I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Taranto

22/09/2025: Excellent pizza, pasta and fish

12/09/2025: A day at the "Il Purgatorio" trattoria is more than just lunch or dinner, but an experience that combines the best of gastronomy with a complete immersion in history. Located in the heart of a former tannery, this enchanting place welcomes you with an atmosphere that transports you to another era from the moment you step inside. The imposing stone walls, the interior arches, and the multi-level rooms adorned with ancient relics create a majestic yet intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The service is impeccable, attentive, professional, and never intrusive. Filippo, the chef, is a true artist, reinterpreting tradition with a touch of modernity and boldness. Each dish is a work of art, both in its presentation and the balance of flavors. "Il Purgatorio" is a place where time seems to stand still, certainly an ideal spot to celebrate a special occasion or simply treat yourself to an unforgettable evening, suspended between history, art, and haute cuisine. An experience I recommend to anyone who wants to experience the magic of fine dining in a unique setting.

19/09/2025: Outdoors on a terrace under the stars.

18/09/2025: The octopus salad made in Puglia, and especially in a seaside place, is unacceptable... it's a shame because the place deserves better.

02/09/2025: Good quality and fast service, excellent home-made food, welcome with smiles.

31/08/2025: Excellent pizzas and Michele is very good in the dining room

21/09/2025: A place to feel good – highly recommended I spent a few days at La Giara Risto Relais and can highly recommend my stay. As a single woman traveling alone, it was especially important to me to feel safe and well looked after – and that was exactly the case here from the very first minute. The room was exceptionally clean, tastefully furnished, and meticulously maintained down to the last detail. I also really liked the quiet, somewhat secluded location. Parking was available right next to the rooms. What made the stay special was the warmth of the hosts. The Italian mentality – open, warm, and familiar – was palpable at all times. I felt welcome, safe, and completely at home in every way. If you're looking for clean, quiet accommodations with genuine Italian hospitality, this is the place for you. I would love to come back.

03/08/2025: A wonderful start to your vacation! Perfect calamari and a bistecca di cavallo, caprese for dessert…

26/09/2025: Nice place and professional and kind staff

10/09/2025: Excellent for an aperitif, served with a wide selection of quality hot and cold appetizers, outdoors on a cool evening. We'll definitely be back.

21/08/2025: Top burger, top atmosphere and the kittens in the background are too cute!

29/07/2025: A wonderful surprise, everything very good.

06/09/2025: The pizza was good, but the biggest problem was the long wait—over an hour for two pizzas. After notifying the wait staff about the delay, we were told the place was full and the wait was normal. It's worth noting that we specifically went at the earliest hour, and in fact, we were the only ones in the room when we ordered. Finally, during the payment process, there was no apology, not even a hello or thank you. We won't be returning.

28/08/2025: Without infamy and without praise

02/09/2025: Menu with excellent choices. Professional service, attentive to ensuring you're not disappointed.

23/08/2025: A trattoria with 1970s furnishings Everything else is 1970s The food is good with prices varying depending on the owner's mood Not reliable

20/09/2025: Very bad service. Out of control and waiting 1 hour for the food.

14/09/2025: A real drag without eating anything special. OVERPRICED. Service was nonexistent, and when it was there, it was reasonably warm and welcoming. The sommelier, too, had a pedantic approach, and I wasn't thrilled with the selection he suggested. The appetizers (€22/person) are almost all vegetable and cheese-based, and very rustic, trattoria-style. €22 is too much, or at least, considering you're also getting a main course and dessert, the price could be adjusted. I WON'T GO BACK

09/10/2025: Amazing pizza, but not only that. The kitchen is also happy to accommodate those who don't eat pizza or have allergies... a wonderful discovery in a city I visit often.

21/09/2025: Friendly staff, delicious pizza with top quality ingredients

09/10/2025: Amazing pizzas. Orderly and fast service.

28/09/2025: Beautiful location, with friendly, helpful, and courteous staff. We tried the pizza, which we thought was superb. The prices are beyond excellent. Plus, if you're a football fan, you can watch the game on the big screen. What more can I say? Try it and believe it...

25/09/2025: Good service, excellent food, fair prices.

15/09/2025: Nice place, it's just a shame that the seats are right in the middle of the street and the noise is sometimes really annoying.

17/09/2025: Excellent welcome. We had dinner on the terrace, it was truly delightful. The antipatio was very good. The pizzas are excellent. The atmosphere is very pleasant, dining among the locals. A special treat for us. Thank you for this wonderful time to the entire team at Casa Lacorte.

03/09/2025: A truly worthy restaurant, discovered by chance in the center of Grottaglie. The interior is beautifully decorated and features a lovely terrace, perfect for summer evenings. Despite being packed, the welcome was excellent. The service was friendly and fast. We tried appetizers, first and second courses, and pizza, as we returned the following evening. The food was exceptional, but the real strength of this place is undoubtedly the owner's professionalism, her attention to detail, and her friendly team, which make all the difference. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Puglia. Highly recommended!
