The story Leverano and the sea

La Nina was born in the intimacy of Leverano, among lanes of warm stone, living flours and cocktails poured without hurry.

To Porto Cesareo we brought the same gestures, our own hands and the soul of the bar.

The breath of the wind, the salt on your skin and the night. The sea made this place home.

The old town of Leverano and the sea of Porto Cesareo

Every day · 7–14 · 19–3 · breakfast, aperitivo and cocktails

Every day, 7–14 and 19–3

The day

  1. Cappuccino and pasticciotto on the table, in the morning

    Risveglio

    Warm pasticciotto, iced espresso and the calm of the harbour in the morning.

  2. Freshly served pinsa on the table, with the sea behind

    Midday Breeze

    Salt on your skin and sand under your feet: a cool, light break in the shade.

  3. Two spritz and something to nibble, with the sea in the background

    Golden Hours

    The sky fades over the harbour, the evening breeze rises and the aperitivo ritual begins.

  4. A hand holding a cocktail against the light, in the evening

    Nightfall Mixology

    Scent of citrus and salt: soft lights on the warm stone, while the shaker keeps time with the Ionian breathing in the dark.
