Panificio Fiore
A century-old bakery in Bari's Old Town; its freshly baked tomato focaccia is the top recommendation from locals for first-time visitors.
Located at 38 Strada Palazzo di Città in Bari's Old Town, just steps from the Basilica of San Nicola, this family-run bakery has been baking since 1508 according to the Puglia Guys. The signature item is the wood-fired Focaccia Barese, sold by the slice for about €2 each. They also sell snacks like panzerotti. There are no seats inside, so most customers eat outside or on the go. There is often a queue, and some diners report that items are sold out by around 18:00, so morning visits are recommended. Located in the Old Town, it is accessible only on foot.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–13:30, 17:30–20:00; Thursday and Sunday mornings only (varies slightly by source)
