Al Sorso Preferito Menu

At Al Sorso Preferito in Bari, the menu reads like a love letter to Puglian tradition, each dish revealing a confident hand in the kitchen. Spaghetti all’Assassina arrives with its signature charred edges and fiery tomato glaze, a bold, addictive plate that sets the tone for the rest of the meal. The crudo di mare is pristine-sweet shrimp, delicate slices of fish, and briny bites that taste like the Adriatic in its purest form.

Cavatelli ai frutti di mare comes generously layered with mussels and clams, while paccheri rigati con ricciola offers thick pasta tubes that cradle tender amberjack in a silky sauce. Orecchiette appear in two tempting variations: the earthy, bitter harmony of cime di rapa and a comforting Bolognese version.

Among starters, the antipasto misto keeps the table lively with cozze gratinate, carciofi fritti, and polpette di carne, each one simple yet satisfying. Patate riso e cozze and its rustic cousin, the tiella barese, deliver that homestyle depth of flavor only slow baking can achieve. Fried specialties like sgagliozze, zeppole, and frittura mista di mare add crunch and nostalgia.

A spoonful of tiramisu and a glass of wine round out a menu that feels both traditional and full of character.
