13 Best Restaurants in Bari

Bari is the capitol of Italy’s Puglia region. This southeast region of Italy is becoming more and more popular, and Bari is the main gateway to this region. I recommend spending a day or two exploring Bari & it’s incredible food scene before heading out to explore the rest of Puglia.

Bari has so many incredible restaurants, but I’ve taken a pass at narrowing down my favorites!
