Vinicio In Bitonto

Dinner last night in this location in the ancient village of Bitonto. Refined place, with internal room and external square. Professional, welcoming, helpful staff but above all easy-going with pleasant friendliness. Excellent wine cellars, well-recommended platter of cold cuts and cheeses, well-stocked menu, well-prepared first course of spaghetti all'assassina. Old style and elegant environment. I liked everything, I recommend it.

We had a wonderful evening, special thanks to Luana who took such good care of us and was so welcoming. The food was amazing, we had a piece of 600g meat, their speciality “Murder” pasta (baked) and the pulpo pasta. The area (Bitonto) and interior made everything even more perfect. Trust me when I tell you it’s worth it to make a detour and visit Vinicio! When in the area again, we will be back. Thank you!

Dear customers, do not be in a hurry to eat here because for 2 people during midday during the week, it takes 30 minutes to have a drink as much to have a mini “Bao ham” starter and another 40 minutes to have your main course! We are tourists and know that we have time but this is still a waste. Fortunately there is 1 waiter who is friendly, the other bearded, a real prison door, and throws dishes at you as if we were bothering him! The meals were quite good, if you take a piece of beef be careful of the hot plate they bring you because the meat has a bad taste after cooking on it. We will not be returning to eat here, and please note that there is a charge for cutlery on the terrace, €2 per person. I will provide you with the menus and the note in photos. .

At lunch they have a daily offer for €10/12 including water and coffee! 🔝

Hamburger davvero ottimo, la qualità della carne si sente! Anche i dolci non sono da meno! Personale gentilissimo e disponibile.

Visit to dear friends from Bitonto and meeting at Vinicio. Close to the historic centre, we pass the Baresana gate and along the street, on the right, we find the entrance to the restaurant under the watchful gaze of the Torre Angioina which stands on the left of the road. Upon entering we are greeted kindly and given a table. The restaurant, with its small spaces, immediately appears pleasant. The sensation is that of feeling at ease in a relaxed atmosphere, which works in favor of the place and the diners. The menu is a search for intertwining traditional flavors and national and international contaminations. At the start of the Bao, steamed sandwiches, with pulled pork filling and other innovative ones with parmigiana. Next, an appreciated proposal is certainly the buffalo mozzarella stuffed with courgettes simply placed on a cross of rocket. More elaborate is the Cremoso di Martina, a construction whose base is aubergine cream, on which a crouton of bread, burrata and a cape of capocollo from Martina Franca are placed. A delight on the palate. The "Caesar salad", light and satiating. Among the first courses, the "Sapori d'Oriente", wheat spaghetti, seasonal vegetables, egg, teriyaki, sesame and sprinkling of ginger, are a successful gamble. "Soqquadro", a pasta with pears, gorgonzola and crumbled walnuts, delicate on the palate with its sweet/savory contrast between pears and gorgonzola. A simple intuition that draws from the "not letting people know" of the more peasant tradition of eating cheese with pears. The playful presentation of the dish justifies the name given to the dish. Although the place has a good range of wines, we opted for craft beers, appreciating the qualities expressed in terms of aromas and flavours. The "Sud" from the Baladin Brewery, with its citrus notes and the "Machete" from the Ducato Birrificio, with its strong and aromatic hoppy taste. Overall, the evening left us with an excellent impression.

Appena entrati, si respira un sapore di terra e di tradizioni. Poi leggendo il menu ti accorgi che i piatti sono diversi dalla routine. Ampia selezione di vini e qualche birra artigianale da ampliare la scelta. Personale simpatico e professionale

Great food & service! I would return
