Escopocodisera - BARLETTA

The restaurant has a pleasant underground room with some tables. Well furnished. The staff is very friendly and prepared. The quality of the kitchen is very high and the presentation of surprising dishes for the price contained. Surely a quality restaurant at more honest prices to visit and return to.

I tried two fish dishes, but tuna is unbeatable, I highly recommend it. Well also the wine the owner helped us choose. It is not very cheap, but considering the quality level, I would say with a good value for money.

Very light and fantastic pizza! The quality of the dough and seasoning is excellent! I find it exceptional to be able to choose different doughs from the usual ones such as wholemeal or gluten free for celiacs. Very kind and professional waitress! I recommend booking as it is very popular, even though they still found a place for us! I'll be back soon! I forgot: even the dessert was delicious!

I booked a vegan meal for two people the day before as recommended by the owner. We are brought mixed appetizers based on vegetables and legumes, simple but quite good. As a first course we couldn't choose two different dishes so we took a pumpkin risotto which unfortunately was terrible. Not cooked enough and where the flavor of the wine completely covered that of the pumpkin. Up to this point, however, I would not have decided to give a negative rating to this restaurant. The worst has come at the end. Taking into account that we were not able to choose a single dish, nor the quantities of what was brought to us, having not taken wine but two bottles of water, and underlining that obviously we did not eat fish but exclusively vegetables and legumes, the bill for two in a city like Barletta (which normally has lower prices than I'm used to in Rome) it was €55. Without having first agreed on a fixed menu, without then specifying how we were able to arrive at this figure. It was more of a package deal in the series: you're vegan, you're not from here, you're not coming back. Probably with a calculation that we made €20 was from the bottle of wine that they emptied into the risotto.... Normally I don't leave reviews if they are negative, but when I understand that someone is taking advantage of it I couldn't help but do so. In Rome, and in general wherever I eat, I have rarely reached that figure in a place where they serve neither organic food nor more dedicated vegan foods such as tofu or seitan and often not even in that case! I therefore advise against going to this place to take dishes not described in the menu which may have an unaffordable and unexpected price.

At the suggestion of a friend we went to the restaurant on 18.01.18 for lunch. Chef Lorenzo welcomed us to whom we presented our needs and desires. Immediately available, he prepared a good seafood appetizer for two and a generous grill for two. Even though the dishes were decorated, they appeared to be plentiful and of good quality. Advised
