The best restaurants Barletta

As the name suggests, theosteria is located near the Santa Maria Maggiore cathedral, in the historic centre. Its cuisine is unpretentious but quite good. The menu offers many regional fish and seafood specialties, with orecchiette with cime di rapa e vongole (shellfish), soups and fried sea food, pasta with shellfish bisque, all fresh and cooked with simplicity. The products of the land are also represented, with some meat dishes and platters of mozzarella and cured meats.

On 13 February 1503, a dispute took place between Italian and French soldiers, the famous "Barletta's challenge". The theatre of this dispute was a tavern run by Baccio da Rieti, a mysterious character who, according to legend, offered a poisoned digestive to get rid of the awkward customers! Rest assured, this tavern has now become a popular restaurant with many varieties of local and ultra-fresh fish. The chef cooperates with the best fishermen of the port. Characterful address to immerse yourself in the culinary magic of Barletta.

A local cuisine, lovingly revisited in the restaurant of Franco Ricatti, one of the most famous pubs and rewarded with Michelin star. The map plays seasonally and Mediterranean cuisine with malice.

Near the Porta Marina, a restaurant with a modern style mixing a touch of rustic and elegance. You can taste a regional cuisine, which mixes all the specialties of the territory: fish, meat, cheese, pasta... The menu offers antipasti of raw seafood, fried artichokes with caciocavallo podolico cheese, pasta and risottos with seafood or with cime di rapa, and a horse stew that has been simmered for a long time. Charming welcome. Very extensive wine list with good wines from all over Italy.

Along Via Duomo, which leads to the cathedral and the castle, an excellent address to enjoy creative and tasty Apulian cuisine. The restaurant occupies a beautiful vaulted room, cool in the summer, with an elegant decor. The staff is welcoming and available, and one appreciates the little touches, such as the tasting of local olive oil at the beginning of the meal. The star dish: spaghetti al Tettuccio, served with cherry tomatoes, stracciatella and diced raw shrimp. But everything is good, from appetizer to dessert!

An elegant address where you can enjoy gourmet pizzas under the blond stone vaults of the beautiful room or, outside, in the gothic arches of the façade. The menu includes some classics such as the margherita, but above all pizzas with original and appetizing toppings, made with quality regional ingredients such as burrata from Andria and capocollo from Martina Franca. Some daily suggestions inspired by seasonal products, a little more expensive but always very tempting. On the menu, good Italian and Belgian beers.
