Ponticello Lido In Lecce

Very kind and helpful staff. We had a hard time finding the entrance, but just call and they'll direct you (from the dirt road, continue straight, turn right, and you're there; then walk to the beach walkway, marked with lights and torches). Excellent seafood, right on the waterfront. A welcoming, elegant atmosphere that makes you feel at home.

Thanks, Giovanni, for putting up with me! Antonella!

The restaurant offers dinner in a truly excellent setting with a sea view. The food we tried was nothing short of fabulous; everything was truly delicious and the portions generous. The staff is very knowledgeable and courteous, with an uncommon kindness that's hard to find. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an excellent seafood dinner by the sea in a very quiet and private setting. It's a shame we live far away and can't return...

I'm leaving this review thanks to the barista FABIO, a great

I've been coming to San Cataldo for several years and have tried several different beaches over the years, especially on the left side of the lighthouse. This is probably the one offering the best value for money. Its strengths are the large, well-spaced umbrellas. It's one of the few stretches of beach in San Cataldo without rocks, making it convenient for families with children. There's a large bar with a pleasant patio and a well-stocked restaurant with good food. Reasonable prices. Cons: The stretch of coastline where the Ponticello is located is very windy, making it uncomfortable on some days. The parking lot is completely unpaved.

Well-organized beach with well-spaced umbrellas. Friendly staff and free parking.

A lovely little restaurant/beach bar in San Cataldo with tables under the pergola on the beach. Good food and attentive service. Ample parking practically on the beach. Average prices. Simple and effective menu.

It's difficult to describe perfection in words, but the Ponticello Lido comes incredibly close. It's not just a swim, but a sensory experience that engages all the senses, from the breathtaking view of the crystal-clear sea to—and here's the real love at first sight—the taste. The true soul of this place is Chef Agata, a shining star in the firmament of seafood cuisine. Her creations aren't just simple dishes, but authentic culinary poems. The quality of the ingredients is unsurpassed, carefully selected and cooked with skill and passion. And the quantity? Generous, abundant, satisfying. You never leave her restaurant feeling like you've eaten too little, but on the contrary, with your heart and stomach full of joy. The service lives up to such excellence: attentive, courteous, and always present. The staff immediately makes you feel at home, pampered, and spoiled. Every request is fulfilled with a smile, every need anticipated with professionalism. Il Ponticello is an oasis of peace, a refuge where time stands still and pleasure reigns supreme. If you're looking for a place to recharge, dine divinely, and feel welcomed like family, look no further. Lido Ponticello and its exceptional chef Agata are the answer.

What can I say!! A lovely place to relax with soft music. We've had dinner here several times and everything is delicious. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Congratulations for everything!

We went to Ponticello Lido for dinner, which is served from 8:30 p.m. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. English was easily communicated. The ambiance at sunset was very beautiful and romantic. They had a great wine recommendation, and as a "greeting from the kitchen," they served a fantastic caponata with typical regional bread. For starters, I had spaghetti with mussels and tomatoes. The pasta was definitely homemade and simply superb. Everything was fresh and delicious. My main course was the tuna fillet in a sesame crust with teriyaki sauce and fresh salad. My husband had swordfish with caponata. We highly recommend this restaurant. It's truly a fantastic restaurant all around.
