Il Quarto Storto -Trattoria — Restaurant in Bitonto

We enjoyed the apparent madness of the place but we were in no hurry, killing time before early to bed for an early flight the next day. One very personable young man appeared to be setting up tables as required, waiting on tables himself, cooking the food in the kitchen on his own and serving drinks and operating the cash only til. As a result the meal took ages, although beers kept coming and our host would disappear for longer spells as he cooked. He was charming, apologetic and took time to explain his philosophy! The food was ok, individual starters on their own were a little small but we had opted not to have the full anti pasti starter. All customers ate outside in the small courtyard a few metres from the cathedral walls and a lively square, lovely. Inside the trattoria was beautiful. I have a sense it isn't always like this but who knows, we might look in again next time we are there for a flight....

Mugged off. I do not recommend. We were charged €40 for what was basically 6-8 small plates with barely any effort put into them. To give you an idea: one slice of cheese, one slice of chorizo… one caramelised onion, in total the ingredients couldn’t have cost more than €10 for the entire “starter menu” Yes, the food was nice, but nowhere near worth that price.

When we arrived and asked for a menu, we were told there weren’t any clearly so the owner could dictate the price. Later, he asked his waitress for something and she accidentally brought over… a menu. You could see the panic on his face.

The service itself was fine, but the owner was completely over the top trying to mask the fact he was over pricing us. If you do go, avoid the so-called “starter menu” and insist on seeing prices before ordering.

If you don’t see a menu, don’t stay. Absolute rip-off. Frankly made our last night in Puglia abit sad....

So we came in, nobody paid attention and there were barely people, so we decided to sit outside. Of course nobody have noticed us, so my boyfriend, went inside to ask for a menu. And the waiter said, that they don’t have any menus, since they are changing the menu every day, which is strange, because you can always write it by hand or at least say it ( what you serve, offer or have). He also asked us if we could change our seats (to be closer for them to walk). Another waitress approached us, what kind of water we want, but we wanted to know, what they are serving today. She left, with words, she will be back. But unfortunately everything took so much time and we were too hungry, just to wait and have some water. I had big expectations, since they have many good...
