Menu
Every course, a story to savor
From the most authentic Apulian cuisine to the chef's most original creations, the Restaurant and Events R45 Bari menu tells Bari through selected ingredients, distinctive recipes and an attention to detail that can be perceived in every bite. A gastronomic proposal designed to satisfy every taste, between land and sea, tradition and imagination.
Appetizers
The appetizers at Restaurant and Events R45 Bari open the meal with character and technical precision. The Bari style stuffed mussels bring back to the table the flavor of a handed down recipe, while the octopus tentacles with potato cream and basil offer a contemporary interpretation of the Apulian sea tradition. Each course is studied both in its presentation and in its substance.
The proposal is enriched with burratine with red shrimp from Gallipoli and pistachio powder, where the excellent products of Southern Italy communicate in perfect balance, and with our tartar specialties — tuna tartar, salmon, bass and more — processed with very fresh raw materials and served with the same care they deserve: a combination of freshness and technique that anticipates the philosophy of the entire cuisine of Restaurant and Events R45 Bari.
Crudi di mare
The selection of raw seafood is the starting point for those who want to discover fresh fish in its purest form.
Raw fish noodles, oysters, prawns and red prawns arrive on the table daily, chosen according to availability and season, with the guarantee of a controlled supply chain and a freshness that does not allow compromises.
In Bari, where the relationship with the Adriatic Sea is an integral part of gastronomic culture, Restaurant and Events R45 Bari interprets raw food with respect and cleanliness: no superstructure, only the quality of the product and the wisdom in offering it, enhancing scents and flavors that tell the story of the territory at every taste.
First and second
Among the first courses, the Bari tradition meets the chef's creativity: the paccheri with redfish and the famous occhiette with Bari ragù with brasciole coexist with the tagliolini with cardoncelli mushrooms and guanciale and the tagliolini with mussels and clams, four courses that tell the story of the territory with different languages but with the same intensity of flavor.
Among the main courses, the sea continues to be the protagonist: grilled octopus, fried squid and shrimp, lobster with R45 cream and the catch of the day represent the best of what the Adriatic Sea has to offer. Every day, the proposal is updated based on market availability, to always guarantee fresh and top quality fish in the historic center of Bari.
Dessert
The desserts at Restaurant and Event R45 Bari close the meal with the same attention given to every other course. Berry cheesecake and classic tiramisu reinterpret the great classics with selected raw materials, while coastal lemon tiramisu brings to the table an unexpected scent that recalls the best of southern Italian pastry.
For those looking for something more daring, the dark chocolate mi-cuit is the ideal conclusion: a dessert with a soft heart and a strong character, which reflects the same creative philosophy that runs through the entire gastronomic offer of the restaurant in the historic center of Bari.
Wine list
The Restaurant and Events R45 Bari wine list is designed to accompany every moment of dinner with the same care dedicated to the dishes. The selection favors the Apulian labels of selected producers — from Primitivo di Manduria to Negroamaro, to fresh and mineral whites from Murgia. To make the choice even more precise, each table is equipped with a tablet with a digital sommelier: a system that suggests in real time the ideal wine in combination with each course, for a truly complete experience in Old Bari.
Alongside regional proposals, the menu includes a selection of national and international wines to meet different tastes and needs. The dining room staff is available to suggest the most suitable combination for every course, making the experience in Old Bari even more complete.
