Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We went to this delightful place a couple of times, the food is so good! Such a gorgeous setting, and all the staff were so accommodating and super friendly! Definitely a restaurant you should pay a visit to!"
"We came here after walking around and couldn’t figure out where and what to eat for dinner, but we’re sooo glad we ended up sitting down here and ordering the best pasta we’ve had during our stay in bari. The atmosphere was amazing and the portions are good. Toni was our server, they spoke english and was really helpful. We 110% recommend this place if you’re around here, it’s definitely worth your money and you won’t be disappointed or hungry after eating here!"
"One of the best experiences. We chose this place randomly for dinner and it was a pleasant surprise. Since we entered the place the staff welcomed us warmly. Table setting, atmosphere and music matched the vibe. Toni the sommelier approached the table and recommended us the food cause we wanted to have some seafood for our dinner. Cod fish as a started with matched wine was a good start, then we asked for suggestions for main dish and Toni recommended us to try the octopus. Oh well, that was just devine. Primitivo rose with it worked just perfectly. Thank you for your time, wine knowledge and recommendations. That was unforgettable experience to us. Highly recommend"
"If you want to experience true gastronomic art, you must dine at Macari! Every single plate sings, it tells a story and it is taking you on a trip of taste and tradition! The staff is very friendly and knowledgable, kind and part of the amazing experience you have while dining at Macari. It is not just food, it is emotion. It worth coming in this part of the world only for a dinner by the sea, that will nurture your body and soul, equally. The prices are very affordable, as well."
"What a great place to visit. If you’re in the area, just getting off an airplane out of Bari stop in and have one of the best meals you’ve had in a while. The pasta is good. The meatballs, exceptional, and Service talk about friendly at home. Definitely going back every time we visit Bari and a view of the Sea."
"Excellent food. The seafood pasta was delicious—everything was fresh, and the quality of the pasta was top-notch. The ravioli were also very good. Perfectly composed, with delicate flavors that created a real poetry for the palate. The only minor complaint could be about the portion size: while the pasta was filling, five ravioli were definitely not enough—especially since even a slim girl couldn’t feel full from them. However, this doesn't lower the overall rating!"
"Excellent service and food. Well appreciated that you can have dinner at 6:30pm. Highly recommended. Even agreed to prepare a dish that is not on the menu. For the weekend getaway we’ve been here both evenings."
"We were in Bari on vacation and stayed in an Airbnb around the other side of the marina. A couple of nights ago, we found Macari and it looked really cute inside so we stopped for dinner. Toni was our server and she was amazing! She recommended pasta, dessert and wine for us and served us complimentary limoncello. I highly recommend Macari if you are visiting the area. I would give them 10 stars if I could."
