There is no Sunday lunch in Puglia and in Lecce without the most beautiful and delicious pastries which include: babà with rum, cannoli with ricotta, bignè with lemon pastry cream.

Pastry shops start making fresh cannoli and pasticciotti very early in the morning and you can smell the savory lemon cream and pasticciotto from the street.

All the pastry shops get very busy around 12am, just before lunch, when everybody rushes to get the best pastries.

Even if you may choose among tons of different pastries, you have always the impression you are missing the best. Therefore all trays (in Italian “guantiera”) end up being very big.

The Sunday pastries are something not to be missed if you come to Puglia. Make sure you order yours before 12am.
