Tonightwe are having dinner at Buenalleggre a restaurant located in the city center of Bari.
The weather was nice so people wanted to sit outside rather than inside the restaurant.
We did not have a reservation but we came and the right time and got a table right away.

Hoa and Catherine.
Octopus Salad
 |
 |
We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share. I love octopus and it was well prepared.
|
|
|
Mexican Meatballs. I try to order a meat dish for Hoa as he loves meat and we were surprised at how good they tasted.
Peppered steamed mussels, also very good.
Spaghetti all'assassina meaning assassin's spaghetti is a burned spaghetti and traditional recipe from Bari.
 |
 |
It is basically raw spaghetti cooked in a tomato passata (puree) broth using a method known as risottata (Risotto style). The result is a slightly burnt, crispy, caramelized spaghetti with an intense spicy tomato flavor. We all love this dish. You have to try it if you are in Bari.
On the right is a spaghetti with prawns and pistachio cream

Also a good dish but very rich so you can only eat a little bit. Good thing we shared the food.
Grilled rib eye steak
Pizza with cheese and mushrooms
Our table with all the food. Overall we had a very good meal here.
As we are ready to leave we got in the restaurant as there isn't a single person sitting inside. Everyone is opting for a table outside.
