While passing through Bari on our vacation In Puglia, my husband and I found this great restaurant with a unique concept: a pay-by-weight system where you fill your plate with anything you want to any amount you want. This was perfect for us as we were able to taste several local specialties in one meal and all for a very reasonable price. It seems the menu, written on a large chalkboard above the hot buffet bar, changes daily and differentiates between vegetarian and meat dishes.
The food was excellent. The numerous diverse dishes offered did not take away from the superb quality of each dish. I should know because I tried nearly everything! There were appetizer, side, main, and dessert course options (including a build-a-salad area).
The best part is that the owners and chef speak English, so they were able to describe each dish to us in great detail. There was also a bar-like area near the front window where you can bring in your laptop, chill, and work away with FREE WI-FI. There were also electrical plugs for charging, a rare necessity lacking in most other Puglian cafes/restaurants. I highly recommend -- this place is only a 7-10 min walk from the central train station! read more
