I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Bari

05/01/2026: Il Borgo Antico is a restaurant I've been frequenting for over ten years, and it continues to be a trusted source. It's a rustic, authentic place where you can experience the true flavor of local cuisine. The dishes are authentic, simple yet rich, with generous portions and authentic flavors, the kind that don't seek flash but rather focus on the substance. The quality of the ingredients is evident, and the chef truly excels at showcasing them with traditional, sincere, and well-executed cuisine. The restaurant is spacious yet simple, in keeping with the rustic style of the place, perfect for lunches with friends and convivial dinners. The young staff are friendly, charming, and helpful, making the atmosphere even more pleasant. The location is also excellent, just steps from the panoramic viewpoint, which adds an extra dimension to the experience, especially on nice days. An honest, authentic, and reliable place, ideal for those seeking traditional cuisine made the way it once was. Recommended without hesitation.

25/12/2025: The welcome and staff were magnificent! A great family, very organized and friendly! The food is indescribable...typical local fare but with original and personalized touches, high-quality ingredients. I also recommend it for the quaint and charming location!

05/11/2025: Very good little restaurant. The waiter was very friendly too :)

26/10/2025: The food and service were exceptionally good.

17/03/2026: For a special occasion, I came to celebrate at this place because a friend who lives in Bari had recommended it to me as one of the best. First of all, it's right in the center, just outside Bari Vecchia. The place is very cute and refined, and the waiters are always very friendly and professional. The service is fast, and a very positive note must also be given to their bread basket, which also includes focaccia, which are spectacular. As an appetizer, we ordered a mix of raw and cooked fish. This was followed by a fish soup, which is for two, and with this we even mopped up the bread and were more than satisfied. What can I say: a place definitely recommended, especially for special occasions, and I hope to return soon to try more of their delicacies.

16/03/2026: I had a wonderful experience at this B&B. The location is perfectly central, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was outstanding with fresh, local products and great variety. The hosts clearly put care into every detail. I definitely recommend staying here!

22/03/2026: What can I say... I celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday yesterday. Starting with the owners, they were incredibly kind and helpful, especially Roberta. The food was excellent, high-quality, and above all, plentiful. We'll definitely be back, I highly recommend it!

11/02/2026: Elegant and well-kept venue, excellent food and very organised waiting staff, very friendly staff

24/02/2026: Nice place, very welcoming, efficient service

23/02/2026: Top in everything! Always a guarantee

01/02/2026: I often return when I'm passing through. I'm guaranteed an excellent lunch in a nice, welcoming place. I recommend it.

04/01/2026: A lovely restaurant in the historic center of Bitonto. The first course, featuring cardoncello mushrooms (€20 for the dish, which raises expectations), was a sore point. The pasta, poorly combined with the sauce, immediately tasted strange. We reported the anomaly to the friendly wait staff and sent the dish back to the kitchen. We would have expected at least a brief apology from the chef when we received the bill, which we would have paid anyway. The "mangiaresano" (healthy eating) on ​​the Wi-Fi password should be changed to "mangiaresanosetivabene" (eatinghealthyandhealthy). Anyone who ate those two forkfuls of pasta before sending it back reported severe stomach pains. A bit disappointed.

06/03/2026: CRAZY PRICES, €20 seafood salad, a poverty-sized portion €24 medium-sized roast octopus €22 linguine with clams €25 pungirosa, comparable to basic wine Lunch cost around €60.50, considering they even asked for 50 cents. And we're not saying it's a charming location because I'm a true Bari native.

06/03/2026: SMALL FROZEN OCTOPUS €24.50 FIRST COURSE WITH CLAMS €22 WINE €25, poor quality considering their extensive wine knowledge €5 DIGESTIVE 8 GRILLED VEGETABLES Insane prices. Mediocre quality.

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.

23/02/2026: A wonderful dinner in a beautiful setting, friendly service, and a fantastic kitchen team. The food was so outstanding that we'll be talking about this evening in Polignano for a long time to come. We'll be back, grazie mille!

08/01/2026: I stumbled upon this place by chance and was very pleasantly surprised. Wonderful food, great service, and all at moderate prices for this level of quality. Wonderful!

01/02/2026: It's a very nice and welcoming place, the food is excellent.

11/01/2026: Unfortunately, we can't comment on the food at this restaurant, but we can comment on the service. We went there at 12:30 PM to eat. Someone told us to come back at 1:00 PM, and when we returned at 1:00 PM, the restaurant was closed. Thanks for the wasted time and the appalling service. But it's certainly our fault, just like all the other customers who leave negative reviews.

24/12/2025: I'm shocked, disappointed, and very, very bitter... two proseccos (no particular brand), a plate of raw fish (an oyster, a shrimp, and two scampi), plus two other small plates of various things (cold, by the way, including some fried food)... Basically, everything to share, nothing calculated for two! Total €70... basically two aperitifs for €35 per person, the cost of a dinner in a pinch... I understand it's Christmas Eve, but increasing the price like this is truly illegal... half an hour to be so bled... I don't think I'll be back, not even for a coffee, because I felt truly cheated, never mind Christmas wishes... What a disappointment...

16/11/2025: I go to this bar exclusively for the products which are of good quality especially the really good croissants, but unfortunately I have to give one star because it is not the first time it happens, I am referring to the waitress Alina who served me the croissants and then made me pay, a piece of advice, education and empathy are the basis of this job, I enter saying hello and I barely get a response, a desire to work equal to 0, and after having paid even worse, if you do not want to be in contact with people, you are asked to change jobs, because the image of the place depends on it, which I repeat is TRULY EXCELLENT

15/03/2026: For us, the best restaurant in Monopoli

13/03/2026: Delicious spaguetti frutti the mare

14/12/2025: The food quality is very high, the service impeccable. I think it's a bit crowded due to the number of seats. I think the bathrooms need to be redesigned for disabled access (or maybe there are some and we just didn't see them). But all in all, considering the location, the value for money is excellent. The food is good, and the location is very convenient for a post-lunch or dinner stroll. I'd gladly return.

03/12/2025: Excellent food, excellent service, and truly friendly staff. The charming, clean, and tidy space allows for easy conversation. The staff's uniforms are attractive; the price is fair. We ordered a platter, followed by paccheri with swordfish and a veal tagliata, which arrived promptly. We'll definitely be back.

22/02/2026: Good pizza, but having to get up right after the bill for our group, including some out-of-towners, was unpleasant. It was like saying, "You've eaten, well, you can go now." We didn't intend to sleep there. A bad experience for me! We were piled on top of each other; I didn't even have room to get up and go to the bathroom.

10/01/2026: We ordered a portion of fries and two pizzas. The pizzas were cold, and the fries tasted like bell peppers. The curly-haired girl, insistent on taking our orders quickly, was also rude. Furthermore, she sprayed disinfectant liberally to clean the adjacent tables, not caring about the smell or whether it would end up on the pizza; doing this not only to us but to all the surrounding tables.

13/03/2026: Very tasty for fish and fruit lovers.

13/03/2026: The interior is cute, quite rustic, reminding me a bit of a tourist attraction inside an amusement park. The food is exceptional; I recommend the spaghetti all'assassina. I must say I noticed the high quality of the dishes, especially at the fairly reasonable prices. The service is a major flaw: they forgot our appetizers, misunderstood our order, didn't bring our drinks, and it took them five minutes to issue a bill. However, the overall quality is good; I'd gladly return.
