I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Bari

29/03/2026: The service and atmosphere were excellent, but it's a shame about the rest, which was truly unpresentable...

07/03/2026: Really poor food: FROZEN and COLD fries, DRY bread, BURNED meat. The burger was SMALL compared to the photos. THE WAITER SCAMMED US by saying the sandwich cost less than it actually did. Very disorganized service. NOT RECOMMENDED!

08/03/2026: The food deserves 5 stars, except that we waited a long time to pick it up and spent about €40 for two people. We didn't just grab a couple of things to make a quick move. So Local Guide only gives it 3 stars.

14/02/2026: We'll never forget February 14, 2026, and they'll never see us again, simply because we waited a whopping 50 minutes. We made a reservation on February 12, 2026, and every time I asked if a table was available, the usual response was that it would be available in a few minutes. We felt like we'd been cheated. Kudos to you for your professionalism.

02/10/2025: Excellent products, super friendly staff

05/04/2026: Never go back. Terrible experience, terrible service and terrible food. For my intolerant mother, pre-cooked lasagna was served on a sealed tray, raw and smelly. Total disappointment.

10/01/2026: I don't recommend it to anyone. It was my first time following a friend. I'll never go back. This comment sums up all the comments.

24/04/2026: Fish that doesn't taste like fish, a risotto to forget

24/04/2026: An old-fashioned restaurant, with a lack of empathy. The food is nothing special, but decent enough; definitely not something to take as a benchmark.

21/02/2025: Dietro una immagine di sofisticata di cotture particolari, si cela un menu di piatti riscaldati al microonde ( e anche in maniera molto discutibile). Tempistiche molto approssimative a meno che il pane non vi serva come dessert a fine serata. Attendo il conto e vedremo, CINZIA É LA COSA MIGLIORE DEL LOCALE

03/05/2026: First time at Stop Over with my wife for Sunday lunch. 185 km there and back, but it was worth it. Excellent overall!

14/03/2026: Don't go there!!!! Terrible food, terrible service. Never again!!!!!

02/05/2026: A treat for the taste buds, starting with the fried artichokes, puntarelle, and panzerottini, the truly exceptional tagliolini with truffle, and the highlight was the dessert "la svizzera" (cream, ricotta, and grated lemon, garnished with freshly whipped cream and berries), accompanied by a delicious house primitivo and an excellent sherry. We'll definitely return and highly recommend it.

20/03/2026: This place is pure poetry. Everything, from the location, to the art of setting the table, to the good manners of the wait staff who invite you to hand over your coat to hang it up and then hand it to you to help you put it on when you leave... what can I say! A place from another era that's worth a visit. I also enjoyed the food. I hope to return.

23/10/2025: I had the octopus sandwich. Fantastic. Truly exceptional, simple but very tasty.

13/09/2025: Perfect view. The salad was disappointing. Pizza it's not served for the lunch. The pasta is a bit expensive.

13/01/2026: Excellent service, the bartender was very kind and knowledgeable. Nice atmosphere, good music, great drinks, great prices! We'll be back.

11/04/2026: If you're looking for an impeccable culinary experience in the heart of Bari, Riva Restaurant is simply a guarantee. Located in the heart of the city, this restaurant combines elegance, a welcoming atmosphere, and truly extraordinary food quality. Each dish is meticulously crafted: the freshest ingredients, authentic flavors, and refined presentations enhance tradition with a modern twist. From appetizers to desserts, the passion and expertise of the kitchen are evident. Special praise also goes to the service: the staff is professional, attentive, and always friendly, making every customer feel pampered and welcome. Their timing is perfect, and they're always available to recommend dishes and wines. In short, Riva Restaurant is a true highlight in Bari's culinary scene. An experience worth repeating. Highly recommended!

31/03/2026: I had lunch with relatives on March 28, 2026, and was truly pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, the food (excellent and beautifully presented), and the impeccable service. In my opinion, it's one of the best and most refined restaurants in Bari. Highly recommended.

06/04/2026: Nice clean place, very kind staff, we ate well

16/02/2026: Dry pizza with meager ingredients, slow service, 1 waiter in the entire room like 1 pizza chef on a Saturday night... Let's move on to the rudeness of the owner who, instead of rounding down the per person amount, rounded up the bill (table of 18 people) and when we pointed this out to him, he started cursing us, treating us like beggars, saying that we just had to thank him for making us eat absurd food... We are not from Altamura and fortunately we have been to other renowned pizzerias in the area and they have always treated us with kid gloves, it's the first time something like this has happened to us, the owner should change jobs in my opinion, he only continues for the convenience of the place but for the rest the management is appalling.

02/10/2025: I went there with some friends last week and we had gelato. Aside from the fact that there was no difference between the various flavors, the most annoying thing was that the gelato melted in a flash. Bottom line: we ate it quickly because it melted before our eyes, it tasted like nothing, and we had to find a fountain to rinse our sticky hands. An experience not to be repeated.

12/09/2025: Excellent ice cream, even the healthy kind
