A superb discovery!! The evening had started off badly after we began exploring the old town; we turned back after 5 minutes because we felt so uneasy. But completely by chance, while passing back to the right side of town, the authentic charm, the warm welcome, the impeccable service, the freshness of the dishes, and the thoughtful touches of this little restaurant completely made us forget the beginning of the evening. Many thanks to the chef, who also speaks excellent French. Top-notch!

Clean and welcoming place. Helpful and professional staff. We ate really well. The hot seafood appetizers, the first courses were superb, and what can I say about the fried calamari and shrimp? Everything was delicious. I highly recommend a dining experience at Core. We'll be back.

The restaurant, located in the city center, overlooking the swing bridge, may seem small, but it has two floors, with clean and functional restrooms upstairs. The elongated interior is charming and inviting, with comfortable armchairs and large mirrors on the sides, making it more comfortable for those facing the wall. The staff is attentive and attentive, especially the owner, Michele, who let us choose our fish and deboned it at our table. Everything is seafood-based, starting with a varied appetizer with at least five courses, including a salad of small squid and shrimp, a fried shrimp, onion, and calamari dish set on a delicious layer of white fava beans, mussels with crostini, fried paccheri stuffed with creamed cod on a parmesan fondue, and a fish and zucchini timbale. All ingredients are fresh and well-prepared. The first and second courses, shown in the attached photos, are equally delicious. A light, very good red wine from the Pastini winery near Locorotondo.

Relaxing lunch outside. Friendly staff menus are simply seafood pasta pizza fresh fish and mussels etc. We opted to share some mussels and a marguerite pizza washed down with a bottle of wine ! Nice pizza as you would expect in Italy.
