Vico del Cuciniere In Lecce

Truly a beautiful culinary experience

The food was excellent the best meal of our trip so far and the prices were so reasonable for such gourmet delicious food. Well worth a visit.

Discovered by chance...lots of curiosity...fantastic evening! I decided to spend Valentine's evening here, only after seeing a post on social media where the Chef proposed his menu for the occasion. The restaurant is located in a quiet area on the outskirts of the historic center of Lecce, internally the restaurant is very beautiful, with the tables arranged quite far from each other... But obviously what thrilled me were the creations that the Chef gave us presented, unique flavors and creative dishes that are not at all obvious! I would definitely like to return to try much more :) Thank you also for your courtesy and welcome!!! You already feel like you're among friends!

Francesca, excellent hostess...thank you for delighting us with your dishes and your kindness for anything, we are waiting for you on our island ig aglaia_bellezza 🥰

Yesterday my partner and I had dinner at this splendid restaurant, which captivated us in every way. We received extraordinary, highly professional and warm treatment from the chef Andrea, his wife and the waiter Luca, who at all times advised us regarding the dishes and wine to choose. We ordered salmon sashimi as a starter and as a main course rooster with duck foie gras and lamb with radiccio. Everything was spectacular, an authentic explosion of flavors and textures, prepared only with fresh products from the garden and a lot of love for detail and dedication. If you want to have a unique and special culinary experience, we can only recommend this place. One of the best in Lecche! Once again, a million thanks to the team, who delighted us with an unparalleled evening.

Characteristic venue, quality cuisine and impeccable service. Everything excellent.

Thank you, Francesca and Andrea. Delicious dinner in a welcoming and relaxing environment. I hope to visit you again soon!

Elegance, quality and research. Excellent raw materials combined with refinement! Whenever possible, I always come back very willingly!

Ho vissuto a Lecce tanti anni, l’ho abbandonata da tanti anni. È molto cambiata, non esprimo giudizi. Quando vado in un ristorante leccese finisce quasi sempre a mazzate. Molti locali sono pretenziosi, molti improvvisati, molti non hanno idea di quello che fanno, molti sono cari come a Parigi. E non è una battuta. Un ristorante a una stella a Parigi è facile trovarlo a prezzi più bassi degli stellati leccesi, guida Michelin alla mano. Veniamo a noi. L’amico che mi invita si sforza molto a cercare un sabato a pranzo un ristorante dove passare del tempo piacevole e mangiare bene senza che finisca a botte. Sperimentiamo questo nuovo indirizzo che nessuno aveva mai provato. Ci troviamo nei vecchi vicoli attorno alla chiesa greca, una parte di città che i miei coetanei ricordano per ben altre cose. Il locale è molto bello, ristrutturato con molto gusto e probabilmente con tanto impegno economico. Molte piccole sale in successione, negli arredi, tavoli grandi e distanziati. Servizio attento e professionale senza essere distaccato, direi al contrario piuttosto cordiale. Bel menu, che non insegue a tutti i costi i piatti tradizionali di questa terra. Buoni ingredienti, belle preparazioni, impiattamenti curati. Gradito amuse-bouche. Dessert freschi e gustosi a prezzi particolarmente bassi. Tutta la carta, in verità, offre piatti a prezzi giusti per la qualità degli ingredienti e la cura nella preparazione. Chiacchierata a fine pasto con chef e maîtresse di sala. Non solo non ho litigato, ma direi che sono rimasto proprio contento. Non sarò un cliente fisso, vivo tanto lontano, ma sono sicuro che ci rivedremo. Buona fortuna, e grazie.

Classy place on the north end of old town. Not your run of the mill Puglian dishes. Elegant surroundings, dishes presented in a tasteful, attractive way. Helpful, efficient staff. Some English. Nice wine list. We started with a potato and mushroom dish that we shared, moved on to a primi of Fettecini with cream sauce and black truffles, which we also shared. Wife had sea bream secundi which came smothered in carmelized onions and with a salad. I had a pork loin dish in a delightful sauce, accompianied by spinach and a “savory” Apple strudel. Her dessert was a chocolate lava cake with mango sauce and mine was sweetend Ricotta cheese (like the inside of a cannoli) with chocolate chips and persimmon sauce Overall a wonderful experience.
