• Cattedrale Maria Santissima Assunta e S.Oronzo - Start the journey with a classic Caffè Leccese, a delightful blend of espresso and almond syrup served over ice, ideal for refreshing the senses. Accompany this with a Pasticciotto, a warm, crumbly pastry filled with smooth custard cream, or a Fruttone, its cocoa-infused counterpart with a center of almond paste and fruit preserves.
• Anfiteatro Romano - Next, enjoy one of the city’s most iconic street snacks, the Rustico Leccese. This golden, flaky puff pastry is filled with béchamel, tomato, mozzarella, and a touch of black pepper, making it an irresistible savory treat, perfect for any time of day.
• Palazzo dei Celestini - Time for something hearty! Visit a traditional pucceria to try Puccia, a rustic, wood-fired bread stuffed with tender horse meat stew—a centuries-old specialty in Salento. For those who prefer, there are delicious vegetarian options, such as grilled vegetables, local cheeses, or creamy burrata with sun-dried tomatoes.
• Basilica di Santa Croce - No visit to Lecce is complete without trying Pittule, deep-fried dough balls that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Whether served plain or flavored with tomato, olives, or anchovies, these irresistible bites perfectly showcase how simple ingredients can create incredible flavors.
• Piazza Sant’Oronzo - To end the tour on a sweet note, stop at one of Lecce’s finest artisanal gelato shops, where you can choose from a variety of seasonal and classic flavors, all crafted with local, high-quality ingredients.
