We were recommended this restaurant today and were happily surprised! The killer pasta was absolutely delicious, and the melanzane alla parmigiana was fantastic. The wine was an excellent choice, perfectly complementing our meal. Michelle and Lucrezia were fantastic friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better.

We were looking for Italian pasta experience and as other popular places were very full we decided to try Matiti Pasta Bistrot. The indoor and outdoor seating were great, service really nice and food was delicious. Especially the aubergine starter was amazing! I would recommend it and if I am in Bari this would be my first choice of food.

Michelle was great, making us feel welcome straight away. We had a spritz, then the delicious Spaghetti all'assassina as recommended by a guide on a food tour we'd been on earlier in the evening. Great location overlooking one of the squares, definitely sit outside in the evening to watch the world go by
