I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Barletta-andria-trani

08/09/2025: A vintage setting with a modern twist, a retro wooden bar, cozy chairs, and a jaw-dropping array of bottles—in short, a place that truly rocks. CONTRABAR in Bisceglie is a place you must try. In the heart of the old town, amidst historic walls and modern vibes, we're in an unconventional spot that transports you to the coolest and most refined side of Puglia. The mood is a perfect blend of refined old and seductive contemporary: warm lighting and retro-inspired furnishings. Here I met Gianni Dell'Olio and Francesco Di Gioia, two bartenders with an incredible background in mixology and drink engineering; they tell you every cocktail like a story, classics, twists, homemade. Just think, in 2017, these two guys first dreamed up an appetizer drink by creating Bitter Violento, and then went on to create BASTALDO, an authentically Apulian artisanal amaro made from blood orange peel and vanilla, spices, and Moscato di Trani, all perfectly blended. I even discovered that Contrabar is among the best rum bars in Italy, branded Isla de Rum, and is considered one of the top 12 national cocktail bars by Gambero Rosso. In short, it's not just any place; here we are at the apotheosis and everything else is boring.

30/04/2025: Two stars because the environment is very nice. But slow and listless service, aperitif served with a 20 minute wait (I had to ask and there were no people) without anything to tease (at least some chips). The place looked good but it was a disappointment, we definitely won't be back. Not recommended.

11/11/2025: Dinner with friends, happy with both the service and the dinner

08/11/2025: Terrible experience, very cramped, uncomfortable and shabby chairs, impossible to talk due to the commotion. They try to squeeze as many people in as possible. The portions are tiny, four bruschettas in a row, and the quality is questionable! The prices are outrageous; choose somewhere better! There are places where you pay half the price and they definitely treat their customers better! I don't recommend it.

05/09/2025: A one-night stay. Consisting of two buildings. Small rooms. Dilapidated furniture. The bathroom has a folding door that won't close. Traditional breakfasts: cheese, ham, cottage cheese, croissants, something sweet. Instant coffee.

27/05/2025: I often go there for work, good food also abundant, kind and attentive staff, at the reception we find Vittorio a very attentive person in his work and always very kind.

25/05/2025: The only positive note was the pizza, which was quite decent. We sat down as soon as we arrived but we waited a good two hours for a pizza, remaining at the last table. Very slow and disorganized service. Also, a bad idea to open the summer location in May when it is still cold in the evenings. Prices are a bit high and the quality of the food is quite good. I wouldn't go back for a number of reasons.

06/05/2025: All very good service, excellent quality fresh fish

17/08/2025: The two of us came for dinner. We parked in front of the bistro and were seated right away, even without a reservation. We ordered two pizzas and a bottle of water. Both were very good and highly recommended.

05/08/2025: Excellent food, kind and polite staff, clean and welcoming environment

03/10/2025: Don't go here. Scam for tourist. Verbal menu, clown taking orders, avoid. Looks like the place is for sale, no surprise.

25/08/2025: Excellent value for money. A good fish main course. Family-run with a friendly and approachable owner. Highly recommended.

31/10/2025: The pizza was good, but the service was poor. I arrived at 10:00 PM and had to wait over 30 minutes just to order a pizza. Shameful.

06/10/2025: Excellent pizza with a light crust. There's a wide variety of pizza toppings and a wide selection of first and second courses. The atmosphere is truly unique: you can choose to eat in two 1950s/1960s-style train carriages. Service is quite fast, and the waiters are friendly (pizza delivery could be a little quicker, but it depends on how many people there are to serve).

17/08/2025: Tradition and true flavors. Nicola is a great guy.

08/06/2025: Delicious food and very friendly service. Recommended for anyone who loves local and traditional dishes.

17/04/2025: Cortesia, efficienza del personale. Ottima cucina. Ambiente familiare.piena soddisfazione per il pranzo. Provato anche per colazione e break. Sempre ottimo

12/10/2025: Pizza with good dough, possibility of inside dining room... gluten-free pizza... reasonable prices... good selection of beers...

17/08/2025: Being on vacation at the beach in Trani, I ordered pizza from here in 2 evenings. A big and tasty pizza. I gave 4 stars because of the delivery time, because I waited more than 2 hours for it to be brought to the place of accommodation. For taste and quality, I recommend it, but it is probably better to go to the restaurant, than to order it at home.

21/10/2025: What a lovely surprise! Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of the dishes, but I assure you that my prosciutto crudo with strips was excellent, as was the draft beer. The atmosphere was young and pleasant.

21/09/2025: Definitely disappointing, both in terms of food quality and drink selection. Aperitif for two, poor and overpriced. Not recommended.

13/10/2025: Great place. Stopped by and we where a little early. Non the less they gave us a table and served very good food.

10/10/2025: AVOID!!.. Stopped in for lunch by chance....they almost force you to have the set menu (€40)...as soon as you sit down you find yourself at the table with wine...focaccia...appetizers...(which are part of the set menu)...without you having chosen anything. Then I ask if it is possible to order à la carte...and they still bring you dishes from the menu...even if you didn't order....they pass them off as house service...but when it comes to the bill you find yourself having to pay for them...and they also raise the price of the dishes compared to the list saying that those are the prices if you order the set menu....now I understand why it was the only restaurant with availability in the area!!!

17/09/2025: Excellent pizza, excellent meat, I recommend it

07/09/2025: A fantastic pizzeria! Despite its uninviting location in an industrial area, the owners have managed to create a welcoming and visually pleasing space, even outside. The pizza is excellent, and the staff is welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend it. They also offer takeout.
