OMG, we just finished doing a food tour of Puglia using Mario Batali and Michelin as our guides. Fortunately, Trani, where we concluded, had no recommendations so we used TA (which in our experience is weak on restaurants) and tried this incredible place. Other reviews discuss setting and history, what needs emphasis is the uniqueness of the experience. There is... More

Yesterday evening we visited this modern looking (inside) restaurant. The reviews on Tripadvisor had made is curious. No regrets, the diner was amazing. The english speaking waiter explained everything carefully and knew a lot to tell about the food that was served. After each course we could decide if we wanted another one. That was ideal! We had the five... More

Clearly one of the best, most creative seafood meals ever. Antipasti included grilled octopus with green beans, baccala that was succulent and sweet, salmon with a cream sauce, grilled shrimp, then orecchiette with almond pesto and frutti di mare. The waitsatff were very helpful and rightly encouraged us to wait to decide on more after the primo piatto. If you... More

A beautiful restaurant with sympathetic decor in keeping with the old part of Trani but with a modern twist. Our English speaking host had great knowledge of the area and it's history not to mention advising us on wines and food combinations. He was beyond helpful and put together a bespoke menu when we explained that we didn't eat shell... More

A relative newcomer to the Trani restaurant scene is a family run restaurant opened by 4 brothers less than 12 months ago. I'm glad a friend of mine recommended this place as the food is the best in town without any doubt. Domenico (the English speaking brother) is lovely and friendly. The portions are quite generous and I was full... More

Subtle, savory and splendid! Just in case you need another reason to visit the splendid city of Trani other than the place itself, Ristorante Quintessenza should be at the top of your list.
