300Mila

Lecce, Italy

300Mila, on Via 47° Reggimento Fanteria, has been part of Lecce since 2006, and it refuses a single label: it is a café, pastry shop, restaurant and cocktail bar in one, with a shop and a workshop besides. Mornings bring coffee, its tartlets are billed as the sweetest part of the day, and evenings are about lights, detail and elegance. The space runs to a thousand square meters, with elegant furnishings, a Hopper painting as backdrop, vertical gardens and glittering cases holding thousands of wines, sparkling wines and spirits, from gin and rum to whisky, cognac and vodka, alongside a collection of cocktail shakers. Sustainable, inclusive and visionary has always been the philosophy of its patron, Davide De Matteis.
