Formal and welcoming location, friendly staff, excellent food, especially the first course:
a spectacular "assassina"
served in a fiery pan...in the end, even the bill was satisfactory...

"Big Luciano" and his friendly family run this restaurant, which is a meeting point for football lovers, especially Bari fans. Luciano is an expert on Brazil and South America. The food is wonderful, prepared by the lovely mamma and papà! Unmissable!
Piero, his right-hand man, is pure friendliness!

I found the restaurant especially nice for tourists. There aren't too many customers, which is a shame because you can eat so well and quickly in this restaurant. The service is friendly and speaks several languages, which is good for ordering. The food is great and is served super quickly. Therefore, 5 stars, definitely worth a visit.

Open for dinner everyday except on on Monday, La Svolta is, to me (and I am Italian) pretty much what makes eating in Italy great! The owner is very friendly, the food is amazing (I strongly suggest you try the Bari specialties like orecchiette alle cime di rapa and riso, patate e cozze) and the prices are right. This is what Italian food is all about - forget fancy restaurants, here is where it's at!

A very pleasant restaurant near Bari Central Station. The staff is very friendly, and I was immediately given a table on the terrace.
The pizzas are delicious, as is the salad with lettuce, tomato, and tuna. The prices are very affordable: €17 for pizza, salad, drink, and bread.
Highly recommended!

La Svolta is definitely one of the best restaurants in Bari. Great food, great atmosphere, and fantastic service! And the pistachio pesto pasta (photo below) is one of the best pastas I've ever had! We've been to La Svolta four times, and each time the food was very, very good!

Who ate the best pasta of my life!
We came from Argentina, spent 4 days in Bari, and two of those days we chose to eat here because it was spectacular!!! The pasta all'assassina is a must-try 💘
