Small place not far from cathedral. Friendly owners who explained the 'histrory' of the typical puccia leccese, the ingredients of this sort of sandwich taken into the fields by farmers, so the typical puccia contains mortadella, different cooked vegetables in different 'sections' of the puccia, anchovies and special 'ricotta forte'. If you don't like any of the ingredients you can leave it out as they prepare it fresh for you when you arrive, The puccia is eaten slightly warmed/toasted, and costs 5 euros. If you want a light lunch in Lecce historical centre this is a good option in my opinion. Local craft beer also available and a few seats inside and out.

Piccola Osteria nel centro di Lecce accogliente e molto intima. Si possono degustare piatti tradizionali sia di terra e sia di mare. Tutto rigorosamente preparato dalla Chef Lina con tanta Passione Cura e Amore.

Worth the walk to try this exemplary local restaurant. I booked by email and Adriano was quick to respond. Friendly welcome and a great balance between warm hospitality and professional formality. Particularly enjoyed the selection of plates 'from the garden'. the wine recommendations were also excellent.
