Once you get past this difference in meat though Il Carrettino a pretty decent burger spot. There’s a good selection from American classics to Italian inspired options. You can get bbq sauce and bacon and american cheese, or you can have creamy italian cheese with more classic panino fillings. We had a lovely evening here with friends and all four of our burgers were really great. They’ll ask you how you want your burger cooked.

Il Carrettino is in Mazzini, the newer part of the centre that feels more like Milan than it does the rural traditional south, and its priced accordingly. Burger and chips is over a tenner, which for Salento is a lot. In fact its too expensive for what it is. But they do care, I expect the beef is of a higher provenance than average, and with a super friendly team and a very buzz interior it probably could be argued that it’s worth the value for money (if only just).
