Bari's cuisine is a treasure trove of flavors and traditions that reflect the cultural richness of the region. Start your gastronomic tour with orecchiette, small ear-shaped pasta that perfectly captures robust sauces like the one made with turnip greens, a combination born right here in Bari. For a taste of street food, try the panzerotto, a crescent-shaped pocket of fried dough filled with tomato and mozzarella.
For a true local experience, visit one of the trattorias in the heart of the old town, where you can enjoy dishes like rice, potatoes, and mussels, a comfort food that combines the flavors of the sea and the land. Don't forget to end your meal with a glass of Primitivo, a full-bodied red wine that pairs perfectly with red meats and aged cheeses.
Durante la tua visita, cerca di partecipare a uno dei numerosi festival gastronomici, come la Sagra del Mare a Mola di Bari, dove il pesce fresco è il protagonista indiscusso. Queste feste offrono non solo cibo eccellente ma anche musica, danza e, soprattutto, l’opportunità di immergersi nella vita locale.
