This bar and caffe in Piazza Sant‘Oronzo is one-stop-shop for local sweet and savory snacks like pasticciotti and rustici. There are better places to find both, but Alvino offers convenient quality.

This is a traditional café offering classic southern Italian treats, like pasticciotto and caffè leccese. If you get a seat in the front, it looks over the piazza so there's lot to see all day long or just look at the surrounding architecture. Inside is also quite nice. Try the pasticciotto with pistachio, my favourite. Prices are reasonable and the staff friendly and attentive, though they were often very busy.

What a lovely place! Amazing EVERYTHING!! I must admit that Carla and Salvatore were just the icing on the cake. So sweet and friendly. The cakes...... OMG they were just sublime. A very lazy morning in the coffee shop just feeling content, happy and relaxed. Amazing price too!! Thank you and Carla you're so lovely carry on smiling!

We stopped by while walking around Lecce and we’re so glad we did. We tried some local specialties and everything was delicious. Finished off with gelato, which was honestly one of the best we’ve had. Friendly service and a lovely spot to take a break — highly recommend if you’re in the area!

It was our first time trying Lecce’s famous pasticciotto, rustico, and caffé Leccese. We loved them! Highly recommend

Nice spot for a break — perfect for coffee and some local sweets. It was a bit cloudy when we visited, so we decided to grab a few treats to take away. Still a lovely little stop!

Jobe was such a wonderful server. Kind, helpful, able to speak and understand English and made sure our meal was perfect. We love the food here. We keep coming back! Thank you Cafe Alvino and Jobe! Back again and adding to my review. Karla is a gem! Grazie! What an amazing experience.

Great choice of deserts! Tried some, and they were all great, especially little canolli. Also, very good coffee. Quite full, but managed to get a table inside fairly quickly

A Lecce classic. We had two caffe leccese and one rustico (9 EUR in total). Both the coffee and the rustico were really good. The coffee was a bit strong (I like it that way though) and the rustico had much more bechamel and less mozzarella than others, which was a positive aspect for me but it depends on taste. It is a bit on the pricey side but considering the location (literally in the center of the main square) it makes sense.

We loved the pastries here, but the thing I loved the most was the rustica, which is basically like an inside out pizza inside of a pastry crust. Definitely will be one of our first stops next time we're in Lecce.

WARNING! Do not go in here if you have a sweet tooth.....I warned you. This is where pastry turns into pornography. All we had was gelato but, it was tempting.
