Delia is about a 10-minute walk from Piazza Mazzini, the most fashionable part of Lecce, and it lives up to the area’s reputation with bang-on-trend pastel pink/teal interior, mid-century style chairs & lighting and decent-sized bright wood tables. So good a place is this to come with a laptop I am actually bashing this in on my keyboard now. Also, so hot a place is this to come for a coffee that I’ve already bumped into several people I know. Not that I’m the man about town who knows everyone (far from it) but you know what I mean.

They have a simple selection of elegant pasticceria, it’s not the place to come for an enormous cream-filled coda (crispy pastry tails), it’s more of a mini torta with meringue/perfectly glazed fruit/chocolate-ganache twirls type of place, as well as the usual breakfast selection, including Lecce’s famous pasticciotti, all of which is well made.

A lovely addition to Mazzini, and a great place for a long natter or to get a bit of work done.
