Vieste's go-to for aperitivi is this popular spot where locals line their refreshing drinks up on a rustic sea wall. Look forward to ocean views on the edge of the old town and a selection of Italian craft beers and wine. During the day it's a more laid-back espresso bar. The location used to be a carpenter's workshop.
