Duo Ristorante In Lecce

Premise: this review takes into consideration the normal standards for a restaurant recommended by the Micheline guide. Starting from the environment, we would like to specify that although it was well looked after, we were expecting something more "intimate" or in any case reserved: a slightly awkward entrance, very close tables and despite the fact that we were a couple they set us up side by side and not in front. The bathroom is also very small. As for the menu, which is also not paper but only digital, we recommend the à la carte menu. Overall good and well-prepared dishes, with affordable prices that compensate for the various shortcomings compared to the standards. Service, very warm and friendly, different from the usual service you usually expect.

We had an unforgettable and an amazing dining experience at Duo! Hubby and I opted for the 8-course tasting menu, we placed our trust completely in the chef, having no idea what would come next, and it was the best decision we made. You do get the choice to order Ala Carte though. Each course was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Such creativity and attention to detail were truly impressive. They were very respectful of dietary issues as well. The service was equally top-notch—attentive, but never intrusive. What stood out the most was the personal touch: the chef came out to greet each table, which made the night feel even more special. The ambiance is minimalist, but it complements the focus on the food perfectly. If you're looking for a culinary experience that will blow you away, I highly recommend dining here. This is more than just a meal; it's a work of art. What an evening!

Exceptional. At the height of a Michelin star.

I’m a vegetarian trying the tasting menu. Almost half of them were tailor-made vegetarian special dishes, incredibly delicious.

Terrible service and waiting times. We remained at the table for about 20 minutes without water and without bread. To get the wine we waited 35 minutes and the temperature wasn't even right. All very slow service. The starters were nice but overall the mains were far below expectations.

We had high expectations as the restaurant is on the Michelin guide, but the food was not outstanding. Appetizers were great and very delicious. It went downhill for us from there. Service was great, but it all seemed like everyone was trying too hard to impress. It seemed a little pretentious. We can’t say anything bad about the food, it just wasn’t our cup of tea. We also waited 30-40min for the first main course with all the other tables. Everyone seemed nice though. 3/5

It deserves more than a mention in the Michelin guide. An incredible experience! We tried the sea green tasting, one dish after another, the tastes and combinations surprised and amazed us. Special mention to the oyster ice cream (I would like to have it in Milan to come back a thousand times!), to the almond and sea urchin sorbet, and to the final dessert Mare mio non ti famiglia. Excellent service, extremely courteous staff, very nice typical Lecce location. Compliments to the chef!

Excellent ! We had a great time. Everything was impeccable, whether it was the service or the dishes. We recommend! 🇫🇷

Questo ristorante è un menzionato della guida Michelin, non ha nessuna stella ma dovrebbe averla, il cuoco sarà fatto suo due antipasti e due primi eccellenti ci torneremo sicuramente

Piacevole esperienza a Lecce. Personale cordiale, piatti ricercati a volte anche un pochino sopra le righe. Risulta comunque evidente la sperimentazione con risultati soddisfacenti al palato. Lo chef molto cordiale, di grande esperienza insomma una bella persona.
