B&B Lara Santola

A characteristic and pleasant atmosphere reminiscent of an enoteca wine bar introduces one of the most intriguing culinary offerings in the area. If seeking the most typical Apulian products, this is your address!

A restaurant bearing the surname of three brothers who crafted this gourmet Trani address: two in the dining area, one in the kitchen. An atmosphere elegant and contemporary; the service cradles guests like family, whilst Felice Sgarra at the stove astonishes with dishes sometimes drawn from Apulian traditions, as well as those from other regions, all closely interpreted and elaborated personally. If cheese is your passion, don’t miss the remarkable trolley showcasing Piedmont and French offerings.

What a fascinating historical context: the Swabian castle is right in front of the restaurant, the dining rooms, on two levels, are also within period walls, and finally there is the possibility, when the weather permits, to eat on a panoramic terrace from which you can also see the famous bell tower of Trani cathedral (as well as a table set up in a small room used as a wine cellar for dining among the bottles).

The owners' smiling welcome immediately puts customers at their ease, in a very pleasant contemporary tavern setting with light colours and vaulted ceilings. The Inspector recommends: codfish mantecato with walnut bread, bell pepper cream and caper mayonnaise; risotto with broad beans, hairy mussels and pecorino cheese from Foggia.

Overlooking a broad piazza that faces the evocative harbour basin of Trani, and a short distance from the magnificent cathedral, a masterpiece of Apulian Romanesque and enduring symbol of the city, this restaurant, modest in size yet possessed of considerable grace, has the talented Domenico Di Tondo in the kitchen. The gastronomic offering expresses clean, assured flavours and an elegant personality, favouring the catch of the day and a seafood-led kitchen that follows the arrivals closely, while not forgoing – in a nod to the restaurant’s name – some interesting meat alternatives.
