ristorazione — Taranto · Puglia
In Taranto, where the Ionian Sea traces the evening horizon, a family-run pizzeria keeps alive the simple, precise gesture of those who do one thing and do it well: pizza, panzerotti, fried specialities. Every night, until midnight.
On Viale Unicef, at the edge of Taranto, the door of Pizzeria Nirvana Da Orlando opens every evening at half past six. It is family-run in the most concrete sense of the term: whoever greets you knows every table, every need, every habit of those who come back. The service is attentive without being formal, available without being intrusive.
The dining room holds just a few tables — four, five at most — and outside, when the evening allows, one can sit in the open air. A measured space that calls for equally measured care: every order is followed, every guest is seen. It is the right size for those who don't want to get lost in the anonymity of a large venue.
The pizza dough is light and easy to digest, recognisable from the very first bite. The fried specialities — panzerotti above all — are prepared with quality oil, used without restraint: the result is a clean crispness, without heaviness. The panzerotti in particular have become the house's signature, to the point that whoever orders one rarely stops there.
On the page, the hours, the exact address on Viale Unicef, and everything you need to take a seat at a table at Nirvana.
