“ I recommend this place 100% ! Our host in Bari recommended this restaurant and told us it could be difficult to have a table without a reservation but we tried and went when it opened. The staff was SO lovely and asked us two slots. They all speak English and help you with the menu ! Everything was delicious and local ! ”
“ This place was a lovely break from pizza and pasta as they don't serve either. We went for the tasting menu and had a really good meal. We managed to get a seat outside, and the place was full with people queuing to get a seat. The ambience was amazing and would def recommend it. ”
“ We were recommended this restaurant by our Airbnb hostess and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of dining here. We had the tasting plate and they were delicious. Highly recommend booking. ”
“ A nice restaurant in the heart of old town. Booked by calling, we came and chose our table. The waiters are super friendly, kind and suggested us some plates. We took a burrata, some meat cuts - both were good. Also a parmigiana bianca and vitello (don’t remember the name of the dish). Everything was tasty, fine, nice. Thanks! ”
“ We came here through a recommendation. We had the tasting menu (it was 5 of us and the price is 25€/person) and the food was very good - it was not the typical pizza, pasta but local food. Service was nice and the location is situated on a cozy back alley. Beware, the tasting menu is not small. It was 5 of us and we could not finish all the food. 100% recommend it - food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. ”
“ Everything was just perfect from start to finish. Stand out dishes were the baked fennel ‘gratinata’ , mussels with potatoes and rice which , although a local dish I had never tried because of the double carbs, but it was fantastic. The white parmigiana also a first for me , but simply wonderful. Can’t wait to come back ”
“ So we ended up here while looking for dinner. Very cute place. Food was so so so good, honestly. We’ve had the tasting menu for 3 persons and not even half way through we felt full - but dishes kept on coming. Prices for everything was super reasonable. Lots of Italians eating there. You have to try Caciocavallo if you’ve never had it. I can recommend this place to everyone - 10/10. ”
“ Great little restaurant tucked away in a corner of the old town. Recommended to us by a local pharmacist. We had the local wine and sample menu which was amazing. We actually couldn’t eat the last dish. Staff were really nice and friendly. Definitely recommend ”
