kaori Japanese Restaurant In Barletta

We returned to Kaori after the change of management. The welcome was immediately pleasant, and the atmosphere suited the setting, with just the right amount of lighting that didn't tire us out throughout the entire dinner. We mostly love eating at the counter, and here we immediately met Thiago, a Brazilian-born chef with experience at various sushi restaurants, including Nobu Milano. Speaking with him, we immediately understood his passion for his work and his dedication to listening to his customers' needs. The right amount of dialogue and surprises the chef offers are crucial to the omasake experience, and in our case, we also share his love for citrusy, bolder flavors, unlike the current trend at most sushi restaurants, making the dishes extremely sweet with the magical soy sauce that covers everything. In short, the perfect blend of Oriental and local flavors that the Kaori staff manages to convey.

The food is incredibly good, the service is excellent, and everything is very fresh. The wait times are minimal, and the service is always attentive and friendly. You're truly well done, because you're excellent chefs and fantastic company: the food is good and you feel right at home. Compliments to all the staff, we'll definitely be back.

I'm Roby, the singer from Los Locos, and I was here for dinner with friends. Kaori in Barletta is undoubtedly one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever tried. The place is beautiful, with meticulous attention to detail and a welcoming atmosphere that makes the experience even more enjoyable. The fish is incredibly fresh and top-quality, evident immediately in its texture and flavor. Each dish is prepared with great care, elegantly presented, and truly inviting. From the sushi to the hot dishes, everything was impeccable. The staff is exceptional: friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to recommend or explain the various dishes. Their passion and professionalism are evident, something rare these days. In conclusion, Kaori is a must-try for lovers of good sushi. Highly recommended! An experience worth repeating.

A unique place, always top-notch and with unparalleled attention to detail. Unique and unparalleled quality.

The sushi was okay, nothing special, the ingredients were good, but there wasn't much to add to the flavor. There were no sauces that would enhance the flavor of the ingredients or the fish. Unfortunately, the rice was weak and translucent, and after dipping it in soy sauce, the sushi fell apart. As for the miso ramen, it clearly lacked flavor. I had to add soy sauce to get a better taste of the dish. Unfortunately, my expectations via email were much higher than this place. The price was clearly overpriced considering the taste. The tempura was delicious, I recommend it! A major drawback was the lack of paper towels in the restroom, for which I have to take one star off. For a restaurant of this caliber, that's a huge mistake.
