Nautilus Garden In Lecce

Service was quite cold might have been because we didn’t speak much Italian but we were trying servers seemed quite frustrated with us but we tried. We ordered a few dishes the stars were the baked mussels 10/10! And the Irish beef with Bree and potatoes was excellent the cook on the steak was perfect and we enjoyed both dishes thoroughly. We also had the lobster pasta dish which was good but the lobster wasn’t cracked and didn’t provide any utensils to get into the legs and claws so was quite difficult to eat.

We had a lovely girl’s night dinner here, so here is a breakdown of how it went: We were greeted promptly and seated at a table in their whimsical garden. There is an extensive wine list, we opted for a sparkling rosé which was just perfect for a warm evening. For starters we shared the octopus alla Luciana - it was cooked to perfection : Tender, flavourful, and crispy in the right places. The chef is very creative with her flavours but it’s not overpowering at all. We also shared the cozze gratinate: very interesting twist on the classic, using smoked provolone cheese. Delicious ! I had the calamarata with swordfish and tuna, basil, tomatoes and pangrattato - now I’m not sure what these comments saying the fish isn’t fresh come from - the fish was VERY fresh, and I live here so I know the difference. The pasta was perfectly cooked, 10/10. My girlfriends had the lamb, which was very good and served with cherries, and the Ombrina fish in limoncello butter sauce - divine. I know it sounds weird but the flavours are delicate and very well balanced. We didn’t get dessert because we met up with other friends after, but were offered some shortbread cookies on the house. Thank you to the staff for this unforgettable experience ! I will be back.

Wonderful place, we went in the beautiful outdoor garden in the summer. The place is meticulously maintained, the staff are exquisite, very welcoming and friendly... exceptional food, especially the gnocchi with Parma ham, pistachios, and pecorino romano. Highly recommended!!! We'll be back from Bologna with a vengeance!

Quiet atmosphere, delicious food, excellent service. If you're looking for a quiet dinner, you'll definitely find it here.

The wait was a bit long. It was a great experience.

Wonderful experience, we ate extraordinary cuisine, the atmosphere was nothing short of exceptional, everything was perfect.... Congratulations indeed.

Super fresh fish, delicious pairings. Not just the usual seafood dishes, but much more... the place is decorated in a shabby chic style, just the right amount of refined. I'd say it's intimate and has regular customers, very pleasant. Service isn't the fastest, but it's courteous and attentive to the diners' needs. An excellent, positive experience. We'll do it again.

Clean and well-maintained location, very friendly and helpful staff. One of the best seafood restaurants in the area, highly recommended.

Un excellent repas du début jusqu'à la fin. Un personnel juste génial, souriant, serviable et efficace. Je ne met rien de plus que ces quelques photos pour illustrer.

Potrei dire tante cose iniziando dalla gentilezza e cordialità nell essere accolti fino al termine della serata ,ma riassumo il tutto con una sola parola: FANTASTICO!
