Porto Cesareo Salento
We open with coffee, aperitivo at sunset, we close with cocktails, always with the sea in front.
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.
Every day, 7–14 and 19–3


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


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


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


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