The orecchiette with braciola ragu was really good, definitely a hearty dish, but I much prefer this sauce to the more known cime di rapa sauce. We also ordered a mixed seafood grill and the grilled capocollo (pork). read more

Food: no Service: ok Decor: tourist trap serviceable Don't come. Fly away. Don't be seduced by the seasoning vapours from next door or elsewhere . It's not health department advisory terrible/ however, definitely regrettable. The bathroom was the first sign. There was a pool but no swimming. If you know your late night crowds hit and miss the pee spot, please please mop and sanitize during the dinner shift. I ordered swordfish. It arrived dry, a hard, white slab of something I could use to slap someone. It was accompanied by oil drenched melanzane and zucchini pan fried within an inch of life. I covered everything with fresh pepper because there was zero seasoning. For why? This is the Mediterranean. God gave you so much and you gave me so little? Bye! read more

We stumbled onto this place in the old city. It was nestled in an archway opening to a courtyard. Our server was a young Barese woman who was extremely helpful even though she spoke no English. We enjoyed three typical Barese dishes, a fava bean terrine with mussels, grilled vegetables (wafer thin slices of eggplant and zucchini grilled) and the highlight, tiedda Barese (a paella-like baked dish with potatoes, rice and mussels). We have had fava bean purée many times, but usually with cicoria, never with mussels. There was also a little garlic in it which is unusual. That said, it was delicious and opened new avenues for our own cooking. The grilled vegetables were enhanced by a very tasty EVOO. The tiedda (which some spell tiella) was the big surprise. It was outstanding and had a quality of a Barese comfort food. We paired everything with a house white from Puglia. Not only did we have great food, excellent service and a lovely setting, but also, it was not that expensive. read more
