The story

Al Trabucco da Mimì in Peschici Honors Half a Century of Puglian Seafood

A Legacy Built on Salt and Timber

Al Trabucco da Mimì in Peschici anchors its Puglian seafood cooking to a tradition established by the Ottaviano family in 1975. They converted a historic wooden fishing platform into a working kitchen that still operates today. The team strips away pretension to highlight daily catches pulled directly from the Adriatic. This straightforward method shapes every coastal Italian recipe served during the week.

Plates That Follow the Tide

The kitchen builds its menu around simple pairings that respect local ingredients. Carpaccio del giorno arrives alongside hand-cut tagliatelle tossed with white prawns and wild rock herbs. Seared broad shrimp rest on a rich bisque accompanied by fried peppers and Catalan tomatoes. This consistent quality earned the Faccino Contento + distinction from ilGolosario Ristoranti in 2026.

Sunsets Over the Water

Dining here means sitting on a structure suspended between the shoreline and the open sea. The outdoor terrace catches the afternoon light until the sun ignites the water below. Summer evenings often feature live jazz performances that complement the natural rhythm of the coast. The family maintains a relaxed pace throughout service, allowing guests to watch the fishing boats return rather than rushing through courses.
