Gusti Proibiti In Lecce

We had dinner at this restaurant. Excellent food, friendly and helpful owner and wait staff, dog-friendly... highly recommended. We'll definitely be back.

Excellent restaurant. The owner is truly friendly, kind, and helpful, with impeccable service. The food is truly tasty, with a wide range of traditional dishes. I also recommend the dessert; the lactose- and gluten-free tiramisu is delicious.

We really enjoyed our dining experience here. The food was excellent. The owner and waitress were so kind, suggesting delicious wine with our meal, serving us some hors d'oeuvres as a welcome gesture, and offering coffee and/or limoncello after our meal. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.

Warning: Also perfect for celiacs!!! Honestly, this is the best restaurant we ate at in Lecce. An exceptional place, perfect service, kind and attentive, very generous with extra tastings and liqueurs. The dishes were so carefully prepared, so tasty without being overly greasy, everything was so fresh and inviting. For us, it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Federico!!!

Everything was so good! The food, the service. 100% recommended. We went to another restaurant before and they kicked us out because of the time. We were very well received here. Thank you.

Fantastic restaurant in Lecce. Was there tonight with my sweetheart. Was lucky and got a table without having reserved on a busy Saturday night. Very nice and skilled host who created a good atmosphere for all the guests. Two very young employees were also good and very nice. Mussels for starters and a delicious pasta dish with shrimp and crayfish. And a lovely tiramisu for dessert. Good wine and delicious beer. A very atmospheric evening as the end of a week's cycling trip in Puglia. The restaurant is highly recommended. A great experience.

The food- UNREAL! We loved everything we ordered. I am celiac and was able to have gluten free pasta, tiramisu and a pistachio dessert. My husband loved his regular ragu as well. The owner of this place makes you feel at home and so welcomed. And local aperitif? Need I say more??

Excellent Quality and Hospitality Authentic dishes made with high-quality local ingredients, from the Cutrofiano olive oil used in the olive rolls baked directly in the restaurant to the Amaro Salento, winner of the 2020 World Liqueur Award. Equally impressive is the "sautéed vegetables" with Salento paparine, whose delicate flavor accompanies the richer main courses. We didn't order wine or dessert, but we're sure we wouldn't have gone wrong. The selection would have been excellent anyway. The restaurant is welcoming and the staff friendly. The owner is extremely friendly and attentive, as are his entire team, including the chef, who, in quiet moments, manages to share details about the selected products and the various preparations with guests. We were impressed by the love for the land, the passion for their work, and the desire to provide outstanding quality and excellent service. Based on the recommendation we received, we highly recommend the restaurant.

Excellent welcome. Good quality dishes.

Loved the fava bean puree. My spaghetti was too al dente for me, so my suggestion is to clarify beforehand how you like your pasta. Tiramisu was delicious and so were the croquettes and lemoncello on the house.
