L'Argenteria In Bari

L'Argenteria is a new concept store dedicated to food and beverage services. We're told the place gets its curious name from its historic purpose: for decades, these spaces have hosted the sale of all sorts of silver accessories. We're located right in the center of Bari, on a charming, traffic-free street filled with all sorts of small eateries, and we're experiencing a unique atmosphere. We chose the easiest, but also the least economical, way to get there—using the parking garage just steps away. Otherwise, finding a parking spot would have been a daunting task. The design is modern and captivating, the atmosphere welcoming; I'd describe it as minimal chic with original industrial touches. There are indoor and outdoor tables, as well as a well-stocked café and American bar. The kitchen is open to the public, and we noticed the place was tidy and clean, as well as a busy crowd. We had a great dinner, finishing with an excellent gin and tonic, which won out over an attractive dessert. I confess, the choice was a tough one. Throughout the evening, music and entertainment were well-integrated into the atmosphere. The bill? Not cheap, but fair value. They told us the place was open from morning until late, and as we left, there were still people celebrating. What can I say? Argento Vivo with 360° service.

I've dined at this restaurant several times (dinners, aperitifs, and private parties). Besides the beautiful location, with meticulous attention to detail, I've been impressed by the quality of the food (always top-notch) and the staff's meticulous attention to customer service. I highly recommend it!

Located on a busy city street, available for reservation on The Fork with the possibility of obtaining interesting discounts, we had to try this restaurant, which is resolutely refined, for our first pasta dish in Italy. We enter a monumental room with refined decoration, an intimacy preserved by a significant distance between each table, all enhanced by sparkling tableware, everything seems perfect. The choice of dishes is easily accompanied by the appetizers brought to us by the waiters, and, on the menu, we find meat and pasta specialties. We opted respectively for a Cacio e pepe and a plate of spaghetti with mussels. This is when our disappointment began: the wait seemed interminable, and, as the other customers were served, we wondered if our dishes were well prepared. It was only after 45 minutes and after calling a waiter to explain our discomfort that our plates magically arrived in just a few seconds. Unsurprisingly, the dishes were not at the temperature expected in a restaurant of this standing and it is difficult to be convinced by the relatively small quantity of food that was offered to us at such prices. In terms of composition, the mussels were surprisingly very small, and the spaghetti was swimming in a liquid that would have deserved to be thickened more. The taste was not unpleasant, however, and this is frustrating: we would have preferred slightly more generous and warmer plates for this price to fully appreciate this moment. As a result, our experience is perhaps not the most representative of what this restaurant can offer, but it is nevertheless worth reporting.

We stumbled upon it for Sunday lunch, passing through Bari, and were pleasantly surprised. The place is beautiful, clean, and tidy (even the bathroom is excellent); the staff is highly trained, friendly, and helpful, and the kitchen and dining room are very well-managed and organized. The food is excellent, with a modern twist and unique flavors that are nonetheless excellent. Even a simple salad to accompany the chicken fillet was a great experience! I recommend trying the cacio di mare. Highly recommended.

The restaurant is located near the passage. Tables are outside. Service is good. The tramisu is different from other places, served with flair. The orechiette with tomatoes is good, but is it anything special?! You can smell three types of tomatoes. Other smoke-infused pastas are also worth trying.

Food was ok, but portions are small and overpriced.

Good and well-prepared food. A bit more expensive than average, but not by much. Nice ambiance and good atmosphere. The food was beautifully presented. With a 30% The Fork discount, it's not expensive at all with three courses and a bottle of wine. The bill and the other photos speak for themselves. Everything tasted great. Many breakfasters in the morning. Lunch at lunchtime and dinner in the evening. The multifunctional character doesn't detract from the quality and tranquility of the evening.
