Ristorante Pizzeria Da Bruna In San donato di lecce

I've been frequenting this family-run restaurant for years, drawn by the excellent value for money that has always distinguished it. For me, it was the right place to introduce my guests to authentic local cuisine, a true guarantee of success. Unfortunately, something has changed recently. I've noticed a decline in variety, quality, and portions, especially regarding the appetizers, which were once their strong point. Some iconic dishes, such as fava beans and chicory, "scattariciati" tomatoes, pearl barley or farro, grilled mixed vegetables, and other delicious recipes have literally disappeared. The eggplant meatballs now seem to be made more of mint-flavored bread than eggplant, the pecorino cheese cubes have been replaced by a bland primo sale, the potato croquettes are "bready," the bruschetta has shrunk and been stuffed with mayonnaise (!!!), and I could, alas, go on. I understand the price increase due to the economic crisis, but if this is coupled with a deterioration in the offerings, I'm sorry, but the quality/price ratio is no longer sustainable. I'm adding one star only in the hope that the quality of the past can be restored. Best regards.

Very kind, fantastic value for money, highly recommended

A delightful discovery. The food is excellent and the staff is super friendly. Recommended.

I may seem exaggerated, but in this place I ate the best meatballs and sauce I have ever tasted. I'm serious. The food is really delicious, everything, from the starters to the desserts. Furthermore, the place is very quiet, the staff is very kind and if you want you can also order pizzas. I hope to find myself in the province of Lecce again to be able to come back here. 5 well-deserved stars.
