Welcome to Espressino Travel, home of the best Italian food tours in Puglia, the spectacular heel of the Italian boot. Based in the stunning city of Lecce, the 'Florence of the South,' let us be your guides through the cuisine and culture of Italy's most beautiful, unspoilt and delicious region. Inclusion and diversity are fundamental to our core values at Espressino Travel. We believe that no one

Ciao Amici!

Last chance to join us in 2024!

There are only two rooms left of our Weeklong Tour of Puglia this October (19th to 26th) where, nature permitting, we'll include a unique olive oil experience at the spectacular Masseria Le Stanzie where guests will harvest and press the farm's olives, and take home a bottle of oil they created with their own hands.

You can read the full itinerary for the week's adventures here -

Rolling into our autumn season like this vintage Fiat 500 is rolling through the centre of Lecce, Italy.

Unlike this driver, we’re not expecting pedestrians to leap out of our way.

It's festa time in Castro, where the pizzica music plays beyond midnight and spontaneous bursts of public dancing can occur at any time!

10/04/2023

We're beyond delighted that our beloved Castro, a new addition to this year's Weeklong Tour itinerary, finished a glorious fourth in 2023's competition to find the nation's "Borgo dei Borghi," Italy's most beautiful small town.

We can't wait to share what makes it so magical!

Castro si aggiudica la 4^ posizione tra i 20 borghi più belli d’Italia. Vogliamo ringraziare ogni concittadino, ogni amico e ogni persona che ama la nostra Perla, per aver contribuito con il proprio voto a questo incredibile risultato. Come sempre, vi invitiamo a trascorrere le vostre giornate nel nostro meraviglioso paradiso terrestre, tra storia, cultura e paesaggi mozzafiato💙

As much as we love working in Italy, it is by no means a perfect society. And its ugliest element reared its head last night as visiting Lazio fans subjected U.S. Lecce's black players, including World Cup Winner Samuel Umtiti, to a barrage of racist abuse so foul, the referee temporarily suspended the game.

The Lecce fans responded by chanting Umtiti's name, drowning out the bigotry spewing from the visiting fans as the Giallorossi came back to win 2-1.

Noi siamo Terroni, Africani, Albanesi, Meridionali, siamo gli ultimi, gli emigranti, quelli che lavorano il doppio per incassare la metà. Noi siamo figli del sole, siamo salentini dellu munnu cittadini, simu le Radici ca tieni. Noi siamo ❤️ 🟡🔴

Buone feste from Puglia!

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and a happy and healthy new year.

Love from Lili, Robert and all the Espressino Travel team!

Incredible evening of high energy #pizzicasalentina with @cgs_canzoniere in #specchia . The #piazza was rocking the entire night.

I know we’ve posted a lot of #luminarie recently, but #diso has taken them to an entirely new level. Check out this spectacular light display accompanied by the sounds of the legendary #raffaellacarra !

#ciaobella ! The #festadellaliberazione celebrations, commemorating Italy’s liberation from fascism, kick off in #melpignano with a little help from @antonio.castrignano_official and friends.

Tonno the #daschund is the rare #lecce character who does not enjoy an impromptu #pizzica session on the street. Grazie to Stefania and everyone at @remidaenogastronomia for hosting a great party!

Our first visit to #carnevalediputignano did not disappoint. The 630th edition of the biggest #carnevale in #puglia had a cast of thousands and was headlined by some of the most creative and brilliantly engineered floats you can imagine. I hope this video gives a sense of how massive and brilliant this is.

Festive season in #lecce is officially ON! Christmas lights are lit and the choir is letting it rip in Piazza Sant’Oronzo. #leccenight #lecceview

A few moments from the best #pizzamaking class in Italy with the incomparable @mauriziortona in the sacred kitchen of @pizzandco; bringing the taste of #napoli to the heart of #lecce and sharing it with the world!

It's festa night in Castro, when the pizzica plays beyond midnight, and spontaneous dancing can occur at any moment.
