YOUR review of Ristorante Bari (Walk on By, May 26) was total rubbish.

How on earth can you get away with such defamation of character against such a superb restaurant? We discovered this ideal eating place only eight weeks ago. We have eaten in there five times and, on every occasion, had a fantastic meal served by friendly Italian waiters in atmospheric surroundings.

Whoever concocted the insulting article must have been having a bad hair day and, in my opinion, owes Ristorante Bari an apology.
