Horus In Otranto

24/02/2026: I tried three restaurants in Lecce, and this one, though not in the old town, was the most satisfying and affordable. Although it was all home-style cooking, every dish was delicious. The bread served was similar to pizza crust, which became sweeter and sweeter with each chew. The portions were so large that I had to skip the appetizers. Highly recommended!

02/02/2026: Trattoria 2.0, behind a slightly vintage and not overly Salento-inspired facade (once you sit inside, you'll realize you could be anywhere) lies a cuisine featuring traditional and less local dishes, all sharing a masterful pursuit of flavor and a sense of authenticity. The plating is simple but pleasing, and the portions are generous. The staff, from the owner (a truly charming person with international experience and a subtly eclectic taste who explains a lot about the restaurant and the menu) to the waitress, were extremely kind, a watchful yet discreet presence that perfectly complemented our dinner. The owner even stopped to play with the two children at the table on a couple of occasions, engaging them with animal drawings and amusing jokes. The quality/price ratio was also excellent; we dined for six (4 adults and 2 children) for a total of €132, including two 0.66 Morettis, four desserts, and two whiskies; So, without too many indulgences, you can easily eat and be satisfied for €25-30 per person. In conclusion, for the quality, prices, and kindness of the staff, I would recommend this place.
