As you step into Gallo restaurant in Trani, Puglia, you are instantly greeted by beaming smiles and positive energy. Now, I know what you're thinking—how on earth did we score a table for four without a booking? Well, that's the magic of Gallo, a place so beloved by locals that finding a spot, even on a nonchalant Monday lunch, is like stumbling upon the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Lesson learned: next time, we're booking ahead!
The wine list at Gallo is nothing short of epic. Four pages of champagne, half bottles for all wines, and an impressive lineup of Italian wines from every region imaginable. And the best part? It's all fantastic value! Trust me, deciding on wine here is more challenging than choosing your favourite dessert.
The service at Gallo is impeccable—it's like a well-rehearsed symphony, with each team member seamlessly in tune with the other. Their knowledge of wines and local cuisine is like having your own personal culinary encyclopedia but with a charming Italian twist. They're kind and helpful and make you feel like you're part of their gastronomic family.
Now, onto the main event: the food. Gallo is a seafood paradise, showcasing the local catches of the day as if they were precious jewels on display. Every dish we savoured, from the appetizers to the divine desserts, was a symphony of flavours. It's the kind of place where you can close your eyes, point at the menu, and still end up with a masterpiece on your plate.
As if all that weren't enough, the restaurant's ambience is like stepping into a time machine, whisking you away to another era with its stone interior and charming, rustic charm. Or, if you prefer, you can sit at the front and soak in the breathtaking views of the Adriatic, feeling like a part of the local fisherman lifestyle for a moment. It's the kind of setting that makes you want to linger, savouring every moment and every morsel.
