Allegrezza In Bari

If you are looking for a culinary experience that takes you straight to the beating heart of Puglia, but with a touch of... let's say, raw authenticity, then this is your gastronomic Eden! The location is simply fantastic, a true jewel nestled who knows where, that almost makes you forget why you are there. The food? Oh, the food! It is honest, it does its job with the diligence of a public employee on a Friday afternoon. Don't expect flights of fancy of flavor, but not emergency landings either. It's there, and you eat. But, my dear foodies, the real highlight, the rare pearl of this place, is the staff. Run by a mother and her daughters, this female team offers a show that would deserve a permanent place at the cabaret. You will find them all sporting sportswear that has seen more battles than a war veteran, and a courtesy that makes you regret the brusque ways of a station master at rush hour. The funny thing is that, in their magnificent unconsciousness, they think that no one understands them. And there, between a plate of orecchiette and a glass of wine, they will give you pearls of popular wisdom such as: "Bring them a beer", pronounced with the grace of a grizzly bear and the subtlety of an elephant in a china shop. Each sentence, a little essay on human psychology and customer management. In short, if you are tired of the usual forced smiles and the whispered "is everything okay?", this is the place for you. I assure you, you will leave the place with a goofy smile plastered on your face and some hilarious anecdotes to tell. An experience highly recommended for lovers of involuntary folklore and the most genuine humor. I hope this version is more in line with your desire for sarcasm and humor! Let me know if you like it or if you want other adjustments.

We arrived by chance looking for a place to try orecchiete and stumbled upon the best. Excellent service. Real Italians cooking the pasta. Super affordable prices.

An incredible place, the food is exquisite and they are very friendly and economical

For many years we buy kilos dried tomatoes. They have penne and many authentic goods.

Delicious pasta and house wine!

Welcoming and characteristic restaurant in the charming historic centre.

We ended up by chance in a small street in the historic center and found this simple and rustic place, also frequented by locals. Exactly what I was looking for! 🤩 The focaccia was delicious, the panzerotti too, and the staff super friendly. Plus it's really cheap, with prices that aren't touristy at all. A nice discovery that I recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
