PUGLIA, ITALY: Why you must visit & the BEST PASTICCIOTTO in LECCE (VIDEO)
The Southern Italy region of Puglia has everything you would want in a trip: beaches, incredible food, history, a slower pace of life, and friendly faces!
WHERE ELSE DO YOU WANT TO SEE ME GO IN EUROPE?! Leave a comment below, let me know!
I visited Lecce, in Salento, with my friends Jeremy, Michelle and Dominico (who live there!). THE PEOPLE of the trip made it truly incredible…but the PLACE was extraordinary, too!!
Watch the video for my favorite things in Puglia, including:
1. The beach! We went to Punta Della Suina in Gallipoli
2. Gelato. (Enough said!)
3. Linguine alla vongole — my favorite dish I had (which was a really hard decision to make). L’Ostrica Ubriaca in Lecce has such delicious seafood!
4. The history! Explore, read, learn…you’ll be happy you did.
5. The food! While you’re there, you’ve got to try pasticciotto, have a rustico, drink some Quarta coffee, have orecchiette pasta, eat some taralli (kind of like pretzels, so addicting!). And of course, the seafood, pizza, lasagne, horse meat stewed in red wine, the list goes on…
A big thanks to the family behind Caffe L’Incontro in Lecce!! They warmly welcomed me and my camera back into their kitchen to watch how they make their incredible pasticciotto. The king of pastries in Salento!

Ma i leccesi che nella cartina del Salento tolgono tutta la parte nord? Patetici lol
Have you been to other places in puglia? Lecce stand out?
I love Galatina my origin 20 km from Lecce there where the pasticciotto is born. Favoloso! Wikipedia: History The invention of pasticciotti is credited to Andrea Ascalone, a chef in the town of Galatina in Lecce, who in 1745 used ingredients left over from full-sized tortas to create a smaller cake. The name pasticciotto allegedly comes from Ascalone himself regarding his creation as a pasticcio, or "mishap".
What an awful voice you have.
Can I put your pasticciotto video up on my web , wineandfoodtraveller, and take a look at where else we go in Italy.
La mía terra <3

I loved my visit to Italy… and just to go and get to eat! Wonderful! Thanks
That looks so good!! It would be cool if you went to Barcelona, somewhere in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Europe is so beautiful though so go everywhere you can!!! 🙂
Looks amazing! Great video
Marseille in France, you have to come to Marseille and visit me!! That would be soooooo amazing!!! Shamefully enough I have to confess that I have never been to Italy (though so close from where I live) but it has been a dream of mine to visit this beautiful country and thanks to your video, that desire has increased a bit more!! Thank you so much for your work and what you do!! 😀
