01 · In a sentence

Al Pescatore in Bari, open JuneOctober.

Guests arrive at Al Pescatore to discover a waterfront restaurant in Bari's historic center, where the Adriatic Sea frames every table and the kitchen delivers fresh seafood that anchors the evening.

From aperitivo on the piazza to the final course, attendees experience the rhythm of a working restaurant transformed into an intimate celebration.

The 4.1-star venue merges local Mediterranean cuisine with the spontaneity of dining steps from the water's edge.

The best sea foods in Bari. All the dishes were delicious and the staff were very nice and helpful. All of us had options to eat. (e.g.: fish without bones) Highly recommend, the place is a bit out of the crowded tourist area, but reservation needed.
