29/03/2025: I went to lunch with a friend of mine, after having discarded various places this one had something that immediately caught our attention. Apparently the place is small (but it seems that there is another room behind it) and welcoming, it feels like being at home, note in favor of the kindness, helpfulness and cheerfulness of the staff. As soon as the order was taken (carbonara and amatriciana), the Roman chef, I believe also the owner, approached our table and asked us if we had particular needs regarding the ingredients or could we rely on him. He started talking to us in a hypnotic way about the dish, describing the preparation and the ingredients. The more he said, the more our mouths watered. We entrusted ourselves to him and from the kitchen counter he described the steps of the recipe, making me look out and showing me part of the preparation (I want to point out that at that moment the place was not crowded, so it was certainly possible to receive this attention for this reason, certainly we would not have expected it with more customers in the room). The dishes were served at the table and from the first taste I almost felt sorry to continue eating so as not to finish the dish and make this culinary experience last as long as possible! Let's get to the prices, I found the entire menu slightly below the average of the rest of the places in Lecce, and honestly I ate much better here compared to other places with higher prices. I will definitely be back bringing more people!
