Chez Jo In Bari

Typical Bari cuisine with delicious appetizers and first courses. Welcoming place, excellent value.

Excellent selection of traditional Bari cuisine. The spaghetti all'assassina is noteworthy. The desserts are sublime.

I loved it! With our vacation almost over and before returning to Sicily, I wanted to plan a surprise romantic dinner for my wife. Based on online research and recommendations from colleagues in Bari, I chose this restaurant/pizzeria. The main reason for this choice was the "SPAGHETTI ALL'ASSASSINA," which was truly SPECTACULAR!! After the spaghetti, in keeping with Apulian tradition, we ordered the classic "TIELLA BARESE," which was REALLY GOOD, made fresh and PRACTICALLY PERFECT! To finish, we tried a slice of bread with (very fresh) GRILLED OCTOPUS, which was REALLY DELICIOUS!! THE BILL (except for the octopus...) was not salty and proportionate to the dishes ordered. END RESULT: My wife asked to meet the chef to plan her third wedding... 😅😂😂

I had dinner a few Saturdays ago with my family. The service was good, the pizza was good, and the spaghetti all'assasina was good, but as they say in Bari, "they didn't give much." Given the price, I'd recommend increasing the portion of spaghetti a bit. 🍝😋 Recommended. I'll be back.
