A bit touristy, yet good.
Great regional cuisine.
Very friendly and nice food ;)
Tasting appetizer- 7 plates - very good.
The orichiette had great flavor but not al dente- way undercooked and still hard. It needed to cook at least one more minute. Two of us shared the above and it was more than enough.
Si sta bene e si mangia bene
Really good
service a bit slow in busy times
Very appetising starters - 7 plates. Would recommend just having them only if you don't want a full blown mega meal.
Nice place for lunch and dinner!
The location is nice, in the main piazza in old town Bari. However the restaurant experience was not something I want to repeat. Our waitress looked distressed right from the start. She warned us that the kitchen would close soon (it was 2pm, quite a common time to get lunch in Bari) and we had to hurry up. The rest of the service followed suit, with our waitress extremely nervous and generally just unpleasant to deal with. The climax was reached when three out of four of our pasta dishes were clearly undercooked (believe me, this was way beyond "al dente" it was almost raw and white to the core) and she tried to educate us about how people eat pasta in Bari. Now, almost everybody at the table was born and raised in Bari and been living here for at least 40 years, and trying to educate us about eating pasta is the biggest insult she could make us all.
In the end we managed to get the pasta done again with the apologies of the chef and another waiter served us.
Generally the place looked nice, and the dishes looked genuine enough but I have a hard time recalling another place in which I was treated so badly by a waiter.
Maybe it was just bad luck but I don't think I will return there in the future.
