price.

After eating in the various places on the port we wanted to eat in this characteristic tavern.
Fast and attentive service. Good portions, excellent quality of raw materials. Traditional dishes. Special mention for the troccoli allo scoglio, a very tasty dish, very rich in fish and above all well blended. Perhaps one of the best eaten in Trani. Correct account. Recommended we will be back.

Dopo aver visitato la cattedrale, la piazza sul mare e alcuni vicoli di Trani, giunti davanti a questo ristorante, abbiamo chiesto se era possibile fare pranzo. Una volta avuta conferma devo dire che è stato un pranzo a base di pesce veramente gustoso con sapori delicati ma gustosi facendoci immaginare il profumo di mare. Una cucina non pesante, equilibrata nella salatura e aromi. Ottimo servizio di sala con molta attenzione ai commensali lasciandoci portar via un ottimo ricordo per bontà delle pietanze e gentilezza del personale. Io tornerò per assaporare altre pietanze. Consigliatissimo

Locale di vecchio stampo sia negli arredi che nella gestione e nel menu. Non è un male, anzi. Ormai è un fiorire ovunque di cucina Fusion, arredi moderni e QRcode ma qui ritrovi il classico tavolo da trattoria di un locale raccolto, molto pulito e ordinato, con menu di carta e proposte semplici e ben preparate.
Buon crudo di mare e antipasti di Pesce fresco, linguina con i lupini mantecata e condita il giusto, pesce al forno fresco e di buona cottura. Servizio cordiale, forse un po’ lento per qualche dissapore che emergeva dalle cucine.
Consigliato per chi sa apprezzare cibo locale, genuino e senza inutili sofisticazioni.
Genuino anche il prezzo, come onestamente si addice a quanto proposto.
