Li Risi In Lecce

Excellent risotto, warm service, and absolutely worth leaving the city centre for Li Risi in Lecce is a real gem. The service is genuinely kind, attentive, and welcoming, and the food is outstanding. Their risottos are truly exceptional: beautifully cooked, full of flavour, elegant, and clearly prepared with great care and skill. It is absolutely worth stepping just a little outside the historic centre to eat here. In fact, that short detour is part of what makes the experience feel special: you leave the busiest streets behind and arrive somewhere that feels more focused, more relaxed, and more about the quality of the meal. And what a meal !! The wine selection is also excellent, with a very good cellar and well-chosen labels that pair beautifully with the food. For anyone who loves risotto, good wine, and sincere hospitality, Li Risi is definitely a place to visit in Lecce. Highly recommended.

We had dinner for three (two adults and a child). We ordered three risottos, two glasses of rosé, a dessert, and water. The risottos were too salty and below expectations. The tiramisu (salted caramel): average, but you couldn't taste the caramel at all. The staff was very friendly. The big question is: would you go back? Answer: No!

The food is very delicate on the palate; you could eat it endlessly without ever feeling heavy. Including the tiramisu, which, unfortunately, we forgot to photograph in our haste. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere welcoming!

Welcoming place, friendly and attentive staff Super risotto Delicious battered sage Crispy tomino cheese, what can I say? 🎆 Delicious duck breast Normal prices If you want to spend a quiet evening and try something different, I recommend it.

The care and attention to detail in every dish is evident and evident. We recommend this rare place for anyone who wants rice made with quality ingredients. The staff is professional and friendly. The rice with citrus and shrimp is the best I've ever had. We'll be back soon.

Beautiful experience. Excellent food and service! We'll definitely be back 🫶🏻

A welcoming restaurant with a beautiful open kitchen. The risottos are the best I've ever had in a restaurant, paired with excellent wines, and Diletta is truly kind. We can't wait to return.

An intimate and well-kept restaurant. Attentive and friendly service. Truly exceptional food; we opted for the tasting menu: - Glimpses of flavor: tomino cheese, zucchini blossom with anchovy, and mozzarella, both delicious. - Tasting of three risottos: honeyed chestnuts with speck and mascarpone ice cream, turnip greens with sausage and caciocavallo cheese, Franciacorta with citrus zest, and shrimp carpaccio (the latter was exceptional). - Desserts: salted caramel tiramisu (I'm a tiramisu lover, among the best I've ever had) and lemon and basil ice cream (artisanal, incredible basil, delicious). The choice to focus on risottos is innovative; gluten-free options are also available. The chef is truly talented. High-quality products, fair prices. For two, with two glasses of wine, €75 total. I absolutely recommend it, a new favorite.
