A Locanda Tù Marchese

In our home, "A Locanda tù Marchese", breakfast is the main moment for guests to immerse themselves in scents and traditions. During the winter, breakfast is served in the underground oil mill, in the summer on the terrace, from 8 a. m to 11 p. m. The skilled hands of my mother Luisa prepare what is offered in the buffet breakfast, on a traditional way and not only: among the many sweet delicacies served, the Pasticciotto is certainly not lacking. Pasticciotto is a shortcrust pastry of ancient origin, which traditionally contains custard cream, however there are many variations. Fruttone, a sweet from Salento made of shortcrust pastry, is filled with jam and almond paste and covered with chocolate. On the breakfast table of "A Locanda tù Marchese" guests will also find Mustazzoli, almond biscuits with chocolate icing and rustic Pastarelle, breakfast biscuits that mothers from Salento prepared to accompany the big cups of milk. Fresh and canned fruit, hot drinks, juices and fruit juices, rusks, butter, cereals, homemade jams, honey, yogurt, but also bread, eggs, cheeses and cold cuts complete the breakfast buffet for our guests.
