Service

When we first arrived at the restaurant for our 7.30 reservation the staff weren&rsquo;t ready to open so we went elsewhere for a drink.Once we returned the restaurant filled quickly and the food was superb.Our waiter, Davide, deserves a special mention as his service and advice on local wine was exceptional.

Very helpful wait staff that helped make great suggestions for entrees. Good location off of a main square, quiet yet lively in the distance. Food was excellent. We had an appi featuring different olive oils paired with the proper foods to eat them with. Had a roasted Octopus that was cut with a fork it was so tender. Great desserts and house made Amaro.  Well worth a visit.

The food &amp; service were excellent! Our only complaint was that the music was very loud and strange - loud enough to make conversation difficult and odd enough to have the music selection be the topic we were trying to discuss.

A small restaurant in the centre of town. From the very start we felt welcomed by all the staff. Courteous friendly and helpful. The selection on the menu was varied and all appealed. When we indicated that we intended sharing certain dishes it was no problem.  The ingredients are of high quality and all freshly cooked. This is Italian regional cooking at its best. Portions are generous without being excessive. Highlights were an appetiser based on asparagus with a yellow tomato sauce, delicious, thank heavens for bread to wipe the plate clean and not waste anything. The pasta with prawns and asparagus also excellent and would order again. . We shared a main based on sucking pig also excellent and perfectly cooked. Sadly too full for desert. We will probably return again even though only staying in the area for 4 nights. Thank you for an excellent enjoyable meal in your delightful restaurant.

The owners were very warming and friendly. I strongly recommend this restaurant as the food is fresh and served in good amount. If you go, you should book a table first as the restaurant was quite full.

We loved everything about this restaurant! Our waiter was fabulous and the experience of going to the counter to select our steak was fun. We had a local wine that was light and refreshing after a long travel day. Molto bene!

Apart from the fact that the entry level of wine was &euro;25 (great wine though) we had a lovely dinner with absolutely delicious food. (Christmas decorations could go down after Easter, but that&#39;s just a touch to be picky). Also the surroundings are magical. Must visit!

We went there on the New Year&rsquo;s Eve. Dishes were good and portion was very big. (Actually it was too big for me,  Maybe it was because of special Men&uuml;. )People were also nice, friendly, and supportive. I liked this restaurant so much.

The restaurant itself is lovely, nicely decorated. The food was delicious, fresh ingredients, pleasing to look at and eat! Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend to others.

We visited with friends and had a wonderful lunch! The portions were well sized and were able to comfortably have appetisers, first and second course. The ingredients were fresh and the food was delicious! Particularly enjoyed the meatballs, Orecchiette cemi di rapa and the Bombette. The interior was tastefully decorated, modern and clean. The service was attentive and fast (special thanks to our waiter for making us feel welcome and at home). Overall, a great experience that I recommend if you&rsquo;re in the area!

Stunning fresh seafood cooked in various local styles , charming service , I would re this for a special night out or date night . We got x 2 different fish and went with the recommendation of the waiter and we were not disappointed

What an amazing experience ! The restaurant is well decorated, people are very nice, everything is so tasty and the cocktails are incredible !! Many thanks for this special evening at your place ! We&rsquo;ll come back for sure

The most stunning setting for a meal, watching the sunset and the sea with the piano playing and perfect warm lighting in the restaurant. The service was both efficient and friendly. Gave recommendations for food and wine, all was incredible. Was a really special meal that we&rsquo;re so glad we made a reservation for during our time in Monopoli.

All was amazing. Lovely staff and impeccable food. The place is just magical.

We were staying overnight near Bari Centrale and found this gem of a restaurant near our AirBNB.Don&rsquo;t let the neighborhood fool you, this is a great restaurant with lovely ambience.Staff were friendly and efficient and spoke English fluently.The food was excellent, we had seafood meatballs, Carbonera, and Amatracina.  Fresh handmade pasta was excellent and sauces were rich snd tasty.  Tiramisu for dessert topped off things quite nicely.  The house red wine was quite good as well, although only sold by the glass versus carafes.If you find yourself by the Bari Train Station for an evening we would recommend Peppo without hesitation.

CarloQuinto was one of my favorite culinary experiences in Puglia. Gorgeous view of the ocean from your table and the staff is extremely efficient, kind, and hospitable. Every bite is a masterpiece and their Spritz is delicious! I really enjoyed my lunch here and would eat here every day if I could!

Not only was the sushi creative and delicious, the staff went out of their way to make our evening special. Someone in our family wasn&rsquo;t feeling well and there are no taxis in the area. Without hesitation, the staff offered to drive us home and refused to take any money for it. Truly service and small town kindness at its best. Grazie mille

Food was amazing best place we eat in Bari, staff are lovely and really helpful highly recommend. Found this place due to other recommendations well worth a visit for food!

Really enjoyable dining experience at Metae. Staff very welcoming. Service excellent. The food was exceptional. Really delicious and beautifully presented. The waiter was most helpful and accommodating and really took an interest in helping us make food choices that worked. Exceptional value for such high quality food. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

We were driving to Bari from Lecce and wanted to break for lunch. This popped up and the place is chic and has a elegant ambience for a celebration as well. We were there for casual lunch and the service was extremely friendly, patient and polite. We ordered our dishes as we ate as we couldn&rsquo;t decide how much we wanted to eat and the food arrived quickly as we ordered. Seafood of sea bass, prawns, scallops, salmon  were fresh and light and the sushi rice well seasoned. Highly recommended!

Excellent Korean, fun vibe. Would love to return to try their innovative cocktails, but we enjoyed a lovely rose wine. The sushi with bulgogi was excellent and the Kimchi fried veggies.

The food was good, but we especially liked the atmosphere. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The menu is also available in English. We booked through The Fork with a discount, but also without it you&#39;d definitely get value for your money. We only spent 2 days in Taranto, but otherwise we would definitely have been back.

Honestly one of the worst meals I&rsquo;ve had in 3yrs in living in Italy. The view is amazing and the wine list looked nice. That&rsquo;s where the positives end, alas. We ordered two pasta dishes and they took *over an hour* to arrive. And when they did the tortelli were undercooked (not al dente, legit hard). They apologized, but there&rsquo;s really no excuse to treat guests like this. To avoid.

I live in Bari now, I am from London where service is the key! I am a big believer in this. Often it&rsquo;s very hard to find a welcoming services here in Bari. With your restaurant I felt welcome, from the moment we stepped in to the moment we left.

Great service, awesome food with good ambiance! The fish and chips were amazing the hot wings were very delicious! Thanks for a great experience!

The presentation of the fresh catch pre ordering at the table. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ambience of dining area, framed by massive wood doors with view the piazza. Complementary digestives. Enthusiastic sommelier. Delicious and well presented meals.

Great selection of fresh local products prepared in a fabulous style. The service was impeccable, the local wines delightful. Sadly I didn&rsquo;t save room for dessert so I must go back!
