First time in Bari, Italy and I was looking for an upscale seafood restaurant. Thanks to Google Maps, i found Il Sale. From the entrance to the check out, this place and staff know how to treat you. Menu can be seen on a single piece of  paper but for sure you will enjoy what you get. Great and fast service, English spoken, staff and owner make you confortable, with fresh bread, and appetizers on their elegant and simple tables. Dishes are perfect size (I was starving) and well prepared. Single dessert (home made lemon sorbet with a full plate of fresh strawberry, dry ginger sweet, fresh almonds, milk and dark chocolate pieces) was OK. Lots of flavor and taste far this first meal in Bari.

One of the best experiences! Seafood is extremely fresh, seems that they took it directly from the sea right before serving it to you. Probably the best oysters that I have ever tried! Crude fish and seafood is served on the ice, carpaccio di scorfano was served with amazing yellow sauce of olive oil and lemon, a simple fish dorado has really impressed me with its taste and texture! Local sommelier served a wonderful white wine, enhancing the taste of the food.
And finally, when I thought that it wouldn't be better, they served a dessert! Home made chocolate - with salty peanuts and with chilli pepper; mind blowing ginger, and fresh fruits🥰 Bari worth visiting at least for this place!

Portion is small, service is on the slow side, the raw seafood platter is not very fresh as expected based on other reviews, the pasta was ok, but the main is quite bland, overall very disappointed as came to this place out of my way because of the other raving reviews. Also it's double the price as nearby restaurants and others in Bari. So unless you prefer long wait and high prices, do not waste your time or money here.

Very nice seafood restaurant. It is a litttle bit more expensive than other restaurants in the city, but it is definitely not overpriced. The food was excellent, also the service and atmosphere. It was not noisy inside, which I found rare in the city. They have a nice variety of fresh seafood. The price per meal is about 15 eur.
