    Trattoria del Pescatore - A seafood restaurant I would come back for.

    We spent an hour wandering the streets of the historic center when we stumbled upon this local gem…read more We have no idea how this compares to the other seafood restaurants in Taranto but we enjoyed ourselves and by the looks on the other faces in the crowded dining room it looked like were were not alone. During out entire 1-2 hours here we heard not a word of English. It looked like a local joint with families and singles on dates well represented in the crowd. We were greeted at the door like we were long lost relatives and hustled right away to a table. We were presented with menus but before we could open them we were beckoned into the next room where all manner of fresh caught seafood was lying on ice. I assume they were telling us to pick out what we wanted to eat (some of the choices were still moving around) but as they spoke no English and I even less Italian they could have been telling us anything and I would not have had a clue. We picked out swordfish, calamari, bream and something else that looked adventurous. At each selection the animal was ceremoniously plucked off the ice and placed on a large silver platter. Once we were done we were led back to our table which had been adorned with bread and cutlery in our absence. We still had not opened a menu. We looked around and noticed nobody had menus and they simply told the waiters what they wanted and a few minutes later it magically appeared from the next room on silver platters for the diners to inspect. Once approved the sea creatures were then off to the kitchen and their fate. Needless to say it was delicious and as fresh a fish as I have ever eaten. And I have lived on the beach where seafood was there for the taking. Not only did we have our fill but it was the perfect fuel for our mile walk through the February night back to the hotel. Our entire bill including wine was $46.00 We would definitely come back.

    We had dinner here during our previous trip to Vieste. It was great. The couple who own and run the…read morerestaurant are an incredible duo, and work hard to make the ambiance and the food memorable. Very helpful with ordering as well. We had Cozze Ripieni (almost obligatory when in Vieste), seafood risotto and grilled calamari. All delicious and served with flair. Great local winelist to accompany the meal. They're in a unique location on the southern bluffs of the old town in a unique indoor setting. Well worth your consideration...one of the better dinner experiences we had in Vieste over two trips.

We do not speak much Italian but we were warmly welcomed by the team members. We felt like we were dining in a familiar, yet different and wonderful place. The atmosphere was bright, well decorated and warm for a September evening. All wait staff we interacted with were kind and helpful making the dining event one of the best we have had in the Apulian region. Dinners were carefully selected ( see pictures below) and prepared with care and taste worthy. Selections for all of our desires. Wine recommendations were spot on to match our dinner selections. We read some of the reviews and it was time for an updated and five star rating. If you are looking for an awesome dining experience, come try fort yourself. If we lived here it would be one of our notated favorites. Thank you for the memorable evening in Vieste!
