A
Al Canale
Gaze dreamily out of the floor-to-ceiling windows over the canal, then turn your attention to the orgy of seafood you've ordered: mussels au gratin, grilled octopus, carpaccio of bream, pappardelle with scampi and grilled mixed fish. You'll barely be able to squeeze in the lemon sorbet at the end.

Trattoria Gesù Cristo
Atmospheric family-friendly place southeast of the centre with a menu of seafood that really is the catch of the day (the owners run the fish shop next door). Go for a grilling with the simplest dish on the menu: freshly grilled fish with lemon.

Balzi Blu
A local favourite on the corso, serving some 300 different wines, plus excellent pizza with an exceptional crust made from 13 different types of flour. There are great views of the old city from the summer terrace.

Pizzeria La Prima Luna
Ring to enter this furiously popular pizzeria. The candlelit tables and vaulted dining room are full of character and the atmosphere is as Neapolitan (read noisy) as the pizzas. Reservations are essential on Saturday.

Gelateria del Ponte
A tiny parlour with mountainous tubs of ice cream piled high with real fruit and nuts, and even cake (the Tiramisu flavour is sublime). Indulge in the semifreddo fetta al latte or the torrone.

Trattoria al Gatto Rosso
A relaxed and unpretentious trattoria with a real touch of class - heavy tablecloths, deep wine glasses and the like. It is located in the new town and is very popular with discerning businessmen.

Caffè Italiano
Swish as you might wish, this is a Taranto hot spot, a classy cafe with excellent foccacie, coffee and ice cream, and outside seating on the pedestrianised street.
