IL VICO DEL GUSTO In Lecce

Nice and welcoming place. Excellent food, great attention to the customer. Friendly staff. We will definitely return when we are in the area again.

Place recommended by a local friend. Elegant and refined environment. Excellent food! We had a seafood salad as a starter and then a calamarata with monkfish and spaghetti with red prawns. Everything really delicious. Fair prices for the location. Only flaw, service a little cold. Given the warmth we felt from the people of Salento, we expected a different welcome.

Really friendly staff and excellent quality of food, attention to service. I recommend the appetizer tasting

Excellent restaurant. I ate an amberjack tartare which is one of the best I've ever tried. Honest prices. The outdoor tables are a bit too much on the street.

Great food and service, we really enjoyed our experience. We would highly recommend if you are in the area!

Good food and bad hospitality marked our much anticipated visit here. We had booked our table several weeks earlier. But when we arrived a rather annoyed looking girl wanted to seat us on the outside sidewalk. This is not a quaint side street, but a main road full of traffic and diesel fumes! Finally an older gentleman gave us a table indoors, and there were several empty tables. As soon as we were seated, they turned off the A/C unit above us and the restaurant rapidly heated up. This was on June 30th - weather service had issued an Extremely high temperature warning ‼️ Several other patrons had hand held fans, and repeated requests did not get the A/C turned on. The other big negative was being served good wine in cheap glasses - please consider buying better glassware. No excuse in Italy for using ugly, heavy wine glasses in a nice restaurant. Zafferano makes some excellent ones. Food and wine were great and we managed to survive the sweltering heat. Things could have been so much better and that makes it disappointing.

Disappointing. Dining for our last evening outside on the street with the cars passing by, without reservation, we expect a cuisine rich in taste and elaborate when we read the menu and see the rather elegant setting. This is not the case, we don't smell the lime supposed to season the cuttlefish tagliatelle, the pearls of squid ink are non-existent and not even on the side for the intolerant, we just have cuttlefish with glazed peas that are too salty to eat. my taste. The traditional pasta dishes of Lecce are ordinary and the one with monkfish really lacks generosity in the quantity of fish. We finally appreciated the breadsticks and the homemade focaccia as consolation. The value for money is not there, no commercial gesture after pointing out that ingredients were missing from the title of the recipe...The prices of the dishes are high and unjustified.

The food is very good, service could be better and I recommend sitting inside, as the outside tables are in front of a busy car street.

Eine Empfehlung. Schönes Lokal, Essen hat überzeug, freundliche und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Es war etwas laut. Es ist nicht günstig, aber Preis/Leistung stimmt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

We had an excellent dinner and wonderful experience here. The restaurant screams simple elegance, and the staff is extremely hard working, professional and helpful. The restaurant was full by 8.45 pm—about 50 - 75% locals. Everything served was perfecto.
