APULIAN RESTAURANT AND LITERARY CAFÉ
Terranima Apulian restaurant
In downtown Bari, within the blocks of the Murattian village, there are the two entrances to Terranima, a historic restaurant serving typical apulian cuisine, that continues to preserves its original vocation as a cultural bistro loved by wayfarers and travelers searching for the most authentic taste tours in Puglia.
Restaurant
The ambiance of our restaurant, resembling the Apulian village squares called “courts”, is an authentic hymn to the gastronomic tradition of Puglia.
Literary Café
A locale with a delightful Nouveau Art style, perfect for enjoying exciting aperitifs from Puglia and for attending an amazing line-up of events, including cooking shows and live music.
Menu
Our menu is a succession of typical dishes of the Apulian culinary tradition, from the historic Terranima recipe book, using wholesome raw materials with zero carbon footprint.
Typical products
Every corner of the restaurant is full of typical products and the aromas of the Apulian countryside spreads throughout, overflowing from the straw baskets filled with daily fresh country cooking treats.
TYPICAL APULIAN CUISINE
Our dishes
Our food menu follows the seasonal rhythm. The journey begins with a variety of “scacciappetito” or appetizers: focaccia, panzerotti, sgagliozze, vegetable casseroles and parmigiana. It continues with delicious seafood alternated with charcuterie and farm cheeses.
Among the top dishes, the legendary Bari potato, rice and mussel tiella, orecchiette pasta with turnip greens and orecchiette pasta with pork chop Sunday ragù sauce .
The entrees dance between the countryside and the sea, with Capocollo di Martina Franca bombette and fish from the Torre Guaccio marine reserve.
The house desserts are irresistible. The “sporcamuss” disappear quickly, rectangles of puff pastry filled with custard that leave a trace of icing sugar on your lips.
