A
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.

Osteria al Gambero
Also recommended this is a good fish restaurant close to the port.

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).

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.

Alberosole
Dine alongside bankers in Brioni suits at this elegant restaurant. The contemporary menu is complemented by a traditional dining room, complete with old stone floor and cathedral ceiling. The linguine con gamberi di Gallipoli, pesto di fave fresche e zenzero (linguine with prawns, fava bean pesto and ginger) comes recommended. Reserve ahead.

Vini e Cucina
Run by the same family for more than a century, this boisterous osteria (wine bar serving some food) chalks up its daily specials of well-prepared and filling Pugliese dishes. Grab a seat in the brick-flanked tunnel of a dining room and wait (and wait) to be served by the one impressively indefatigable waiter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shodai
Bari’s first Japanese restaurant is deservedly popular. Enjoy Asian classics like vegetable tempura, salmon sashimi and tuna sushi in a suitably Zen-inspired interior, with tubular steel furniture complemented by a minimalistic black-and-red colour scheme.

Maccheroni Pizzerie a Metro
Not the place for a candlelit dinner for two, but great if you love pizza and people – equally. The long and short of it is that the whole table’s order is made into one continuous pizza, served by the metre and, most importantly, delicious.

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.
