The place
In the heart of Lecce's historic centre, Antica Pucceria Giannone has kept the tradition of Salento's puccia alive since 1941. Giuseppe Giannone, awarded the Premio Cucina Italiana UNESCO, carries on with passion the work his grandfather began more than eighty years ago. The premises, spartan and genuine, retain the atmosphere of another era: the walls are covered with messages left by customers over the decades. Each puccia is prepared on the spot, with soft dough and fresh local ingredients. Flexibility in the fillings allows for custom combinations, always in keeping with Apulian tradition.
