The best restaurants Bari

In this restaurant, you can only treat yourself! The chef Daniele Caldarulo, and Emilio at the service, always with a smile on his face, will know how to pamper you to give the best of their cuisine. Excellent pizzas, like the whole menu. On the menu, tartars, risottos and pasta with a thousand flavours, fish with unimaginable recipes... The ricotta cake with its caramel cream is a delight, as is the dark chocolate cake with its white chocolate flowing, excellent value for money and very good wines.

One of Bari's emblematic addresses, where you can enjoy local cuisine in a chic atmosphere, with a small covered terrace and a rather "proper" clientele. Particular attention is paid to the choice of local and seasonal raw materials and to the freshness of the fish and seafood from the Adriatic Sea, which are grilled or served as raw and cooked antipasti. Lovers will rush to the large sea urchin platters. Homemade pasta and a fine selection of wines. Close to the Petruzzelli theatre.

A narrow room, stone and ceiling ceiling, located next to the old town. Typical dishes of the region without a map. Please know that the antipasti and dessert are imposed without any choice. Side menu, three entries and two dishes (meat or fish). On the way out, a night walk to enjoy along the walls.

Close to the station, in a modern room with a careful and design decoration, the Peppo offers at any time of the day traditional dishes (cavatelli with wild boar and cardoncelli mushrooms) and more innovative suggestions (tuna in taralli crust), plates that are both generous and aesthetically pleasing. Young and dynamic team; behind the bay window you can see the staff busy in the kitchen. Good selection of wines of the day. In the morning, you can have breakfast there. A pleasant address with good value for money.

Situated at the entrance to the old town, in the pretty and romantic Piazza Mercantile, La Cecchina offers a fine cuisine and well-stocked plates. Choose between the interior setting, where the modern decoration harmonizes with the old stones and the vaulted ceiling, or the terrace overlooking the square and the first buildings of the old town. In both cases, an ideal place for a successful candlelight dinner. Typical Apulian recipes, fresh fish of the day, good pasta, and a beautiful wine list.

On the large terrace on the edge of Piazza Mercantile, or in the cosy room with partially exposed stone walls, one can appreciate the atmosphere of this address and its simple and well-made Apulian local cuisine. The menu takes us on a journey from Bari, with its fresh fish and orecchiette alla brasciola (slowly simmered meat rolls), to the Itria Valley with its cold meats and bombette (slices of pork stuffed with local cheese). Antipasti of land and sea in profusion.

Located on the outskirts of the new city, Taiki Sushi offers, as its name suggests, Japanese cuisine. The restaurant fills up every evening, so don't forget to book! In a young and lively atmosphere, people come here to enjoy sushi and makis prepared in front of you, seafood ramens and tempuras, or simply to have a drink to breathe the atmosphere of the place. It is also the occasion to taste a Japanese or Italian beer. For a change from the local cuisine! You can order your takeaway meals online.

Passing the old sign with the inscription "Caffè Batafore", you first enter the tea room and then arrive at the restaurant room, vaulted and decorated with period objects, with an old-fashioned atmosphere. Delicious traditional cuisine featuring kilometre-zero products and seasonal vegetables. Typical dishes such as fave e cicoria (bean purée with chicory), pasta, local cheeses and fish. At weekends, the restaurant hosts theme evenings related to the traditional cuisine of Puglia.

Enjoy a cup of coffee or a cold drink on the terrace, as well as cocktails and sushi. 

The best panzerotti (stuffed pizza slips) from the city according to the premises!

A warm address right in front of the Palace Hotel Bari, with a vaulted and intimate room, chandeliers diffusing soft light, a bar with an abundance of vintage decoration, jazzy and enveloping music. Small terrace overlooking the street. Possibility to arrive late for dinner. The cuisine is traditional and good value for money, with several pasta dishes such as, for example, orecchiette with tomatoes and pecorino. Ask the staff for advice and they are very welcoming.

A beautiful covered and shaded terrace facing the castle, where the reception is most pleasant. The speciality of the restaurant: fresh and local fish and seafood. For wolf and sea bream, grilled or baked with olives (a treat!). Let yourself be tempted by a lobster or marinated mussels, followed by a sea risotto or cuttlefish ink pasta, all washed down with a good Apulian wine. Grilled steaks for carnivores. Attention, add to the price the side dishes! For dessert, try the pastiera (a ricotta cake)

A historic establishment in old Bari, open since 1906, which perpetuates the local culinary traditions with simplicity and respect for good products. Popular atmosphere in the vast white room furnished with heavy tables and dark wooden benches. A fine assortment of antipasti at the buffet and generous typical dishes such as orecchiette al ragù di cavallo (horse stew) and riso potato cozze (rice, potatoes and mussels), all served under the watchful eye of the owner, whom you may manage to cheer up at the end of the meal!

In the historic heart of Bari, this restaurant is well located on the great Mercantile Square. The menu offers many typical dishes: a thousand vegetarian leaves and salad of mango and adjoining avocado, pizzas (one twenties), pasta and meat of all kinds, tiramisu and fresh fruit pie, and country wines. Butterflies are freaking out, but taste is the disappointment: The pizzas are small with canned products, and the salad in sachet. The staff were very helpful and helpful.
