Reviews Summary
L'angolino di Via Matteotti is celebrated for its delicious and authentic puccia sandwiches, with many praising the quality of ingredients and the friendly staff. However, a few diners found it to be their least favorite puccia in Lecce or felt it didn't live up to the hype, with one reviewer citing a disappointing experience with cleanliness and pricing. Despite mixed reviews, many highlight the value for money and the delightful culinary discovery of the puccia.
"The waiter were so nice and gave me some tips in order to enjoy fully le Puccie.
I had the special max mariola, It was so good! The mozzarella with the veggies and the salty touch from the anchovies, perfect! The waiter advise me to get the specialità con carne di cavallo, It was good as well! But my favorite remains Special Max Mariola"

"Unfortunately, this was our least favourite Puccia in Lecce - and we’ve tried three others. The bread was good but the fillings/ingredients used were ok. Staff were excellent though!"

Let's have a trip in the glam street food of Lecce
Instead there are no doubts on the territorial motherhood of Puccia. To refresh your memory, it is a sandwich with a thin crust and without crumb, suitable to let in a very large selection of typical local ingredients to choose from. To be able to taste it in its most chic and gurmet charm, we suggest L’Angolino di Via Matteotti, a small and colorful space announced by an incredibly intimate open-air lounge in the alleys that lead from Piazza Sant’Oronzo to the famous Basilica of Santa Croce .
Gambero Rosso premia i migliori street food 2024: tra questi 5 locali di Lecce
L’Angolino di Via Matteotti, in Via G. Matteotti: "La puccia leccese - soffice e vuota all’interno - è nata negli anni ‘70 ed è già tradizione consolidata in città. Le sue caratteristiche la rendono uno scrigno per gli ingredienti - prosegue Gambero Rosso - che qui all’Angolino sono territoriali, stagionali, ben selezionati". Molto buone, poi, le varianti proposte tra le quali si consiglia di provare i “pezzetti di cavallo” (spezzatino tipico locale, leggermente piccante).
