Breakfast in a bookstore
Do as the locals do and head to Libreria Zaum, a cozy bookstore that serves frothy cappuccino and fresh croissants.

Hole in the wall in the modern part of Bari
A tiny location that offers great food experiences at very reasonable prices. Here, they only use locally sourced produce in the tasty dishes that are served at plain wooden tables and chairs. Expect to wait for a table, but it's worth it. It's very popular with locals for a delicious lunch, that always includes a glass of wine or two.
