The location is nice, in the main piazza in old town Bari. However the restaurant experience was not something I want to repeat. Our waitress looked distressed right from the start. She warned us that the kitchen would close soon (it was 2pm, quite a common time to get lunch in Bari) and we had to hurry up. The rest of the service followed suit, with our waitress extremely nervous and generally just unpleasant to deal with. The climax was reached when three out of four of our pasta dishes were clearly undercooked (believe me, this was way beyond "al dente" it was almost raw and white to the core) and she tried to educate us about how people eat pasta in Bari. Now, almost everybody at the table was born and raised in Bari and been living here for at least 40 years, and trying to educate us about eating pasta is the biggest insult she could make us all. In the end we managed to get the pasta done again with the apologies of the chef and another waiter served us. Generally the place looked nice, and the dishes looked genuine enough but I have a hard time recalling another place in which I was treated so badly by a waiter. Maybe it was just bad luck but I don't think I will return there...

the staff is rough and makes confusion, we had a reservation and they messed up between the winery - inalto il calice - and the restaurant; they made us wait for 15 minutes for a table that was free in the first place. We ordered the Crudo - raw sliced fish with cherries: I had to ask for oil to marinate it and bring to a decent balance the external/internal (frozen) temperature to be able to eat it. Then, we had to wait 45 minutes (calling the waiter that had no clue about what we had ordered and waiting another 15 minutes) for the main, a slow cooked lamb (cold) and orecchiette with octopus ragù (they brought me a sort of warm - not hot -soup of pasta - although it's called pasta asciutta for a reason), that I could not finish although I was hungry. At this point a waiter came to ask if everything was fine and we sent the dish back. can I bring you something else? thanks for asking, but it's not for you. the manager or owner did not look at me while preparing the bill or said anything. the wine was decent, they had just to put it in a fridge. They...

La mia esperienza alla Locanda di Federico, domenica 29 settembre, è stata nel complesso sufficiente, soprattutto considerando le aspettative che si possono avere da un locale collocato in una zona centrale e così frequentato da turisti. Sin dall’arrivo, l’impressione generale è stata che il ristorante fosse pensato principalmente per un pubblico di passaggio, più attento all’atmosfera pittoresca e alla posizione che alla qualità del cibo o al servizio.

Pietanze Per quanto riguarda il cibo, i piatti sono stati nel complesso discreti, ma niente di eccezionale. Abbiamo ordinato due antipasti, due primi e un pesce al sale. Gli antipasti, pur presentati in modo curato, erano piuttosto standard e mancavano di originalità o di sapori distintivi. I primi, sebbene accettabili, non hanno offerto particolari spunti di gusto o innovazione, rimanendo su livelli mediocri che non giustificano il prezzo pagato. Il pesce al sale, uno dei piatti principali che ci aspettavamo fosse il fiore all'occhiello della serata, è stato servito correttamente, ma senza quella freschezza e delicatezza che si auspicherebbe da un ristorante che propone piatti di mare.

Servizio Il servizio è stato altrettanto nella media, senza particolari slanci di cortesia o attenzione al cliente. Il personale è stato gentile, ma non particolarmente attento ai dettagli. Considerando il livello di prezzo del ristorante, ci si aspetterebbe un servizio più accurato e personalizzato. Invece, tutto è sembrato piuttosto meccanico, come se l’intero staff fosse abituato a servire un flusso continuo di clienti senza il minimo sforzo di rendere unica l’esperienza.

Prezzo Il prezzo è stato sicuramente la nota più dolente della serata: per due antipasti, due primi piatti e un pesce al sale da 800 grammi abbiamo pagato un conto di 135€, decisamente eccessivo rispetto alla qualità del cibo e del servizio ricevuto. In altre occasioni, con una cifra simile, è possibile vivere un’esperienza culinaria decisamente superiore. Qui, invece, si ha la sensazione di pagare soprattutto per la posizione del locale e per l’afflusso turistico, più che per un effettivo valore gastronomico.

Conclusioni In sintesi, la Locanda di Federico è un ristorante che punta chiaramente su una clientela di turisti, attratta dalla sua posizione e dal fascino storico della zona, più che dalla qualità del cibo o dal servizio offerto. Se cercate un luogo con atmosfera piacevole e una cucina discreta senza troppe pretese, potrebbe fare al caso vostro. Tuttavia, il rapporto qualità-prezzo lascia molto a desiderare e, per chi cerca una vera esperienza gastronomica, ci sono sicuramente opzioni migliori e più oneste in...

The restaurant was full, but we order starters and main corse, and we asked 3 waiters for the drink(an aperol spritz) and only when we recived the main corse they bring us the drink. I saw at other tables that they bring wine faster wich it doest seem correct to me. They bring us some foccacia before the starters from the house, and was good. The beef was a little chewing even if i ordered cooked medium. Very good serving, they give us detalis about what are made from and the origin of the starters. I saw others employes beside the waiters check the tables if everything was ok. At the end they appologise for the delay of drink, but I prefered to drink it before the food.

Overall, we had a good experience with friendly service. The food was enjoyable, though not particularly remarkable. The appetizer featuring different intensity olive oils was a standout and a really unique experience. The pasta with truffle was super tasty and even came with a small piece of real truffle, which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the cod and lamb chops fell a bit flat. The wine suggestion was a great match with our meal. The location is convenient, and the restaurant itself is cute. Just a tip—try to avoid sitting outside if you can, it gets really warm out there!

Was looking forward to a traditionally excellent meal in Bari. But in the week of Ferragosto do not expect anything grand - too many people on holidays at the same time and visiting the same places. The result - you cannot get a table for dinner if your life depended on it, and when you do you have to wait for 30minutes to be seated, 40 minutes to be served, and the food is average at best. This summarizes our experience at La Locanda di Federico. It might not be fair to expect more at the time we went, but I will not even try to visit this restaurant again.
