Fermento - BARI

Wow ! What started as a little weird experiment (8pm, empty restaurant) ended up being our favorite meal in Bari. We couldn't decipher the menu as it was in Italian, we looked forever, then our waiter asked us if he could help. We agreed, and just let him bring out food. It was amazing ! The salmon, the octopus, the string burrata, the bread, clams, prawn, local wine, beer, cheese, amazing. We were in the front part of the restaurant, and around 9 many locals started showing up. The mood lightened, but we were having the time of our lives just trusting the waiter. The restaurant was well lit and a bit sterile, but oh my. The food and the service amazing, and the price unbeatable! The best value ever. We can't wait to get back to Bari to see what treasures they serve us next time. Well done !

Three of us girls found this place and overall it was wonderful. We sat down at around 1pm and was greeted promptly by our waiter. We requested that he picked a local white wine for us. It was really nice and dry. Went well with our pasta (pizza wasn't available at that time). We each got separate dishes. Spaghetti with becon (prosciutto), lobster and noodles and tomato cream sauce. All three were delicious and prices were really reasonable. 7€ for a bottle of wine and about 9€ per dish. He also gave us green olives and we tried a pizza type bread. All very yummy. If going again I would try 2 or 3 appetizers and split a meal with a friend. All in all in was a great meal happy we stumbled in!

Everything is awesome: waiters speak English, food is tasty, prices are lower than in the other restaurants.

Woah, That was awesome Pasta ! Has everything it needs to get my 5 star rating..... 1) Great food. 2) Excellent Service (my waiter even spoke English) 3) Very reasonable prices. 4) Don't fill up on the bread, yeah, it's that good !

Once discovered, this became our go-to place for dinner when my dad had visited me in Bari. We went there several times in one week, because not only is the food great and prices reasonable, but the owners are wonderful people. Paolo can be seen running around constantly, taking orders and helping out, while his wife runs the cash, and the other personnel are sweet too. For 8 euro, the mixed antipasti is more than sufficient as a meal, and could even feed two people..it changes daily but you may get a mix of cheeses like stracciatella, ricotta, mozzarella; fish like octopus salad or marinated sardines; veggies like grilled zucchine and eggplant or cime di rape; foccacia, bread, salumi, polpette and more! One night we were four people and split two orders of the antipasti, two pizze, water, and bottle of wine and paid just over 40 euro in total! Amazing all around and can't wait to go back :
