What You’ll Experience

Cattedrale di Maria Santissima Assunta e Sant'Oronzo (Pass By)

Caffè Leccese & Pasticciotto or Fruttone – We begin our journey with a classic Caffè Leccese, an irresistible combination of espresso and almond syrup served over ice, perfect for refreshing your senses. Alongside, you'll indulge in Pasticciotto, a warm, crumbly pastry filled with velvety custard cream, or a Fruttone, its cocoa-infused cousin with a heart of almond paste and fruit preserves.

Anfiteatro Romano (Pass By)

Next, we’ll stop to 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 hint of black pepper, making it an irresistible savory bite, perfect for any time of day.

Palazzo dei Celestini (Pass By)

Puccia con Carne di Cavallo (or Vegetarian Alternative) – Time for something hearty! We’ll visit a traditional pucceria to try Puccia, a rustic, wood-fired bread stuffed with succulent horse meat stew—a centuries-old specialty in Salento. If you prefer, there will be delicious vegetarian alternatives, such as grilled vegetables, local cheeses, or creamy burrata with sun-dried tomatoes.

Basilica of the Holy Cross (Pass By)

Pittule – 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 are the perfect example of how simple ingredients create incredible flavors.

Piazza Sant'Oronzo (Pass By)

Gelato Artigianale – To conclude our tour on a sweet note, we’ll stop at one of Lecce’s best artisanal gelato shops, where you can choose from a variety of seasonal and classic flavors, all made with local, high-quality ingredients.
