I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Bari

26/10/2025: We were in the area for work on Sunday and they welcomed us with class and kindness and we ate on trust because we hadn't ordered anything, one dish better than the other but above all a greeting to the waitress who remained in my heart 💓

12/10/2025: Let's start from the end: for the first time in my life, I got to the point of getting up and leaving a restaurant. Now I'll explain why. We booked a table with the assurance that there would be an à la carte option, without a fixed menu. We arrived at 1:00 PM, sat down, and the chef came over, hats off, and informed us that there were only two options: seafood or meat (€35 and €40). We didn't know what these menus consisted of; it was all a surprise. We pointed out that we had booked specifically for the à la carte option, having no intention of spending Sunday at the restaurant, and the chef told us that once we were full, we could stay (and thanks to...I'd say). Anyway, we ordered two meat menus and a plate of orecchiette for the little girl. Ten minutes pass, and this dish arrives, unlike anything you'd ever seen in the worst restaurants of the '80s: a mini knot of fresh mozzarella, a potato and spinach tart (passable, to be honest), a slice of caciocavallo cheese with the rind still on, a piece of bread with half a tomato, and a handful of sad, inedible mushrooms preserved in oil straight from a Soviet canteen. All of it drowned in an excessive amount of oil whose purpose is unknown. We wait expectantly for the continuation of this appetizer, but soon realize that nothing else will arrive. Cured meats, sliced ​​meats, and hot appetizers have not arrived. Never mind, we think, we may not have chosen the best restaurant in the area, but maybe the first courses will make up for it. Too bad that from this point on, over an hour goes by without anything arriving at the table. Not even the orecchiette pasta for the little girl who had been fasting in the meantime. After an hour, we ask one waiter, then another, but there's no sign of the first course. At this point, at 2:20 PM, on empty stomachs, we ask for the bill, determined to leave. Here begins the show. The poor waiters, clearly embarrassed, try to dissuade us, making excuses and saying they couldn't count us; the owner (the chef from the beginning) was serving, and he was obviously busy in the kitchen. After waiting for five minutes, I get up and go to the cashier, but even then, there's no sign of the chef. Finally, at the third reminder from the poor waiter, the chef/owner/cashier comes out, rather annoyed, and mutters something about how, with the restaurant full, we'd have to wait. I ask, politely and without further argument, to pay for the amount we consumed because it was getting late, and here comes the apotheosis: The chef arrogantly tells me it's 40 euros!!! At that point, I threatened to call the financial police and was rudely kicked out of the restaurant. A surreal experience.

10/10/2025: We ordered two seafood risottos, they smelled bad, we called the waitress and after pointing out the defect, they called the owner who, according to him, was the smell of the sea (but polluted), he suggested we change and so we ordered a spaghetti with garlic and oil, once they arrived we were satisfied that they were floating in butter, we moved on to the second courses, fried prawns and calamari, even worse, hard prawns and soft calamari, finally the bill arrived, we paid and left with our legs raised, a harmony of what in my opinion was disgusting

05/10/2025: I went with my family for lunch on Sunday and unfortunately we weren't at all satisfied. We didn't order the set menu, but rather the à la carte. We waited an hour for our first course. When we asked for the second course (grilled octopus and sliced ​​steak), we were told we'd have to wait another 40 minutes...excessive in my opinion. We were told that if we didn't want to wait too long, we should opt for the mixed fried fish. So we decided to leave, recommending they only order the set menu on Sundays and nothing else, because it's absurd to wait so long for two roasts. We paid a whopping €103 for three first courses, a bottle of water, and three sorbets. The waiter apologized and was kind, but the restaurant, whoever was in charge, wasn't even capable of apologizing or adjusting the price we paid given the poor service. I sincerely hope they manage to organize themselves better in the future, although I don't think I'll return. I'M RESPONDING TO THE OWNER. WE WERE NOT WARNED THAT WE WOULD HAVE A WAIT AN HOUR FOR OUR FIRST COURSE. ONLY WHEN WE REQUESTED A SECOND COURSE WERE WE TOLD THAT WE HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER 40 MINUTES. THE MENU PUBLISHED ONLINE SAYS A FIRST COURSE IS 20 EUROS, BUT WE PAID 25. REGARDING THE RESERVATION, WE CALLED BEFORE ARRIVING AT YOUR RESTAURANT. GET INFORMED BEFORE YOU SAY NONSENSE AND CONTINUE WITH THE APOLOGIES. YOU'LL MAKE A BETTER IMPRESSION BY SIMPLY SAYING "SORRY!"

05/11/2025: We had a great meal, a big thumbs up for the vegan charcuterie board – excellent! The paninis were also very good. The location is lovely, in the middle of a charming little square. However, a major drawback was the service, which was very slow even though there were only three couples in the restaurant. Furthermore, one of the paninis they brought us wasn't the right one, and we ended up having to order our coffees at the bar.

03/11/2025: Great place for aperitivo in Monopoli!

19/10/2025: Decent Neapolitan pizza, but there's better around. Staff communication could be improved due to misunderstandings about table service. Limited beer selection and high prices.

17/10/2025: Good pizza but limited selection, variations a bit expensive

09/10/2025: We went to this place last night for the first time. Everything was perfect, from the service to the atmosphere. Not to mention the quality of the food served.

21/09/2025: Decent food. Service needs work: A bit grumpy, sometimes annoyed, they use bad humor toward the customers at the table, and the waits are truly endless. You can wait up to two hours for your entree. At the cash register, the owner harasses those paying with American Express in a not-so-subtle manner, irritably taking his disappointment out on the customer. Very bad; real commerce is something else entirely.

27/08/2025: Beautiful, elegant, warm, friendly place, very beautiful, spacious, bright and pleasant terrace, I recommend ❤️

17/08/2025: I stop often during my travels. Good products and excellent service.

24/10/2025: Total disappointment. Pizza was just okay. But the service was completely disappointing. No empathy. Furthermore, we found ourselves in the middle of noisy and uninhibited groups. In short, for a meal as a couple, it was far from great. It would have been quite simple to move away from these groups for a little privacy. In short, we absolutely do not recommend this place. The disappointment of our week in Puglia in terms of restaurants, whereas until now everything had been very good.

12/10/2025: We went last night with friends. Highly recommended. The appetizers and pizzas were excellent. Excellent.

08/11/2025: I have always found it good, I have been going there for 33 years, fish products and the raw aperitif taken on site, excellent cellar of rosés, whites, Proseccos, quality price N1

03/11/2025: Excellent for those who love fresh fish and seafood

21/10/2025: Very good value for money, good products, parking, very clean, pleasant service

08/09/2025: Attracted by the photos of the menu - potatoes, rice, and mussels, and Marretto with potatoes - we booked at this rotisserie, a disappointment. As soon as the owner showed up, he told us that the photos didn't match the menu, even though they were published on their website. This was completely at odds with what I was told over the phone when we booked. It was too late to choose another place. We settled for the mediocre menu - two euros for a cover charge, two euros for spring water. I urge the owner to take action to remove those misleading labels. I wouldn't go back!

03/10/2025: Truly excellent Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Spectacular wings Superb bombette. From the cooking to the flavor, everything was delicious. The wine recommended by the staff was truly excellent. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to eat quality meat at fair prices in a truly relaxing atmosphere.

28/08/2025: We ate outside since it was summer. The meat was very good and well cooked! (We had classic, spicy, and smoked bombette, sausage, baked potatoes, and marri.) The prices were a little high, but for a tourist destination, they're fair.

11/06/2025: I had the pleasure of tasting the artisanal ice cream, any flavor strictly lactose free. You have acquired a new customer. It was really excellent. It will surely be equally excellent as regards the rest of the services.

01/11/2025: Simple and well-kept place, original and delicious dishes!! The service staff, Ilaria and Mattia 🔝 double cheddar always a guarantee

26/10/2025: Probably the best burger joint in Bari and its province, or at least one of the best. The menu changes seasonally, and the ingredients are fresh, seasonal, and of the highest quality. The sandwiches, wraps, club sandwiches, and starters are truly mouth-watering.

22/06/2025: Panzerotti very good!!! Found by chance, top place!!!

12/10/2025: Great for a quick lunch or a great take-away

16/08/2025: Don't order through Glovo because if the courier doesn't find the address immediately and Glovo cancels the order, the restaurant won't bother finding a solution, and they'll have no problem leaving you without dinner. I called them to inform them of the problem and clearly complain, and they said, "We can't do anything about it; it's not our problem; you should call Glovo." I'm not a restaurant owner, but in their place, I would have kindly asked the customer to pick up the order and offered a discount for their next order directly at the restaurant. Or, if you think a discount could ruin your business, at least be professional and show empathy and respect toward those who chose you!
