ristorazione — Trani · Puglia
In the heart of Trani, a short walk from the cathedral overlooking the sea, Via Elena Comneno conceals a place where contemporary cooking measures itself against tradition: vaults in local stone, a bright dining room, and a menu that will not leave indifferent anyone with a weakness for fresh pasta.
Once past the threshold, barrel vaults in Trani stone shape a bright, carefully tended space, far from anything improvised. The historic centre is not mere backdrop: it is the natural setting for a place that has chosen to root itself in an alley of the old quarter, to tell a cuisine that takes its Apulian roots seriously.
Running the dining room and the kitchen are Veronica and Rosario, a couple in life and in work. She at the stove, he among the tables: a young management style that comes through in the attention to detail, in the direct hospitality, in the care with which every dish is thought through even before being prepared. A place that carries the weight of those who truly believe in it.
The house's manifesto is handmade fresh pasta: the agnolotti del plin with roasted meats, which more than one review points to as a dish worth the trip, are made every day through Veronica's artisan work. Alongside them, tagliatelle with mushrooms and sausage and raw seafood dishes — a cuisine that navigates between land and Adriatic without losing its bearings.
From shrimp tartare to a reinvented vitello tonnato, alongside a wine list that brings together reds, rosés and whites from Puglia: the page tells every detail.
