StéFrisk
The only address inside the city of Bari that either of Dissapore's 2026 gelato rankings (national top 100 and Puglia top 21) names, less than a year after opening, on the strength of a short, named supply chain and flavours built specifically from Puglia ingredients rather than a generic craft-gelato menu.
What to order
Fior di Puglia (burratina di Andria, olive oil, Salento tarallo, wild blackberry), or the barattiere-cucumber sorbet
What we know
- Open laboratory visible from the counter ('laboratorio a vista') a short walk from the University of Bari
- Milk, cream, cheese and eggs from named local farms; produce bought mainly at Bari's Santa Scolastica market for a short supply chain
- Local almonds and Stigliano pistachio roasted in-house to the recipe's needs
- Distinctive Puglia-forward flavours built from local ingredients: 'Fior di Puglia' (burratina di Andria, olive oil, Salento tarallo crumble, wild blackberry reduction), goat's-milk ricotta stracciatella, and a barattiere-cucumber sorbet (a local cucumber variety) with salt, lime and mint
- The only Bari-city address in Dissapore's 2026 national ranking of Italy's 100 best gelaterie (No. 41) and in its 21-strong Puglia regional ranking (No. 6) — every other Puglia entry in both lists sits outside the comune of Bari
- Savoury and unconventional flavours in rotation: riso cacio e pepe, pumpkin velouta with Altamura bread, butter-and-miso
