walking Bari
This photograph captures the entrance of a small eatery in Bari, Italy, specializing in traditional Italian street food. The wooden double doors are painted with colorful illustrations of food items and vibrant red text. Above the doors, a sign reads "Rosticceria - Focacceria - Friggitoria," indicating the shop offers roasted, baked, and fried delicacies. The name "L'Arte Della Focaccia 2 Dirello" is prominently displayed, emphasizing its focus on the art of making focaccia. The hand-painted food illustrations and text on the doors showcase the specialties offered, such as focacce, panzerotti, rustici, arancini, and calzoni, evoking a sense of local culinary tradition.
The dishes advertised are quintessential elements of Puglian cuisine. Focaccia, a specialty in Bari, is a soft, thick bread often topped with tomatoes, olives, and a drizzle of olive oil, offering a delightful mix of crisp and fluffy textures. Panzerotti, another regional favorite, are crescent-shaped turnovers filled with ingredients like mozzarella, tomato sauce, or ham, then fried to perfection. These handheld snacks are beloved for their rich, savory filling encased in a golden crust.
The menu also features rustici and arancini. Rustici are puff pastry circles filled with béchamel sauce, mozzarella, and tomato, baked until flaky and golden. Arancini, on the other hand, are fried rice balls typically stuffed with ragù, peas, and cheese, forming a crispy exterior with a creamy, flavorful interior. Lastly, calzoni—similar to pizza but folded—are filled with various ingredients, such as ricotta, ham, or spinach, and baked or fried to seal in the flavors. These dishes reflect the region's rich culinary heritage, offering locals and visitors a taste of Bari’s street food culture.
