La Cucina di Mamma Elvira

$$ Fodor's Choice

Down a side street with relaxed seating inside and outside a handsome palazzo, this spot delivers hearty and tasty traditional Leccese food with the occasional international twist. Meaty mainstays include the chunky orrecchiettoni pasta with Scottona (heifer) ragù and various beef, lamb, and offal dishes.
