La Scarpetta Hostaria is a true guarantee. High-quality ingredients, carefully prepared dishes, and authentic flavors: everything was delicious, from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with great courtesy and attention to detail. Special thanks to Giordano, the owner, who gave us excellent advice on our choice of dishes, from appetizers to dessert, making us feel truly pampered. We'll definitely be back!

We enjoyed a mixed raw fish appetizer shared by two, a perfect choice considering the generous main course: a fantastic fish soup with croutons, paired with a local white Chardonnay—an absolutely delicious choice! The friendly and welcoming staff will make you feel right at home. Plus: the restaurant is dog-friendly!
A must-try if you're in Lecce!

A dear friend recommended this place to us, and it truly met all our expectations: fresh, top-quality fish and generous portions. The staff was incredibly kind and offered us a variety of choices, including desserts, despite my food intolerances. They were friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back.

The food is good quality and the atmosphere is quiet. The value for money is fair. I don't think it's easy to eat so well in Lecce and the surrounding area.

The pistachio pasta changed my life. I was here 3 months ago and I still dream of this pasta.

We dined at Scarpetta Hostaria for the first time, and I can say without hesitation that it was one of the most pleasant dining experiences I've had in Lecce. The restaurant is elegant but never formal, with attention to detail and a welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease.
One of the aspects that struck me most was the attention to gluten-free options: all the dishes served were completely gluten-free, from appetizers to main courses, without any restrictions. A truly rare plus, especially with dishes of this caliber. This was one of the few times I've even been served gluten-free bread so I could enjoy the house-made olive oil: a simple gesture that demonstrates care and sensitivity towards those with specific dietary needs.
We followed the house's recommendations for warm dishes, a selection of appetizers that proved excellent: very fresh fish, light and crispy fried foods, and crisp, never overpowering flavors. The red snapper as a main course was the true star of the evening: perfectly cooked, soft and flavorful, with balanced garnishes. A dish alone is worth the visit.
The service is impeccable: attentive, knowledgeable staff, always present but never intrusive. Each course is carefully explained, enhancing the experience and conveying all the passion behind the kitchen's work.
The value for money is absolutely right considering the quality of the ingredients, the skill behind the dishes, and the overall experience.
It's one of those places that leaves a lasting impression and makes you want to return, and in our case, we certainly will.
A restaurant that combines tradition, flavor, and customer service, even when it comes to gluten-free options, without compromising on quality.
Highly recommended for those seeking a high-quality, authentic dinner with attention to every detail.

The first time I came to La Scarpetta was for a dinner with a partner, and it was one of those evenings that stay in your heart.
Since then, La Scarpetta Hostaria has become a go-to: I always gladly return, whether with friends, family, or as a couple, because every time I find the same warm, refined, and sincere atmosphere. It's a confirmation that never disappoints.
As soon as you walk through the door, you're welcomed by the elegant, bright, and warm dining room, and from there, the heart of the restaurant opens up: the outdoor garden, bathed in warm lights. And it's not uncommon for a few cats scampering between the tables, adding an extra smile to the evening, making everything even more authentic and homely.
Special praise goes to maître Giordano, with his smiling eyes and natural kindness that makes every guest special. Here, you're not just a customer; you're truly pampered from start to finish.
And then the cuisine, it's a true spectacle: every dish is carefully crafted, balanced, and bursting with flavor. As for personal taste, the real star for me remains the sea urchin linguine... intense, creamy, perfect: every time it's available, I order it, knowing I couldn't have made a better choice. It's never a given to bring out the best in these flavors, and Scarpetta does it admirably.
For me, Scarpetta Hostaria isn't just a restaurant, it's a place where memories are made: I always return here with pleasure, and every time I leave with my heart (as well as my stomach) full of satisfaction.

Il locale è situato nel centro storico di Lecce, ma grazie all' atmosfera elegante e accogliente racchiusa all'interno del loro cortile, sembra di trovarsi in un mondo a sé.
Le portate sono fatte con la massima attenzione, rispettando le materie prime del loro orto e l'abbinamento di ogni preparazione in modo da esaltarne gli alimenti.
Da non dimenticare il personale estremamente cordiale e disponibile che ci ha servito, in particolare modo la signora Maria che ci ha condiviso gli ideali dello chef!
Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo e professionalità nel loro lavoro.
Consigliatissimo!!
