The next night we chose Osteria al Casale (Via Madonna delle Virtù, 29) for dinner, which is located along the main road on the southeastern edge of town overlooking the Gravina gorge. After our pre-meal passeggiata and ceremonial aperitivo of spritz with a bowl of salty olives at I Due Sassi Cafe (Piazza del Sedile) we casually made our way to the restaurant. There were a handful of tables set up on the stony outdoor dining area along the street with views of the Murga park, and since we were once again early we took the opportunity to order another aperitivo to sip on as we soaked up the last bits of evening light.

Sitting pretty in a quiet street in the heart of the city, Osteria al Casale's parasol-flanked tables are the perfect spot to twirl creamy spaghetti on a balmy afternoon. Meanwhile, airy indoor seating comes with bar-facing seating, braided lights and shelves stocked with local wines. The restaurant focuses on "cucina povera", roughly translated as serving provincial dishes that champion fresh ingredients.
