Quintessenza

We are staying the last years on new year in Trani. This year we visited Quintessenza for the first time. What a blast! What a fantastic place and Team. Not one but two menus which are a culinary feast. We visited two times to expierence the full range of Tastes. The Wine pairings were both Times absolut great. Saverio is an expert with his range in the Cellar. With him and his Brother Domenico in the service, we had such a great time. We left this restaurant with the feeling of Family and Bonding together. Stefano and Alessandro are Masterchefs. What they and their team prepared on our dishes was outstanding and counts in the Hitlist of the best Restaurants we ever visited. Guys,thank you for this expierience and the great feelings we had. We will see again. Gunther and Carolin

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 So good, we went twice – a true culinary gem in Trani! Quintessenza absolutely impressed us. The dishes are refined, creative, and deeply rooted in Apulian tradition. Every detail – from the ingredients to the presentation – was perfectly thought out and beautifully executed. We ended up dining here twice during our stay because it was simply that good. A special thanks to Domenico, who took care of us both evenings – professional, warm, and genuinely passionate about his work. His service made the experience even more memorable. The atmosphere is calm, elegant, and welcoming – the perfect setting for a truly special evening. If you love exceptional food and thoughtful service, this place is a must. Highly recommended!

We tried the tasting menu without the wine pairing and loved it - you might think portions are too small but it all adds up in the end. We also had a private tour of the restaurant and surroundings which we appreciated a lot. We could feel the effort and passion staff puts into it🫶🏻

I had a delicious lunch. Such kind people- it's a family restaurant with a Michelin star. I had, truly, one of the best lunches in my life.

Outstanding service from all the team, with a shout-out for Domenico who was knowledgeable, informative and generous with his time in discussing the food, wine and all matters Pugilese. The local red wine, San Valentino from Villa Schinosa, was excellent and perfect accompaniment for the deer. The amusés were beautiful and a taste sensation; the starter of tuna was outstanding with a melt in the mouth texture; the scampi was delicate accompanied by gossamer thin seaweed crackers; Gargano to Salento was a rolled offal dish, with a rich but well+balanced flavour; the deer with cherries and beetroot carpacio was so tender, well seared but pink in the middle; and as for the Apulian Farmer's breakfast dessert (shared)......such simple ingredients, perfectly prepared and elegantly presented. A memorable evening and at €200 a reasonable price for both location and quality.

This is one of those experiences you don’t want to miss! Everything was great - food, wine list, location, atmosphere, service - perfection! Dishes with lots of miles behind and food made with love. Absolutely loved it!

One of the best dining experiences we have ever had! This beautiful venue is host to a team of amazing staff who are truly passionate about what they do. The food was delicious! We had the tasting menu and went for wine pairing too, every dish was full of flavour and the simple use of fantastic ingredients along with perfect seasoning and finesse in the delivery of each plate of food made for an overall five star meal. The wines were both unusual and tasty and each wine went well with the dish it was presented with. We started with a fantastic local sparkling wine as well which blew us away! The staff were so attentive, friendly and smiling and taking care of our every need and question. We would highly recommend this as a must visit restaurant if you have the budget and are visiting Trani!

As I reflect on my visit to this place, I find myself struggling to find the right words to describe it. The beauty of every detail is strikingly impressive, especially the food they serve. I haven't come across another place that even comes close to matching the excellence of this one. The table at the winery is an experience that you simply can't afford to miss. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you'll cherish forever.
