Taverna del Porto

The Taverna del Porto in Tricase is a place where the sea and cuisine come together in perfect harmony. Located directly on the small harbour, guests can gaze out over the water while fish is filleted and octopus is grilled over the embers in the open kitchen. The atmosphere is relaxed, almost poetic: white tablecloths, natural materials, the light of the south shining golden through the windows in the late afternoon. What is served on the plates is a tribute to the region – minimalist, honest and with a sense of the moment. Raw fish, aromatic herbs, olive oil – everything seems to be in harmony with the landscape. The taverna is not a place for rushing. Here, food is served with care, eaten with calm and dreamed of with a view of the sea. An evening here is like a quiet dialogue with Apulia: warm, tasteful, unforgettable. Anyone who has been here takes something away with them – not only the taste, but also the feeling of timeless beauty that is so often missing in Apulia’s gastronomy.
