Palio Di Taranto - Tarent

Very bad service, the place dirty and they have also charged us an extra 4 euros to sit at the table to have a beer. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Terrible service, cuisine not up to the prices starter of mixed fish meatballs without the fish and paccheri with scampi which were raw rather than al dente all served with very long waiting times. Only positive side: the location. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €40–50 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4

Very nice environment, shame about the room and kitchen service and the food. We requested 1 appetizer and 3 first courses to start with. There arrived 2 appetizers (one of which was not requested) and 2 first courses. And last but not least, they also made us pay for the unsolicited appetizer. The salmon tartare was inedible, it was smoked salmon from the package cut and placed there in the shape of a tartare, very heavy and inedible. I left it there. The starters were quite good. Frying and roasted octopus for second course. The fry completely inedible. The octopus was good, maybe a little tough, but I think it was the best dish. The waitress brought the first courses after 1 hour and 45. Too much waiting time.

The view and the peace that the sea gives together with the medieval atmosphere is especially enchanting towards sunset, the location is truly excellent. Unfortunately, however, the price of €3 cover charge per person for an aperitif does not seem justified, without providing the usual chips or something to nibble on. In practice, you have to pay €3 to have a beer brought from the bar to your table. The service certainly needs to be improved while the prices need to be reevaluated.

Beautiful location, sea view near the beautiful Aragonese castle of Taranto, it's a shame that my experience was absolutely negative, non-existent service, we waited 45 minutes to be granted a look by the dining room staff, they finally set the table with placemats, but there was no cutlery and napkins. After a while they brought one saying that they would bring another one as soon as possible but they have a paper one instead of a dirty cloth one in a place cleanliness is essential, between the first and the second we left the dirty dishes on the table. The horrendous starter and first course, I have no words, frankly I don't know how the place is still open, unfortunately I can't give less than 1 star in the review, last but not least the exaggerated bill given the quality of the food the food left something to be desired, I'm sorry that a place with a beautiful view has terrible management
