Le Bonta del Poveresito In Castellana grotte

15/01/2026: Fried polenta with the right crispiness BUT completely unsalted. The service was quite rude. I gave it 5 stars because it's on a street in Bari.

11/01/2026: I've been there several times and have never been disappointed: a true must-try for Bari street food! The sgagliozze are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, warm and fragrant, with that irresistible aroma that greets you as soon as you enter the alley. The place is small, with no seating, so it's perfect for grabbing a bite and enjoying it right away, keeping a safe distance from the boiling oil. Despite its simplicity, the atmosphere is typical of Bari Vecchia: you hear the Bari dialect spoken by the owners and staff, and a smile inevitably escapes your face. The staff is friendly, quick, and always available, even when it's crowded. The value for money is exceptional: little to spend, lots of flavor. Every time I pass through Bari, stopping by Maria delle Sgagliozze is an absolute must. Highly recommended!
