I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Taranto

02/02/2026: A small but welcoming place with attentive and polite staff. The menu features traditional ingredients prepared in a unique way. The appetizers and lasagna were very popular. Excellent value. Recommended for those seeking tradition in innovation.

09/12/2025: We chose L'Essenza in Vista for the Immaculate Conception Lunch, and the experience was truly excellent. The chef's special menu was meticulously crafted and full of authentic flavors. The land and sea appetizers were a great start: a selection of Martina Franca capocollo, blueberry burrata, and truly delicious mushroom meatballs, along with gratinated salmon cubes and cuttlefish in a creamy chickpea sauce. The portions were just right, and great attention was paid to the quality of the ingredients. The seafood cavatelli were also delicious, creamy and fragrant, as was the sea bass turban with saffron velouté, exquisitely delicate. The side dish, a baked potato, was also excellent, perfectly complementing the dish. To finish, a beautifully made puff pastry with cream and berries and a selection of fresh fruit. The service was courteous and punctual, and the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed. A perfect celebration: good food, carefully prepared dishes, and great professionalism. Highly recommended for events and celebrations!

15/03/2026: Surrounded by beautiful landscapes, we ate wonderfully, featuring traditional products showcased exceptionally well. We also stayed overnight; the rooms were clean and the bed comfortable.

06/02/2026: We only visited the restaurant for dinner. The food was locally sourced, all excellent, homemade, and the staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and always smiling. Highly recommended if you want to experience authentic flavors!

14/04/2026: Everything was great! Seafood at its best 👌 Nice view of the canal and the embankment

04/04/2026: I frequent this restaurant fairly regularly throughout the year. For this very reason, what happened this evening deserves to be reported in detail. With a reservation for two, we were assigned a table that was objectively unsuitable, nestled between others so as not to allow any privacy, in an already noisy room, despite the availability of alternatives. Our request to move was met with an unjustified refusal. In an attempt to simply facilitate a conversation, I rearranged the seating without interfering with service: this solution, too, was immediately denied. Responding to a further request, formulated politely, the owner's response was, verbatim: "Go away and never come back." This is not an incident related to the quality of the cuisine, but a structural problem in the management of hospitality: rigidity, a lack of listening, and a complete lack of sensitivity to the customer experience. In an industry like this, where hospitality is an integral part of the service, such an attitude is difficult to justify.

11/04/2026: The couple's lunch was fine, but not exceptional. Lunch consisted of peeled mussels as an appetizer, a tube of mussels in sauce, and a bigolo with clams. In detail: - Well-kept restaurant, excellent hospitality, and excellent menu presentation. - Fast and precise service. - Bland peppered mussels, mussels clearly not from Taranto, most likely Adriatic or Greek. - Tube of mussels excellent and well-balanced. - Bigolo with clams good but salty. Conclusion: It's a real shame that a place overlooking the sea and the old town, and the winner of a show that certainly gives it good publicity, misses out on the star ingredient of Taranto cuisine. Such an iconic element for Taranto cannot be replaced by anything, let alone in its own city. Sorry

08/04/2026: I went to this restaurant for the first time for a business lunch. We ate wonderfully, everything was excellent, and I made a great impression. I don't eat fish, and I was prepared to eat pasta without sauce, but they also had excellent meat options, and I ate wonderfully too. I'll definitely be back.

07/02/2026: A truly wonderful business stay. From the warm welcome upon arrival by Mr. Angelo, to the elegance of the property. The room was elegant and beautifully furnished. I look forward to staying there again.

09/12/2025: Five of us went to this restaurant for a family lunch and had a truly wonderful time. The experience was incredibly positive: quick and attentive service, and the waiter was extremely friendly and always available. We were also impressed by the food; everything was delicious and carefully prepared. The professionalism of the entire staff was evident. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

07/02/2026: The pizza was very good, the chocolate nougat was excellent.

11/01/2026: Discovered by chance, Marina Piccola Farm is a magical place that has left a lasting impression. Let's start with the welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, and perfect food. The entire menu is worth trying, featuring homemade ingredients and a great deal of care and attention to detail. A truly positive experience, thank you so much for the wonderful evening!
