I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Taranto

24/08/2025: The pucce are very good and the service is very fast.

23/08/2025: Non-existent service, endless waits because they don't take reservations (yet when we asked for a free table they told us it was already booked...). I'd like to say the food was at least okay, but it wasn't. The meat was tough and the baked potatoes lukewarm. For the service and the quality of the food, the prices are definitely too high.

09/07/2025: Appetizer of sea and land for 4, a steak to share for 4 and 6 beers €50 per person ..... I'm speechless .... starters consisting of a plate of fried meatballs [two per person], a potato croquettes per person, a small piece of goulash, a roulade, a small piece of parmigiana, a plate of cold cuts (a slice of mortadella, salami and capocollo) with a small piece of cheese, sea bass carpaccio, a tuna meatball and to finish a plate of broad bean puree with cherry tomatoes, chicory and scattered here and there a squid that tasted like plastic....... not to mention the meat that tasted like acid...... I don't know how certain places continue to .......

08/07/2025: Il locale è accogliente ed elegante, con un tocco di originalità e di profumo di cose buone di Puglia... il forno rigorosamente a legna è sapientemente gestito dalla sig. ra Annalisa, dove realizza i suoi manicaretti... In sala si è sempre gentilmente accolti dal proprietario e consigliati secondo i propri gusti nel percorso della tradizione locale... i piatti sono all 'altezza dell' aspettative.. buonissima la pizza, la parmigiana è divina e la frittura freschissima.. ampia scelta di vini ottimi per abbinamento ..

06/05/2025: Portate di alto livello scelta di materie prime di alta qualità. Complimenti allo Chef nonché proprietario Carlo. Ottima la pizza impasto napoletano alta digeribilità pomodoro fresco come in poche pizzerie. Ottima esperienza di sapori e gusto. Ottimo servizio cura del cliente minimale. Esperienza da rifare assolutamente!

03/05/2025: Fantastic place, food I can't describe why and delicious

18/06/2025: Great pizza, enough change, simple decor, quiet atmosphere, excellent service

15/06/2025: Delicious dinner, with an excellent aperitif based on homemade mixed fried food and followed by a delicious fragrant and light pizza with quality ingredients... Very attentive and careful service To return soon

23/08/2025: Good pizza. Skip the other dishes.

29/07/2025: Excellent place, and excellent food. I've been there several times, both for birthday parties and for dinners in general. The food is good and affordable. The pizza is very good, as are the house appetizers. Highly recommended.

08/09/2025: Holy cow! The best seafood restaurant in Taranto and I would dare say Italy. Unexpectedly amazing. One dish better than the next. Only seafood, so if you don’t like fish you will lean to love it.

08/09/2025: Without comparison, if you pass through Taranto it is a must-see stop

18/08/2025: Excellent dough, fresh ingredients,

23/07/2025: Excellent pizza, light, tasty and digestible

16/07/2025: Local, authentic, delicious and cheap - it was a perfect Italian dinner

22/06/2025: Ottimo cibo servito senza fretta... ambiente famigliare. Le trofie con guanciale croccante e porcini strepitose. Prezzo modico. Consigliato vivamente.

02/04/2025: Retro environment suitable for everyone, guaranteed confidentiality

03/03/2025: Although it doesn't have a full kitchen, precisely because it is a bar, the appetizers are fantastic. Small but comfortable rooms, very particular and refined environment....

19/08/2025: The food is of average-to-high quality, but some of the pizzas I've tried aren't very tasty. Last time, two ingredients used for one of their best pizzas, the melina, were missing: honey and almonds. Both are easy to find; we were a little disappointed, but the fig pizza they offered was good. The appetizer portions, however, are really small—perhaps excessively so—and the prices are too high. The atmosphere is very nice, the staff is quite friendly, and they've increased their numbers, so even though it was a Saturday, everything arrived on time.

15/08/2025: I can't explain the negative reviews; I've known the place for years, and it's always elegant in its simplicity. The staff is friendly and professional, and the pizza is light and made with good-quality ingredients. You won't find pizzas with puffy, dry, and oversized crusts. For me, it remains one of the best places to spend a quiet evening in Taranto.

09/09/2025: Since it was my first time, everything was perfect. Delicious pizza, unique atmosphere. Highly recommended.

26/08/2025: We were four (two adults and two children) at The Red Lion in Sava, and the experience was truly exceptional! We ate wonderfully: the food was of the highest quality, with prime cuts of meat cooked to perfection and the freshest vegetables that enhance every dish. The restaurant is unique and meticulously maintained, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes every moment a pleasure. Special praise goes to the staff, always kind, attentive, and helpful. All at a more than fair price, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. A true highlight for the city of Sava: highly recommended for those seeking quality, flavor, and professionalism.

16/08/2025: My family and I were there on 14/08, everything was delicious, from the products to the hospitality, the owner was super kind.... greetings from Ottaviano's friends

15/07/2025: Certamente di gusto i loro preparati, servizio anche rapido e tanta cortesia da parte delle ragazze al bancone… Ma esser lì a prenotare qualcosa da mangiare e ritrovarsi un cuoco che esce dalla cucina e apertamente arronzare le ragazze per le preparazioni sei tavoli all’esterno, lascia un po’ basiti su quello che dovrebbe essere i panni sporchi da lavare in famiglia. Decisamente no!… il cliente non vuole sentire cose del genere mentre ordina qualcosa. Le ragazze hanno continuato ad essere professionali nascondendo l’imbarazzo. Occorre che qualcuno glielo dica, un locale si apprezza anche per questo.

07/09/2025: We had lunch with my in-laws and my daughter. The interior dining room is very beautiful with soft colors and nice, tidy tablecloths. The staff was attentive and immediately asked us what food to bring for the little girl. Then the real service began, with water, wine, and really good appetizers. The seafood starters were plentiful and flavorful. A main course of fish was served, followed by a delicious dessert and coffee. The bill was in line with my expectations. We'll definitely be back to try the pizzeria. I personally recommend it. See you next time.

05/09/2025: Waiting over an hour for a pizza is pretty long, I think. At first, I thought it was a nice restaurant, but the wait was unbearable.

28/08/2025: It was a recommendation by our host and it did not disappoint at all! What a beautiful cute little Osteria with amazing food! The chef herself came out to ask how the food it and it was really good! The homemade pasta with tomatoe sauce - wow! A simple dish but so flavorful and amazing!

23/08/2025: Great experience. Family-run restaurant. Excellent food and service. We highly recommend it. You'll feel right at home.

17/08/2025: The atmosphere is simple, clean, organized, and welcoming. Its strong point: over ten different types of bombette (fried meatballs) that, once you've tried them, you can't live without them, as well as the other meat varieties. The staff is fast, friendly, and helpful. The owners were like hosts, exchanging a few words before we left. What can I say? Go with your eyes closed, we'll be back as soon as the opportunity arises!

16/08/2025: I've been working in the restaurant business for 25 years. I've never seen such incompetence as in this place. You have to order meat at the counter, but they don't weigh it in front of you (the bill only lists "meat" and a total price). They had no idea what wines were off the menu or their prices. We received the side dishes as appetizers instead of with the meat. They didn't bring us all the meat we ordered. Finding a waiter so we could order water (€1.50 from the tap) or bread was mission impossible. We waited 20 minutes for the bill, which we repeatedly asked for. And finally, the bill was incredibly high after they completely ruined our evening. What can I say... it's one thing to run a restaurant, and another to grill a little meat like at home... A huge disappointment.
