08/06/2026: The pasta with lobster is fantastic and the fried food is excellent. Very good.

07/06/2026: You eat by the sea, excellent location and the owner is very attentive to customers.

02/06/2026: Sublime dishes, impeccable service, the 5 stars are deserved and real.

28/05/2026: Everything was truly "wonderful" in name, but above all in fact!!! The staff was truly kind, professional, and highly trained! Each dish was a journey between tradition and innovation (the chef was also excellent).

19/05/2026: The meal was excellent and refined, the staff were pleasant, and the setting was lovely. Despite a strong wind, we felt completely comfortable on the veranda. In short, a perfect meal 👍

15/05/2026: An extreamly „nice view“ Veranda where frutti di mare is well prepared and friendly served. I recommend to go with the catch of the day accompanied with salad and vegetables. Enjoy!

12/06/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On a beautiful sunny morning in Altamura, we stopped at this historic bakery for brunch, and the experience was truly excellent. We had the opportunity to sample several traditional local specialties: from fragrant friselle drizzled with excellent olive oil, to authentic Altamura bread, to pizza and focaccia from Bari, all prepared with quality ingredients and with that authenticity that is evident from the first bite. The variety of products is remarkable, and every bite confirms the care and experience of those who work at this bakery every day. Another particularly appreciated aspect is the quality-price ratio, which is decidedly reasonable considering the excellence of the offerings. The staff was courteous, helpful, and quick in their service, helping to make our visit even more enjoyable. The option of sitting at the outdoor tables and enjoying these specialties in complete relaxation was also very pleasant. A stop absolutely worth a visit for anyone wishing to discover the authentic flavors of Altamura and Puglia's culinary traditions. Highly recommended.

12/06/2026: The octopus sandwich was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's a great place for a lunch break, as there's a place to sit and a clean bathroom.

21/03/2026: A lovely, welcoming place in the center of Bitonto, behind the beautiful Romanesque cathedral. It's a restaurant and pizzeria, and the staff is friendly and helpful. They're very attentive to their guests' requests. We were there for a group dinner with a pre-arranged menu; they took into account any allergies and special needs. The owner of the restaurant personally made sure everything was running smoothly and explained the dishes we'd be trying. He also gave us a lesson in extra virgin olive oil tasting. On the table were four different varieties of Moncultivar olive oil (Leccino, Coratina, Peranzana, and Piccholine) from Apulian producers. We paired the various oils with bread, an appetizer, a first course, and a second course. The bread was homemade. They also brought a focaccia. The appetizer included a meat tartar, a lactose-free tart, and a beef carpaccio. Then came a risotto with artichokes, crusco peppers, and caciocavallo cheese. Then came a suckling pig topped with a delicious cream. And for dessert, a warm chocolate cake with almond crème brulee. They chose the wine, but it was good. The place filled up quickly. The name of the place is inspired by the "patriarca," a name given to the centuries-old olive trees found in Puglia.

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.

15/05/2026: Excellent tradition, everything too good!

28/04/2026: Excellent pizza, friendly staff, excellent service... recommended...♥️♥️

19/04/2026: Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place due to the absolutely exorbitant prices. I'm sorry, but paying €20 for a seafood risotto is outrageous!

18/04/2026: Simply a guarantee. The location, cuisine, and staff are top notch.

10/06/2026: We received very delicious food, very quickly.

03/06/2026: If you want to eat fresh fish in a historic place, this is the right place.

12/05/2026: I discovered this splendid venue for a First Communion. The location is breathtaking, with its manicured greenery surrounding it and the enchanting atmosphere. It features several rooms with glass windows overlooking the fountain, whose water features add a touch of charm. The food is excellent, beautifully plated and served by the staff, always attentive to the guests' needs. The owners' friendliness and professionalism, consolidated by years of experience, are another highlight of this splendid venue. We were fortunate to be in the room hosted by a charismatic professional—Riccardo De Luca—who, with his simply amazing voice from the first notes, his comic performances, and his empathy, accompanied us throughout the day, demonstrating great artistic versatility and a natural ability to entertain the audience. *Arcade* certainly remains a go-to place for celebrating any occasion that requires a touch of class and a distinctive touch.

11/05/2026: Beautiful and well-maintained facility, Vito the restaurant manager is knowledgeable and helpful, the food is excellent, and the waiters are very friendly. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

13/09/2025: Everything was very good and the staff were very kind and helpful.

07/09/2025: Worst sandwich I've ever eaten, and incredibly expensive! Free Pac-Man at the door is brilliant!

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

08/05/2026: We went there as part of a tasting included in a guided tour. It was okay, but nothing special...

22/04/2026: A bit of confusion, maybe because it was Sunday

26/04/2026: Top pizza, fried food and first courses

26/04/2026: Four beers without even glasses at a table for six. They don't even want to take out the umbrellas. Unspeakable staff.

06/05/2026: Friendly and original aqua dining option

03/05/2026: Communication with tourists is difficult, both in English and Spanish. They offer side dishes vaguely, without specifying whether they're included in the menu when you ask (like salad or fries), and then charge exorbitant prices. We spent 70 euros for two tiny dishes. I don't recommend it.

27/01/2026: excellent place, good service, not bad value for money
