'Scante In Lecce

08/08/2026: There were five of us for lunch, and we made a reservation to be safe. We had a great time, ample food, and excellent service. The bill was also more than fair. Highly recommended!

03/08/2026: It's unusual, almost unexpected, to find these small establishments in the heart of such a touristy city, which seems to be making too much progress in fine dining and gourmet plating, losing the essence of traditional dishes! My biggest compliments to those who still manage to guarantee more than affordable prices, impeccable service, and local ingredients that create dishes that, besides being unsurpassedly delicious, manage to take you back to a culture that must be discovered, especially at the table! On the menu, there are horse meatballs for just €0.40 each. With those few cents, I tried the meat for the first time, which, par excellence, describes one of the most popular Apulian dishes! Among the first courses, I recommend the Ciceri e tria and the orecchiette, which are seasoned in every way (ricotta forte, tomato and cacio ricotta, eggplant, turnip greens...)! A few glasses of good Negramaro wine were a fantastic way to end an impeccable dinner, as was the surprise of such a reasonable price (€20 per person)!
