AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the fried olives, calling them a perfect, briny bite. The overall vibe is of a cozy, unpretentious spot serving deeply satisfying, wood-fired comfort food.
“These fried olives were a typical starter from Bari, but they had a really bad taste — very bitter and very acidic. They weren't breaded or stuffed, just ordinary olives with the stone inside, fried. I tried a couple to see if it was just one bad one, but the bitterness was consistent. I think these olives, combined with the burrata cheese, caused my food poisoning — the acidity from the olives and the sensitive cheese if not properly refrigerated. I ended up vomiting until 5 in the morning.”

Pizza Settembre
This pizza has yellow daterino tomatoes, guanciale bacon, white cheese base, and caramelized onion sauce. It's the most similar to Roman thin crust pizza. The taste is very unusual — the onion caramel sauce is quite sweet, then the cherry tomato and other toppings are savory, with a very nice taste of guanciale. Everything was perfectly baked.
Pizza Burrata
This pizza honors the local tradition with burrata cheese from Andria. It has sundried cherry tomatoes, prosciutto crudo, and a white cheese base. The burrata is full of stracciatella inside — it really looks colorful and beautiful. I had to use a fork and knife because of the burrata. The prosciutto slices are very thin, almost see-through, with very juicy cherry tomatoes, and the star is the stracciatella burrata. I really, really like this pizza.
