FOOD
Hippopotamus
Via Abate Giacinto Gimma 159, +39 080 573 9862, www.hippopotamusbari.com A delightful sea-food joint, conveniently located near the centre of town, offering the finest fish that Adriatic has to offer. And for those scared of the sea – the pizza is out of this world.
Giampaolo Ristorante Pizzeria
Via Lombardi, 18, +39 080 523 8828, www.giampaoloristorazionebari.com A fine selection of fruit, both from the sea and the land, is on the reasonably priced menu here. But it’s all about the desserts at Giampaolo – try the Cake Fantasy.
FRIENDS
Colorado Caffe
Via Turati 28 Smack bang in the middle of town, the Colorado Caffe is a perfect place to relax after a hard day’s exploring. It epitomises Bari’s vibrant nightlife, and can get a bit lively later on.
Madrugada 77 Café
Armando Diaz With its outdoor seating area, cheap prices and child-friendly attitude, recharge your batteries here over a coffee and slice of cake.
INSIDER TIP
A trip to the 13th-century Castel Del Monte, just outside Bari, is a must for history lovers – its gothic architecture speaks of East and West conflict.
