Mari Gio In Alliste

01/10/2025: Perfection doesn't exist, it's true, but here the quality is top-notch! We tried the pasticciotto and pasticciottottino for breakfast, both with cream (exquisite). They also have a good selection of savory treats, with stuffed bites and excellent rustichini. What can I say? It's worth a visit again, even if we're just passing through. Social media helps you discover these places, which then need to be verified in person (sometimes, in fact, they're a scam). The title of best pastry chef in Salento is well-deserved. Kudos to the lady at the cash register, who combines kindness and friendliness. Highly recommended.

26/09/2025: Too bad about the coffee, which was a little too strong... the pasticciotto??? 6... the cream was good enough, but it was crumbly and slightly off-tan. Not exactly accurate. You can't fool a Salento native... overall, I think it got a little lost... and it's a shame... 2.50 seems a bit too much to me.
