Pasticceria Mignon - Lecce

83-years-old pasticciere and his lovely wife, together with (I believe) their son-in-law, have the experience of a lifetime making the best pasticcini you can find in Puglia and probably beyond that too (I am originally from Sicily and I am VERY difficult). They source the best ingredients, make everything themselves, by hand: all the cookies and sweets you will find here are made with passion and love, they have beautiful shapes and made my eyes AND my stomach happy. Don 't bother going anywhere else or just book a direct flight to Lecce to taste the most delicious pasticcini and pasticciotti (typical of Lecce) you will find. Do what I did: pick and choose a tray of around 6-8 pasticcini (or more, depending on how hungry you are and if you are more that two) and go and sit in the park nearby. It will be a feast to savour and remember! PS I was in Lecce for a few days and went there each day. Everything is so pure and so good, that I did not gain weight at all and I did not get a bloated stomach which I usually get from sugar. To me this shows the difference between tradition and modern 'techniques '. Pasticceria Mignon, non vedo l 'ora di tornare!

Qualità e gentilezza, finalmente un pasticceria dove i dolci non hanno un sapore troppo dolce.

Stop by and you'll go with a smile and an incredible bake.

Dolci deliziosi! Il pasticcio è superiore! Paste tradizionali al 100% con personale qualificato e sempre sorridente. Sono totalmente soddisfatto.

We were just passing by and decided to enter just for curiosity. It is a treasure!! They have all the variety of traditional pugliese bakery, including pasticcioto and others which you won’t find in other places. Everything is fresh, hand made and delicious!! Owners of the pasticceria is a lovely couple, 83 and 85’years old, who opened this place 60 years ago. So this is a true experience because you can see how he’s making all the sweets himself AMAZING, really made my day
