Taverna del Porto In Tricase

Quality restaurant, very fresh fish, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Very beautiful location. Recommended.

The restaurant is well-kept, especially in the training area, and clean, even down to the bathroom. It has a small entrance hall with 78 tables, and then there's the upper section, which we couldn't visit because there were no seats. The restaurant is located on the seafront, so the view is very nice. We have a very limited menu with very few dishes, as they focus on choosing the freshest fish for their dishes, whether first or second courses. Although it might be very tempting, considering that a simple plate with two seafood dishes costs €25, imagine how much a fish dish made with fish chosen at the counter could cost. I understand that quality comes at a price, as does service, but paying €25 for 80g of pasta is really too much. The food menu didn't include any appetizers, and it was also made up of two sheets of paper. The wine list, however, was different, consisting of perhaps ten sheets of paper with wines. The cheapest wine was €25. Furthermore, while the waiters' service was impeccable, truly kind and attentive, not only am I not happy that I ended up paying €38 for a first course and two glasses of wine, but the worst part is, as you can see from the photos, that the plates are chipped, which definitely doesn't create a sense of atmosphere. To pay €25 for two spaghetti, I'd at least want the gold plate instead of the chipped one from the sideboard. I'd focus more on lowering costs and, above all, creating first courses to offer people, without them having to rack their brains trying to figure out what to make online with the catch of the day. I think it's very important to advise people who aren't familiar with fish or even go to a restaurant to avoid worrying about what to eat. They could offer specials of the day that might perhaps entice people to order a different first or second course, but leaving the menu open with the catch of the day seems a bit too much to me. The fact is, the quality, though poor for €25, was good. Obviously, I won't be returning. It's not about the money, it's about waste and excess.

Lunch with friends. I'll start by saying that the occasion was a birthday party, and it was held in the upper room overlooking the sea, accessible via a somewhat steep staircase, but equipped with a safety rope. The atmosphere is informal, decorated in a nautical style, and features a large dining room with an open-plan oven and bakery. The fish and shellfish menu is excellent. Service is fast, friendly, and attentive to guests' needs. Good value. A wonderful experience, definitely worth repeating! P.S.: You can purchase freshly baked bread from the excellent baker.

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Taverna del Porto, and the experience was truly excellent. The quality of the fish is extraordinary, incredibly fresh, and cooked with great care. Each dish showcases the flavors of the sea with simplicity and authenticity. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing, perfect for enjoying a dinner on the harbor. The staff is very kind, attentive, and professional, always ready to recommend the specials of the day. A restaurant that combines tradition, quality, and a passion for seafood. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a true gastronomic experience in Salento!

A truly well-stocked, high-quality seafood restaurant. The staff is friendly and helpful. The fish is incredibly fresh and the dishes are perfectly prepared! I'll be back as soon as I can. Highly recommended!

The open kitchen and the seafood displayed next to the tables, free of any pungent odors, are much appreciated. The food is excellent, seasonal, and beautifully presented. Open for lunch even on weekdays, the view overlooking the sea is enchanting.

Stunning location and top-notch seafood cuisine. The option to reserve a table directly from the website is a great option.

Beautiful direct sea view. Quality ingredients and a very balanced menu. Good wine list.

The best fish restaurant I have ever experienced in Italy, France, and Germany.

Perfection exists. Nothing to complain about! My favorite place, too bad it's a bit far away.
