Our shard Venetian mussels were delicious, the first pasta course was not only masterly crafted, but sizewise almost to share. The main course, a whole grilled fish, just amazing. Desserts, and had tried a few are very yummy. My favorite was the ricotta cake. Don't forget an assortment of some very local after dinner drinks.

The best meal we've had in Italy this trip, and that is very high praise!! Wow!!…read more We spoke with the owner about our choices for lunch. We chose a small antipasti (mixed vegetables), pasta and a couple of secondi. As I had grown up eating goat meat in the West Indies, the goat was an easy choice. We were overwhelmed by the quality of the food. Fresh, perfectly cooked, beautifully presented - a with a flair by friendly (and humorous) servers! Look at our pictures for evidence, but you'll note I'd already started my goat dish before I could take a picture!! It was the best goat preparation I've ever had in my life - so much flavor, so incredibly tender. Oh, my....

Came here while visiting San Giovanni Rotondo for the Padre Pio sanctuary. Family vacation in Italy…read morebrought me to Bari area and after 7 hour drive from southern Italy in September my family and I checked into a cute hotel and asked for restaurant recommendations--it was a Thursday evening in September and there was not many places available. Side note--locals tend to eat a late dinner so a lot of Italian restaurants open late (this one I believed opened at 7:30pm). It's a little more upscale than the others I had seen. For instance, the other restaurants in area offer a "menu touristico" which is pretty much a 3-course meal at a set price. This location was mainly a la carts and although prices were higher they weren't terribly high. We spent about €80 for dinner for five people which included beer and sparkling water. The ambiance looks classy and upscale (we felt a little underdressed)--service was decent. Food had mixed reviews. Portions looked small but I felt were pretty filling. The good comments on food were that the sauce in pasta tasted very fresh and the pasta (which was handmade) was also very good. So so comments were that some of the dishes were too salty. Personally I had the spaghetti with olives and sausage so that's the only one I can truly speak to--the pasta was perfectly al dente (which I find hard to do at home with spaghetti) the sauce resembled fresh crushed tomatoes and not watery or oily at all. I don't eat olives that much but I think that's what made the dish salty for my Dad who ordered the same thing. The sausage is crumbled sausage and is mixed into sauce.

As you walk in, you are in the ground floor wine bar-restaurant. The walls are covered with wine bottles and there are tables to sit at as well as a beautiful bar. But if you are more hungry than thirsty, then take a walk up the gorgeous blue granite stairs to the upstairs restaurant. Shortly after we sat down, the owner and chef, Nicola Russo, joined us at our table. He asked if we had any dietary restrictions and what our wine preferences were. There were no menus! He selects the freshest seasonal ingredients available and then puts together surprises! We were not disappointed! Everything was to die for scrumptious! The presentation of each plate was a work of art - for your eyes and for your stomach! Nicola is a professional sommelier and chef, so I can guarantee you won't be disappointed here! Grazie mille, Nicola, per una giornata splendida! Ci vediamo il prossimo anno! --Jacira e Donato
