Gran Caffè Moderno

A historic bar and a one of a kind gelateria! Ladies and gentlemen, we’re happy to serve you in one of the most famous spots in Mola di Bari: il Gran Caffe Moderno! A large and elegant café that has been around for more than 50 years, always ready to serve happiness, one waffle cone at a time. Mario, a third generation master gelato maker with over 35 years experience, will make you definitively fall in love with Mola di Bari, whether you order a cone, a cup, or a brioche to accompany your sweet snack.
Natural ingredients and fresh fruit predominate all of Mario’s recipes, and he takes pride in serving clients who are also lactose intolerant: a varied selection of non-alcoholic cocktails, smoothies, frappes, and freshly made juices of top tier quality.
This modern bar offers a continuous service throughout the day so that you may taste their salty or sweet creations at any hour of the day: crepes, panini, sandwiches, piadinas, savoury pies and of course an ever changing selection of gelato, pastries, cakes, and other frozen treats. With an optimal position on the edge of the main piazza of the city, you can easily admire the subdued pace of life of the townsfolk, refreshing your soul and your palate with a distinctly southern flavour.
