This restaurant skillfully blends traditional flavors with fresh, genuine ingredients, creating dishes that appeal both to locals and visitors eager to explore regional specialties.

The menu is a celebration of Mediterranean classics, with standout dishes such as Orecchiette Ai Tre Pomodori and Orecchiette Alle Cime Di Rape that showcase the vibrant simplicity of pasta rooted in local tradition.

Good place for business lunch and tourist to taste typical recipes of Puglia made with genuine ingredients and well prepared, at the right price. The orecchiette with rape and anchovies deserved a special mention. The service was quick, which is important when you have just one hour. There is a good selection of beers and wines.

Fabulous meal. Food, service and attitude were nothing to ask for more. Plus, the whole restaurant is very well arranged and designed. The waiters are running all the time but doing it with style and attention. It was a recommendation to come dine in here and thanks God we considered it, as looking from outside I would have never guessed the ambiance and the whole feeling about it would be worth getting inside. Grazzie mille!

Visited Peppo in Bari — the food was great! The orecchiette with tomatoes was hands down the best I've ever had. The carbonara pasta was also delicious. The only downside was the atmosphere — the place felt a bit deserted, with only three tables occupied, which made it feel a little quiet for such a great spot. Still, the food definitely made up for it. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic pasta!

I was tempted to check this place out when I saw good reviews of this restaurant and its menu online. Unfortunately, it has not met my expectations. One reason was the food we ordered (beef tartar was way below our expectations + two pastas we had were extremely salty, sadly). When we flagged that pasta was salty and one of them was literally impossible to be eaten, the waiters said that this pasta is always salty because of the cheese they use in it. We insisted for him to try it as it was definitely not the cheese but pure salt added by a chef. The waiter said that we can change one pasta for a different one, and after 10 minutes we got really tasty dish (similar to ravioli, stuffed with ricotta cheese). But when it came to paying the bill, we were charged for all 3 pastas... This was just not nice... I mean, we did not eat that salty pasta at all as it was simply not possible and we get charged for it?! Really bad aftertaste:( I wouldn't go back there again but it is only my opinion. Overall score: 3 stars ⭐⭐⭐
