The server we had a lot of attitude. If I hadn’t been there with my friend for her birthday, I would have gotten up and left because I do not know why we had to deal with th undercover tones of rudeness. I’ve gotten better service at Wendy’s. The server completely ruined the experience. Edit: to answer the owner’s response, I don’t know the server’s name but he seemed to be either be having a bad day/night and we had to turn on so much charm and sweetness to get him to drop the attitude with us. I’ll give you an example of the attitude we got…I don’t care for the taste of olive oil with my dinner bread so I asked for some butter. The response I got, “We don’t do that here.” I spent close to $600 dollars for my party for my friend’s birthday so I don’t need the attitude and condescension. He could have responded with something along the lines of “the chef wants our guests to have the authentic Italian experience and so we don’t serve butter with our dinner bread.” Though personally, I know many Italians who also prefer butter with their bread. That was one of the many examples of the crappy service we got before he dropped the attitude. I came in my party of December 17th for a 7pm reservation and I will not be going back. I refuse to spend that kind of money and then have crappy service from the waiter. No amount of “addressing it with your staff” is going to change the fact that at the price point you guys have that service should not be stellar and condescending attitude from the service staff is unacceptable.

A very enjoyable experience on a wet day. Their menu isn't very big, but they have a HUGE selection of cheeses as well as a number of cured meats to make your own charcuterie board. Make sure to take advantage of the specials, the salad of the day was unique and very tasty. Also, it was great that the portions weren't huge. I highly recommend the bruschetta and carbonara.

10/02- My friends from out of town were super impressed! Hunter and Page provide wonderful suggestions and make the experience. Thank you for always delivering 🙏 09/14- Absolutely wonderful! The cheeses, meats, wines, calamari, and bruschetta can’t be beat. You won’t find another restaurant like this in Memphis! And phenomenal staff! Old review: I brought some out of town friends here who were visiting for a conference. I had never been here, which would normally be a bad idea. I have found a new favorite restaurant in Memphis. I think we all loved the mussels and the cheeses, but I also loved the fava beans and the scallops were amazing! Everyone left happy. I will be back!

Bari is the kind of place that suits any occasion. It has a laid-back atmosphere yet exudes elegance. Every moment spent there was pure bliss. We decided to try the shishito peppers and red bell pepper soup, which were the specials for the night, and they were absolutely delightful. The mussels we ordered were incredibly generous in portion size and, needless to say, absolutely divine. As for our main courses, we couldn't resist trying the short rib penne and the crab orzo pasta, and boy, were we blown away! The dessert selection was a challenge because everything on the menu sounded heavenly. Eventually, we settled for two desserts, and they did not disappoint. Oh, and let's not forget about the frozen G&T! It was the perfect cocktail to enjoy on a summer evening. Bari is simply mind-blowing!

Bari restaurant is fantastic!! Joy was our waitress- so friendly and helpful and fun! Hunter’s Honey cocktail- amazing, followed by Zucchini Fritters and Latuga salad- exquisite. The homemade bread with dipping is delicious also. My husband had seared Tuna that he loved. My pasta with crab was good, but I will opt for something else next time. Our desserts, vanilla cake with raspberry and pistachio was just amazing. My husband liked his chocolate pudding- I didn’t taste it. Such an amazing experience. The best Italian we have had in Memphis. Go try it out!!!
