Il Timone - BARI

Fresh fish, excellent value for money. Friendly and attentive staff to every need of the customer. CONSIGATIONS

The place really beautiful, the sea view is lovely. Good food, but poor portions, the newest account was, exaggerated in proportion to the ordered one.

Our server was excellent which is the only reason I’m giving this two stars in addition to a beautiful location looking over the sea. However, the tuna crudo was spoiled. It smelled rancid but I tasted it anyway and yes…it was spoiled fish. We are a very small bite and they tried to bill us for it anyway. They tried to hide the fact that the tuna is spoiled by adding a lot of course salt and a lot of lemon to try to hide the smell..didn’t work lol… I first ordered a tuna pasta dish but changed it after I realized the tuna was rancid. The dish I ordered was a red pasta with prawns. It was super salty. Had two bites and couldn’t eat it. I was charged for it. My wife and daughter ordered paccheri pasta. Was way under cooked pasta…not al Dante…under cooked. Sent it back to cook more and came back the same: We are Italian and my wife lived in Mola for 13 years so it wasn’t because we are American and don’t know Italian pasta.

We thought we were too late for lunch but had a great meal. Tasty pasta and seafood. No fuss and good service. Recommended.

Visited as a couple at the beginning of August 2015. Great reception, we felt welcome immediately, the cold beers were served swiftly and placed in ice buckets. We asked mixed fried seafood, one serving for two, which was no problem. This dish was great and served in three different baskets, and it was a lot as well! Then we both had a pasta with seafood, both were amazing as well. Prices are very reasonable for the quantity and quality! Recommended.
