Il Barino - CASTEL SAN GIOVANNI

We went with friends in this bar for a special evening with German beer and it was fun to see the personal themed dress, music on spot, food thought not to spoil the atmosphere and indeed to exalt it. Since I don't consume beer, I asked the bartender (Paolo) to make me an alcoholic and he asked me some precise questions to better treat my mocktail, which was really delicious! My friends enjoyed a couple of beers, joining the Challenge proposed by the bar and winning a Tyrolean hat.

Marketing The bar was born on the ashes of another ‘barino’ and maintained its structure and, in part, furnishings. In front of the counter, bottles of grappa of apparent value (they are very naif in fact of grappa and whiskey of pure malt more or less peat. Captivating... The single room includes many small tables for 4 or more and two tables with armchairs/tenth a little kitsch, but suitable for breaking monotony. The place, evidently, was also born as a pizzeria of which the oven is still visible (disused in the room that leads to the bathroom now used as a warehouse. Tables with ‘troni’ are not bookable. Or better... they are perpetually booked, but they are assigned to those who want the old woman who does as ‘mother’ (maitresse would be ambiguous and therefore wrong, even if it would better classify his style The local is located at the top of the main road of Castel San Giovanni, almost at the corner with the main square biweekly seat of the market: especially Sunday, accomplice a dehor, is meta almost ‘obgata’. Croissant and acceptable coffee, even if not worthy of a targeted visit. And, as it suits every medal, it has its reverse. The owner has the elegance and elegance of Vlad the Impaler and addresses customers with the tolerance of those who see violated their privacy as a pletore of people who, paying, would like to consume! Some people's claims are incredible! Some, even expect a kind exhibitors... When there is no one there is an elderly woman who could be a teacher of Applied Maled Education. The fact of having many customers for the position, does not imply that they are willing to tolerate such cafone behavior. But, frankly, it is not that the other bars in the area are managed more professionally. Owners are not as rude (educated, uneducated! , this is true, but the ability to manage a bar is at a very low level. They look like locals bought with the liquidation of a bureaucrat's job. What strikes is the attitude of fear that characterizes the waiters, so the behavior of bullies is not only addressed to customers... Considerations Since there is this management, things have gone worsening exponentially. It can, however, be a great idea to visit it for those who want to open a bar: it could assist de visu to everything that is not to be done to keep the customers. Project Avoid it! PS Too bad that TripAdvisor does not consider votes less than ‘Pessimo’...

Cute place with places also outdoors; for an aperitif with friends was not the top, spritz and prosecco good but as accompaniment only two olives. Assortment mangereccio very poor and poorly stocked. I'll try to avoid next time.

On Sunday there is the market for which there is probably more confusion than usual, I think for this for two coffee it took some time, the coffee is good. A bit of Ironia in the billboard on the bathroom door shows that causes someone's behavior the bathroom can only be used by women and children. Besides, there's no axis on the toilet. Sul. Wall in front of the toilet there are signs that report phrases of the same tone of that at the entrance of the bathroom. I assume that it is irony, if it were not necessary to explain to the ladies behind the counter that for the bar licenses the services must be available to all customers, this is the basis for the concession and maintenance of the licenses, besides for the new licenses it is mandatory the bathroom for disabled, Bari or probably has an old license.

Certainly very nice local, I tasted only wine so my opinion is limited to that and sincerely I drank better and at lower prices. ..(and I assure you not far from there)aperssolutamente normal aperssolution: chips (in bag)pizzette focaccia and some tartina ... it would take at least a little more sympathy and friendliness from the barista ..but it is evident that he does not love his work ..so he does it as he can
