Mavi Cafe-Bistrot

Food was amazing best place we eat in Bari, staff are lovely and really helpful highly recommend. Found this place due to other recommendations well worth a visit for food!

Mavi Bistrot was a delight. The food was delicious, and we had a wide variety from Tuna, Meatballs and Pasta. The ambience was enjoyable. The staff were very attentive, friendly and efficient. We had a very enjoyable visit.

Food was really good and the staff was nice;) we got our food a bit out of order, but it wasn't a big problem. We had tuna steak(very tender), spaghett carbonara, bruschetta with salmon and meatballs caccio e peppe (delicious!).

Both the ambiance, the food, and the service were excellent. The portions were reasonable, the wine was very tasty. We had a very nice evening with friends.

A perfectly decent restaurant conveniently located near Bari Centrale (the main train station). I'm amazed that other reviews say nothing about the strong American influence here: all evening, songs by Bruce Springsteen, the Eagles and similar artists are playing, the beer list features American brews, and the menu mixes local staples with lots of burgers. In fact the whole vibe is kind of "hip bar," with an acoustic guitar suspended from a column and various pop culture images scattered throughout. Nothing wrong with any of this, but several reviews make the restaurant sound like a classic Italian mom-and-pop place, which it isn't at all. Very friendly staff. The interior is appealing (as described above) but the street outside is frankly dreary and scruffy - hard to avoid when near a train station. Still, a reasonable choice if you need to dine in that area.
