I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Taranto

24/09/2025: We had two wonderful evenings there: delicious food, delicious wine, and excellent value for money. Beautifully located in the old town, with very friendly, English-speaking service!

12/09/2025: This is the second year I'm returning to this restaurant. The quality of the ingredients is truly excellent. The appetizer, first course, and second course are all delicious. The cuisine is typical of the area. Without spending a fortune along the Salento coast, I recommend this restaurant. My only suggestion is to have a slightly more varied selection for the children's menu.

22/09/2025: Saturday evening, reservation for 9 pm. The outside space was almost empty, perhaps that's why the wait wasn't excessive. Only 20 minutes for four pizzas. The pizzas were very good. I strongly advise against the desserts: UNSUSPECTABLE. They were obviously defrosted in a microwave, which made them both frozen and "melted" at the same time. The liqueurs, requested at the table, weren't brought to us for some unknown reason. The location is beautiful, but parking is a problem. A pass, but not a full score.

16/09/2025: We dined here on Saturday evening, so I completely understand that the service can't be excellent, given the crowd. That said, we had a reservation for 9:30 PM, a table for two. We sat down, looked at the menu, and after 10 minutes, we asked the waiter if we could order. He told us he would call the manager. The manager arrived at the table at 10:15 PM. We ordered a portion of fries, which arrived fairly quickly, and two pizzas, which arrived at 11:45 PM...yes, an hour and a half wait. Out of respect for the work of others and a great deal of understanding, we didn't leave early. That said, the location is undoubtedly beautiful, but the wait times are excessive, suggesting poor internal organization. Therefore (for example), if you have 20 tables, a single person can't manage them. Furthermore, at the table next to ours there was a family with three children who had to wait the same amount of time. Luckily, the children had fallen asleep on the table in the meantime, otherwise poor parents dealing with children who unfortunately and naturally have less patience.

21/09/2025: An experience that amazed me! Don't expect the usual restaurant and the usual dishes. It's all very good and refined. We tried the appetizers, with many specialties from both land and sea. The cleanliness of the place is impeccable. The dishes and glasses were sparkling. The staff was very polite and friendly. A place that's not at all crowded. Very simple and refined!

05/09/2025: We return to this place and it's always a surprise: so much quality, excellent raw materials used, so much courtesy and professionalism, excellent value for money. Congratulations

19/07/2025: Good food for the price, excellent and fast service, great welcome.

18/07/2025: Excellent. Impeccable service. A guarantee.

24/09/2025: Excellent experience in every way.

12/09/2025: Great restaurant frequented by locals. Meat specialists, and it showed. The quality of the food was superb, with large portions and extremely competitive prices. Good service. We went there twice. If you're in Martina Franca and like meat, you really need to try this superb, family-run restaurant. Great restaurant frequented by locals. Meat specialists, and it showed.

23/09/2025: The freshest seafood straight from the counter, cooked to perfection! We tried the cavatelli with mussels—excellent flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully blended with fresh tomato. The mixed fried seafood (calamari, cuttlefish, octopus, and shrimp) was truly unique: crispy, light, and completely oily. The shrimp were easy to eat whole, without having to clean them. It was the first time we'd tried such delicious, crispy fried seafood! We were truly impressed by how well-prepared each dish was. We paired everything with a mixed salad and a Mastro Bianco Campania white wine, a perfect pairing. The place is simple and authentic, with the atmosphere of a true Italian trattoria and friendly service. The bill for everything was €70—excellent value for the experience. It's definitely worth stopping here if you're in Taranto—we'll definitely be back!

23/09/2025: A very professional team serving delicious, absolutely fresh, and very high-quality seafood. The dining room is a bit loud, but lively. Those preferring a quieter atmosphere can dine on the terrace. Friendly and prompt service. Reservations recommended.

28/09/2025: A very well-kept and beautiful place both inside and out. Unfortunately, the only downside is the pizzas. The dough was very tough, probably not risen properly; you'd need a chainsaw to cut them. The selection of toppings wasn't particularly appealing. Only the gourmet bruschetta was good. The quality/price ratio was average.

21/09/2025: An evening to forget. The problem wasn't the food, but the absurd disrespect shown to the customers: they made us sit between the two bathroom doors. I pointed this out to the waitress, but she didn't do a thing to resolve the situation. I only stayed because we were among the first to arrive, and I already knew I'd be leaving within twenty minutes, and so I was. It wasn't an oversight, but a deliberate choice: to fill two extra seats, sacrificing the dignity of the people. This isn't hospitality, it's greed. A restaurant that treats its customers like this doesn't deserve it.

25/08/2025: Amazing place, great food and friendly staff

18/08/2025: A charming place, nestled in the Massafra ravine. Impeccable service: carefully set tables, a professional and ever-present manager, friendly and prompt waiters, and cleaning staff always ready to intervene when needed. The restaurant also offers a complimentary cake-making service and a place to change or breastfeed babies. The menu is in line with the local average. Personally, I found the meat-based appetizers better than the seafood ones. The agnolotti were divine, and the desserts were truly delicious.

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!

01/03/2025: The bartender knows his stuff, the cocktails were delicious, all in a unique and special atmosphere where you can spend a lovely evening and also get a tattoo.

28/09/2025: Dinner in a rustic setting surrounded by greenery. Excellent cheese and cured meat platter, truly appetizing mixed fried fish. Traditional home cooking. Simple, delicious, and perfectly prepared dishes. Generous portions. Excellent mixed grill. Excellent desserts. Professional, impeccable service, always attentive and friendly. Welcoming but basic interior. The outdoor space, surrounded by greenery, definitely enhances the restaurant in summer. Average price. Highly recommended!

14/09/2025: A lovely restaurant located on a small hill just steps from Avetrana, offering a beautiful view of the countryside and the coast. The food is excellent; we especially ordered the pizza, which is made with Senatore Cappelli flour and we loved it. The fried foods we ordered before the pizza were also good. Prices are a bit higher than average (especially the €3 per person cover charge, which is perhaps a bit steep).

14/09/2025: We were there today, September 14, 2025, for lunch. There were 6 of us. What can I say? Excellent overall. I would return 1,000 times over for the cleanliness, service, authentic food, and generous portions. Thank you! Mimmo, see you next time.

13/09/2025: Delicious restaurant, elegant location, excellent service, and top-quality dishes. I recommend it.
