La Uascezze
La Uascézze
A cozy home-style restaurant tucked away in an alley of Bari's Old Town, known for its generous portions and consistent quality of baked rice with mussels and Apulian appetizers.
Located in Corte S. Agostino in Bari's Old Town, near the seafront, this restaurant has limited seating and serves only traditional Bari cuisine. The signature dish is the baked tiella made with rice, potatoes, and mussels. Other options include baked mushrooms, fava bean puree with chicory, bacon rolls, and beef rolls stewed in tomato sauce. The menu changes, and orecchiette pasta is not always available, so please ask first. A dinner consisting of two appetizers, a main course, dessert, and half a liter of wine costs about €42.5. It opens at 19:45, and calling ahead to reserve (+39 320 628 4295) is recommended. Within walking distance from anywhere in the Old Town.
