Vinicio In Bitonto

We chose this place by chance, but it turned out to be a very good choice. The food is delicious, the service is fast and very attentive to the needs of the guests. We highly recommend it to everyone.

Excellent food, very helpful staff. We were with friends and we had the assassina, it was super delicious, not very spicy.

Dinner last night at this location in the ancient village of Bitonto. A refined venue, with an indoor dining area and an outdoor plaza. The staff are professional, welcoming, helpful, and above all, down-to-earth and pleasantly friendly. Excellent wine cellar, well-recommended charcuterie and cheese platter, well-stocked menu, and a well-prepared first course of spaghetti all'assassina. The atmosphere is old-fashioned and elegant. I loved everything about it and highly 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, don't be in a hurry to eat here. For two people at lunchtime on a weekday, it takes 30 minutes just to get a drink, another 30 minutes for a small starter (a ham bao), and a further 40 minutes for your main course! We're tourists and know we have time, but this is still excessive. Luckily, one waiter is friendly, but the other, a bearded man, is like a prison guard and throws the dishes at you as if you're bothering him! The meals were quite good, but if you order a piece of beef, be careful with the hot board they bring you, as the meat tastes bad after cooking on it. We won't be eating here again. Also, be aware that there's a €2 charge per person for cutlery on the terrace. I've attached photos of the menus and the bill.

For lunch, they have a daily special 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
