I've been to Nautilus Garden and I have to say it was a truly wonderful experience. The place is well-kept, with a very pleasant garden that creates a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for both a quiet dinner and a more special evening. The winter fireplace is fantastic.
The food was excellent; you can taste the quality of the ingredients, and the dishes are well-made, without being too "complicated." The portions were just right and the flavors were truly satisfying, especially the fish.
I also liked the service: the staff was kind, helpful, and never intrusive. You can tell they care about their customers.
Overall, it's one of those places you'll want to return to, whether to eat well or just relax. Recommended 👍

I had the pleasure of dining at the Nautilus Restaurant last night, and I must say it was a positive experience. There were three of us, and as soon as I walked in, I was struck
by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of a fireplace in the center of the room. I ordered fish both as a starter and as a main course, and I must say it was delicious.
The service was impeccable, with attentive and helpful staff.
P.S.: Among the various desserts, I decided to try the Neapolitan pastiera. What can I say... A delight!
If you find yourself in Lecce, stop by the Nautilus Restaurant. Highly recommended.

Terrible experience. Excellent food.
The wait staff was appropriate.
The kitchen manager was truly rude and inappropriate.
We pointed out an anomaly in the dish (an ingredient wasn't on the menu) and she literally rudely invited us to go eat "baked pasta" elsewhere.
(Why baked pasta, we didn't understand 🤔).
All this despite the fact that none of the diners were lacking in politeness or courtesy.
I remembered this restaurant as one of the best in town, what a shame...

Unfortunately, my experience at this restaurant wasn't very positive. We ordered a first course, the wrong calamarata, but when I started eating, I realized it was full of capers, which I absolutely don't eat and which weren't listed on the menu. Every ingredient in a dish must be listed on the menu. However, the restaurant is very elegant and welcoming.

We went for dinner to celebrate a birthday, and the food was excellent. There was a good variety of fish, pasta, and wines. The service was formal but very good, and the atmosphere was lovely. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food and service.

Beautiful place, very rich and welcoming. It was wonderful to walk in and find the fireplace lit, just like home. The food was also excellent, with a great variety.

A truly enjoyable lunch.
The appetizers were thoughtful and well-balanced, featuring quality ingredients and elegant, yet unobtrusive presentation.
The first courses were very good: perfectly cooked pasta.
The dessert was simple and perfect, a perfect finish without weighing you down.
The service was kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was quiet and welcoming.
A place we'd happily return to.
