I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterraneanella città Bitonto della Bari

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.
