I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Bari

03/06/2025: A quiet little restaurant near the provincial road but without being subjected to its noise. We were placed in a trullo, there were practically only us (5 of us). Very kind waiters, not invasive who, which is rare, explained, as they gave the dishes, what they were about. Excellent food, endless house appetizers and then upon arrival they gave us fried broad beans, olives, bread, taralli and focaccia and halfway through lunch a crudité that was good for 10 people, all "courtesy". Highly recommended.

02/06/2025: Great lunch and friendly staff. Highly recommended

19/04/2025: Superb restaurant for the setting, the cuisine and the service. We would have liked to have had time to go back… High-end but well worth it. Be careful not to come in beach clothes!

06/04/2025: Always a guarantee, impeccable service and quality products

13/04/2025: Sono stato con la mia famiglia in questo ristorante per festeggiare la domenica delle palme, nulla da eccepire sempre il top. Il proprietario persona gentile e premurosa, così come tutto lo staff; cibo sempre di qualità. Posto che consiglio ad occhi chiusi. Complimenti continuate così. Alla prossima.

02/04/2025: Absolute guarantee for a fish-based dinner. Bartolo and his Sfaff professional as always.

22/05/2025: “Welcome to the experience… welcome to Calvi” It’s not just a slogan. It’s exactly what happens when you enter their home: they open the doors to their home, welcome you with a smile and treat you like family. This is Calvi: warmth, passion, care. It’s one of those places where you don’t just go to eat well — even if, trust me, you eat like a god — but to live a moment. The place is elegant and welcoming, with large and comfortable spaces. But my favorite corner is near the pass, because from there I can see everything. The kitchen is completely open, a real theater where the show never stops. I could stay there for hours watching how they move, how they take care of every detail… and in fact, every now and then, my wife calls me to order! Chef Donato is young, but with an edge. He has a head, a heart and a lot of hunger (not just for cooking, but for growing): he studies, travels, puts himself to the test. He never stops. Angelica, on the other hand, is the sommelier you would always like to have at your table: brilliant, very friendly, knowledgeable. She reads inside you and can always recommend the right glass, even if you want to dare with a cocktail or a spirit. In the dining room there is also Domenica, sweet, smiling, who makes you feel immediately at ease. Their cuisine is lively, contemporary, but rooted in tradition. You can find meat, fish, vegetarian dishes, daily specials, new dishes every season... but always with a clear philosophy: seasonality, respect for the raw materials and zero waste. I have eaten some of the best dishes of my life at their place. And every time it is different, because the menu changes, the inspiration changes... but the quality never changes. And then there are the leavened products. Bread, focaccia, sandwiches, panettone, brioche: all made by them, with sourdough and selected flours. I often stop by just to get the freshly baked bread, because it is truly special. I close with desserts and ice creams… which are not just “good”. They are poetry. The ice creams are churned on the spot, the desserts are never banal. Calvi is not just any restaurant. It is a real experience, made of heart, technique, family and so much beauty. If you have the chance, go there. Let yourself be embraced.

22/05/2025: I must admit that I have never been to the Calvi restaurant and it was a truly pleasant discovery, a gastronomic experience that manages to combine elegance and simplicity with great balance. The cuisine is of the highest level, with attention to the smallest details both in the plating and in the flavors. Each dish tells a story of research and passion, thanks to excellent quality ingredients, fresh and carefully selected. The combinations are refined but never excessive, capable of enhancing the natural flavors without overloading them. The service is another strong point: friendly, present but never intrusive, with a staff always ready to recommend and explain with competence the dishes and the wines to pair. You feel pampered from start to finish. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming, perfect for both a romantic dinner and a lunch with friends. The environment manages to convey serenity, with an attention to detail that is also reflected in the furnishings and background music. Finally, the quality-price ratio is more than fair. Considering the quality of the ingredients, the mastery of the kitchen and the level of service, the bill is absolutely adequate and well balanced. In short, Calvi is a restaurant where you gladly return: to eat well, relax and feel welcomed. A round of applause to Donato for his passion. Highly recommended.

01/05/2025: Very good pizza! Waiters good too

29/04/2025: Fantastic food! So delicious! Fast service and kind people. We will return here soon!

29/05/2025: It was a very successful evening. We had the Mare Mix for two as a starter, highly recommended; plentiful and very tasty. The price of €15 per person was absolutely reasonable. The main course, steak, and the mixed fish platter were also very tasty; €15 including potatoes, I highly recommend. The ambiance is very romantic, a kind of vaulted cellar. The service was excellent, with excellent English skills. The only criticism was the TV running in the dining room, even when turned down. We'd happily return for the G&T.

15/05/2025: Such good food and cozy environment! Highly recommended!

27/05/2025: A place with a distinct personality. A team of people who work hard and give their all to offer a memorable experience. A simple, stone-framed establishment with good decor and great music. The staff was well-trained. We were served by Luisana, who speaks several languages ​​perfectly. She advised us on the wines and dishes. We chose a very intense Rosso di Puglia with 17% alcohol. Each dish surpasses the last. The warm bread was incredible. We were able to greet and thank the chef, whom you can see at work when you enter the inn. A memorable experience from beginning to end. I hope life allows us to return!

27/05/2025: Beautiful restaurant with very good pasta. So many pluses. Waiting time for the first course... 45 minutes. The table next to us sat down a few moments after us and in the meantime managed to eat, appetizers, pasta and main course!!! The staff at no time noticed that something was wrong here. The pasta was really good but the later main courses and another waiting time... a flop. The cod was simply a few cubes of cod with zucchini immersed in tons of tempura... fatty and salty.

21/05/2025: Location with extraordinary view, excellent food and impeccable service. And then there is Nino, who is a perfect host! Highly recommended

06/05/2025: I stopped for lunch at the Hostaria San Domenico and I really want to publicly thank the managers for the great professionalism and kindness shown towards me... and towards my dog, who, being still young, has unfortunately put everyone to the test a bit. Nonetheless, thanks to the assistance of the managers, the emergency was over and we enjoyed a very pleasant lunch. The environment is quiet and comfortable, the food truly special and the town is definitely worth a visit. I hope to return, in the meantime congratulations and heartfelt thanks

04/06/2025: A must stop if you are in the area! Home cooking, generous portions and a comfortable environment. Will definitely be back!

20/05/2025: A magnificent place, everything perfect and delicious. Typical cuisine and warm atmosphere. Kind and friendly staff, I recommend it to everyone for a magnificent experience.

17/04/2025: Very nice hotel, beautiful garden, close to Bari Centrale station. Very good breakfast. I asked to order a taxi to the airport. No additional fees. Smiling and helpful staff. Spacious, clean room. I recommend it.

17/04/2025: Nice rooms. Bathroom with curtain. There is a fridge in the room and even a work table. Almost non-existent SPA with sauna light burned out and only hydromassage tub, nothing else. Small and disappointing gym, given the expectations due to how they present themselves. Decent breakfast.

02/06/2025: Very good pizzas!! And a characteristic place

02/06/2025: Meraviglioso ambiente all'interno del castello medievale dei Conti di Conversano. Servizio, qualità e cortesia all'altezza della location. Meta irrinunciabile per chi viene in visita e naturalmente per tutti, compaesani compresi!

02/06/2025: A few years ago we went to lunch at Murgiana and for the quality and quantity, both of the service and the food, I would have given 5 stars to everything. Yesterday, June 1st, we returned for lunch, three adults with a fixed menu only of land for €40 per person. Unfortunately, the quantity of food served was miserable, I would say for an adult and a child. The only second course was a sort of tagliata of about 100g with five wedges of baked potatoes, all to be shared. I was sorry because we left wanting to eat a sandwich with mortadella. Dear restaurateur, we paid for three entire menus, not one and a half. I will never return, I'm sorry but my rating is zero.

31/05/2025: Kindness, courtesy and excellent price and excellent food
