Hala says
A few steps off Piazza Sant'Oronzo, Natale is the Lecce purist's pasticciotto: traditional custard only, eaten warm.
The pasticciotto is the Salentine pastry: a small, oval shortcrust case filled with custard. Natale is the address for the traditional version: shortcrust well-baked and fragrant, custard fresh and clean. Don't get distracted by the variations; order the classic crema, ask for it caldo (warm), and eat it standing. For breakfast, pair it with an espressino freddo. Cash is faster than the card line.
