"We arrived at Cortigiano at about 7.30pm and the restaurant was not open yet (opens at 8pm). So we drank an aperitif in the bar, which is also a shop where you can buy typical Italian pastries. Our waiter and the other staff were extremely helpful and friendly. At 8pm the restaurant was filled immediately with (local) people. We were offered the menu with choices for antipasti, premier course, second course and main course. Prices were average to high for Bari area. The waiter mentioned that we could choose our own fish or meat. We are no big eaters and we did not want to spend hundreds of euros so I told him we would choose an appetizer and course. As we were eating our antipasti (a sashimi plate) we saw a lot of pizzas being served. But there were no pizzas in our menu?! So I asked the waiter and then he handed me another menu, with pizzas. The pizzas looked delicious and cost around 7 euros, good value for money, so I ordered a pizza (my boyfriend the tagliata from main courses). When we looked around, we noticed that all local people were handed over two menu cards: the one we received and the pizza menu. I don 't like being treated like this as a tourist , only wanting to sell the most expensive menu to us so it bothered me being treated differently. When we received our bill, we noticed that the sashimi dish for one person we ordered for the two of us, was priced 20€ instead of the 12€ mentioned on the menu. We didn 't make a fuzz of it and assumed it was because we shared (however when we ordered we made it clear that we wanted one dish for the two of us) and paid. There are defenitely other places in Bari where they treat tourists and locals equally!"
