Experience the charm of Bari Vecchia, the historic old town on a street food tour that celebrates local flavors and cultural traditions, visiting iconic landmarks like Basilica di San Nicola & Castello Svevo, all seen from the outside as your guide shares their fascinating stories.
Our guide will meet you in Piazza San Nicola, by the statue of San Nicola, ready to delight you with various Bari’s most iconic street foods. Taste the famous panzerotto, a golden, deep-fried pastry stuffed with mozzarella and fresh tomato. Enjoy handmade orecchiette, the signature “little ear” pasta of Puglia, traditionally prepared by local women, paired with one glass of the local wine. Alternatively, savor popizze, small, fluffy fritters that are a staple of Bari’s culinary heritage. End your journey with a scoop of creamy gelato at a local gelateria.

5.00Amazing food experience with Lorena. She is knowledgeable of the food of the Puglia region. She also talked about the history of Bari. My favorite is the Focacia Barese of Panificio Fiore and of course the gelato of Gentile. She is lively and has a vibrant personality. You shouldn’t miss this walking food tour with Lorena. Keep your stomach ready for this experience. Will definitely recommend this tour
