I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Bari

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.

22/09/2025: Just yesterday, Sunday, I had the pleasure of having lunch with my family at this welcoming restaurant. The food was excellent: all the dishes were tasty and delicate. The service was also excellent: the staff were efficient and helpful. The owner, in particular, was friendly and welcoming. Finally, I can say that the quality/price ratio is also very good! I highly recommend stopping by this restaurant... you won't regret it!

31/07/2025: I tried a croissant and the next day I ordered two trays for an occasion: they were delicious, large, hot, and had a tasty filling in various variations. The woman kindly helped me carry them to the car. A great experience, I'll definitely be back.

22/08/2025: I ate a takeaway pizza last night. Since it's a wood-fired oven, I thought it would be delicious, but I was a little disappointed. It was chunky and heavy. It's a shame, I would have gladly returned, but I wasn't satisfied 😢

12/06/2025: Pizzeria in the center of Valenzano. However, it does not have outdoor seating. I personally ordered the Foresta Nera pizza. The dough is good and the pizza is thin (as is customary in Bari and the surrounding area).

09/07/2025: Siamo stati con amici in questa pizzeria, locale bellissimo, abbiamo mangiato delle pinze eccezionali, i prodotti usati di ottima qualità. Ottimo anche il servizio. Sicuramente da ritornarci. Ottimo il rapporto qualità prezzo

10/06/2025: J'avais demandé à l'IA le chat mistral un restaurant à Alberbello qui ne soit pas un attrape touriste, il m'a conseillé celui-ci ! Pas déçu, bon rapport qualité prix, et serveurs très gentils, il y avait même une serveuse qui parlait français ! Parfait !

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!

07/11/2025: Very nice place in the center of Molfetta but you can't use "D'Angelo's hair" as a type of pasta for spaghetti allo scoglio 😐

03/10/2025: The best Spaghetti allo scoglio in Puglia.

08/09/2025: Excellent products, renowned for their quality. My review is in reference to Teresa, who, despite us arriving 20 minutes before closing, was very helpful and patient with our purchase.

04/05/2025: Among the best taralli I have ever eaten. Every time I go back down, I always stop by Capurso to stock up on taralli to take back to Florence. There are various flavors and formats of tarallo, both sweet and savory, but also other products occasionally.

25/08/2025: My first time at this bakery — I bought two little focaccine, no tomato, just with two pitted olives, and they charged me €2. Really, really expensive!

24/07/2025: Aufgrund der Empfehlung meines Hosts und der guten Bewertungen habe ich das Magda aufgesucht. Ich kann nur sagen, ich verstehe den Hype darum nicht. Das Lokal war überfüllt und chaotisch. Ich war überfordert und niemand wollte mir richtig helfen. Wenn wenigstens das Essen lecker gewesen wäre, dann hätte sich die ganze Tortur gelohnt. Aber weder hat das Foccacia geschmeckt noch die gefüllte Pizzaecke. Auch das Arancino habe ich schon besser gegessen. Also kein Grund für mich wiederzukehren.

26/09/2025: Amazing cakes at good prices.❤️ Staff is very friendly. Clean bath.

31/08/2025: We happened to arrive during siesta time, so we expected to just grab a drink and not be able to eat anything. But quite the opposite, we were greeted with an incredibly warm welcome! And to top it all off, the chef served us delicious spaghetti for free before the dish we ordered. The food was delicious! I highly recommend this place.

20/07/2025: Che dire... Il Savì è la nostra certezza. Ogni sapore è ricercato, unico e come dico a loro... non ne sbagliano una. Anche lo staff gentile e cordiale.

03/05/2025: Ci torno sempre volentieri in questo locale. Organizzazione eccezionale e professionale. Crepes spettacolari dal salato al dolce. E non solo , tutto ottimo. Complimenti

30/09/2025: The quality/price ratio is excellent, and the kindness of the staff makes the difference. The gluten-free pizzas are excellent.

21/09/2025: I stopped by and picked up two takeout pizzas, one of which was gluten-free. They were really good, and the homemade dough was excellent. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

15/10/2025: The food was fresh, delicious, and inviting. The service was excellent, with a truly remarkable level of hospitality and customer service. Mr. Antonello welcomed and served us as if we were old friends, even though it was our first time here.

13/10/2025: A place where the food is a true work of art served by excellent service and extremely helpful owners who make you feel at home❤️❤️

12/10/2025: Super friendly and qualified staff, ample parking, three reception rooms, and a large outdoor garden surrounded by nature.

15/09/2025: With the boxes, it's not worth eating there; everything seems recycled and the dishes are cold. The calamari is truly disgusting, not calamari but Brooklyn in broth and tasteless, it tastes like Big Babol. I hate to write a review like this, but they should take a look at their conscience; we're not dogs, breakfast is okay.

05/10/2025: Terrible experience. When we booked, we weren't informed that lunch would be served to everyone at the same time. We arrived at 12:50, and out of kindness, we were served a paltry appetizer at 2:00. At 2:45, we were still waiting for the other diners. We got up. I asked for the bill: €40 for a paltry, subpar appetizer. I made a terrible impression on my guest.

16/08/2025: A REAL agriturismo, we ate almost everything they produced. The ricotta cheese of the day, as well as the mozzarella. The Ferragosto menu was exceptional, just a little pricey.

14/05/2025: Needing to buy something for breakfast, I opened Google Maps and searched for “supermarket” nearby. That’s how I came across this bakery right around the corner. In fact, following Google Maps, I ended up relying on my nose to find it—there wasn’t any sign out front. I was a bit puzzled, but decided to give it a shot anyway. Once inside, I asked for the brioche and the clerk pointed me to a bag with five rolls that looked like little oil buns. At €1.80 total, the price was a very pleasant surprise!
