Osteria Il Poeta Contadino In Lecce

Needs to get their kitchen and customer service in order… - Zucchini flowers lacked flavour - Poplette came out raw (filled with uncooked dough) - they remade the dish, but good customer service would have also comped it off our bill. I couldn’t eat anymore of it when it came back anyway after being put off from the raw dough - Ciceria e Tria was floury and not cooked well (which was so disappointing as this was the local dish I was craving on our last night in Lecce!) - House white wine had an odd taste - Wild Boar Parpadelle was the only dish that had good flavour and seemed to be cooked right Finally, cherry on top of a very average meal, we got home and looked at our bill and realized they charged us coperto (cover charge) for our 1 year old!!!!! In our 8 days in Italy so far, we have never been charged for her. She ate one piece of bread and two bites of pasta!!!!! The ambiance is lovely, but the quality and consistency of food and service desperately needs to be improved Sad this was our last meal in Lecce and feeling burnt by paying 70+ euro for 2 adults and 1 baby for such a poor meal

Fantastic evening meal with great service and delicious home cooked food.

Excellent food, excellent local red wine...

Warm welcome, we were very well received and advised. The staff even speaks French Plate of wild boar, atypical but very good Good establishment to recommend

Great place, super nice and very welcoming, the waitresses listen to our desires and give good advice on specialties! I recommend !

Very good place, right in the center but away from the hustle and bustle of certain streets of Lecce. Nice decoration, friendly and attentive staff. We had not booked but they looked for a way to welcome us and serve us. Abundant and good quality food. Delicious Burrata Pasta!

Cute restaurant with excellent service. Recommended for families. The waitress gave good advice and speaks French.

Very pleasant 0steria, good atmosphere, friendly setting. Zucchini flower fritters stuffed with ricotta: a real delight. Nothing to complain about either the quantities, the quality of the dishes, or the friendly service. Only downside: the pitcher of wine from the house to be avoided, don't forget to ask for the wine list which was not offered to us.

Osteria trovata per caso, siamo entrati incuriositi dal locale e dal menu. Il cibo scelto si è rivelato buonissimo, preparato con ottimi ingredienti e servito con cura. Il locale è un po' piccolo, ma questo fa parte delle sue peculiarità in quanto è localizzato in un edificio in pieno centro storico. La signora che ci ha accolto è stata estremamente gentile e disponibile, così come il resto dello staff. Prezzi un po' troppo alti, anche se c'è da tener presente la posizione centralissima e caratteristica del locale, oltre che la qualità del cibo.

Devo dire che la pasta all'orzo con zafferano è stata veramente di mio gusto. Posto carino anche se gli spazi sono un pò stretti. Comunque bella esperienza.
