Lido San Francisco reveals a tranquil, almost melancholic side in winter. Without the summer crowds, the beach feels vast, clear, and pleasantly empty. The sea is fresh and clean, the grounds well-maintained, even if many things are closed for the season. A beautiful place for a quiet stroll, fresh air, and a view of the wintry Adriatic.

The restaurant is very beautiful, well-kept, and spacious. The fish is very good, fresh, and caught (not farmed). The prices are fair for what you get, perhaps slightly above average, but at the end of the meal, you won't find it excessive.

An excellent experience at Lido San Francesco in Bari.
We were a group of nine, and despite the restaurant being very busy, the atmosphere was relaxing and we were able to chat easily. The place is well-kept and welcoming, even inside, but in the summer, the seafront location offers a truly breathtaking view.
We all ate very well: the pizzas are excellent, made with quality ingredients, and a special mention goes to the gluten-free pizza, which was truly delicious and appreciated even by those who compared it to the traditional version.
Because it's a very touristy place in the summer, pizza prices are slightly higher, but the quality and overall experience fully justify them.

Excellent food, especially the fish, with original and delicious specialties.
Very good pizza with crispy but flaky crust and excellent toppings.

Perfect beach day, a real beach resort! This place is no longer just a beach, but a true beach resort, where you can spend an entire day at the beach in total relaxation. It's incredibly convenient, avoiding having to drive 1,000 km to reach places like Bari or Monopoli. The service is impeccable, especially the housekeeping, which is constantly monitored. And last but not least, the food is excellent too! Highly recommended for a quality beach break. Feel free to ask for Cristina on my behalf!

A restaurant where you eat divinely, from appetizer to dessert.
We were there yesterday and chose a seafood lunch. The raw fish was sublime, the spaghetti with creamed turnips, clams, and exceptional bottarga, and the sea bass melted in your mouth.
Dessert was also noteworthy: a ricotta cake with a crunchy biscuit base served at room temperature, almost warm, and absolutely delicious.
We'll definitely be back.
Compliments to the entire staff.

We were there in the off-season. There was a lot of seaweed on the beach; it seems they clean it daily during peak season. Many houses behind the beach were still under construction. Still, it was a nice beach for a city beach. It's a lovely spot outside the city center.
Almost all the sun loungers and such had been taken down. The restaurant was open and is highly recommended.

A surprising seaside dining experience: the Lido San Francesco restaurant deserves special mention for the quality of its seafood and its relaxed atmosphere.
While Lido San Francesco is known for its large city beach and well-organized beach services, it's the cuisine at its evening restaurant that truly stands out. In a casual and tranquil setting, far from the tourist crowds, we enjoyed a seafood dinner that exceeded all expectations.
The menu offers simple yet carefully crafted dishes, using the freshest ingredients and expertly prepared by a skilled chef. From appetizers to main courses, each course exudes authentic attention to flavor, without artifice or excess. Seafood is the absolute star: fresh, well-cooked, served with grace and without unnecessary frills. An example? The seafood scialatielli, also mentioned by other reviewers, are a small masterpiece of balance and intensity on Tripadvisor.
The service is friendly and discreet, perfectly in keeping with the atmosphere of the place: no formality, but genuine attention to the customer. The seaside setting adds a poetic touch to the evening—dining with the sound of the sea in the background and the sand just steps away is a luxury that needs no ostentation.
