Highlights
- Introduce yourself to our team and embark on this remarkable gastronomic journey!
- Get ready for your initial food adventure. Your guide will escort you to a nearby fruit and vegetable market to unveil the authentic, raw tastes of Salento; you’ll be mesmerized by the lush colors and fragrant aromas of the local produce.
- As we traverse Libertini street, prepare for your next food sampling at the “pucceria”. You may be wondering, what is puccia? It’s a warm, freshly-baked bread filled with marinated vegetables, cheese, ham, and mozzarella—an absolute treat for your taste buds!
- Following the puccia experience, you may need to stroll around for a bit, so let’s take a walk down the exclusive rococo-style Palmieri Street, renowned for its municipal buildings.
- Once you land at St. Oronzo square, you can’t miss out on one of Lecce’s most coveted delicacies—the Rustico—a round puff pastry filled with mozzarella, béchamel, tomato, and pepper. Also, no food tour in Lecce would be complete without indulging in “pezzetti di cavallo” - succulent pieces of horse meat simmered in appetizing, local tomato sauce.
- Conclude your culinary tour at a local coffee shop where you can savor an Italian espresso, accompanied by a delectable pasticciotto (a sweet, round pastry filled with lemon custard) and cotognata (quince jam).

Great street food tour with history of city - Guide was very knowledgeable. The food was great and we had the perfect amount with each stop. Not overwhelming portions which was good because it was a warm day. Really enjoyed the entire tour

Great Food and History - The Lecce Street Food Tour was both informative and delicious. Elenora was our guide and she was so knowledgeable about the history of Lecce. It was a great mix of history and food.
