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 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!

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.

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!

Food was exceptional and service was outstanding. Michele waited on us throughout the night, nothing was a problem, he spoke very good English which was helpful. Lovely evening, beautiful food, amazing staff. Couldn&rsquo;t fault this place.

The service was incredible. We had two servers helping us out, explaining the dishes (what made them local and what made some of them more modern), and making us feel welcomed. The ambience was a little different than expected but just because it was calmer, not because it was bad. The spaghetti assassini are an absolute must-have, an absolute reference for the dish.

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.

I had the pleasure of dining at Variet&agrave; recently, and it was a fantastic experience. The octopus was expertly cooked&mdash;tender and flavorful, with a delightful char that made each bite memorable. The tuna was equally impressive, fresh and perfectly seasoned, showcasing the chef&#39;s skill. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I highly recommend Variet&agrave; for anyone craving Italian dishes. I can&#39;t wait to return!

Definitely worth a visit, awesome service, generous hospitality, they are eager to please and accommodate. Their specialty is focaccia sandwiches and they are great at it. Local flavors galore. Will come back again, 100%! Thank you!

We&rsquo;re vegetarians and we had many great options. The Melanzane alla parmiggiana and the the vegetarian board were amazing. The list of wines and beers is incredibly long, it&rsquo;s difficult to choose from but they help you with that.

A very nice place in the old town of Bari with awesome crafted beers and great food. It wortha a visit whenever you are in town

We were here yesterday evening and it was great. The young waitress was very adorable and has taken care of us all the time. Due to our extra wishes, the chef has come out several times, to make sure he prepares it exactly the way we wanted it to be. He then served us our food with full enthusiasm and also came to us afterwards to make sure that we really liked it. The drinks from the bartender were very good and he himself was very friendly. All around a great ambience, great delicious food, great service and we can only recommend!

This restaurant is known for its fantastic truffle-based dishes. The tagliolini with truffle is addictive and a true delight for the palate!

This amazing fusion is an expression of Italian love for food meets Azian view of preparation. We love to come back every time we are in Bari, and we haven&rsquo;t been disappointed so fare. The outdoor ambient is unbeatable, if you are lucky and weather is on your side.

A small cafe with a friendly and helpful staff. Limited menu but enough choices that it is easy to find things to enjoy. Desserts were especially delicious

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with professional service that enhances the dining experience. The appetizers and pizza are consistently top-notch, making it a reliable choice.

The food was very tasty and nicely presented. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, and helped us choose the best options. Prices were very reasonable, and lots of the dishes and sauces are vegan friendly. You can also sit on swings to eat, which were more comfortable than I expected!

It&#39;s in a busy restaurant, located on a narrow pedestrian street with other restaurants and the famous  Portughese Patisseria (sp?) (for dessert) food is tasty, service attentive. Great for watching people &amp; people watching you if you are seated outside. The cooks are located in the back &amp; they are like actors in an intensive drama. Actually I wish I could have see them whip up the dishes as they seem to have everything coordinated like an orchestra.

The guy serving was very nice and helpful, he also speaks English very well.The food selection is quite limited, the obligatory ones were brought, but if you want a fantastic gastronomic experience, do not choose this restaurant.The octopus was a bit chewy, the shrimp in the salad was delicious and fresh, but had an uncharacteristic taste.The children ate a trio of fried octopus, squid and crab, which was fine.I liked the tiramisu.The prices are a bit excessive.

The service was excellent,&rdquo;. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was very good but not the best Greek food I&rsquo;ve ever eaten. I&rsquo;m being very picky, I would be happy to eat there again. And the quantity of food was very generous. I struggled to finish my meal and my wife ate only half of her meal.

Vey nice and cozy restaurant facing the sea. The quality is very high and the service has been great. I woudl recommend it every time you are in Bari.

This place is a hidden gem! The combination of excellent food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices makes it a must-visit when in Bari.

Very interesting a la carte menu combining some typical Puglian ingredients in imaginative and unexpected ways. Desserts were also delicious and very beautifully presented, some with unusual flavours which worked very well. Good selection of wines with reasonably priced options. Helpful and attentive service made the meal special.

This restaurant offers an extraordinary dining experience in the heart of Bari, with excellent food and professional service that truly stands out.

I highly recommend making a reservation, as this restaurant can get quite busy. The food quality is top-notch, and the service is generally very good, contributing to a pleasant dining experience.
