Modern grill house
La Moderna Brace
A contemporary grill house where meat is the absolute star: selected cuts cooked over live embers, with real attention to ingredient quality. Polished but relaxed setting, perfect for a hearty yet easy-going dinner.
What to expect: steaks and grilled cuts, seasonal sides, a solid wine list. Booking recommended.
A neighbourhood grill house rooted in Puglia's tradition: bombette, sausages, skewers and meat cooked to order. Honest vibe, generous portions and fair pricing — the right address for an authentic experience.
What to expect: butcher-grill format — pick your meat at the counter and they cook it for you. Informal, great value for money.
A local reference for Bari's oven baking: tall, fragrant focaccia, pizza by the slice, panzerotti, fresh bread and traditional pastries. Perfect for a quick bite, an informal lunch or to grab something tasty to take home.
What to expect: counter street food, friendly prices, queues at peak times. Try the Bari-style focaccia at least once.
A bistro devoted to Adriatic seafood, with refined dishes ranging from raw to cooked. Elegant yet relaxed setting — ideal for a special evening, a seafood lunch or a coastal-flavoured aperitivo.
What to expect: raw fish, seafood pastas, mains and a solid white wine list. Booking recommended, especially on weekends.
A great spot to start the day: quality coffee, warm pastries and fresh viennoiserie, freshly squeezed juices and proper cappuccinos. Quiet, welcoming atmosphere — perfect for a relaxed breakfast before heading out to explore the city.
What to expect: a proper Italian breakfast, quick and friendly service. Recommended for the morning — not as an aperitivo spot.
A modern, welcoming neighbourhood café, ideal for morning breakfast. Good coffee, croissants and fresh pastries, with sweet and savoury options to start the day at your own pace.
What to expect: a well-made Italian breakfast, neat setting and friendly service. A short walk from The Urban Ravanas.
