Al Trabucco da Mimì

Top choice in Peschici


Mimì sadly passed away in 2016, but his extended family keep this delightful place ticking. Sitting on wooden trestles beneath the trabucco (a traditional Pugliese wooden fishing platform) you'll eat the freshest seafood, prepared with expertise but no fuss, as you watch the sun sink behind Peschici. Local Gargano craft beers complete a relaxed experience. Bookings are recommended for weekends.

There are three simple rooms for rent, at €50 per person. There's also occasional live music (usually jazz) and aperitivo in summer.
