I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Bari

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

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!

08/06/2026: The kind of place you go to and end up staying for hours. Great pizza, delicious assassina, fresh fried seafood, good music, great wine selection, and a lovely outdoor setting area near teatro Petruzzelli in the summer. Great staff and the owners make you feel very welcome - highly recommend.

05/06/2026: A perfect start in Bari! On our first evening in Bari, we found this beautiful restaurant and were absolutely delighted! Riva has a really lovely outdoor area where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home right away. The food was also excellent: both the salads and the pizza were fantastic and freshly prepared. It was the perfect culinary start to our vacation. We would love to come back and highly recommend Riva! 🇮🇹🍕🥗

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.

01/02/2026: An experience to forget, bathrooms with rust and dirty dogs that people used to come after, food to forget, not good in my opinion, it's not worth going there

15/01/2026: The lunch for me was excellent for New Year's Day as well as the wines I took the rosé was decent the red was good for other things I had a lot of fun with the dancing and singing

10/06/2026: Horrible experience! We booked with the voucher found in a Baci Perugina egg. The place needs a makeover, the owner was incredibly cold, and the waitress was quite inexperienced. But that's not the real problem. We ordered appetizers, and I asked for clarification on what was included in the seafood and meat appetizers. I asked for the seafood one, and we also ordered a PEPATA DI COZZE (MUSSELS WITH PEPPERED POTATOES). We ordered two main courses: grilled octopus and swordfish Livorno-style. We received a MIXED appetizer, which I've attached a photo. The only edible thing was the octopus tart and salad; the rest was a complete mess. Speaking of hair, under the collar was a short, blond hair, definitely not mine or my boyfriend's, as they were both dark brown. We received the PEPATA DI COZZE (MUSSELS WITH PEPPERED POTATOES), which was INEDIBLE, with the mussels still dirty and with pieces of shell attached. Of the 20 or so mussels we tried, we downed two. We asked the waitress to take them back, and shortly afterward the owner came over and rudely told us that the mussels couldn't possibly be dirty. Definitely not the right thing to do for someone who should only want the best for their restaurant. Instead of the peppery pizza, we asked for a pizza: CICCIO ROSSO WITH GRANA AND CHERRY TOMATOES. My boyfriend swapped his main course for a first course, hoping to fill up since we hadn't eaten anything from the appetizers. At 10:30 PM, after almost a 40-minute wait on a Sunday and with little traffic, the rest of our order arrived. The Ciccio BIANCO, but at least it had cherry tomatoes and grana cheese, the tagliolini allo scoglio was super al dente, and my swordfish Livorno-style was completely sweet, luckily there were olives to add a little saltiness. Otherwise, it was a nightmare. We won't be returning. It's a shame because in Monopoli, which is by the sea, you shouldn't have problems like this, especially with dirty fish. We paid €40 and went home hungry!

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

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.

10/06/2026: Excellent Sunday lunch at Quasano. A lovely day spent in the company of Captain Pinuccio, whose friendly nature made the day very enjoyable, as well as serving the freshest fish.

20/05/2026: This evening at Pinuccio's was FANTASTIC. We ate WONDERFUL 💯 THANK YOU PINUCCIO!!!!!

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.

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

22/04/2026: mediocre rooms, average service and poor food

20/04/2026: I think this experience can be summed up in three simple words: "Never go there." I'm writing this because my class and I went to eat and stay at this hotel, and one of our classmates even refused to bring us the bread we requested.

03/05/2026: Disappointing place, decent meat, 2 kids' burgers for €16... Fantastic. All-you-can-eat menu, so to speak, just wings and sausage.

03/05/2026: For me everything is ok,,,first time today.
