Cibio Cucina Biologica In Barletta

14/07/2025: A beautiful, elegant restaurant with excellent service, high-quality, beautifully presented dishes, a wide selection of wines and spirits, and prices commensurate with the quality of the food. Recommended.

28/06/2025: No discovery, just a confirmation. We had already been to this restaurant 7/8 years ago, brought by a friend who had by then well earned the nickname of “Violatour” for the good tips she gave. Her time in Margherita di Savoia had allowed her to explore the area and she spoke with pleasure of the cuisine of this restaurant, then known as Canneto Beach. Having visited the place, we realized that every taste was proof of her words. Recently, passing by Margherita di Savoia, the positive experience came back to mind. Today it is known as Ristorante Riontino, the name of the historic family that has always managed it together with a pizzeria that, instead, has kept the old name of Canneto Beach. Kind welcome with accompaniment to the dining room. Professional service and commented in the description of the dishes. As a preamble, a crust with burrata and anchovy, accompanied by a focaccia and, finally, a soft sandwich with a tasting of extra virgin olive oil of the Coratina variety, intense, fruity, slightly bitter and with its main characteristic of tingling. My favorite oil. As an appetizer, a delicious cod in a crust with mandarin sauce and lime gel and a traditional parmigiana, characterized by the addition of wild mustard greens in the layers. A local variant of parmigiana with a fine taste. For the first course, troccoli with cicadas and clams with a top of "ammollicata". For the second course, a sea bass with courgette flowers and fried artichokes, all garnished with drops of mandarin sauce, lime, berries and a trail of balsamic vinegar glaze on the artichokes. All sublime. Time passes, the family grows, but quality remains an indissoluble constant. Bravi!
