Reviews Summary
Ristò Fratelli Pesce is highly praised for its exceptionally fresh seafood and delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. Diners frequently commend the friendly and professional service, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

"On the edge of the old city of Taranto, near Piazza Fontana and Ponte di Pietra, you will find the restaurant Risto dei Fratelli Pesce.
Efficient service, very friendly and helpful staff. The owner was very friendly.
We were 2 people: starters for 2 (consisting of 6 courses including salt cod, friselle with amberjack pate and olives, prawns in filo pastry and mussels au gratin) to which we added 2 local oysters; as first courses, I had the calamarata while my wife chose a trio of tartare. Two glasses of wine accompanied everything. We closed with two coffees and two bitters. All truly excellent. The final bill was 95 euro."

"We had a reservation made by the hotel. When we arrived at the restaurant there was a small debate about the table we had, but in the end we stayed outside and I highly recommend to do so if you come here.
The oysters are delicious, the catch of the day is brought to you at the table and you cand choose. I had 2 types of fish caught in that day. The staff is friendly and very helpful.
The wine is good.
So, try this restaurant and you will not regret it!"
