Embark on an unforgettable culinary journey through the charming streets of Lecce, where history and gastronomy merge into an experience brimming with flavours, culture, and tradition. You'll visit 4 to 5 handpicked venues to relish the authentic street food of Salento.

Here's a glimpse of potential tastings: Caffè Leccese & Pasticciotto or Fruttone. Your adventure begins with a Caffè Leccese, a delightful blend of espresso and almond syrup served over ice, ideal for invigorating your senses. Alongside, you'll savour either Pasticciotto or Fruttone (both local delicacies). Next, you’ll pause to appreciate one of the city’s most iconic street snacks, the Rustico Leccese. This golden, flaky puff pastry filled with béchamel, tomato, mozzarella, and a hint of black pepper offers an irresistible savoury bite, suitable for any time of day. Puccia con Carne di Cavallo (or Vegetarian Alternative) - time for something substantial. You’ll visit a traditional pucceria to try Puccia, a robust, wood-fired bread stuffed with succulent horse meat stew, a centuries-old speciality in Salento. If you prefer, there will be delightful vegetarian alternatives.

No visit to Lecce is complete without trying Pittule, deep-fried dough balls that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And to conclude your tour on a sweet note, you’ll stop at one of Lecce’s top artisanal gelato shops.
