Puglian restaurants in Bari

  1. A

    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.

    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.

    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.
