Antica Cucina 1983 In Barletta

A promise to return, kept. The same result: great food, excellent service, and great attention to gluten-free options. Happy egg: always. Croissant artichoke: ........ The chef's entree: delicious. The cassata for dessert is not to be missed. Everything perfect

An ultra-relaxing midweek lunch, lulled by the sober and elegant ambience of this gem of a restaurant.

When I long for lunch or dinner, delighting my palate with locally sourced products revisited with a modern twist, Lello and his Antica Cucina come to mind. An elegant, welcoming location, not overly pompous but tastefully furnished, with an exceptional host: Lello, a delightful, professional, and delightful person, pampers and entertains guests with his anecdotes, while discreetly entertaining them. All this is expertly complemented by the kitchen staff (including the great Chef Pino) ​​and his dining room staff, specifically Ciccio, an excellent wine list advisor and more, and Nicola, a very kind and attentive waiter! Succulent, varied dishes of exceptional quality, seasonal and made with the ingredients that motherland Puglia offers, both land and sea, including raw seafood! L'Antica Cucina is a great culinary discovery in the city of the challenge, the perfect combination of food and art!

Worth it, in every way. The food has delicate yet bold flavors, the friendliness is excellent, and the atmosphere is sophisticated.

It's a luxurious place, but at the same time the owner and staff are polite and make you feel at home. Excellent food.

Excellent food and qualified staff

We decided to celebrate Valentine's Day a few days early, and we couldn't have made a better choice. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were being constantly pampered: a warm, discreet welcome, and a level of customer service that's rarely seen. The food was simply perfect: each course was an incredible balance of flavors, and you could clearly taste the attention to detail. It was a magical evening where we felt pampered from start to finish. If you're looking for a place where quality cuisine meets a truly special atmosphere, this is the place. Thank you for making our moment so unforgettable.

A meticulously maintained restaurant, where you immediately feel at ease thanks to the attentive staff, who never seem intrusive. Sublime dishes, of the highest quality, are served with perfect and attractive plating. A place for important occasions.

We ate really well, with tasty dishes prepared with great care. The food was excellent quality and the portions well-balanced. The place is very well-kept, welcoming, and pleasant. You can feel the passion in every detail, from the presentation to the flavors. It was a truly positive experience; we will definitely return and recommend it.

The atmosphere is very welcoming, the seats are very comfortable, and the staff is friendly, professional, and never pushy. We were greeted with a delicious black chickpea soup... then the appetizer was excellent, both in terms of ingredients and execution... the octopus and artichoke... the first course was average... the orecchiette with turnip tops... the fish-based second course was good, but... not as amazing as the appetizer... the house desserts were also excellent.
