Baldo

££££ │ Gelato

Open All Day (closed on Mondays) │ Directions on Google

Baldo is nestled on the corner of a side street just down from Santa Croce. It's from this little road you can cut up to Porta Napoli and out to the north of the city. It's a humble little gelateria, simple and clean inside, without too much fanfare and bullshit.

Probably the worst kept secret in Lecce is that Baldo does the best gelato in town. And they do. Trust me, I've eaten a lot of it. And a lot of others. I'm the kind of stubborn arrogant person who likes to prove everyone else wrong. But having tasted Baldo head to head with the other gelaterias, once or twice another place may earn a wining cup, but over the course of the summer Baldo always ends up as the consistent winner by a fair distance.

As well as having the most delicious gelato in Lecce, they're also really nice, there is a strong focus on bio (organic) and all of their disposables are biodegradable meaning they are the only 3 star venue on the site (at the time of writing).
