Bari Restaurant Recommendation

💗We stumbled upon L'Osteria di Mario for dinner and were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant has a warm and cozy atmosphere, with exceptionally friendly staff. ⛱️They offer two great-value set menus: a €20 option including one main course, side dishes, and bread, and a €30 option that adds a second main course (such as grilled fish or stewed meat) along with a glass of their homemade specialty wine. 🍹We chose the €30 set menu. The appetizer platter featured local cheeses and cured meats—fresh and refreshing. 🌈 For the first main course, we tried handmade orecchiette pasta served with rich tomato sauce and Ricotta cheese—authentic and delicious! 🧀The second main course was grilled sea bass, cooked to perfection with crispy skin and tender flesh. The homemade wine was fruity and smooth, pairing perfectly with the seafood. 🥣Tucked away in an alley in the old town, this restaurant is popular among locals. We recommend arriving early or making a reservation for dinner. #BariFood #ItalianRestaurant #SouthernItalianFlavor
