I ate here last week and didn't like it but I went back because I didn't realize it was the same place until I arrived. I didn't have a very good experience the first time but this time was a lot better.

The meal started great with my first course but I ordered the mixed fried seafood for second course and, while the shrimp were delicious, the calamari smelled and tasted fishy and were tough. I left almost all the dish over and when the waiter asked if it was okay I told him but he made a lame excuse that when the calamari are breaded and fried they dry out. I have had this dish numerous times and know that this is not true. I thought he was comp a dessert or a lemoncello but he charged me for both. They were only a few euros each and it would have been a nice gesture. I was there from when the restaurant opened at 7:30 until 8:45 and no one else came in. I guess they knew something that I didn't.

Food came rushed, sides were served way before the main and the main dishes came out apart, one person had to wait for the other and had a cold meal. The 7000 plus reviews must be a scam!

We loved everything about this restaurant! Our waiter was fabulous and the experience of going to the counter to select our steak was fun. We had a local wine that was light and refreshing after a long travel day. Molto bene!

The food was absolutely delicious. Pepper stark melted in my mouth. And the dessert a strawberry type of tiramisu was unbelievably scrumptious.

The place is off the beaten track and consequently was very quiet. Service was good. Welcoming very pleasant. We had the same dishes as the table next door but they were different. We received no bread and yet we’re charged the full coperreto of €4. Our food was fresh and beautifully cooked but our dish lacked the finishing touches of balsamico reduction that the table next to us had. It may seem trivial but it’s important to be consistent. It’s a nice place nice people and lovely decoration and food.

Unexpected hidden gem. Lots of great thing to say, but the price/quality ratio was the largest pleasant surprise.

The food is mediocre, but unfortunately they fool turists with the wine card. They brought us just a small card of wine with extremely expensive wines and we didn’t realize that there was other choices outside of the card. The result was very expensive for a dinner in Bari. Sad to take advantage of these things.

An un-expectedly ellegant place very well located in Borgo Vecchio, however with plenty of initmate atmosphere inside. Excellent service with 2 very knowledgeable, attentive but discrete waiters. Excellent cuisine from a very nicely balanced menu carte with both selection of Apulian as well as meat dishes.. Speciality in meat and the variety of top class steaks will make many salivate. The presentation of the dishes making one to really get hungry. A place I will certainly want to return when again in Bari and recommend to friends.

You have to go there! It’s the best service I ever had in my entire life. The meat (filet entrecôte) was also the best steak I have eaten so far. If you are in bari you have to go here! If you don’t go , you will miss an experience!
