Bar del Corso In Calimera

17/08/2025: We had dinner on the night of Ferragosto. We were very satisfied. The staff was very kind and offered excellent recommendations. The menu changes daily, even between lunch and dinner, and although it's written in dialect, the waiters explain it calmly and word for word. We ordered the zucchini flowers, and asked for them without the anchovies because my fiancée is vegetarian. They had no problem accommodating our request as they are prepared fresh. The fava bean purée and the artisanal sagne 'ncannulate with horse meat sauce were also excellent. The desserts were sublime; we had a mandarin sorbet and a dark chocolate and orange spumone, both absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the house red wine. The staff and the owner were kind and courteous. The prices are fair. They were also extremely kind when we stopped by the next morning to pick up the city guide we'd forgotten. They showed up at the restaurant early in the morning specifically to return it to us.

01/08/2025: Excellent traditional Salento cuisine, friendly staff, and a spotlessly clean place. Perhaps one of the few places in Lecce with sparkling bathrooms. Highly recommended! Oh, and you can also listen to great music (REM, Dire Straits, etc.)!
