I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Taranto

09/03/2026: Located in Marina di Pulsano on the Salento coast, spectacular sea and a very beautiful location...

08/03/2026: The location is beautiful, but the food isn't so much. We ordered a raw seafood platter that included shrimp and other seafood, but we only received two oysters and about 15 clams: it wasn't fresh (which made us sick). The pasta dishes are very generous. One waiter in particular (over 50), despite our repeated calls, pretended not to hear us, and even took away a plate full of octopus that we still had to eat without asking. The service is truly terrible, as only one person takes orders for all the tables, making it difficult to order anything every time, or at least you have to wait a long time for the waiters to communicate. It's a real shame because the place is wonderful and almost all the waiters are very kind...

20/02/2026: Great bar, very good food, but the owners leave a lot to be desired. He smoked inside the bar, and when we came in to order, he was immediately rude. I won't be returning.

27/01/2026: A great place for good coffee with typical Italian snacks. Coffee served at the counter is cheaper than at a table. The service is helpful and friendly. You can enjoy your coffee both inside and in the garden. I recommend it.

23/09/2025: It calls itself fast food, but it's far from fast food, and I'm not even talking about the quality, because unfortunately, I couldn't dine there due to the excruciating wait. As is customary, the "very friendly" lady with the clipboard and the "professional" owner were the ones to serve, with an estimated wait time of 20-30 minutes. Leaving aside the excruciating 1.5 hour wait, they prepared our table after repeatedly questioning the "warm" reception staff about the wait time, which was well beyond the estimated time. After we got our table, there was another 20-30 minute line to order, at which point the cashier, probably annoyed by the influx of people, informed us that we would have to wait approximately 1.5 hours to eat. Since the place isn't exactly known for estimating or adhering to timetables, I decided to leave, perhaps even rudely, due to the long wait and the lack of clarity from the staff. Just as I was telling the cashier to cancel my order, the owner (always the professional receptionist) arrived and started attacking me, accusing me of not understanding anything, especially about restaurants. He explained that since they're a FAST FOOD restaurant, they couldn't give me precise times and that given the high number of customers, there would be a long wait. At that point, I had to explain to the expert restaurateur the definition of fast food, which I thought everyone knew, especially restaurateurs, but I was wrong, having heard the highly knowledgeable owner's futile intervention. As I was leaving, I wanted to publicly review the experience I and the other eight members of the group had with those waiting, and there the capable owner of the fast food restaurant, in a threatening tone, ordered me to leave the public area in front of the restaurant, which I gladly did, not out of fear of him or one of his followers, but because it was 11:30 PM and I and the other members of the group had already been hungry for a while. That said, if you're craving a seafood FAST FOOD, I invite you to try established, well-run establishments, undoubtedly knowledgeable about the restaurant industry and the meaning of words, like "LA BAIA" in Torre Canne - Fasano (BR). They're definitely more professional and knowledgeable in the industry.

19/09/2025: Before reviewing, I decided to go for dinner twice... excellent sandwiches, filled with fresh ingredients and, above all, filling. Good fried food. Varied selection. Welcoming place. They welcome four-legged friends. Definitely coming back next summer.

03/02/2026: The owner is rude and aggressive towards his workers, the food quality is decent and the service is modest in terms of the staff's education but slow and careless in terms of the lack of management of the business.

01/01/2026: Last night, December 31, 2025, was a relaxing evening. The place was welcoming and the staff were polite, kind, and professional. I really enjoyed the owner's presentation of the entire staff. Excellent quality food. Everything was truly superb 👍👍👍🔝🔝🔝

02/03/2026: I would have given a few more stars if it weren't for the poorly trained staff, in the sense that: they bring you the other dishes without removing the dirty plates, the food is okay but the chef needs to make peace with the salt, we kindly asked for the bill and without opening our mouths they presented it to us without even greeting or asking how the meal went.... it seems like they are doing you a favor by sitting at the table... never again... shameful

01/02/2026: Friends' recommendations are often highly subjective. They had "touted" this steakhouse as if it were the best in the world. Honestly, it was nothing special. We arrived, they sat us down at our table, ignoring us for almost half an hour, while people who had arrived after us were being served, so much so that I had to go to the waiter myself to get even a bottle of water. The meat was average, nothing extraordinary like the descriptions of those who recommended it to me. The waiters I would definitely not give an Oscar for friendliness to, and the prices, even those, were not exceptional. An experience not to be repeated.

01/03/2026: I'm very sorry to denigrate other people's work, but the laziness and arrogance of these people here is truly noteworthy. A lack of respect for the word "work." We arrived and asked for a table for three. It was 1:00 PM sharp, not particularly late. We were the only ones in the entire restaurant; we were the only ones there. We opted for a standard menu, but the appetizers arrived incomplete, and even the first course was the wrong one for what we had ordered. We didn't report it because it was a work lunch break and we didn't have time to wait for them to remake the pasta. The food was awful, the pasta overcooked. The coffee was also awful. The meat was supermarket-quality, and it was raw. We spent 30 euros each. The staff barely spoke to us, avoiding any contact with us. When it came time to get the bill, the gentleman at the cashier already had the receipt ready and simply pointed to the price with his finger. If I hadn't heard them talking to each other, I might have thought they didn't speak Italian, but they were perfectly Italian; our presence simply annoyed them. I REPEAT, we were the only ones in the entire restaurant (another couple sat down later, for a total of five covers), and it was a perfectly normal time; it wasn't late, we weren't even close to closing time for a restaurant. It's absurd to make such a mistake and perform so poorly with five covers. I understand if they were full, but today's service could have been handled better by a child (and I say this as a waiter). They simply weren't in the mood. The thought that our food was prepared with such a lack of enthusiasm and that 90 euros were stolen from us makes me truly uneasy. I just hope I don't suffer any intestinal problems.

21/02/2026: Beautiful evening, delicious pizza, excellent meat, very kind and helpful staff, the owner smiling and we immediately felt at ease, not to mention the good organization of the karaoke by Piero and Patrizia Miccolis, we will definitely be back.

10/08/2025: Siamo arrivati per primi , abbiamo preso degli antipasti e una pizza a testq, gli antipasti erano ok ma al momento dell’assaggio della pizza ho ritrovato questo sapore amaro che mi ha fatto scoprire che la pizza era completamente bruciata, l’ho fatto presente ad una dipendente che mi ha subito fatto rifare la pizza ed era visibilmente mortificata ; questo perché non è colpa dei camerieri ma di chi li ha fatto servire una pizza carbonizzata. Dopo la pizza abbiamo ordinato un gelato che ci è stato servito con i piatti delle pizze ancora sul tavolo. Davanti a noi 4 ragazzi si sono alzati e sono andata via perché erano 50 minuti che erano seduti e ancora nessuno aveva preso le ordinazioni. Vorrei comunque dire che non è colpa dei ragazzi che lavorano lì ma dell’organizzazione che c’è dietro a loro.

30/07/2025: Siamo stati ieri sera a cena, posto incantevole, cibo ottimo . Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo. Personale molto gentile e simpatico soprattutto due camerieri che hanno servito il nostro tavolo, Antonio e Davide. Grazie per la bella serata, torneremo sicuramente!!!

12/10/2025: I recently visited one evening to celebrate a birthday, but I'd been there before a few years ago. The outdoor location is beautifully maintained, featuring a beautiful interplay of colors that caress the eye, from the white of the natural stone to the green of the fragrant plants, the brown of the wooden objects decorating some corners, and the warm colors of the flowers here and there. In the evening, everything is enhanced by warm lighting that creates evocative shadows. The food, as on other occasions, is local Mediterranean cuisine with an eye for innovation, without overdoing it. Very satisfied with the evening. Beautiful by day, magical by night thanks to the play of shadows.

20/09/2025: I stayed at this masseria for a wedding and I must say it was a very pleasant event. The location is easy to reach and truly beautiful, with an elegant interior and large, well-maintained outdoor spaces. The service staff was extremely kind and always available to accommodate guests' requests. The food was simple but enjoyable, contributing to an overall positive experience and a successful day.

22/02/2026: Today, February 22nd, we went to this restaurant and we ate excellent food. I'd say it's an excellent restaurant. The owner treated us very well, and I recommend you go there. The last thing I have to say is the price: 50.00 per person, everything from Gino's appetizer to coffee. Go, you'll be happy.

30/12/2025: The food is excellent and of great quality. I finally found the clams as they should be. The peppered mussels were very tasty and made with real Taranto mussels. The tiella was traditional and well-prepared. The price was reasonable for the quality of the ingredients, perhaps a little higher than average.

08/09/2025: At 10pm, with the place half full, I'm told that the cafeteria is closed... too bad, no more breakfast there...

07/09/2025: Excellent breakfast. Clean, welcoming place, and friendly waitresses. The croissants and Lecce pastries were delicious and freshly baked.

11/01/2026: Nice and welcoming bar, very good rotisserie and pastries, very friendly staff at the counter, compliments

08/12/2025: The waiter was friendly and the aperitif was just right to accompany a nice gin... really excellent gin! Since we were outside, we were quite covered, and the patio heater did its job.

26/10/2025: Good pizzas, some forgivable flaws in the menu availability.

20/10/2025: Everything was perfect, the pizza was delicious.

20/03/2026: A place with nothing fancy. No plastic plates, at least for chips, but small paper containers...

16/03/2026: Good food, I've been there several times with my family but this time we found hair in the pucce

22/01/2026: An excellent place for breakfast, aperitifs, and dinner, it offers fresh, quality products. I've always found everything delicious and pleasing to the palate, from appetizers to main courses and desserts. Definitely worth a try.
