Ai 2 Ghiottoni
For a euro-busting blow-out sit down at Bari's premier fish restaurant, where the evening's slivery offerings (delivered fresh for lunch and dinner) literally flip-flop around in the ice-counter. From every imaginable crustacean to a host of white and oily fish, the menu and methods of cooking are encyclopaedic.

Al Focolare da Emilio
An unobtrusive restaurant which attracts a crowd of lunching families and local bigwigs. The décor is plain, but the food is something to shout about, especially the homemade pasta dishes. When ordering pasta it's best to order the same dish as it's all cooked on the spot and can take some time. The tagliatelle with mussels is their signature dish.
-
La Locanda di Federico
An elegant restaurant in the corner of Piazza Mercantile. Its pseudo-medieval décor - colourful canvases of crusading knights - is tasteful and the service is impeccable. The focus is on simple seasonal dishes, including risotto with potatoes and mussels, horsemeat in a tomato ragu, as well as fresh fish.

La Taverna sul Mare
A good fish place tucked in one of the busiest alleys of Bari Vecchia.
-
Murat
Dine in style on the roof terrace of the Palace hotel with a picture postcard view over Bari Vecchia. The menu is baroque in its offerings: sea-urchin mousse in a crust basket with herb toast, consommé of sole with seafood profiteroles and crêpes with scorpion fish fillet.

Osteria al Gambero
Also recommended this is a good fish restaurant close to the port.
-
Osteria delle Travi
This rustic old town osteria has great traditional cooking, with a splendid antipasti buffet as well as delicious pasta containing all things fishy and lots of fried delicacies. Book ahead at weekends.
-
PerBacco
Ring the bell to enter this intimate dining room, where romancing couples murmur over their PerBacco gnocchi (with a tomato and cream of aubergine sauce and rucola) and bell-sized glasses of wine. Other treats included the codfish and slices of fillet in a sweet balsamic vinegar.
-
Pizzeria Enzo e Ciro
The most celebrated pizzeria in town, tucked away down elegant Via Cardassi. The pizzas are wafer thin, the atmosphere boisterous and the beers as cheap as chips. Start with the mushroom antipasti - large frilly mushrooms grilled with a light cheese-and-breadcrumb topping.
-
Ristorante Alberosole
A first-rate restaurant where Barese in Brioni suits come to dine on pea pod-shaped pasta with anchovies, pine nuts and mint. The dining room has a modern-rustic feel that marries well with the vaulted ceiling and old stone-flagged floor.

Terranima
Peep through the lace curtains into the cool interior of this rustic trattoria. Worn flagstone floors and period furnishings make you feel like you're dining in someone's front room. The menu features earthy offerings like capocollo (thin slices of lard), potatoes and cardoncelli mushrooms, and sporcamusi (lemon custard in filo pastry).
