I migliori ristoranti in Taranto

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

04/09/2025: Everything went wrong from the start. They sat us down at the table, and we immediately noticed a dirty glass filled with brown liquid. The waiter was very kind in promptly changing it. We then noticed that the menu included a "tasting menu" option, but no price was listed. Furthermore, once we ordered the two first courses, we had a 50-minute wait for them... and for the first half hour, we were the only customers in the restaurant. The next customers only ordered pizzas, so the kitchen's delay was unjustified. We weren't served anything to while away the wait, not even bread. Just plain water. It must be said that the first courses, once they arrived, were still good. We then decided to order two desserts. Besides the fact that none of the desserts listed on the menu were available, the "off-menu" items served (a lemon dessert and a white truffle) were of terrible quality.

01/08/2025: Everything was delicious. We were pampered and had a wonderful meal. Tasting menu: 2 appetizers, 1 first course, 1 second course, and dessert for €50 per person. Dishes were prepared with attention to every detail, with a unique flavor. I couldn't choose which appetizer was best because they were all fantastic. As were the first and second courses. Fresh, high-quality products. Thanks to the owner and Michele who served us. Kind and professional people. Highly recommended.

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

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.

27/06/2025: Very good food and a huge selection. The quality is high and the staff is very kind and helpful. Open kitchen and very clean environment.

27/09/2025: Last night we celebrated a dear friend's 80th birthday. We entrusted the catering to Artista. Michela and Alfonso arrived early and quickly set up the buffet and cake stations. They carefully arranged the food and, above all, paid attention to the aesthetics, placing lovely bowls of fresh flowers on the tables. They were kind and helpful throughout, accommodating our every request. All our guests raved about both the service and the deliciousness of the refreshments. Special thanks to Rosalia, who made the cake—it was beautiful and truly delicious! We're so happy we chose Artista!

24/07/2025: We chose to celebrate our daughter's birthday at this venue, and everything was perfect. The buffet was excellent (we loved the savory croissants and focaccia), and the cake was truly delicious.

30/08/2025: A small but well-organized space, with fast service and delicious food—a puccia with pancetta, provolone, lampascioni, etc.—with reasonable prices. It's the perfect place after a soccer game.

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

07/09/2025: Excellent bread, various types of focaccia, and a variety of appetizers. Excellent bakery.

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...

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.

12/09/2025: Exceptional sandwiches, as is the seafood pinza...excellent appetizers, although a little pricey. Lovely atmosphere.

02/09/2025: Excellent food, very nice location and very kind owner!

26/08/2025: "Pizzeria ai Portici da Ricci" was a real surprise. I tried the puccia, which was delicious—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, like it was made in a wood-fired oven. For dessert, the fried scialatielli with Nutella: a super generous portion and delicious! The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is truly welcoming. A place I recommend to everyone!

21/08/2025: Greasy and poorly cooked pizza... Unfriendly staff

13/10/2025: Excellent product quality, prices in line but staff could be improved.

08/10/2025: Welcoming place, very small portions...average price, high, half a glass €6...I can't imagine how much a bottle costs...it's fine. But I won't be back, sorry. There are better places.
