My wife and I had a great first impression at Bari thanks to the excellent service, beautiful interior decor, and pleasant interactions with the other diners there. We ordered the squash blossoms, focaccia, cacio e Pepe, and uni bottarga pasta. The citrus based cocktails are excellent and we enjoyed both pastas. The squash blossoms have an excellent light batter and were fried beautifully - excellent texture! The interior is quite aesthetic which really added to the experience.

I would not come back. Food was beyond mediocre. I’m very annoyed how much I spent and how below average the food was. There are much better places in the area. The only positive was the cute decor and atmosphere. Don’t waste your money

I was so excited to try Bari but unfortunately it was one of the worst meals I have had in years. The restaurant is beautiful but the food was terrible. I am shocked by how many great reviews there are. I did not have one dish that I enjoyed and was extremely disappointed.

Dinner (the prix fixe DineLA menu w/wine accompaniment) was outstanding; the waiter (who we learned was relatively new to the restaurant), was wonderful-helpful-funny-respectful and oh yeah--the food was delicious! It was a great evening--thank you.

Celebrated a friends birthday and Bari exceeded our expectations. We all agreed it was some of the best food we've had in LA. We tried most of the menu and it was hard to pick a favorite dish. The house made foccacia is delicious. Highly recommend the squash blossoms, bucatini, and the bistecca. The service was excellent. Our server guided us to a delicious bottle of wine that paired wonderfully with the dishes that we ordered. The ambience and the music is also a vibe. Bari is a gorgeous hidden gem that ticks all of the dining experience boxes. We will be back!

Came with a friend for DineLa. The whipped ricotta was great, but the vodka pasta was extremely disappointing as was the shrimp entree. The tiramisu was bitter and the coffee liqueur was too strong. We were pretty disappointed by the quality of the food for the price.

I make a reservation based on few dishes in the menu I read on openable, like panserotti and bombette and we're not on the real menu. One of the server told me that the menu on this app is old We ordered cicoria salad and we got Radicchio instead. We ordered the amatriciana and the pasta was overlooked no guanciale in the sauce. Also, most of the dishes on the menu are not from Bari I was looking forward to trying this restaurant Just disappointed

The place is cozy and designed nicely, but it’s very noisy due to the loud music and everyone yelling. The food is genuinely not worth the price. They put martinis in wine glasses… Why? Second timer and got slow service on both occasions.

Went to Bari 2 days in a row because we had such a great time sitting at the bar and enjoyed their food on the first outing. However the 2nd visit was a total disappointment largely due to the quality of the food served. We ordered one entre and 3 pastas but they were overly oiled and SALTY. Just couldn’t believe the food were from the same restaurant as the previous day. Think they must had a different chef on Sunday.

The place is beautiful, the service impeccable and the food was amazing, yes, but it's not the real traditional food from Bari. I'm from there! It's good food but americanized. A little too pricy.

Top notch. Wonderful dining experience, food was delicious, and best of all was our server Ilaria - a true Italian who knew everything about the menu and guided us through an authentic experience. She made sure we didn’t order the wrong things and kept a sharp eye on us the whole time. It wouldn’t have been the same without her. I’m still glowing from the incredible experience. Definitely coming back and definitely sitting at her table. Can’t recommend highly enough!!
