Pizzeria Nonna Mary In Lecce

At Grandma Mary's, an excellent culinary experience. I ate the pezzetti, the famous Lecce pezzetti. I waited almost half an hour, but the experience was memorable and I would remember it even without this review. Tender pieces, just the right amount of salt, just the right amount of spiciness, a non-acidic sauce, and perfectly cooked meat, made for me and me alone. Grandma Mary and Elisabetta in the kitchen have surpassed every Michelin-starred chef, every new cuisine in vogue today; they have simply preserved the tradition of the '80s and '90s Osteria de Lu Totu in the historic center of Lecce. I am thrilled and ecstatic. I recommend this magical place to everyone for a dive into authenticity. Affordable prices.

The pizza was pretty good (it's a shame there's no rotisserie). Unfortunately, the space is too small. Friendly staff.

This is an exceptional place! If you are looking for local cafe with nonna in the kitchen, food that was selected with great eye for quality and brought with love - this is the place! It has the warmth of a home, services that is very welcoming, great prices, and incredible and delicious food!

Small neighborhood restaurant, where locals gather with friends or family. A simple place but with a warm atmosphere. The woman who greeted me was very kind; she found me a seat outside even though it was full, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, I had to wait over 50 minutes for my main course, which was the daily special on the blackboard... It ruined my appetite a bit because after a full day of exploring the city, I just wanted to eat and go home to bed not too late. So, I didn't really enjoy my chicken and chicory dish, which was a bit greasy; the vegetables were fresh. However, the pizzas looked very good.

An authentic place, delicious food, and wonderful people. I recommend the horse meat.
