    Il Rustico - Bread with sour cheese

    This is a hidden gem and a must dine …read more.. We visit Bari every year or so and on this visit we found this tiny restaurant near our rental. The prices were amazing - 8 euro for a full meal. Peroni beer and olives was the first course then followed by bruschetta (wonderful), a cheesy bread and 14? Pizza options . Every person gets their own pizza... and they weren't small pizzas either nor plain. My husband ordered a burrata and ham pie that was outstanding. My daughter ordered a vegetable pie with sausage but turned out to be hot dog (hmmm ?) and I ordered a delicious eggplant, squash and whatever other fresh veggies they happened to have around pie. As we are sitting there, the one fellow is slicing the fresh meats... the restaurant is beyond capacity and people are waiting outside and I can hear polish, Italian, British English and our own Itanglish languages flowing through the air. After the pie (which none of us could finish but they boxed up), we got a shot of limoncello and delicious vanilla sorbetto... (I mixed it ... it was really amazing.) If you visit Bari, please give this place a try. No regrets. Just get there by opening time as this establishment opens up and gets filled immediately. There's another 12 euro option that looked amazing with additional food but we couldn't eat all of that. (Although it looked like they left the limoncello bottle on the table.....) Great place!

    For 10€ you get: - an antipasti buffet…read more- a pizza - a large beer, soda or water - limoncello and lemon sorbet. You had me at antipasti buffet. Honestly I love this place for the experience. You sit down and semi-angry Italian men throw food in front of you for what seems like forever, and everything so delicious and freshly made. All you have to do is pick your pizza and whether or not you want antipasti, and if you don't want antipasti then don't bother coming here. My favorite pizza was the Krakow because of the speck and fresh creamy cheese. The atmosphere is definitely lacking but you get what you pay for, or in this case, more. You won't get a more authentic experience for your money in Bari.

    I went to Bari with my Frenchman and another couple. This was enthusiastically our best and most…read morefavorite meal. We arrived without reservation and were quoted a 40 minute wait. No problem as we amiably moved to the bar and ordered drinks while we waited. We were seated after 20 minutes. We all chose the 20 euro tasting menu which was a steal. It was incredibly delicious and we ended up sharing 9 dishes family style which was a mix of hot and cold dishes. We were so stuffed by the 6th dish but kept eating because the food was so delicious. An excellent choice to dine while your walking through the old town. The wine selection was good and my glass of rosé was only 4 euro. Total bill for 4 adults was 104 euro which included alcohol. Much much cheaper than the San Francisco prices we are unfortunately used to. You must visit! A few reviewers make note of a prolonged wait time upon being seated. This seems to be the norm in Puglia and shouldn't detract from a restaurant rating.

    The Ambience was a quaint Italian side street outside the restaurant with a little neighborhood dog…read moregoing table to table. The food was mediocre. The service and host were very lacking. Especially noted lack of service if you are not native Italian. Openly discriminatory to English, French, Netherlands. I'm not certain why so many people recommend this place. I would recommend so many other incredible places. Our party of four adults felt let down after hearing others reviews. The only foods that were above average was the brasciole sauce, NOT the meat itself, and the spiced potato skins. I give it 2 stars just for being IN Italy.
