I would have bought everything!!! They have so many gluten-free sweets and bakery products. I tried a brownie cheesecake and a cupcake. PARADISE
5
Great sweet and savory dishes, approved by my non-celiac Apulian boyfriend, located in the center of Bari with nice and welcoming seating in the square, highly recommended for both dine-in and takeout.
5
I only tried the desserts and found them delicious. I'm sorry to have discovered this place only on the last day of vacation! Typical Apulian sweets are excellent and there's assurance of no contamination.
5
Fantastic bar, both for grabbing something on the go and for dining in. Everything is gluten-free😍 and I love the panzerotti they make!!! The staff is also friendly, and you can even get cakes made for birthdays ☺️.
5
I visited this place 4/5 days in while in Bari and every single thing I ordered was outstanding! I was spoilt for choice and got to try so many different foods I’ve never had before! It is a must visit for any coeliac/gluten free person. Amazing! 😍
5
Lovely gluten-free pastries and a variety of breakfast and lunch dishes — all completely gluten-free! Gluten-free food is usually dry, but not at this café! The croissant was perfectly soft and crispy. Highly recommended for anyone who doesn’t eat gluten!
5
a paradise, I ate everything and everything was delicious. special mention for the barese focaccia, great even unheated, and for the nun's breast.
4
Absolutely thrilled that this place exists. It’s great that my friend was able to eat without worry and I (not gluten intolerant) was glad to eat there too. I didn’t find my food particularly good but my friend enjoyed the pastry.
5
Delicious food, great variety of local and non-local products... being completely gluten-free, the risk of contamination is zero.
5
They have a big selection of gluten free products, so if you have such intolerances or even celiac disease, this is the place to go to! Even for somebody who doesn't have such problems, the products are really good and enjoyable, especially the sweets
5
We were really satisfied! We ate freshly made panzerotti with meat and delicious gluten-free arancini. The selection is wide, both in sweet and savory options, with fresh and tasty products. The prices are fair and the atmosphere is welcoming. A highly recommended stop for those looking for gluten-free quality in Bari!

The products are very good. Pastry and rotisserie are at very high levels. It is pleasant to enjoy a walk along the course while having breakfast or an aperitif. You can also do some shopping. They work very hard, but the sloppiness and disorder inside and outside the venue cannot be justified. The service is a bit rough around the edges.
5
Stratospheric. The Barese focaccia is unmatched. Panzerotti of various types, all exceptional. Delicious cakes, fantastic breakfast pastries. Possibility of various craft beers. Young and extremely helpful staff. Everything is gluten free and only gluten free.
5
Totally gluten-free. Fabulous cream croissant, the best I've tasted so far gluten-free. Honest prices and not too high, especially considering the central location. Perfect place for snacks, lunch, and dinner. Friendly and helpful staff.
4
Barese focaccia, panzerotti, pastries, and much more, all gluten-free for takeout or on-site consumption, of excellent quality. Given the influx, they should increase the number of tables for on-site consumption.

Gluten free, lactose free paradise I went to Colibrio Pasticceria Bistrot and was surprised by how many gluten free delights they have, whether you want to sit, sip, and stay… or take anything home. My picks? A almond milk cappuccino, I would prefer it stronger. Arancini was delicious, and a millefoglie so crisp and flavorful it should come with a warning label: “May cause instant joy.” And that red velvet cake… soft, creamy, dreamy. I seriously wish I could eat more! Everything was so delicious, I couldn’t believe everything was gluten free. 100% worth the visit if you love good food, and that “wow” feeling after every bite
3
A small place that offers good food and attentive staff, they also have many lactose-free options. Unfortunately, the table service was lacking; there were two of us and they only provided a couple of dirty utensils to share. When I asked for clean utensils, only the dirty one was washed. On the bill, we were charged the full price for a product we ordered only half of... I hoped for better, unfortunately.
5
fantastic!! A ton of gluten-free baked goods but not only... also some cooked dishes! Highly recommended! Moreover, everything is gluten-free, so zero contamination risk!
4
The place is super well-stocked, they have pasta, flours, various snacks, and, most importantly, the pastry and rotisserie counter, all gluten-free. We tried typical items like panzerotti, pasticciotti, and focaccia. The pasticciotto was good, but the focaccia... INCREDIBLE. Good, on par with any regular barese focaccia from a bakery. I was really happy to be able to let my girlfriend taste a proper focaccia. The only downside, unfortunately, was the panzerotto; it was good but not artisanal, though I understand that frying can complicate things. Overall, everything was good; we will keep this place as a reference point from now on. P.S. The staff was friendly, fast, and polite.
5
a true paradise! It offers only gluten-free options, so the safety is maximum, and everything is delicious, from Bari street food to sweet delights, they are also very accommodating regarding other intolerances.
5
spatial, lots of choice, excellent taste, fair prices! perfect for stocking up for vacation! everything is fresh and very good
4
We visited this place to try the typical local gluten-free products, and we found both savory and sweet options, all gluten-free. We tasted panzerotti, focaccia barese, brioche, and other desserts, everything was definitely great, though perhaps the savory items had a bit more flavor. For someone with celiac disease, it’s definitely a paradise to find a place like this, which also sells packaged gluten-free products in case they are needed. The staff seemed a bit disinterested in selling and presenting the products, and it’s a shame because a person with celiac disease facing all these products could easily and good-naturedly be 'tempted'.
5
paradise for celiacs… everything seems to have gluten but it doesn’t!! I would recommend everything but especially their barese focaccia
1
Unfortunately, I was not satisfied. The cream in the croissant was too thick and heavy, and the cappuccino was really too light. Furthermore, the lady who brought the orders did not pay attention to distinguishing between the decaffeinated cappuccino and the regular one: she simply left them on the table and walked away without saying anything.
4
Fantastic place for those with gluten problems. Both the savory and sweet options are delicious, at an affordable price. Kind and helpful staff. Location close to the center of Bari. We will definitely return.
5
the PARADISE for celiacs! try everything you want because elsewhere you won’t have such a choice!! everything is excellent, especially the focaccia and panzerotti!

The bald man with the beard at the cash register charged for the service when he only served one person, the only celiac in our group, and when we complained, he behaved rudely, grumpily, and was even willing to argue by insulting us in the Bari dialect. We were willing to pay for the cover charge for the only person who sat down to eat. Paying for a non-service makes no sense. He described himself as a restaurant, but it is just a simple bar with some references to a café. A disappointment due to behavior that I find indefensible. Not being able to respond directly to yours, I follow up here with my comment. Calling him bald is not body shaming but rather describing the gentleman's hair condition who insulted us in Bari. On two separate occasions, he pointed for us to sit outside without providing service or cost information (so much so that the only person who consumed took the food outside by herself). Trying to cheat people and tourists is a typical example of how not to manage a business. The gentleman without hair (perhaps this is better) compared himself to a restaurant where it is mandatory to pay for service costs. First, talk among yourselves, maybe you can come out better.
5
great variety of choices between sweet and savory, ideal for takeout food, my daughter opted for Panzerotto which she enjoyed very much
5
So many choices from sweet to savory. Everything is delicious. I hope to go back soon.
5
The best gluten-free bread I have ever tasted! A must-stop during a trip to Puglia, we specifically stopped in Bari to go to Colibrio and to make my daughter happy. Puglia is a paradise for celiacs.
1
We went out for an aperitif last night. The staff was polite but the service left a lot to be desired. We waited about half an hour to get two miserable platters with a couple of stale focaccias (one was so hard I couldn't even take a bite), a small bruschetta, and very little else. Given the waiting times, we drank 2 flutes of prosecco each. Total cost 26 euros!!! Incredible! I would say you can find much better with little effort. Just one star given.
5
Extensive menu, from sweet to savory, all gluten-free and really delicious! Honest prices and courteous staff. I will definitely return.
5
I made a stop there this summer during a short visit to the city of Bari, and I was really happy! Almost the entire menu can be made lactose-free. I had a very good hamburger and took away some typical pastries from Bari 😋. Friendly staff!
5
very kind staff, focaccia like the one I used to eat when I didn’t know I was celiac! nun’s breasts very good!
5
Very good sandwiches, and the pastry products are also excellent.

Courtesy is not at home.
5
wonderful place for gluten-free and also lactose-free options, from breakfast to aperitif!
5
I passed through Bari and hoped to eat something typical in a gluten-free version. Focaccia and pastry got a perfect score of 10, savory pies scored a 6. I definitely recommend it!
5
A wonderful place to taste gluten-free products from sweet to savory, have an aperitif or even enjoy your grocery shopping!
5
everything is very good! congratulations😊
5
fantastic food, very kind staff!
5
Everything is superb: the end of the world and all gluten-free
5
Really very good
5
I haven't eaten such a good croissant since I discovered I was celiac. I haven't tasted anything else, but it will undoubtedly all be delicious. A vast selection of both sweet and savory options.
5
Everything is great.
5
The gluten-free paradise, everything we have always dreamed of can be found here: pancakes, sweet waffles of all kinds, and also savory dishes, focaccia, arancini, and much more. If you pass by here, you must stop; I assure you, you won't regret it!!
5
If you are looking for the best of gluten-free options, this is the right place for you. A wide variety from sweet to savory, everything is excellent.
5
Highly recommended! Delicious croissants and Barese focaccia, but I imagine everything else is just as good. Super honest prices and friendly staff.
5
We had a quick snack at this gluten-free pastry bar. I, being celiac, tried the cream and sour cherry pasticciotto and it was really excellent. My friends (non-celiacs) had a tiramisu and a pistachio cheesecake and they also approved. Recommended!
5
Colibrìo is a certainty for us celiacs; they have everything Gluten-free. It is wonderful to enter a place where you find the counter full of delights, both sweet and savory, all gluten-free. From focaccia to krapfen, it is delicious. You can also have a tasty aperitif. As seen in the photos, Colibrìo is a temple for us celiacs and I highly recommend it to everyone.
5
Great food and very polite staff
5
Great pastry shop, tried the barese focaccia and various brioche. Historical place for the gluten-free world right in the center of Bari.
5
Everything is very good! I believe it's paradise for us celiacs: it has everything from sweet to savory, I tasted the focaccia and croissants of various flavors, in particular I recommend the one with double filling of cream and cherry jam.
5
Everything a celiac can desire. The barese focaccia was something illegal!
5
Everything was very good, there should be more places like this.
5
The best gluten-free pastry shop I have ever tried. The sandwiches are also excellent!
5
exceptional everything gluten-free
5
Exceptional place, completely gluten-free! A certainty to eat here for those who are celiac and not!!
5
Everything is good, excellent prices, highly recommended. Great safety, only gluten-free products.
5
As a celiac, I can tell you that this is a place where dreams come true. Everything is really very good and there is an embarrassment of choice. I tried both sweet and savory items and they were soft, flavorful, and well-stuffed. The focaccia is out of this world! The cherry on top: very honest prices.
5
Locales with exclusively gluten-free offerings. Pros: Central location near the ancient Bari, a lot of choice between sweet and savory. I ordered a pain au chocolat, unfortunately, it wasn’t as flaky as I would have expected from this type of product; however, it was a great dessert, similar to a brioche. The savory options were very good; I tried a piece of rustic quiche and a single-serving tart. All for €7.50. There's also the possibility of having an aperitif. Cons: There are very few seats both inside and outside; I had to take away and eat on a bench. It might be better to book in advance.
5
great Barese focaccia, even if gluten-free of course, and very cheap.
5
A suggestive place on the main street of Bari. As a regular customer, from the pastry shop to the rotisserie, it's a true delight for the palate. Today, however, I wanted to change it up; I had a hamburger sandwich, homemade sandwich, everything was really good, not to mention the cakes. The staff is welcoming and very professional. Must try!
5
What can I say about Colibrio... It is a FANTASTIC PLACE. A workshop that does it all: from sweets to savory dishes to baked goods. In addition to the possibility of eating at tables, it also has a shop for selling products approved by the ASL. Highly recommended.
5
Highly recommended! We are now regular customers. But let me tell you something, besides the delicious and perfectly paired dishes, the staff is super attentive to all allergies and they have absolute patience. Give it a try!!
5
Every time with great pleasure and joy I go to this place; to savor delicious appetizers, tasty savory pies... And every now and then I indulge in a delightful dinner with the house specialties. ALL EXCLUSIVELY GLUTEN-FREE AND LACTOSE-FREE. I really must compliment because it is one of the few places where "ATTENTION TO CUSTOMER NEEDS AND QUALITY GO HAND IN HAND IN A PERFECT MARRIAGE". I am always satisfied every time I return. It is one of my favorite places.😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️😃😃😃😃 But let's not forget they also have EXCELLENT GLUTEN-FREE AND LACTOSE-FREE HANDMADE DESSERTS. And many other delicacies 😋😋😋♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
5
A gastronomic paradise for celiac and non-celiac palates! The stuffed focaccia and arancini are absolutely a must-try! Personally, I'm not celiac but I enjoyed the flavors of every dish I tasted!!! Average/low prices, much cheaper than other places in the area. Kudos to the entire staff ❤️
5
Gluten-free paradise! Delicious products at excellent prices ✨
5
A true paradise for celiacs. Delicious products and the possibility to have lunch or enjoy an aperitif. Prices are reasonable considering it is a gluten-free establishment.
5
Fantastic bar, everything is lactose-free and gluten-free, perfect for those who are intolerant and for others too.. highly recommended 🤩
5
Absolutely delicious products at a completely reasonable price. The best I've ever tried !!!!
5
A place suitable for celiacs, ultra-filled croissants, and delicious panzerotti. A sure appointment for me.
5
It is a wonderful place for those like me who suffer from food intolerances such as lactose and gluten. Here you really find everything from sandwiches, savory pastries, panzerotti, to sweets, croissants, aperitifs, and so on... In short, the only one, if not one of the few, to offer all this and to be specialized for intolerant people. The staff is always kind, and the prices are great for the variety and quality of the products they offer. I hope they can add more products and choices to their menus, maybe even with vegan options. I highly recommend it!
5
A lovely place in the center of Bari, with a young and kind staff. They have everything, both savory and sweet, typical dishes accessible to everyone, ALL GLUTEN FREE. Delicious barese focaccia and divine desserts, a bar area available, and a small supermarket offering gluten-free products of all kinds. I've never seen a place like this elsewhere, well done!
5
A nice little place, central and tidy, where you can find many dishes from savory to sweet, and for dessert, also gluten-free beer at honest prices!
5
The chocolate and walnut cake without gluten is very good. The staff in production and sales are friendly and very knowledgeable.
5
Good value for money. The croissants are super good, suitable for celiacs and non-celiacs.
5
Eat excellently, forgetting that there is no gluten in any preparation. Very good, prepared, kind. Highly recommended.
5
The reference point for celiacs and not only in Bari. The roastery is excellent, never predictable and with refined combinations. Not to mention the cakes and pastry in general.
5
Fairly favorable location (central Bari) Table service (during the COVID period, takeout service is available) Restrooms are available (not important 😂 but I want to specify that there is one, and it is in excellent condition) Very fast service, friendly and courteous staff, exquisite and tasty pastries and rotisserie, From my experience, the best things are the hot panzerotti and the pistachio croissants 😋🤤 Absolutely worth trying everything!
1
We were in this bar before the lockdown. We waited an exact hour for two coffees, sitting at the table, while watching all the other customers (most of whom arrived later) being served. Only after our prompt did they remember to serve us. Terrible service and absolutely unprofessional! Never waited so long for a coffee.
5
Fantastic pastry shop in the center of Bari. I personally tried some delicious pancakes, but there is a wide selection of fresh products. The fruit smoothies are also excellent.
4
Great supply of gluten-free products but with staff that are not very available in public relations. Up with the life of a celiac!
5
Everything to perfection. Excellent quality of sweet and savory production..... Warm welcome and friendliness from all collaborators and especially the owners. I invite and recommend everyone to try Colibrìo.
4
A valid alternative for those with food intolerances. From savory to sweet, there’s something for everyone’s taste! A small but well-stocked place, with only two indoor tables, the other tables are outside on the street. Fair prices.
5
A laboratory that produces sweet and savory gluten-free items. Everything is delicious. It is also a bar and has outdoor tables on one of the most beautiful streets in Bari. I highly recommend it.
5
Simply the Barese paradise for coeliacs! Many sweet and savory products really well made, tasty, cooked on the spot and to perfection! You can also shop using ASL vouchers.
