Places

  The sign workshop by my friend Loris. Open by appointment only; write him a DM on @alla_lettera.
• Caffè dell'Incontro [Gelato shops]

  Super gelato. Try nocciola, bacio, doppia panna and granella or zuppa inglese, spungato di caffè, doppia panna and granella.
• Caffè Dolceamaro [Gelato shops]
  Via Gaetano Salvemini 46 — Google Maps (opens in a new tab)
  An excellent alternative to the Caffè dell'Incontro, the "school" is the same. The must-have here, in my opinion, is the tronchetto, which you can purchase and eat at home.
• Caseificio Di Vagno [Dairies]
  Via Benedetto Croce 47 — Google Maps (opens in a new tab)
  The dairy shop where I buy products for my home. It's worth a visit to purchase mozzarella and other handcrafted products. Ask for Nanni and tell him that you are my friend.
• Il Torrione [Bakeries]
  Via Giuseppe Bolognini 42 — Google Maps (opens in a new tab)
  Excellent focaccia barese. Must try.
• LOI [Design shops]
  Via Alessandro Volta 8 — Google Maps (opens in a new tab)
  Welcome to my design showroom, previously a local winery, now showcasing the finest Italian and international design. Send me a DM on Instagram and come visit.
• Panificio Palumbo Domenico [Bakeries]
  Via Francesco Positano 54 — Google Maps (opens in a new tab)
  They make the taralli that I eat at my house. Try the calzone flavor (onion and raisins) and you will never go back. The traditional ones are also excellent. If you need to give them as a gift to yourself or to someone else, come here. An excellent alternative is "Mollica di Pane".
• Savì [Restaurants]
  Via San Giacomo 26/30 — Google Maps (opens in a new tab)
  A very interesting place to try a revisited idea of the classic crepes, with comfort pairings and some more innovative ones. Ask for Daniele and tell him you're my friend.
• Spacciagrani [Bakeries]
  Via Fratelli Melillo 42 — Google Maps (opens in a new tab)
  Great bakery. Try the bread, pizza and pastries.
• Vita Pugliese [Restaurants]
  Via Ospedale 15 — Google Maps (opens in a new tab)
  Great restaurant with contemporary cuisine. Tell Leo you’re my friend.
