Baresana - Bari

The vegan options are limited and not marked on the menu, but the spaghetti all'assassina (a local speciality) is vegan by default and very tasty, and there are a couple of other vegan options (spaghetti with garlic, oil, pepper, pizza marinara) and they were happy to make an off menu vegan pizza and salad for us too. As well as the food being tasty and generous, the staff stands out for being especially friendly (in a place where good, friendly service is the norm) and the setting outside on the terrace of a not busy street is lovely. People queue on the street to get a table here, and yet there's no pressure to eat quickly and free up your table. It seems like many people don't stay for long anyway, and so the wait for a table might never be very long.

The bruschetta, spaghetti aglio e olio and house red was a delicious dinner. I couldn’t finish the pasta, as the portion size was too big, but I asked for a doggy bag and enjoyed the leftovers for lunch the next day. The outside seating area is very cosy and romantic.

Pretty good local restaurant with a few vegan options. Menu is clearly labeled so you can order with ease. The spaghetti all'assassina was delicious and generously portioned. Being one of Bari's traditional dishes, it's definitely worth trying. This place does fill up quick, so I'd recommend getting here before 8 for dinner. Updated from previous review on 2023-05-06

We had the all’assassina, which is a speciality from Bari that the waitress confirmed was vegan. It was very good and it was great to be able to try a speciality from the area as often specialities have meat. We also had the marinara pizza which was good Updated from previous review on 2022-10-01

We had dinner at this restaurant and it was amazing, there was a big waiting line so we had the chance to talk with some local people who told us that it was a really good place and good price! It was indeed, our waitress was vegan so she helped us with our choices and everything was delicious!
