Friggo Mangi - MOLA DI BARI

We decided to stop in this place to give it a chance , but the overall experience has been poor. But let’s go step by step: location 3 star, it is close to sea and in summer is nice to seat outside with a bit of breeze; service 2, plenary of young guys running around trying to be helpful, but they got a bit confused … food, we ordered the following : 1. Raw squids, 3 fresh and tasty but extremely pricy 2. Pepata di cozze, 1 the mussels were very nice but their shells were not cleaned , terrible 3. gilt head bream 2.5 , nicely cooked , could have been fresher , but extremely pricy 4. Frittura 0, this should be their signature dish , but squids and shrimp are frozen , so not freshly fished and they taste of absolutely nothing , moreover the batter is bad very greasy and again tasteless Price 0, extremely picky for what has been offered and the restaurant itself So bottom line try some other place first there are plenty in the area .

We stumbled for a dinner it turned out that the food was good. We had pizza sea food pasta. Also domestic vine was good. Service was survivable. Then we decided to return few days late. And it was a disaster. Waited for over an hour to be served. Even pizza took over an hour. Staff was running around like crazy mixing orders. Charged extra for pasta along the fish. At the end manager said that if we don't like it, we don't have to return. And we won't.

The kitchen was about to close when we showed up for a late lunch. The idea is that you select your seafood at the adjoining fish shop and then the kitchen prepares it any way you like. So they brought us in to the already closed fish shop and we were able to make a slection of various seafood for the frito misto and a bit of salmon to be grilled. The food is brought to the table on a plastic serving dish but it is absolutley delicious. Fresh ingredients, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. A nice white wine to accompany it and all is perfect. And it's cheap!

On the occasion of 25 April we opted for this restaurant, we know in days as this is expected a little but I didn't think so much disorganization. I order from the table the fish and the first, we sit at the table at 14 to start having some appetizers at 15.30 no bread because it was finished, we order half liter of wine but there comes half because it was finished. . a real shame because the first and fried were of excellent quality, but in the days so it serves more organization and more waiters.

Local winter spreading while in summer outdoors, great fish excellent tuna in the special oven the rest all fresh good the wine of the house discosiglio the right price bottled if you go from 4 more people, a little expensive if you go in two, I go a dozen times a year. advisory nn raise prices for too much competition on bari pile
