TheForkUserLa Moderna Brace di Vincenzo Somma: A Carnivore’s Cathedral Hidden in Bari’s Backstreets Tucked away in the humble backstreets of Bari, Italy, where you might expect only the scent of Nonna’s ragù wafting through cobblestone alleys, there lies a temple of flame, flesh, and full-bodied flavor—La Moderna Brace di Vincenzo Somma. As a die-hard fire cook and unapologetic steak lover, I walked in expecting a good meal. What I got was a revelation. This place isn’t just a steakhouse—it’s a world emporium of beef. Step inside and you’re greeted not by a menu, but by what feels like a passport to the finest cattle breeds across the globe. Aberdeen Angus from the Scottish Highlands, rich and earthy. Jersey Cow from Denmark, unbelievably marbled and velvety. Argentinian Ribeye, kissed by the Pampas wind and practically humming with flavor. And let’s not forget the bone-in beauties from Northern Spain, aged to perfection, each bite a primal symphony of fat, char, and smoke.
TheForkUserAbsolutely beautiful food, but more than anything, incredibly fresh !!!
_TI***zfThis restaurant offers a unique and charming atmosphere, perfect for a cozy dinner. The service was excellent, and the food quality was top-notch, especially the vegan burgers and homemade desserts.
TheForkUserWe were so lucky to find this cracking little seafood restaurant on the ocean front. The staff were super friendly and spoke good English as my Italian isn't great and still learning. They were kind and patient with us. The food was full of flavour and tastes great. We wish we had time to go back for more.

TheForkUserExcellent food ( from appetizers to desserts) and very tasty wines ( we have ordered their own white Sovrano of which we have purchased a couple of bottles after dinner). All staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommendable location.
TheForkUserThe setting looks a bit like a cantina but the personnel is really nice. It is simple but nice. The pizzas were delicious. The service very good and smiling. Will go back with pleasure
TheForkUserThe service was good, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food, on the other hand, was basic but tasted good. There were many fried dishes on the menu and too few fresh options, which you would expect from a place by the seaside. There was no fish, seafood, or fresh salads.
TheForkUserA great restaurant situated in a bustling neighbourhood. We were made to feel welcome the second we walked in. The staff and the food were equally excellent. I highly recommend.
_TI***ziThe pizza here is fantastic, with excellent quality ingredients and a light, digestible dough. The staff is friendly and attentive, making for a great dining experience.
TheForkUserGreat quality food. Tasty and well presented.... and the red wine was sublime! Lot of different dishes to choose from, fish, meat, pasta and pizzas. Kind and friendly service
TheForkUserThis gem of a restaurant next to the sea is the epitome of the Puglian experience. The ambiance is gorgeous, clean and simple. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. The food is extraordinary,, fresh and perfectly prepared. The wine list was also generous and the sommelier was extremely helpful.
_TI***2sThe family-run vibe of this place guarantees delicious and plentiful sandwiches. The diaphragm burger is a must-try!
