"We came to Bari with high expectations, based on previous reviews we’d read. Our experience was just average. Most likely it was due to a mismatch in our tastes versus those of their executive chef. Let’s start with the grilled sourdough and ricotta cheese appetizer. The bread was tough, extremely chewy, and even difficult to cut with a knife. The ricotta topping covered each piece entirely (would have been better in a ramekin for the diner to spread as desired). The ricotta was sweet, not savory, something we don’t like before dinner. Save the sweet for dessert. Let’s move on to the wedge salad. Overpowered with a sweet (again) tomato jam and under done on the Maytag blue cheese and pancetta. My wife ordered the Barramundi with crispy Brussels sprouts, Arborio rice, and a tapenade. Good, but the fish may have been slightly overcooked. We’re not sure, and didn’t say anything to the server, because we’ve never tried Barramundi before. Overall she enjoyed the dish. I ordered the Agnolotti and added Italian sausage. It was just an average pasta dish for me. Nothing remarkable. Parking was easy, decor is modern, clean, but a bit too we’ll lit. We would recommend a dimmer lighting at night. The restaurant was not busy at 7:00 pm on a Wednesday night, about 25% full. Management checked our table several times and she and our server were attentive."
