10/10The food was absolutely delicious. Pepper stark melted in my mouth. And the dessert a strawberry type of tiramisu was unbelievably scrumptious.

7/10The 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.

10/10Unexpected hidden gem. Lots of great thing to say, but the price/quality ratio was the largest pleasant surprise.

5/10The 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.

10/10An 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.

10/10You 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!

9.5/10The food was excellent. The server was attentive and explain the difference between the different cuts. They wheel out the sizzling steak which is quite a show. We would highly recommend this place.

8.5/10Brilliant local and quality food complemented with good service with a personal touch! I had a cut of very nice dry aged meat and they came to cut it for me at the table. Very nice experience. They (or at least the waiter we had) understand hospitality really well. However, my dish came 10 minutes later than my partner’s. In addition to this, our first drinks together with the appetizer. We were also placed next to the toilet door which was a big minus. Maybe this was because we booked online via TheFork? Overall, very good experience and definitely would recommend!!

8.5/10Very good service! The steak for two was good, a bit too salty. Very good appetizers! A bit too hot in the restaurant because of the hot stones, but you get used to it! Would come back!

8.5/10Steak was excellent and the restaurant was a nice place. Maybe a lack of extras on the menu to have with the streak, eg the vegetables was just spinach for six euros. The service was slow but I don't blame the waiters, the restaurant was very understaffed, the waiters all tried to go as fast as they could but there were only a couple of them in a busy place, so they need to hire a few more people

10/1010/10 review for this restaurant that we visited last night. Overall an outstanding meal from the wine to the tomahawk steak that we had. Georgio is a credit to this restaurant with his knowledge of food and wine and was very helpful on explaining the menu to us. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely return if we are back in bari again. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.

10/10My boyfriend and I booked a table for a relaxing, delicious lunch and we got exactly that. The food was amazing, we both got pasta and it was perfection. The dessert that was suggested by the server was the best part. It was panna cotta with fresh strawberries and caramel sauce and it was divine. 10/10 recommend visiting this restaurant.

9/10A great place if you want to enjoy good Italian cuisine and especially if you like red meat well grilled on the BBQ. An original setting and a very good service. I recommend 100% if you wish to enjoy a nice evening with friends or family around good food and good wine. We tried a couple restaurants in Bari, and this one seemed to not be the "tourist attraction", which is a good thing in my opinion.

5/10Very busy restaurant. Sadly our orders weren’t served in full, service was very bad due to lack of staff or organization. One of our meals had an issue - the restaurant did apologize and take it off the invoice though.

10/10We had a wonderful experience on Pugliese cuisine. George and his colleague are super considerate and friendly. We followed their recommendation and had a very pleasant meal! We will not hesitate to revisit and recommend anyone else considering where to eat to make their first of many visits.

4/10Beef strips didn’t make me excited at all, ordinary quality like in ordinary restaurant, don’t know why the rating is high in Tripadvisor. The receptionist didn’t find my booking which I made via The Fork, so they gave me a table close to the reception desk and therefore every new comer touched my table at least once when arrived and was passing me by.
