Ancient Bakery “Gentile” in Bari – Dante Road

In Bari there is a little bakery with a great history. Its name is “Gentile”, situated in Bari, its address is Via Dante Alighieri no. 409 and there you’ll find all sweet and savory apulian specialties.

This bakery begins its history in the last century – end of 1800 – and nowadays Michele Gentile (father) and Gaetano Gentile (son) are the fifth and sixth generation.

In their store are all the scents and flavours of tradition, there you can taste the original “focaccia barese” (its like a pizza, but better), bread, biscuits, “Taralli” and so much more. Michele and Gaetano are simple and kind people, always ready to give you another taste in addition to what you bought.

The place and the owners deserve a break.
