Top Traditional restaurants in Bari, Italy

Wir haben hier meinen Geburtstag Abend verbracht. Es war wunderschön. Tolles Ambiente, sehr liebe Mädels im Service und ganz tolles Essen zu fairen Preisen. Dieses Lokal ist eine absolute Empfehlung. Eine Tischreservierung ist auf jeden Fall erforderlich. Ich habe gesehen, wie viele Gäste ohne Reservierung wieder weggeschickt wurden.

This restaurant is truly exceptional, offering a culinary experience that delights the senses. The cuisine is crafted from only the finest quality ingredients, resulting in generous portions that satisfy even the most discerning palate. The wine selection is impressive, curated to complement the exquisite dishes served.

Despite operating limited hours for lunch and dinner, securing a table can be a challenge due to its immense popularity among discerning diners. I had the pleasure of dining here for both lunch and dinner on consecutive days, and it was evident that this restaurant is a sought-after destination for many.

The service is prompt and executed with a high level of professionalism, enhancing the overall dining experience. While I found the pricing to be reasonable, the presentation of the dishes exuded luxury and sophistication, and the flavors were simply divine.

A visit to this establishment is a must for anyone seeking a culinary journey of unparalleled quality and taste. The place is small and almost table to table but it has the Italian spirit although it is a bit noisy which I found very charming.

Great restaurant!!! It’s guarantee of high quality Italian food, great service and elegant location. Very particular Italian dishes enriched with international preparations and ingredients. SUPER RECOMMENDED!!

Delicious seafood and oysters. Place outstanding compare to restaurants in Bari - if you expect more, it’s definitely a place to check.
A bit more expensive, but atmosphere, quality of food and service pays off :)

Nearly inedible food (I had the fava bean with whole wheat pasta and shrimp), which was an effort to choke down. Flavorless, thick and frankly unappetizing. The blinking lights were headache inducing, as was the saccharin faux-jazz Christmas carols on a very short repeat loop. My server was perfectly nice, although the owner perched nearby didn’t seem to care, and no one ever asked how it was until after I paid the bill. Definitely worth skipping this one.

O wow! Food was sooo good, the cheese plate took taste of italy to the next level! The fish in salt was delicate and amazing. Mixed fish plate wasn’t my taste. House wine was also really good. And of course tiramissu ❤️
The sevice was really good, the ladies were very nice :) I would go back there :)

Wir waren eine Woche in Bari und haben an unserem letzten Abend hier gegessen.
Wir hatten eine wirklich sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Bedienung. In Bari kann man überall gut gegessen- hier war es aber wirklich ausgezeichnet! Ich würde wirklich sagen, das Beste Restaurant in ganz Bari! ❤️

Unlike many other cities, in Bari you can still find a place in the old town, which is not a classic tourist trap. A good example for this is the Osteria Le Arpie. Amazing homemade food and drinks, fantastic service, fabulous setting, all together a great experience. Thank you for doing such a good job, and having so much fun at the same time. Looking forward to coming back anytime soon.

Very nice presentation of the plates. Very nice atmosphere. A bit antic style but also elegant. Great service. My branzino fish came with kind of sweet salad and and potatoes cake gratin which all together is very particular mix but not really my taste. My bf took pasta with branzino which was well balanced and he really enjoyed the combination of red grapes with it. They also offered us a small “sporca musso” which was small dessert as thank you from the restaurant.

Good Italian food in the historic downtown. They seated us relatively close to their closing time and we were still there when they were already cleaning up yet we never were pressured to leave. Service was friendly - they even divided our pasta dish onto two plates so we could share. Pasta and cheese were good

My first impression was - Wow nice location, but after I‘ve asked 4-5 times for olive oil and salt & pepper I was getting suspicious.

I had homemade pasta with seafood.
To be honest, it was okay, but for my opinion no 4 starts worth. The other dish we had was sea food plate with octopus, big prawn and a baby squid.
For my taste it was overcooked and not easily to eat. This location has potential and maybe a bit better organized service.
Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️ of 5 stars.

I wanted to try it on my first visit in Bari but I did not find a place. I must have been lucky on my 2nd visit that I found the place by chance. I recommend making a reservation in advance. Food was great, prices were slightly above average. But it deserves because everything was delicious. I hope to come back one day.

edit: I visited again on June'23 and it's still great. We paid 64 euros for 2 people.

Overpompous is the perfect word to describe this place. Unfortunately the chefs talent is paired up with a false sense of expensiveness. The service as a whole is more complicated than it should be. We were greeted by an already full table, with a big ceramic head statue which had some breadsticks and a homemade sauce ( but we didn’t know how long they have been staying there ) and then brought one more bottle of water ( which we ordered still and got sparkling ), another plate with lemons and some bread. That’s enough to say that our appetisers had nowhere else to sit and were cramped together in a small corner, making it unaccessible for at least one of us. The plates for the main course were bigger than needed and got delivered with some dry ice that had no other purpose other than showing off. I ordered a lobster and didn’t receive a bowl to put the shells in, but still had the head statue on the table… At one time, the chef exited the kitchen with the gloves still on, went downstairs to the bathroom/closet area and went straight back in the kitchen. He might have changed them afterwards (hopefully), but it was still a gross impression. That being said, the prices of the dishes are on the expensive side for what the restaurant offers. They are very tasty, and deserve a full 5* rating, but the service and environment hardly deserves a 3*.

yummy🤤
the foods are very tasty with the nice plating as a plus.
you can enjoy their excellent service while listening to the elegant background music.

Nice place, friendly personnel.
Food was tasty and the quantity was also enough. Had to wait a bit long for the dishes but wasn't so disturbing.
Price was also acceptable.
They had only 0,33dl beer in bottle, offered only Heineken but later on we saw at other table also Beck's

We had a great seafood dinner here. Everything we ordered was brought quickly to the table (we were a group of eight). The food convinced taste wise as much as from an aesthetical point of view.
