Undisputed symbol of the town of Bari: her Majesty the Orecchietta!
Result of a thousand-years old tradition, the homemade orecchietta is a must-see attraction.

A blast from the past is essential to the pasta experience. After visiting the Basilica of St. Nicholas, the main squares, the Swabian Castle and the Cathedral of St. Sabino, a moment of interaction with the local ladies is not to be missed.

In Bari grandmothers open up the doors of their houses from the early hours of the morning, come out singing old songs, sweep the stone floor and scatter their homemade orecchiette on the mesh screens of wooden trays.

Stop in a lively, populated and animated location, a local lady’s house opened to everybody where the grandmother combines real life and interaction with tourists. If you are interested in living like a real local, we will not disappoint your expectations.
Nonna Maria will catch you up in chatting while kneading semolina and making orecchiette of all sizes. A lifetime is not long enough to become a pasta expert, as the ladies confirm.
A tasting of the true Apulian flavours, orecchiette with homemade fresh tomato sauce.

The best souvenir you cannot miss in Bari!
We can't wait to meet you.
