'Scante - Trattoria con Aperitivo

Scante - Trattoria con Aperitivo is a trattoria in Lecce that combines a contemporary aperitivo setting with dishes rooted in local tradition. The cuisine centers on Puglian and Italian flavors, with a clear focus on well-prepared regional recipes and small plates suited to both lunch and evening service.

The atmosphere is welcoming and informal, with a modern, cozy room that feels slightly tucked away from the busiest streets. The most characteristic offerings include aperitifs, crostini, fried sardines, octopus meatballs, lamb ragout, and distinctive desserts such as the vermouth-and-orange dessert with dark chocolate.

Its identity is defined by a careful balance between traditional Salento cooking and an aperitivo-oriented format, with a selection of vermouths, wines by the glass, and craft beers that complements the food naturally.
