Before we arrived in Bari we had browsed Instagram and found La Staffa to be a present superpower. As we love natural wines we knew we had to go there.
Even before we came Andrea was doing a great job answering questions on Instagram. Andrea really made us feel welcome, excellent communicating and people skills!
We were served an excellent antipasto with beautiful handpicked ingredients. The wines that Andrea picked out for us were at a high stable level, all a pleasure to experience!
Later in the evening the chef Aspreno came by and even if we were full to the limit, the sandwiches he made us were devoured with pleasure and lust! Knowing what we know now, we urge everbody to go and try out this wonderfully crazy chefs sandwiches! The flavours were so brilliant! I have no doubt in my mind when I say that I had the best sandwich in my life there!
In the end we got to talk to the owner, Massimo, who owns another restaurant, Il Canto. And after some lovely conversation about wine, food and Bari we promised to visit him at his restaurant the next day!

Thank you Gabriele! -...

So we went for a quick shopping at La Staffa and Andrea was a great help. He recommended some cool wines very fast and decisive. He’s definitely the one to trust if you ask for recommendations. Kyathos del poggio with smooth bubble, fine maceration and fresh crispy flavor. Ex alba was an excellent and smooth orange wine, which definitely made our day even...
