Mezzo Quinto In Lecce

I'm sorry to say this was my most disappointing meal after a month in Italy. I had high hopes based on the reviews, but the food was below mediocre. I am a "foodie" and rarely leave food uneaten. But half of my meal went into the trashcan. I ordered two things, the first was meatballs in tomato sauce. They were supposedly made from beef and pork, but tasted like the mushy mystery meat on a McDonald's hamburger. Also, they weren't hot. I also ordered the plate of vegetables with burrata. The vegetables were cooked beyond recognition to the point they were soft and mushy. And one of them had a taste so bitter, I couldn't eat it. I do have to say, though, the ball of burrata in the center of the vegetable plate was good. Nothing else.

It's definitely worth stopping by for these meatballs in tomato sauce! Excellent!

A delight <3 we were welcomed very well, served with a spontaneous, family-like and truly pleasant attitude, the food was perfect especially the tartare xx

Their Paninis were delicious, I ate the Polpette alla Genovese and Parmigiana, both very tasty.

The vegetarian parmigiana was excellent, I highly recommend it! However, I found the portion size to be insufficient.

Italian fast food: order and eat at small tables outside on the street.

Best meatballs I've ever eaten!!!

Excellent place! The food is homemade and of superb quality! The vegetarian parmigiana was divine, and the pasta con polpete al sugo was a real treat! Great value for money! Go without hesitation! It's a very casual spot, but there are a few tables available to sit down 👍! A fantastic place in the historic center of Lecce!

We had a delicious meal at Mezzo Quinto in Lecce. The Parmigiana, pasta pomodoro, and lasagna were all incredibly flavorful. The restaurant is situated in a beautiful, atmospheric spot in a cozy alley, which makes the experience extra special. Additionally, the owner was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!
