Fresh, toasted panini are a joy all over Italy. But the greatest of them all (well, in my humble opinion) are those made with the puccia, a type of round bread roll made in Puglia. You don't see toasted pucce everywhere, but it's worth sampling them when you do.
Ostuni seemed a bit dead on the restaurant front at lunchtime when we visited in early July. We ended up heading towards the only places that looked to be open, a handful of bars in Piazza Libertà, and were pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches were all hand-made to order, not pre-filled, and priced at around a very reasonable EUR 4. There was a selection of combinations, healthy and not-so-healthy fillings, with varieties named after the seasons.
Piazza Libertà itself is a nice spot to have lunch with an attractive old town council building running down one side.
