A
Cucina Casareccia
Ring the bell to gain entry here. This place feels more like a private home, with its patterned cement floor tiles, desk piled high with papers, and charming owner Carmela Perrone. She’ll whisk you through a dazzling array of Salentine dishes from the true cucina povera (cooking of the poor), including horsemeat done here in a salsa piccante (spicy sauce). Booking is a must.

Mamma Lupa
Looking and tasting suitably rustic, this osteria serves proper peasant food – such as roast tomatoes, potatoes and artichokes, or horse meatballs – in snug surroundings with just a few tables surrounded by dark ochre walls.

C
La Rusticana
A fiendishly popular place for takeaway is La Rusticana, where you can fill up on rustica, a confection of puff pastry, mozzarella cheese and tomato.
