Est! Vineria con cucina Enoteca Naturale — Restaurant in Bari

We did not quite know what to expect when we stepped inside the quaint restaurant Est!. Walls filled with bottles was a pleasant greeting of what was to come. What the owner, Mario, lacks in english skills, he makes up for with patience, international bodylanguage and a black belt in wine!

After communicating what kind of wines we usually like we sat down to a serving of antipasto and wines selected by Mario. I cannot stress enough on how truly fantastic each dish was and how profoundly confused we felt as the food just kept coming! The wines were so beautifully selected, matching both to our taste and to the food!

We made sure to come back later in the week to buy some of his wines. Yet again a brilliant host and gentleman as we browsed through his wide assortment of natural wines from all over the world.

If you are going to Bari and you like good food and wine Est! is highly recommended and if you like natural wines it is even a must!

Mario, the proprietor, is friendly and patient with us even though we don’t speak any Italian. If you like natural wine and good food,...
