Mediterranean cuisine 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.

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.

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!
