In the summer of 1999 the staff of Natale decided to opened their first store in the old city of Lecce.

Just off Piazza Sant’Oronzo, they serve gelato al pasticciotto, an ode to the typical leccese sweet, rich in vanilla and fortified by egg yolks with big chunks of shortbread crust folded in.

As the region's premier gelato parlor, the shop draws local cognoscenti and distant pilgrims to taste favors ranging from the conventional (chocolate, coffee, pistachio) to the creative (panacotta, Mille-feuille) to the kooky (a fiery mix of chocolate and red chile pepper)

The establishment is rated number 1 in the desserts category on Tripadvisor as of the posting of this waymark.

Lonely Planet calls it "Lecce's best ice-cream parlour".
