The one to order

The panino col polpo: tender octopus with burrata and dried tomato in a soft roll

The line to expect: Busy at lunch and during the evening passeggiata; open every day until late. Beat it: mid-afternoon.

Bari is the city of octopus, and this counter on the main corso turned the old seafront snack into a full sandwich with Puglian burrata and tomato, with panzerotti and local salumi on the side.
