Probably one of the best gelato in all of Lecce. While this establishment is part of the…read moreMartinucci chain, it should not be labeled as such. The gelato flavors were so fresh and intense that making your selection from the numerous choices will be extremely difficult. They are willing to give you samples, but even that won't make things any easier. You will just have to return to try all of their flavors. Aside from the full, fresh showcases of gelato, they also have numerous of fresh-looking cookies and pastries. There is seating both indoors and out for you to enjoy your treats. If you happent o be returning from the "Maldives of Salento" you NEED to stop here!

Gelato that is worth the extra trip. This chain is based on a fabulous idea (as I experienced it):…read moreanything you may want from a pre dinner place served in a spectacular fashion: delicious gelato (and sorbet), quality coffees, tasty pastries and also some apero drinks. Although the customer turnover is high (think fast food chains) but the atmosphere is positively lively and medium to high end(ish). At this particular shop the staff has been pleasant and (as you would expect in this part of the world) VERY child-friendly. The only downside is the presence of smokers in this mecca of afternoon culinary delights. This is arguably a divisive issue but at some point I personally hope they will take notice of the world having moved on... My only other wish is international expansion for this brand!!!

Unless you love chaotic summer crowds, a midweek visit in late spring/early fall is your best bet. Oh and this place is still open for business fo shizz. Questo locale non e chiuso. Qui fanno il migliore cornetto ripieno di crema e anche nutella che io abbia mangiato. Non dimenticarvi di prendere un bel macchiato e poi sfrutare la bella vista che ce del adriatico. Ieu stau scuscetatu nel bel Salento! ;-)))

I love this place. They really do have the best pastries, especially their morning treats: the…read morecornetto col cioccolato. These pastries are warm and filled fresh with melted chocolate and sweet cream. Their gelatos are also delicious and very reasonably priced. If they have the cassata Siciliana, you should definitely give it a try. Why can't they make desserts this good in NY? The only problem is, you never know when these places are open or closed. I think for the most part this bar is open and stays open pretty late. Don't be too disappointed though when you drive there and see the gates are down. It has happened and depression definitely set in!
