Mergellina

Trattoria Mergellina is an authentic haven for those seeking the true taste of Puglia's tradition. The €30 fixed menu is an experience in itself: rich, generous, and sincere, like the people who prepare it. It begins with a triumph of appetizers—octopus salad, marinated anchovies, salmon, red tuna carpaccio, octopus Luciana-style, peppered mussels, and raw or au gratin seafood. This is followed by a delicious and authentic first course, such as linguine with seafood or pennette "Mergellina"-style, while the second course varies often but never disappoints: fried calamari or a sperlunga of sea bass and prawns. To round it all off, a refreshing sorbet and a house dessert, often a tiramisu or a seasonal delight that changes according to the day's inspiration. But what makes this trattoria truly special are the owners, Tommaso and Pina. She, polite and attentive, moves between the tables with the confidence of someone who knows every customer, while he, in the kitchen, is the soul of the place: warm, passionate, with hands that transform simple ingredients into memorable dishes. Their welcome is genuine, familiar, never forced. This trattoria is a bastion of authenticity. You come here to eat well, but you return to feel at home. Recommended for those who want to experience a real lunch or dinner, like the good old days, with a full heart and belly.

I went on December 26th with my family for the first time. Excellent value for money. For 35 euros each we ate very fresh, abundant products, a series of appetizers (tuna, salmon, peppered, raw or cooked seafood, octopus Luciana-style, marinated anchovies, baby octopus with sauce), a seafood first course and grilled sea bream and prawns, sorbet, bitter and sweet (cheesecake or tiramisu). They also offered us a huge grilled octopus that wasn't on the menu. I would absolutely go back, it's difficult to find those products around at those prices. Really, congratulations again!

I've been coming here for years now, and it's always an experience you absolutely must try. Delicious dishes, amazing raw fish, and the hospitality makes you feel right at home. Definitely go, because if you come to Bisceglie, you can't miss this place. From Rome with love ❤️

Price, service, quantity, and quality are impossible to find in 2023! Now, with the prices we have, it almost seems like a free dinner! The atmosphere is not luxurious, but I prefer to eat well and abundantly rather than pay exorbitant prices for dishes that are only for show!

I celebrated my birthday yesterday with my family... Everything was excellent from the appetizers to the dessert... Very fresh and well cooked fish and seafood... All at the modest price of €25... I will definitely return with friends and relatives

Today we went to Margellina, polite, family place.. we had a very good time.. very good menu 2 adults and two children we paid €80 fair price.

All in all, the service, the dishes, and the location were good, considering the price per person. For six people, we paid €180 in total, which equates to €30 per person.

Very welcoming and kind staff, fresh and excellent quality products, excellent value for money. We will definitely be back
