La Locanda del Ballerino In Lecce

A pleasant surprise awaited us at this place, which is clearly reminiscent of the city of Lecce with its characteristic stonework. Furthermore, the meals were excellent, as was the welcome.

It's very good. The service is friendly, the menu is varied, and the food is just right.

Last night we had dinner at this inn in the heart of Lecce, and it was a truly special discovery. We started with an appetizer of the freshest cured meats and cheeses, all excellent quality and authentic in flavor. The care taken in selecting the ingredients was immediately apparent. We continued with three first courses, all featuring fresh homemade pasta: I chose beetroot gnocchi with provola fondue and a truly delicious crunchy touch, balanced and unique. My son had tagliatelle with pecorino cream and yellow datterini tomatoes, creamy and flavorful to perfection. My husband, on the other hand, opted for a great traditional classic, tria and chickpeas, impeccably prepared. To conclude, the "frisamisù": a reinterpretation of tiramisu with friselle... simply fantastic! Delicate cream and surprising flavor, truly worth trying. Perfect service: attentive, friendly, and never intrusive. We also really appreciated the fact that the chef personally came to the table to satisfy my curiosity about an ingredient—a gesture that demonstrates passion and attention to the customer. Prices are reasonable, absolutely in line with the quality offered. A place we will definitely return to and that I recommend to anyone looking for an authentic and tasty experience in Lecce.

Very nice staff. The dishes were very diverse: some really not tasty, others actually were. They opted for unusual combinations, but that wasn't always the best choice.

The quality of the food was excellent, the service was always there but never intrusive, a pleasant discovery, I will return.

Don't hesitate to go despite the roadworks. We had a very good meal. The ravioli were delicious and the chickpea fettuccine was excellent.

Welcoming and clean place, very professional staff and above all the food is excellent 👍 I recommend trying it.

We were almost the only people here because the road outside had been dug up. We had a charming reception from the very friendly staff and an absolutely delicious meal.

Characteristic place, exquisite food and very courteous staff.

Spectacular dinner, updated classic recipes... Very pleasant and attentive service
