Terranima - Via Putignani 213 BARI - tel 080 5219725. Around 18 Euro, all cards.
They call themselves a 'leisure place in Puglia': they have local food from Puglia (the region of Bari), cultural meetings, music in the night in a soft pleasantly informal style, with wooden chairs and tables. Cheap price, right in the city centre, not far from the Petruzzelli theatre.
In Trani (30 km North of Bari along the coast), a city a with a wonderful cathedral and a very nice fishing port, you should visit: Osteria ai Platani - Via Elena Comneno 16, tel. 0883 482421, all cards.</p
In Palese, very close to the airport, a few km Nortrh of Bari, it's worth visiting Tommaso, alomg the sea at Lungomare Massaro in Marina di Palese, tel. 080 5300038.
Favorite Dish: Anywhere in Puglia, you will find a lot of raw shellfish. This is very typical and cannot be avoided: it's a strange kind of delicacy, with soft tones which must be experienced and peacefully tasted: mussels, 'datteri', various difefrent kinds of clams, sea-urchins, sea-lemons and even shrimps are fresly caught, washed and served with a lemon slice.
Apart from raw sea products, Puglia's cuisine offers a lot of vegetables, horse meat, and several kinds of pasta (strascinati, orecchiette.....).

There are some restaurants near the train station where you can have good and quite cheap pissa with beer. And there are some cafes on Emanuelle Street where you can eat cornettes and drink capuchino, tea or anything.
Favorite Dish: Cornette and capuchino in the morning...
Pissa and beer in the evening...

Shall I start by warning you away from the worst restaurant in Italy? You will inevitably pass by a place called 'da Rafaelle' and you might think it looks cozy and be attracted by their 'specialty: Seafood' signs, but inside you will find the most venomously hostile proprietor imaginable. He slams the dishes at you, doesn't listen when you order, demands to know what you want without even telling you what there is, ignores efforts to get his attention, and actually serves pretty lousy food. In addition, the minute we walked in, he switched on the enormous TV, turned the volume all the way up, and accompanied our dinner with live reports from a campground landslide in Calabria, where bodies were being pulled from the mud and people were screaming in anguish.Real nice.......If you speak Italian, I HIGHLY recommend a place called simply 'Hosteria', which is located just off the big square that closes off the Eastern edge of the Medieval city. You go down into a sort of brick cave where you are ordered where to sit, and the slightly confused staff come and bark at you. It's not hostility, they're just wildly busy. Be warned, there are no menus and they talk fast so be ready to answer them when they say 'Da bere?' or start spieling the evenings offerings.
This is a neighborhood joint in one of the neighborhoodiest places I've ever seen. It's good basic Cucina Povera served with no pretense and no concessions to tourists.
Favorite Dish: Fave e Cicorie, Southern Italian soul food. Warm fava bean puree,cooked chicory, and a splash of olive oil and salt. Done.
