One of the best ways to experience Bari like a local is through its street food. Head to the famous Mercato del Pesce, a lively fish market, and try some freshly caught seafood. Don't miss the iconic panzerotti, a deep-fried turnover filled with mozzarella and tomato sauce. Sample the local orecchiette pasta, typically served with a rich tomato sauce and topped with grated cheese. For a sweet treat, try the pasticciotto, a traditional pastry filled with custard cream. Explore the narrow alleys of Bari Vecchia to discover hidden gems where locals gather to enjoy their favorite street food.
