Da Tuccino

Da Tuccino – A True Gem by the Sea ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been to Da Tuccino several times, and it never disappoints. One of the oldest and most respected restaurants in the region, it combines impeccable service with truly outstanding seafood. The location is perfect — right across from the sea, with beautiful views that set the tone for a memorable meal. The seafood is as fresh as it gets, and every dish is prepared with real mastery. All the pastas are unbelievably tasty — I had pasta with sea urchins, and it was simply fantastic. They also offer gluten-free and lactose-free options, which is a big plus. My daughter had the lobster pasta, and it was truly a work of art. We love the atmosphere here — elegant yet warm and welcoming. It may not be the cheapest place in the region, but great quality comes at a fair price, and here you absolutely get what you pay for. Highly recommended to anyone who loves exceptional seafood and fine dining. We will definitely be back again and again!

Incredibly fresh and delicious seafood! The quality of the seafood is outstanding. We had the langoustines, giant prawns and scallops au gratin for starters. For mains, my wife had the gnocchi with sage and baby clams while I had the black orchetti with zucchini, clams and shrimp. Everything was absolutely delicious! Even the panna cotta dessert was spot on. Service was prompt and attentive, all while enjoying a beautiful ocean view. In short, a 10/10 experience!

You have been dreaming of a super fish restaurant where service is by super-skilled waiters, you would fing nice ambience and sea food on point? Then you would find here the place in heaven. Only reality: sea food and high-quality has its price, but fair enough. Very convenient: terrace with sea view and own parking place just 40 meters down the road.

THE BEST fish restaurant in all of Italy! Should be Michelin ⭐️! Came back to experience it again. #jawdropping food. Spectacular service. Wines of the Salento. Gamberino al ghiacho, flash boiled fresh prawn sushi on ice. Roasted purple Gallipoli prawns in butter and salt. Squid ink orecchiette with shrimp, clams, zucchine. Linguine al astice-- lobster linguine in tomatoes, butter, lobster shell sauce, homemade spumoni bombette, coffee gelato cake. This place should be on your list and make reservations way ahead. We will returning many times. And stay at Le 3 di Tuccino. 🤩

The best seafood restaurant in Pulia. It a starts with excellent raw seafood. The pasta dishes are delicious and original. The wine recommendations were perfect! The sea view from the restaurant is amazing and the breeze is so good that you don’t need air conditioning. Highly recommended!!

Really a must visit when coming to Puglia. Thank you for an amazing dinner. Also there is a parking reserved for the guests!

Went for the tasting menu - good all round. Specialty is the raw seafood which was good, but not something I’m used to regularly. The freshness was clear! Found the hot dishes a little mundane - the pasta primi was a little underwhelming and the main course fish was well cooked, but the potato slices it was topped with were not cooked through and still crunchy. Enjoyed it, and glad I went but wouldn’t rush back.

As good a fine dining experience as you’ll find in Polignano. Excellent service and the food is exceptional. We didn’t have time for the full tasting menu so we opted for a number of dishes that we shared as a table, the highlight being the black orecchiette. In addition, the wine list is very good. A definite highlight. As usual, skip the dessert and opt for the legendary polignano gelato.

My wife orders spaghetti with clams any time she sees it on a menu, and she said this was maybe her favorite of all time. The raw shellfish tasting was amazing but we probably should've done one instead of two.

If you cannot enjoy a relaxing meal at Da Tuccino, then you (a) can't relax, (b) don't know good food, (c) don't like seafood (d) all of the above. Perfect setting, amazing seafood and pastas, wonderful service and you're in Italy. Not cheap, but given how good it is Da Tuccino is worth every Euro. Mangia!!

We had dinner here for 8 people, and in spite of having restless kiddos, the waitstaff was accommodating and kind. All the dishes we ordered were fantastic, from my langustine and uni ragu on paccheri pasta to squid ink pasta for others, everything was well done. The view from our table of the Adriatic Sea topped this experience off as a must-see for travelers and locals alike wandering through Puglia.

We had a fabulous meal! The view is gorgeous, parking is easy, and the service great. However, the draw is really the seafood. Between six of us we tried 10 different dishes, and each was expertly prepared, nuanced in flavor and beautifully presented. My personal favorite was the orecchiette with shrimp and shredded squash blossoms garnishing the top. It's worth the splurge.

A truly hidden gem. Difficult for the average tourist to find. This place is one of the top 10 Resturant's in Europe. And after having a meal here I can see why. The absolute best sea food I have ever had in my life. You do need a reservation months in advance so I recommend doing so. It's not easy to find but well worth the effort
