With the term street food (in Italian “cibo di strada”) we indicate those foods, salty and sweet, prepared, served and consumed in the street, often cheap and hearty. An ancient practice that in Italy has its roots in the regional culinary tradition. Every city has its own delicacies, and Puglia is no less so. Here we make you discover the genuine Apulian street food.

Foggia and Gargano: scagliozzi and paposcia

In Foggia it is used to prepare “scagliozzi”, squares of polenta fried in abundant oil, then salted, to taste hot and crispy. You find them in the “friggitorie” (shop where you buy fried food), while instead in Bari (where they are called sgagliozze) they are prepared mainly in the old town by women of Barivecchia.
