Armonia Barivecchia is an absolute gem in the heart of Bari! From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality, a cozy, atmospheric setting, and an immediate sense that you’re about to experience something special.
The food? Simply outstanding! Every dish is crafted with care and passion, but the highlight for me was the Paccheri con stracciatella, gamberi e pistacchio—a true masterpiece. The creamy stracciatella blends perfectly with the freshness of the shrimp, while the pistachios add the perfect crunch and depth of flavor. It’s one of those dishes that you remember long after the meal is over!
The service is top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring a fantastic dining experience. The atmosphere is equally impressive—intimate, full of charm, and capturing the essence of Bari’s old town.

When we simply asked for a wine recommendation, we were rudely referred to the drinks menu. A second waiter, on the other hand, was very friendly. We also had to wait a very long time for each course while the staff ate next to us. In addition, both the starter and the main course were burnt. The tomato sauce with the pasta was far too salty for our taste. They did offer to serve us the burnt octopus again, but as we had been waiting so long for our food, we didn't have the patience.
