Risto & Pizza La Soddisfazione In Bari

Extremely fresh raw seafood, first courses with generous portions and reasonable prices. Quiet location, discreet service. I'd only tweak a few details, but that doesn't affect the service provided by the wait staff, who were always available to accommodate our requests.

The maître d' (Giuseppe) and his staff on Saturday evening work in a PRECISE AND COORDINATED manner. He leaves nothing to chance. You can tell he has experience in the field. The tables are always tidy, clean, and there's a recycling process. No waiting... It's my first time here, and I'm pregnant. They didn't make a single mistake (as a former waitress, I really noticed their professionalism). We sat down and they immediately brought water and bread, essential for a good start. We had a small appetizer of mozzarella and prosciutto (which my husband ate), two dishes of assassina, one with and one without stracciatella, truly excellent, and a Gratè pizza. Excellent quality... Assassina, just the right amount of crunch! For a first-time visitor, we were extremely satisfied, even though we're from a small inland town. In fact, this place was recommended to us by friends from Bari. We booked a table and it was available within minutes. Highly recommended! We'll be back....

Thanks to Massimone for serving us so well! Highly recommended and excellent value for money.

A fairly disappointing experience. We arrived around 9:00 PM and, after a very short time—without even having a chance to carefully peruse the menu—we were immediately asked to order. From the start, we sensed a rather insistent atmosphere and a constant feeling of rush. The table location also proved uncomfortable: we were seated in a corner next to the wine fridge, and the waiters, when serving drinks, were forced to practically stand over our table, making the situation even more uncomfortable. Throughout our stay, we had the distinct impression that we needed to finish quickly. The staff frequently stopped by to check on the table, and as soon as we finished our pizza, the dish was taken away immediately. In about half an hour, we consumed our appetizer, pizza, and dessert, more due to the perceived pressure than any real choice. To make things even more unpleasant, we heard a waiter say, "Are these guys still here?" An unprofessional comment that made us feel like we were causing a disturbance or being inappropriate. The only positive aspect was the food, which we found good. Unfortunately, however, the service and general atmosphere made the experience less than pleasant. I hope things improve in the future.

"La Soddisfazione": where quality meets heart. If you're looking for a place where food isn't just nourishment, but a true act of hospitality, La Soddisfazione is a must. From the first moment, you'll know you're not just in a restaurant, but in a temple of taste run with passion. What makes this place special: * Excellent Ingredients: The difference is noticeable at first bite. The use of fresh, local, and top-quality products elevates every dish, from the fragrant pizza to the restaurant's main courses. You can sense the close connection to the region and the meticulous sourcing of ingredients. * Incredible Variety: The menu is a culinary journey capable of satisfying every palate. Whether you're a lover of tradition or seeking new flavors, the selection is vast and never boring. * Impeccable Service: The staff is fast, attentive, and always available, creating a convivial and relaxed atmosphere. The real added value, however, is the management. Special praise goes to Giuseppe, whose dedication is touching. He doesn't just welcome guests: he guides you, advises you expertly, and literally "pampers" each guest. It's rare to find such attention to detail and such a sincere desire to make those who sit at his tables feel at home. In short: A name you can trust. You'll leave the restaurant with a smile and, indeed, with the utmost satisfaction. Highly recommended!

Massimo was truly the best and a satisfaction in name and in fact

Everything was delicious, from the fish to the meat. Fresh seafood and a wide variety of food for all tastes. Highly recommended.

The food was good. The service very bad. The two men where running around. The restaurant was way to busy for two waiters. They kept me waiting for paying more then 30 minutes.... The I guess owner was very ruse. Conclusion: food is good, service is ashame. Not to blame the two hardworking waiters. Compliments for them.

We went to La Soddisfazione on Sunday, January 25th, to celebrate a birthday. It's a place we know well, and every time we return, it's a guaranteed success. We chose a menu entirely based on seafood: excellent, delicious food, of truly excellent quality. The second course seemed to still smell the sea air, a sign of the freshest and most carefully prepared ingredients. One aspect I particularly appreciated was the attentiveness of the staff: when ordering, the waiters asked with great professionalism if there were any intolerances or allergies at the table. Since one of our guests is allergic to shellfish, it was reassuring to hear the mention of contamination, a detail that shows how much they truly care about the safety and well-being of their guests. A restaurant I recommend without hesitation and where it's always a pleasure to return.

The place is simply excellent, the staff were very kind and helpful from the start. We celebrated a birthday and they welcomed us with a small presentation of typical local dishes. We ate with gusto. Congratulations!
