Prophet In Lecce

05/10/2025: Offishina and Danilo's Osteria: A Journey Through Taste Danilo, an acquaintance born outside of the restaurant business, welcomed me, my husband, and friends to his Osteria. It's not just a lunch, it's a true regeneration. The heart of the experience is the Offishina fish cured meats, Danilo's unique creations that offer simply incredible and unexplored taste experiences. The wine selection is perfect, completing an atmosphere where passion and love permeate every detail. ​Behind all this are irreplaceable pillars: Maria Teresa and Carmelo, unparalleled in hospitality, and the "mainstays" Valerio and Pamela. ​Between the dishes cooked and presented with obsessive care, the passion of this close-knit family, and the Offishina products—the true food of the future—a piece of my heart has remained.

31/08/2025: This place has become a must-try for me every time I visit Salento. Words can't describe the mastery of the preparation and sophistication of the dishes. We're talking about fish cured meats! I don't eat meat or meat products, but I can say with certainty that their fish cured meats are every bit as good as real cured meats. Try them and believe them! Grab a platter, or a tuna porchetta, or a tuna veal stew, and tell me I'm wrong! All washed down with the local rosé... Top! But can we leave out the dessert that literally blows my mind? The frisamisú! I repeat, it's a must-try for me every time I visit. Unfortunately, it seems they're about to cut back on the opening flowers to focus more on their artisanal cured meats, which you can buy if you want 😉😉
