Tiella In Bari

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place – completely by accident! The service was incredibly friendly and, despite not having a reservation, went out of their way to find us a table. All the dishes we ordered: octopus salad, panzerotti, spaghetti with meatballs and clams, fried calamari, and tiramisu were truly delicious. The excellent wine complemented everything perfectly, elevating the entire experience.

I've lived abroad for 13 years, and it was a pleasure to return to Bari, eat so well, and be served with such kindness as at this restaurant. The delicious dishes with the flavors that Bari cuisine can leave etched in your memory. Plus, I've never seen a restaurant with such clean and tidy counters (pizza chef, bar, and cash register). ALL the waiters and the owner were extremely attentive and kind. I'll have wonderful memories of it ❤️

Highly recommended restaurant. Excellent Apulian cuisine, friendly staff, and excellent service. Fair price.

We absolutely loved our experience at Tiella! The food was outstanding — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the authenticity and passion in the cooking. The staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. If you’re in Bari and want a true taste of local cuisine, this is the perfect place. Highly recommended!

Panzerotti fried or al forno were perfect, grilled seafood is an absolute highlight. Well worth a visit!

Tiella was an incredible find in Bari! The food was absolutely delicious — every bite felt authentic and prepared with care. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were super friendly, making the whole experience even better. We left already wanting to come back. A must-visit if you’re in the city!

What truly makes this place special is the staff: each person has their own character, always smiling, kind, and ready to help — it feels more like being among friends than in a restaurant. The food is consistently excellent: from fava with chicory to octopus salad with fennel, from the gourmet pizzas (the cereal dough is a must-try!) to the traditional panzerotto with just the right degree of crunchiness — everything is fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. Honest prices, genuine smiles, and a welcoming atmosphere that never disappoints. There are beautiful wines on the menu — not only Primitivo, but also Susumaniello, a wine rich in dark ripe fruit, with notes of plum and black plum that give it depth and warmth, touched by a hint of spice; and the white Falanghina, on the dry side, fresh and fragrant. To finish, their homemade liqueurs in various flavors — creamy, balanced, and simply delightful.

Very good typical Apulian food and very friendly staff

Tiella è sempre una buona esperienza per un boccone nostrano in un ambiente confortevole e amichevole, grazie alla cordialità del personale, sempre pronto ad esaudire ogni richiesta con garbo e professionalità. Abbiamo gustato due medaglioni rape e Norcia, veramente ottimi e delle chips buone che, più calde, lo sarebbero state ancora di più. I tavoli vicino alla finestra hanno la vista sul Petruzzelli, impagabile per chi ama il teatro. ❤️

Heerlijk gegeten bij Tiella. We zaten aan de bar bij de pizza oven. Naast pizza's staan er ook genoeg pasta's (o.a. recchiette) en andere (lokale) Italiaanse gerechten op het menu. Het was erg druk in het weekend dus reserveren is een aanrader.
