Gusto In Bari

Good, fresh, and authentic food can be found in many places, if you're lucky. Opera is a surefire example, as is the courtesy expressed at all times—a word that sums up the choice and style. We were celebrating an important event for us, and the restaurant made us feel right at home with its simplicity and attentiveness. We'll be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A wonderful experience at Restaurant Opera in Bari! The atmosphere is extremely welcoming, elegant, but at the same time relaxed — the perfect place for a perfect afternoon. The dishes are stylish, delicious and carefully presented, and every detail shows the team's passion for gastronomy. We had the pleasure of celebrating with our godparents one year of marriage, and the day was truly memorable. We would like to thank from the bottom of our hearts the two adorable Romanians, Otilia and Sebastian, for their kindness, professionalism and the warm way in which they made us feel at home. A place that I recommend with all my heart — the perfect combination of refinement, taste and authentic hospitality! 🇮🇹💫

Everything was superlative! Pleasant atmosphere, excellent food, and impeccable service. The waiters Sebastian and Otilia were especially kind, attentive, and open, contributing greatly to a wonderful experience. You can feel the care for details and respect for the customers. We will definitely come back with pleasure!

Good morning, I'd like to share our lunch experience yesterday at this restaurant, which was recommended to us. The atmosphere is undoubtedly refined and welcoming, and the menu appears well-structured and interesting—perhaps with a somewhat extensive menu for a restaurant that focuses on quality. After ordering, a long wait began between courses. The appetizers were decent, but from a restaurant in Bari, one would expect higher quality, especially the fish: the octopus, in particular, was rather tough and stringy. The first courses, which could have had good potential, arrived about 25 minutes after the appetizers and were unfortunately only lukewarm. My wife and I left them almost entirely, but they were still charged to our bill. The desserts, finally, were truly bland, consumed more out of hunger than pleasure. We understand that a bad day or a difficult moment in the kitchen can happen; However, what disappointed us most was that none of the staff came to the table to apologize or explain what had happened. A simple gesture of thoughtfulness would have made all the difference. Restaurant is more than just food: it's care, listening, and respect for those who choose to sit at the table. When these elements are missing, the experience loses value—and that's not how you build credibility in this profession.

The food was delicious. Everything arrived on time, even though the restaurant was packed. It's best to book in advance to be sure of a seat.

The best restaurant I've had fish and seafood at in Bari! The service was fast, the staff is very attentive. The food was delicious! I recommend!!

We hosted a business dinner: everything was perfect, from the staff (who patiently and always smilingly accommodated all our requests), to the food (very fresh fish, delicious and unexpected dishes), to the location (welcoming and elegant). And all at a more than reasonable price. Recommended.

We recently visited Ristorante Opera during our stay in Bari, and it was truly one of the most memorable dining experiences of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the elegant yet cozy atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and happy to guide us through the menu. The menu offers a wonderful variety of Apulian specialties, all prepared with fresh, local ingredients. We tried several dishes, and each one was delicious, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced in flavor. The pasta was outstanding, and the seafood was fresh and tender. The wine list is also excellent, with carefully selected local wines that complemented the dishes perfectly. The location is convenient, and it’s lovely to take a short stroll after dinner. Overall, we felt relaxed, welcomed, and truly special. This dinner will be a lasting memory from our trip to Bari. 💡 Recommendation: If you are in Bari, don’t miss Ristorante Opera – it’s perfect for a romantic dinner or a special family occasion. Definitely worth every praise!

La persona a cui mi sono rivolto non è stata molto “ricettiva”, inoltre mancava un pezzo rispetto all’ordine fatto.

ottima qualità e puntualità nel ritiro
