A beautiful and charming location with a terrace.
The two fish-based entrees we tried were delicious.
A slightly unpleasant episode: we ordered orecchiette with meatballs in tomato sauce, but they arrived without meatballs. The waitress said that so as not to take away our dishes (there were two), they were already reheating the meatballs and would then add them to the orecchiette. The problem was that they arrived at least 7-10 minutes later and the pasta had cooled, so much so that at that point they left the meatballs and took the pasta away to reheat it as well, and it took just as long. If they had taken the dishes away from the beginning, we wouldn't have waited more than 20 minutes and we would all have eaten together.
The waitress who took our order came over to apologize, saying she thought we wanted plain orecchiette with tomato sauce since that was also on the menu, but after checking again both that evening when we were told this and now as I'm writing this review, there are no plain orecchiette with tomato sauce on the menu! And in any case, if two similar dishes are listed on a menu, when in doubt, ask for confirmation of which one you actually ordered.
We appreciated that we weren't charged for the full dish on the bill, but for "orecchiette al sugo" (which they do list on the bill but doesn't appear on the menu).
We hope for a better second visit.

Very good food, excellent service, and always very friendly.
We're from Austria, but we've been living in Lecce for a year and try to eat here at least once a month. So far, everything has always been perfect. I recommend it, even with children.

An almost perfect evening!
The location is charming and well-kept, perfect for a dinner for two or with friends.
We sampled several seafood specialties and were won over by the excellent quality of the ingredients and the mastery with which the dishes were prepared.
The service was impeccable: attentive, professional, and always discreet. Everything was running smoothly, creating a truly pleasant and intimate atmosphere.
Unfortunately, halfway through the evening, the atmosphere was ruined. The volume of the game they were showing was turned up so high that it drowned out our voices, transforming the restaurant into a kind of sports pub or sandwich shop.
A real shame, because it ruined the charm and intimacy of the place.
If you're looking for a high-end culinary experience, this is undoubtedly the place to be.
However, if you're hoping for a quiet, romantic evening, I recommend asking if they're showing any sporting events, so you don't experience the same disappointment.

We had dinner on the very characteristic terrace. The food was excellent and well-prepared, but the prices were too high. I spent a lot and left on an empty stomach. 🤷♀️ The staff was very kind and helpful.

We went for dinner with friends and were really pleased. The food was delicious, the wait time was reasonable, and above all, the view was wonderful over Porta Napoli. We'll definitely be back.

A seafood restaurant in the center of Lecce, opposite Porta Napoli. The ground floor features a more casual interior and a more elegantly decorated terrace with a wonderful view of the gate. I found the dishes excellent and the staff highly professional.

Ristorante semplice con menù di pesce molto ricco. Piatti di crudo con grande scelta sia di pesce che di frutti di mare freschissimi.
Anche gli antipasti caldi che ho provato sono ottimi. Primi e secondi molto vari.
Buona scelta di vini. Personale gentile e disponibile.
Prezzi ottimi.
Da provare

Non è la prima volta che visito questo locale, mi piace molto. Informale e cibo squisito, forse avrei apprezzato una scelta più vasta di primi di mare, ma quello che hanno è ottimo. Il prezzo è leggermente più alto della media, ma le porzioni sono abbondanti e soprattutto buonissime, le singole porzioni di antipasti vanno benissimo per due persone. Personale gentilissimo e solare, consiglio assolutamente.
