Osteria Vini e Cucina

The foods were delicious, we had one grilled octopus and one Orecchiette with cherry tomatoes. The octopus was fresh and yum with just simple seasoning. And the Orecchiette was cooked in perfect, I like the texture and pure flavor from the ingredients itself. Nice Osteria with good wine and reasonable prices, good place to visit.

Very nice place. Good octopus and sea food. Always very nice food and prices. White wine is also good. Edit: Incorrect times. Restaurant opens at 19:30 so we had to wait outside.

A pleasant and enjoyable experience overall. This is a classic, no-frills osteria — nothing particularly unusual or inventive, but everything was well-prepared and tasty. We had a mixed fried seafood platter and some wine. The food was fresh and flavorful, though the portions were slightly smaller compared to other places we've been to. A good, solid choice if you're looking for a traditional osteria meal in a relaxed setting.

Calamari were excellent, but bruschetta was very bad, bread quite old with something bitter, lacked taste. The plate of formaggio and salumi was very poor. Was ok but didnt meet our expectations. Restaurant is nice, luckily we got seated outside.

Octopus was burned, not good at all. Inside was gummy. However the seasoning was good. Also service. And the place was also nice.

We were lucky to be seated outside, the atmosphere was calm and cozy, the service was excellent. The prices were fair, maybe not so tipical menu for our expectations. Although, the food need a little more taste.

They open around 20h00. Food was really delicious, well portioned, and well priced. Drinks also well priced. One of our better meals in the area. Family run business. The mother is very friendly and organised. The waitress needs a bit more patience, can be much friendlier, and looks as if she enjoys her time. The male can speak English, no small talk - I don't think he wants to be there either. Recommend

Arrived hot and bothered to have lunch. The most unwelcoming welcome. We ordered drinks and on the basis of the miserable waitresses decided to pay for our drinks and eat elsewhere. We were charged 6 each for a cover charges I questioned this “I put the glass on the table for you”. Anyway avoid if you can as so many lovely, hospitable places to eat in Bari - this just isn’t one of them!

Antica Osteria Vini e Cucina Paglionico in Old Bari is an authentic Barese culinary experience. It is a no nonsense typical eatery in a typical structure of the region. Inside an arched sottano made of Pugliese stones and bricks, you will be served simple but delicious food made from what is fresh and available at the time. The food is brought to the table immediately after it is prepared, still sizzling and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere and service is unhurried, so make sure you have set aside enough time to enjoy from start to finish. The prices are quite reasonable. Go with an open mind and a sense of adventure and you'll be amply rewarded. I certainly was. The Paglionico family has owned the business forever and Nico is the current owner. Bravo!
