I had the chance to tick off every item from my personal list of things to eat and drink while in Bari.
Panzerotti are a popular street food, and the light filling of some tomato/light cream mix surprised me. What looks like a calzone is actually a deep-fried turnover.
Passing through the market area on any day was a colorful feast for the eyes.
I also got to try the region’s famous Arancini (stuffed rice balls, coated with bread crumbs, and then deep fried).
This drink, Negroni, was a recommendation by a contributing editor of The New York Times. Negroni is a concoction of Gin, Vermouth, and Campari. We had it with our lunch, and afterwards I felt as if the sun shone a bit brighter. 🙂
Bari, we had mostly blue skies and sunshine in late November.
Our rickshaw tour guide had recommended this Espressino freddo, which is a combination of espresso, cocoa powder, and milk. This was very nice.
Last, but not least, I tried the famous Focaccia Barese, which is like a slice of pizza, but without any cheese. This is a great snack!
