📍 L'Osteria di Mare VELENO, Via Cialdini 21, 76121 Barletta
We were lucky enough to discover this exceptional restaurant, and frankly... it's impossible not to tell you about it!
🍽️ Their specialty? The crudi di mare completi (raw seafood) at €30 per person – a feast of flavors:
🦪 sea urchins, oysters, mussels, prawns, shrimp, squid, fish fillets... all of rare freshness and quality, in more than generous quantities.
I've never eaten such good seafood!
But that's not all...
🍝 Flavorful pasta, a divine risotto, delicious desserts... and top-notch service!
💫 All served in a charming setting, by a team that's both professional and ultra-friendly, like Chef Vincenzo, a true character: big on smiles, heart, and generosity—typically Italian, just the way we like it.
We went there twice and would have liked to go back again, but... they're closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (sob).
📞 No need to book, but if you prefer, here's their number: +39 345 45 83 452
👉 And above all, remember to say hello from Pascale and Giuseppe!
I don't often share this kind of favorite, but this one... it was impossible to keep it to myself.
An unforgettable culinary experience for a very reasonable price, with smiles and a welcome like you rarely see.
Go there with your eyes closed. You'll thank me! 😋
