Perfect and friendly service, nice selection of wines. :)

In the heart of Bari Vecchia...a small bar for aperitifs and various appetizers. Wide selection of wines by the glass and bottle. Young, friendly, and smiling staff. Well done, thank you.

A truly welcoming place, with a pleasant atmosphere and attention to detail. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always attentive to customer needs, without ever being intrusive. The quality of the dishes is excellent, carefully prepared and served promptly. You can sense the passion and commitment behind everything. A place you'll gladly return to, whether for a quiet evening or to enjoy company.

I'll start by saying that the location is very beautiful and well-kept, but honestly, as a local, I was disappointed with the food served. The €24 platter consisted of two bruschettas with stracciatella and bresaola (perhaps the only tasty dish), a small bowl of raw carrots with mayonnaise that took up half the platter, a cold and unsalted turnip top calzone, a cold stuffed focaccia, and mozzarella without salt or flavor... oh, the turmeric sandwich was good. As for drinks, the Spritz was very watered down and the draft beer was flat. The menu might be acceptable for a foreigner (unfamiliar with the true flavors of Puglia), but definitely not for a local. It's a shame because the location is worth it. The service was courteous, if a little slow, but that's to be expected given the Christmas season.

We ordered four crostini with mortadella, stracciatella, and pistachios, and an Italian pinsa with four glasses of red wine. Everything was delicious. The location was quiet, and we were warmly welcomed. The service was impeccable; there were four of us at one table, and the waiters moved us to another table, which was really kind. I recommend it to everyone.

A perfect spot to have a drink, an appetizer, a glass of wine… the service is excellent!

A pleasant place with very friendly waiters who try to make your stay comfortable, which is much appreciated. The crostatines we tried were delicious.

Amazing aperol spritz and snacks (hams, cheeses, focaccias, vegetables). Everything tasted amazing, you could feel the Italian vibe after sunset with a bunch of locals having wine outside even in the cold. It's just that one of the service lady's insisted on convincing us to order more snacks than just one set since she said it wouldn't be enough for us. Another guy didn't have a single problem with a group ordering on set of snacks and was very nice
