Al Coltello

We love this place!!! We ordered the poker (from the English menu) which was a lineup of 4 bruschette. This was fantastic. My friend and I also shared the club sandwich which had a few different types of raw fish, lime ricotta, onion, and tomato. Both were great and the owner was so so kind. For other tourists, just know this is simply a fish spot, so no pizza or pasta if that’s what you’re specifically looking for. Given that bari is a seafood town, we knew we wanted seafood only.

First place we ate in Bari and it was difficult to think of going anywhere else afterwards. The people there were warm and welcoming, menu interesting and focused on what they do well, and the food was mind blowing! Get the Il Tramonto and the La Marea sandwiches.

Fun little restaurant on a busy street, great with friends. I personally loved sitting there on my own and watch the city being alive on a Friday night. I’ve tried the nachos with polpo and I found it was a fun declination of the traditional panino from Bari. It did not wow me but the polpo was very tender and the nachos were an artisanal made corn tortillas, so probably it’s just that cime di Rapa is not my thing….The protagonist of the dinner was the tris of tartare. I usually like my tartare a little bit colder in temperature but the pairings (especially the tuna with stracciatella) were very tasty. Cheesecake not great…

Very nice place for a great lunch. The owners are amazing people. Friendly and cheerful. The food is beautiful and good.

I had an amazing dinner at Al Coltello in Bari! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself has great decor with a warm, stylish atmosphere that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. The service was excellent from start to finish: attentive, friendly, and professional without ever feeling rushed. It’s clear that the staff truly care about their guests. Overall, Al Coltello is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for high-quality cuisine in a beautiful setting. I would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bari! 🍽️✨
