APULIA Barbican: Reviews & Ratings
This is a great Latin fusion place that has amazing Argentine empanadas and a unique tres leches desert that are both highly recommended. The smaller place is lively and well hosted by the chef and his wife. My only knock is on the dinning room that is a little too bright and a bar that is impossible to sit at. Overall a nice find in the heart of London.
We had an amazing time here. It was a super busy Friday night so service was a little slow but other than that and the fact they ran out of beer everything was amazing. There were 8 of us. Some had starters, all had mains and many many drinks and with the service charge the bill only came to 320 which i thought was super reasonable. Didn't take many pictures. Mostly people has pizza and they all looked delicious. I had the burata as a main and it was so so nice.
Authentic Italian cuisine in the city. Waiters were attentive and service was quick! Great place to share a pizza when exploring the City of London area. We shared the Polignano pizza but the pasta did look fantastic. I’ll try that next time I visit.
We have been to Apulia before and we went again this evening. It is consistently good it seems. Food was quick to arrive. Delicious and plenty of it. Great truffle pizza. Orecchiette con cime di rapa was incredible again and the fennel salad refreshing. A feast! When visiting my brother in London we will always come to that restaurant now for good food. Lovely people too. Thank you guys! From the jet lagged couple who cleaned their plates
The pasta was incredibly good and bursting with flavor, the wine was delicious, and the tiramisu was the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommended for anyone craving a true taste of Italy!
While in London for a reunion, I had dinner for 1, on my own. Food and service, so professional and knowledgeable. Perfect. So when my friends wanted a farewell lunch with 24 hrs notice on a Sunday, I tried this place. Well, it couldn't have been better. The waitress was brilliant. We could get in no problem, clear communication, confirmed booking, discussed seating time, setting and numbers so helpful, and knew how to take a large group photo! Orders were correct delicious, all drinks, wine, not one complaint! If you have a large group last minute, this is the place is for you. Great food, great service
Absolutely wonderful, authentic little Italian restaurant. Food was fabulous, service was fantastic. Not touristy. Reminds me of my Apulian family’s food from Italy. Too hungry to post photos of the mains. But the dessert was great.
Authentic Italian cuisine near the meat market. Wonderful place to stop for lunch while site seeing in the neighborhood. Easy to share, generous portions, tasty food and reasonable prices. It can get busy so a reservation is helpful but they will try and squeeze you in.
