Alezio, Italy
Le Macare Ristorante
In the quiet Salentine town of Alezio, Le Macare Ristorante operates in a region where the agricultural and coastal pantry is among the more expressive in southern Italy. Puglia's deep-rooted cucina povera tradition, built on fava beans, wild chicory, burrata, and Adriatic catch, gives kitchens like this one a sourcing foundation that more northerly restaurants often have to construct artificially. For visitors moving through Lecce province, it represents a local address worth factoring into any serious itinerary.
