La Locanda del Ballerino In Lecce

A relaxed atmosphere and exceptional dishes. Ravioli with amberjack ragù, impeccable service, and the flavors are evidently all fresh and freshly cooked. Truly, congratulations!

Amidst the beautiful alleys of Lecce's historic center, just steps from Porta Napoli, we had an interesting culinary experience at "Locanda del Ballerino." The interiors, in Lecce stone, are very charming, with a touch of modern design that never hurts. The dishes are classic Salento dishes, some of which have been reinterpreted with a modern twist by the chef. The portions are generous and a true pleasure. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The service could be improved in some areas: for example, we're not crazy about paper napkins, which we find impractical as they tend to spoil quickly. Additionally, we think they should always be served, without having to ask for them every time. They would certainly be appreciated. Good value for money. We recommend it!

Fantastic food. Brilliant, friendly efficient service with added (and much needed) Italian lessons. Delicious wine choice from our waitress.

Excellent cuisine, congratulations

Very good restaurant serving authentic Puglian cuisine, quality service. A wonderful experience, we will definitely return.

Very nice staff, delicious steak, nice wine and atmosphere. Having AC indoor was a big plus for us. Only firamisu (maybe wrong spelling) desert was lack of taste.

We found this place by chance, without reading reviews, and I must say we were pleasantly surprised by the stone-built restaurant, the service, accompanied by suggestions and smiles, and the traditional yet untouristy cuisine, featuring fresh fish, quality ingredients, and the very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

A charming, pleasant atmosphere created in an old house Quick service with some minor coordination flaws Exquisite food with generous portions The house wine is also excellent Good value for money Worth returning

Très bonne cuisine locale avec un twist original. Particulièrement la dégustation pour deux en entrée était fantastique, ainsi que le tiramisu. Le site est très joli (cave voûtée) et l’accueil vraiment sympathique!

Location molto carina, personale accogliente. Sono stato con la mia famiglia e abbiamo consumato degli antipastini fritti (abbastanza buoni) e con 5 euro 1 (una) patata di medie dimensioni tagliata a fettine e fritta, servita in una terrina da 8 cm di diametro. Ho ordinato un piatto "della tradizione" che ho contestato, (ho fornito una spiegazione tecnica) alla cameriera che ha accettato la lamentela. Il piatto in questione è "Ciciri e Tria". Cosa non andava? Il piatto è arrivato quasi freddo, la tipologia di pasta erA totalmente cruda e non legata con il brodo di ceci che rimaneva sul fondo del piatto esclusivamente come brodo tiepido. Nel piatto c'erano anche 5/6 pezzi della stessa pasta, però fritta (unico elemento più caldo). Cosa ho mangiato? Tre elementi distinti che non mi hanno soddisfatto. Mia moglie ha consumato delle semplici orecchiette con cime di rapa anche queste forse rivisitate non sono state di gradimento. Buonissima la carne di cavallo al sugo discretq la Carbonara.
