I did some Google research, and this place was one of the most popular spots in Bari for this dish. I came here for lunch, and the place was busy; luckily, I got a table right away. The restaurant's design is very simple but pretty, and the entire place seemed very clean. My waiter was very fast - he brought the menu right away after I got seated and was ready to take my order immediately. I checked the menu very quickly just out of curiosity - it has a very good selection of Italian dishes. Another plus is that the menu is available in both Italian and English. As planned, I ordered Spaghetti all'Assassina and a cup of black tea (I wanted Earl Grey, but they only had a basic black tea). First, my waiter brought a small plate of chips as a starter, and my tea came in a very small cup (like a kid's size) right after. Honestly, the tea was not good - it tasted like a very cheap brand; the restaurant definitely needs to improve its tea selection. My Spaghetti all'Assassina arrived within the next 10 minutes. The portion was big, and the dish looked very cool - visually, I was already impressed. As for the taste - I loved it! It was definitely worth trying this dish at least once. The texture is very interesting and mixed - some spaghetti is soft, while some parts are dry and crispy. I could clearly taste rich tomato flavor, along with some smoky and slightly spicy notes. The portion was so big that I had a hard time finishing it, even though I came very hungry. One helpful tip from my experience - this dish does not go well with hot tea, so don't repeat my mistake. If I could change my drink, I would choose refreshing mineral water, ideally with lemon - I believe it would pair much better with this pasta. Price-wise, everything on the menu seemed reasonable. I paid €13 for Spaghetti all'Assassina, €3 for tea (it would feel right if the cup were bigger), and an additional €3 for coperto (cover charge for table setup and the chips they brought me at first), so my total bill was €19. The restaurant accepts all major credit cards and Apple Pay. In conclusion, if you are looking to eat Spaghetti all'Assassina or try it for the first time, this restaurant is definitely the right place for it. Also, other dishes I saw on nearby tables looked very good, so this place is worth visiting at least once.

We tried to go back a second time but we're too late and too hungry to wait. The atmosphere is a classic pizzeria with low lighting, painted walls, and an open pizza oven. As budget travelers, we were feeling very fancy! The servers all spoke English and were very helpful! We got the house red, which is a nice regional Negroamaro, and the small antipasti platter. It was HUGE!! The cheese was some of the freshest I've ever had, and it was a nice variety of mozzarella and had a big burrata ball. Definitely a must-order. If you choose to order pasta, everyone has to get the same type because they just make one big batch for the table. The server suggested their special with clams and tomatoes and it was delicious! Big portions and with a good amount of seafood. Overall, my favorite thing was the cheese but everything was delicious. Five stars because you can't get a better deal in such a nice atmosphere.

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!

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.
