Osteria Calvi In Altamura

What about a restaurant reported by the Michelin Guide. It speaks for itself. You just have to book, sit down and order... THE RAW FISH. Gilardot oysters, king langoustines, prawns, and ladies and gentlemen...his majesty the sea urchins. Never eaten raw fish like this. The scampi were delicious and gigantic, the oysters very fresh...but the sea urchins....my lords, the sea urchins...a spectacle for the palate. Accompanied by Altamura breadcrumbs, they are a perfect combination for the palate. And then we had many other things including tuna tartare, seared tuna, bruschetta and much more that I can't remember now. Chilled Salento white wine and...a nice 100-odd euros per person and at home. But you want to put quality! If you want quality you have to pay otherwise buy the fish and stay at home.🤣

Fantastic food! Great service. Loved the experience.

I have known this restaurant for a long time and I am really pleased with the growth and the excellent work done this year. A regular stop for me when I'm in the area.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Calvi Restaurant, located in Altamura, in the province of Bari. My experience was extraordinarily positive, so much so that I felt obliged to share my review for this culinary gem. Food Quality The fish-based menu of the Calvi Restaurant is a real delight for the palate. Every dish I tasted was prepared with the freshest, highest quality ingredients. The fish, in particular, was exceptionally flavorful and well cooked. Among the courses I tried, the seafood appetizers stand out, rich in authentic flavors, and a seafood risotto that was simply perfect, with rice cooked just right and a well-balanced combination of flavors. Service The service was impeccable. The staff at the Calvi Restaurant proved to be professional, attentive and friendly, always ready to satisfy every request with a smile. Knowledge of the menu and the ability to suggest perfect pairings made the culinary experience even more pleasant. Atmosphere The atmosphere of the restaurant is familiar and welcoming, creating a relaxing and pleasant environment. The furnishings are simple but refined, with details that reflect the love for the sea and local tradition. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel at home, perfect for both a romantic dinner and a meal with friends or family. In conclusion, the Calvi Restaurant in Altamura is a place that I highly recommend to all lovers of fish and good food. The combination of high-quality food, excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere makes this restaurant a must-visit for anyone in the area. I can't wait to go back!

We were supposed to drive from Matera to Ostuni but decided to do a slight detour to enjoy lunch at Calvi Ristorante in Altamura which has a Michelin star. We had the yellow tail tuna as starter (very nice but slightly too sour) together with home made bread (very tasty), warm bone marrow combined with cold steak tartar (truly great), linguine with red prawn (fantastic), tuna steak as main (ok but not any special) and pistachio ice cream as desert (made in heaven). All in all a great lunch and nice to be able to talk to Chef Calvi. He and the staff don’t speak a lot of English but who needs to talk with superb food like this!

Calvi non è un semplice ristorante, è vivere il cibo in modo sublime. È un viaggio attraverso le sensazioni gustative alla ricerca dell’esplosione del sapore. Si inizia dal loro pane preparato con lievito madre, (sì siamo nella città del pane, ma non fatevi sfiorare minimamente dal pensiero che altrove ne troverete uno simile), accompagnato da un ottimo olio pungente al punto giusto. Abbiamo poi proseguito con pane bao e mazzancolle, un retrogusto vincente, magnum di pollo impanato, croccante e gustoso, due primi di cui un piatto della tradizione italiana, pasta patate e provola e paccheri con una crema di pistacchio che si equilibra perfettamente col guanciale croccante. Ed infine il mio piatto preferito, midollo con tartare. Qui ci vorrebbe una recensione a sè. E vi consiglio dell’altro pane per esplodere di felicità ad ogni boccone. I dolci sono buonissimi ma non fatevi mancare mai, e dico mai, il gelato al pistacchio fatto dalle mani eccelse di Donato. Dopo averlo assaggiato sarete consapevoli di non aver mai assaggiato davvero il pistacchio. Quanto al sommelier del commento precedente… c’è, ed è anche molto preparata. La scelta dei vini è vincente. La scelta del personale altrettanto. Si preoccupano e ti seguono ad ogni passo. Attenti e scrupolosi. Calvi non è per tutti. Ma solo per chi vuole gustarsi un piacere che va oltre il cibarsi. Consigliatissimo. Giuny e Domenico

Buongiorno Premetto che non conoscevo questo posto quindi è stata una piacevole novità per me e per tutta la mia famiglia Piatti eccezionali Tutto ben curato Anche la semplice focaccia o il loro superbo pane accompagnato da un olio spettacolare ti lasciano intendere che stai in un locale veramente delizioso Noi abbiamo assaporato antipasti primi secondi e dolce…che dire una meraviglia Non potrei dire cose mi è piaciuto di più ma il PANE FRITTO CALVI, POLPETTE DI CARNE AL SUGO, PARMIGIANO REGGIANO 22 MESI che potrebbe sembrare una cosa semplice è una cosa eccelsa Ci tornerò sicuramente Complimenti allo staff serie e molto preparati
