I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Bari

08/11/2025: We stopped by for a quick lunch and it was a great experience. The staff was professional and very friendly. The food was excellent. The fried fish was top notch! Highly recommended!

30/10/2025: Great spot to relax and enjoy the sea, the food was great and the service was excellent.

14/11/2025: The octopus sandwich is delicious and exceptional. I took the classic one but there are variations with burrata and other types of sandwiches. Generous portions. Quick and cordial, and you can pair it with drinks from the fridge, beers and whatever else.

14/11/2025: Spaghetti all'assassina with octopus...super! 🐙

05/11/2025: We stopped for lunch. The place is very close to the center. We were just unlucky enough to be at a small table, but that was only because it was crowded, and they were kind enough to seat us, so we accepted. Exceptional food. Average prices.

01/11/2025: Warning: potential tourist trap! A fellow student and I visited this restaurant because it was recommended by the local Italian language school that we were attending. This was one of three restaurants that the school recommended, as the school gave us a plastic card that was supposed to provide a discount when dining there. Upon seating us, a waiter brought to our table an oven pan with two whole baked fish in it. He shoved the pan in front of my colleague, indicating that he should order it. Since we're just students of the language, the pressure was on to select it, and that's just what my colleague did. I politely declined the offer, so next, the same waiter brought out a huge platter of raw meat to me, urging me to select a steak. I declined that offer, as well. We later noticed that the staff was following the same aggressive presentation to the table next to us. When the whole baked fish arrived, the waiter asked my colleague if he wanted the fish filleted. My colleague said "yes," not knowing that he would incur an extra 12 euro charge for that service. The food that I ordered was edible. I have had good braciole before; this was not a good braciole. It was tough and dry, even though it was served as cooked with tomato sauce. I have also had seafood pasta dishes that were admirable in Puglia; my seafood pasta dish that night was not very good. Some of the mussel shells hadn't even opened when they served me the plate. The real kick was the check. For a restaurant recommended to students for its discount, the check was 137 Euros. When my colleague presented the card issued by the language school, they reluctantly gave us a 7 euro discount. We should have known of the tourist trap potential when it appeared that most every patron was a visitor -- and not a local. There are some great restaurants in Alberobello. Please be careful with this one.

08/08/2025: A very, very nice little place to spend a pleasant evening with friends! And then there's Alessandro, who is incredibly kind and professional...always attentive to every request!

28/06/2025: The bartender was so nice! Great beer and fun atmosphere.

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 !

23/10/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A real favorite is L’Aréna del Gusto! Everything is excellent: hearty, tasty, and generous dishes, served with a smile and great kindness by the entire staff. ❤️ If you're passing through Monopoli, don't hesitate for a second: go eat there once... or several times! You'll never be disappointed. A place to recommend without hesitation! 🍝🍷

14/10/2025: The pizza was really tasty and the prices weren't expensive.

22/10/2025: Good restaurant with fast and friendly service. Minimalist decor but succulent and meticulously prepared dishes. Around €10-20 per person for above-average quality. (I recommend ordering a salad because they have exceptional oil.) First course: €10-12 Second course: €13-18 Starter: €4-14 Side dish: €4

20/10/2025: Excellent food served by friendly and knowledgeable staff.

12/11/2025: Beautiful experience, you feel like you're at home and the food is delicious, especially the pizza, which I highly recommend, and the service and prices are excellent.

23/10/2025: Also a great option for families with children. The pizza is delicious, as is the spaghetti all'assassina.

06/11/2025: The luck of being in Bari, the climate, the food, the hospitality and the carefree atmosphere.... All top

05/11/2025: The place is very nice, on the beach (it's a beach restaurant). I had lunch during the week in November, in the bar area, not the indoor dining room. They served me on paper placemats, with cutlery and napkins wrapped in those paper pizzeria bags. A seafood first course cost €18, and then you had to add a cover charge, drinks, etc. I find the price inappropriate for the service offered. If a restaurant wants to charge me €18 for a first course, they'll give me a cloth tablecloth and a cloth napkin in a setting that's not a bar/aperitivo. I'm sorry these slip-ups happen in Bari, which is experiencing a booming tourism season.

13/11/2025: Friendly staffs, good ambience and good food. Great place to stop for a lunch in the surrounding around.

27/10/2025: Everything was very good, the welcome, the service, the quality of the food, and the fair price. 💪💪⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

02/11/2025: Bad wine recomandations demi-dry instead of dry, bad food. We taste 3 (bad) dishes - 2 pasta and 1 local food with musels, potatoes and rice.

02/11/2025: Below expectations.Disappointed Bad food, bad service.

29/10/2025: Meraviglioso! Choose the tasting menu! Must visit in Polignano a mare! 🔝

21/10/2025: perfect setting and dinner & wine. service was great. on sunday evening it was very quiet. we had a problem with the prepaid deposit - but the team fixed it afterwards during office hours.

18/10/2025: At POLLETTO I probably had the best roast chicken in the last 20 years. Perfectly roasted, wonderfully seasoned, and, most importantly, clearly homemade. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and Roberto is incredibly hospitable. While working, he sings, adding to the charm of the whole experience.

09/07/2025: A Wonderful Dining Experience at Il Poletto Il Poletto is a hidden gem for anyone who loves perfectly grilled chicken! The flavors are rich, juicy, and cooked to perfection — you can tell every dish is made with care. The warm and cozy atmosphere makes you feel right at home. A special thank you to the owner, Roberto, whose kindness and passion for food shine through in every detail. Highly recommended!

22/10/2025: This is the 5th time I've been to this place, and today you can see the difference from the others: we booked 2 adults and 2 children, we arrived and the children's menu was not available, which was available the other times. We decided to do 3 adult menus for 4! Nothing could be more wrong, they always arrive portions for 2 adults to be divided between 4! Smart of them, hahahaha! P.S. grilled vegetables are unthinkable! TERRIBLE, WE WILL NEVER RETURN

17/10/2025: Everything is top notch, the meat is top notch, the owner is personal... There's no comparison to anything else, the good food is top quality.

14/08/2025: Excellent bistro in the heart of the city overlooking a welcoming little square, suitable for all types of customers, it organizes selected live musical events, try it and believe it

05/07/2025: Undoubtedly a beautiful place, it promises a lot but offers little: gluten-free options, few and billionaire-like. A raw vegetable dish with a celery stalk divided into 3 parts and a couple of carrots seemed like an insult to me. Only 4 glasses to choose from. Distracted service. Nice live.
