Big Ben In Spongano

17/07/2026: Going to visit a friend in Lecce, he took me to this restaurant. I don't know whether to call it a trattoria or something else. However, the welcome was certainly nothing to complain about. Mr. Sabino welcomed us with great empathy and joy. Let's start with the location: a little dated, small, and a lot of old junk thrown here and there, which honestly I don't know how long it can please people. I mean, there are some objects, but thrown here and there, and that's another thing. Let's move on to the food: at least for my taste, nothing that could have warmed my heart. The portions of some dishes were a little meager, but not meager in price. In fact, for the cost of some dishes, I would have expected something more generous. My final opinion: if this place has won 4 restaurants, I imagine that after the victory, it got a big head and lowered its quality... I don't want to say that the quality was poor... But certainly, as I reiterated, it didn't leave an impression on me. I paid for 5 appetizers, 3 first courses, and 3 second courses with 3; bottles of water €210 ... I would have expected at least at the end, WOULD YOU LIKE A COFFEE? And I repeat, this is my opinion, maybe someone else will like all this...
