Mar 03, 2026"A really nice spot right in the heart of Bari. The seafood was fresh and crispy without being greasy, which is rare for deep-fried dishes. There was plenty of tender calamari, octopus and shrimp, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Service was quick, ideal for a short break while exploring the city. As a bonus, you can sit nearby and enjoy a great view of the Duomo. Definitely worth stopping by for a quick and tasty bite."

The fried fish, calamari and octopus were perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful inside – you can really taste the freshness. The lady running the place was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole experience feel warm and personal. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality you get. It’s one of those spots where you can tell everything is prepared with care and passion. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!"

Sometimes fried seafood can become tasteless or lost in the batter...not the case at all here. Highly recommended."

My husband had the cod nuggets for one. The sign on the door says each order is fried to order so you have to wait. It came very hot, beautiful fresh squid, octopus, cod and prawns for me. My husband pronounced his cod excellent. They also do chips but we didn’t bother. Worth stopping for a tray fill!"

Dec 06, 2025"We have ordered several meals and it was totally worth it! I recommend buying mixed meal for 10,90 € , since it has many different types of fish in it. Moreover , we also bought potato balls with salmon , again , worth it. There is only one guy cooking and taking orders. You should be a professional if you can do these 2 things at the same time all alone. It is also great that he speaks English and is polite to his customers. 10/10. If you are nearby you should definitely visit this place."
