I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Bari

07/06/2026: Super fresh red prawns and vongole!!

06/06/2026: Excellent restaurant in the city center, small but very welcoming. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and they make you feel at home. Superior quality dishes, all very fresh, excellent raw fish, phenomenal first courses, and the famous Pasta all'Assassina, the best in Bari. Recommended.

17/06/2026: I can only say wow, an experience of genuine tastes, everything perfect

12/06/2026: The food was delicious, the pasta was homemade, which allowed us to discover new flavors. The service was perfect; our server was very kind, smiling, and attentive. I highly recommend it!

10/08/2026: A beautiful venue, decorated with great taste and elegance. A place where you feast first with your eyes. Excellent hospitality from all the staff, especially the very kind and knowledgeable owner. Special dishes, carefully prepared. A truly special evening...we'll be happy to return!

01/08/2026: After two weeks in Puglia, this was actually the best restaurant! Thanks

09/05/2026: We had an omelet and an espresso for €10.20; nice atmosphere but a bit pricey.

30/04/2026: Super helpful and friendly service, delicious coffee and croissants

09/08/2026: Fantastic! Tasty food! Vegetables from our own garden!

07/08/2026: Exceptional! A festival of flavors and colors, original and very successful combinations. A real treat! The terrace is lovely, and the service is cheerful and friendly. Not to be missed!

03/05/2026: We had the opportunity to be served by Francesca, she is a truly competent and very kind person, she made our experience in the historic bar of Castellana really pleasant

02/04/2026: I had two coffees, the price was €2.60, but when I said I was paying by card, the manager charged me €3 (14% more). He overcharged me by 40 cents, but he lost a few coffees, considering he won't see me again, and probably others to whom I'm telling this sad story will prefer a place where the price is fair.

24/11/2025: As always, everything was excellent quality, with the freshest fish and the option of meat dishes for those who don't eat fish. Excellent wines. The appetizers even included excellent sushi. The cake was exquisite. They even allowed our little furry friend to come in. The staff was impeccable, always available, courteous, and attentive to our every request. They fulfilled all my wishes and those of our fellow diners. The restaurant was perfectly air-conditioned, with spotless restrooms and plenty of space between tables. The tablecloths were pristine white and the dishes spotlessly clean. No need to worry about leaving; I'll be back many times because Donato and his staff NEVER disappoint. Amazing price!

05/11/2025: An outdoor Sunday lunch, a private, clean environment, excellent staff service, excellent food quality, and a fair price.

22/05/2026: Fantastic, everything excellent. The staff and service were perfect.

21/05/2026: I didn't like the panzerotti because they're small and the dough is thin, but they're easy to digest because they're not greasy. The panzerotti's seasoning isn't noticeable because the cured meats (e.g., salami and mortadella) are diced (except for the panzerotto with capocollo). Prices are reasonable (a panzerotto averages €3-4), except for the panzerotto with capocollo and stracciatella. The latter, ONLY because it was filled cold and served open, costs €8 (basically the same as a pizza). Service is poor because you can't afford to pay a €3 cover charge for: 1) the table is so close to the others that you can't move (we were in the outdoor dining area); 2) paper placemats like the ones in the cafeteria and napkin holders like the ones at the bar downstairs; 3) A waiter (a very young man who perhaps didn't want to work) first asked us what we'd ordered (is that our business?), then took away our dirty plates and cutlery but didn't give us clean cutlery for the other courses. Generally, the waiters were helpful but unsmiling. I usually check reviews and prices before choosing a place, but unfortunately this time I mistakenly followed other people's advice.

25/07/2026: Overall good to eat something before the other places open

25/07/2026: At 8:35 PM, I'm in front of the focacceria that's supposed to be open until 9 PM: it's closed. It's a Saturday. Okay.

08/08/2026: I'm giving it one star because I can't give it less. The staff was rude, arrogant, and unprofessional. The prices were excessive and the service was poor. They didn't even provide a receipt.

08/08/2026: Lido Bianco is much more than a restaurant: it's an experience that engages all the senses. The seaside location is simply spectacular and offers an elegant and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for both a romantic dinner and an evening with friends. The fish is extraordinarily fresh, and every dish speaks volumes about the quality of the ingredients. Professional staff, smiling, and engaging emails. And then, what a great idea, the lounge bar, a truly charming spot overlooking the sea, where you can enjoy an aperitif at sunset! Extraordinary. Special praise goes to the owners, who feel like the true heart of the place. They are serious entrepreneurs and a source of pride for our region. Congratulations for creating such a special place.

02/08/2026: I continue to choose this dining room because it's a guarantee in every way. The food is always top-quality, carefully prepared, and impeccably served. The service is also excellent: all the staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive to every detail. Special thanks go to the manager, who manages every aspect with great professionalism, organization, and calm. She manages everything without ever feeling pressured, making guests feel welcomed and cared for. The passion she puts into her work is evident, and it's one of the main reasons I always enjoy returning. I recommend this dining room to anyone looking for quality, courtesy, and truly impeccable service.

28/07/2026: Great party, everything well organized.

14/08/2026: Delicious pizzas, perfect dough, quality ingredients, and fast service. The storefront is small, but there's a huge, very pleasant dining room inside. I highly recommend it.

13/08/2026: Very less quantity of food, it was ok

05/07/2026: Delicious, needs no further explanation. There were a few mosquitoes, but it wasn't a big deal.

18/06/2026: Is the best pizza in Castellana Grotte!!!! The pizza is awesome!!! And everyone have to try Montanarina desert!

06/06/2026: 5 well-deserved stars! The food at Calvi Ristorante is truly delicious; every dish is carefully crafted, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. The staff is always friendly and professional, and makes you feel immediately at ease. A special thanks to the chef, a truly humble, helpful, and exceptionally kind person. You can tell he's passionate about what he does, and the results show in the dishes. It's always a confirmation: excellent food, a beautiful atmosphere, and impeccable service. Highly recommended!

10/05/2026: A decidedly disappointing experience. Extremely slow service and unprofessional staff, with organization that left much to be desired. It's unthinkable that in a Michelin-starred restaurant, orders are taken on simple post-it notes, giving the impression of total disarray and lack of customer service. The quality of the desserts was also unacceptable: we ordered tiramisu, and it arrived practically warm and completely melted. Such a detail is truly unfortunate for a restaurant that demands high standards. Furthermore, the atmosphere was completely absent: no music the entire evening. We arrived at 10:00 PM, and the music wasn't turned on until 1:00 AM, making the atmosphere cold and unwelcoming. The prices were exorbitantly high for the quality of service and the overall experience. Absolutely not up to the reputation it claims to have. We definitely won't be returning.

09/08/2026: The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the fish was fresh and everything was delicious.

08/08/2026: I've known this place for several years now. A place I love to visit when I want to savor fresh seafood on a charming terrace, overlooking one of Monopoli's wonderful stretches of coastline (Contrada Capitolo). We had an excellent aperitif dinner as a couple 🍽️ Two impeccably prepared cocktails 🍹🍸 Aperitif trio with olives 🫒 Delicious fresh oysters 🦪 🦪 🦪 🦪 Glass of Franciacorta 🥂🍾 Two rich and tasty seafood salads 🥗 I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the truly friendly, very kind, and professional staff. 😊 Impeccable service. 😉👌 I also recommend the truly excellent restaurant, which is a must-book for lunch or dinner. A place for those who love the sea and its delicacies. I absolutely recommend it.
