'Scante In Lecce

07/06/2026: This Lecce farmhouse, nestled in the beautiful countryside, has the unique ability to immerse guests in a peaceful and tranquil rural setting. The interiors are truly charming: the old fireplace, the wrought-iron bed with antique sheets, the freshly baked loaves of bread that form part of a truly evocative setting, the farming tools, the soft candlelight. It feels like stepping back in time and finding yourself in another dimension... it's worth a visit... but alas, the cooked food didn't satisfy my palate. The much-vaunted appetizers of peasant cuisine are expensive and flavorless; the fried foods all tasted the same even though they were made with different ingredients. The fresh, handmade chickpea pasta was flavorless, the meatballs were rather tough, and the pork stew was not to my liking. In short, we enjoyed the experience for the setting...

27/05/2026: The masseria was recommended to us by many people, so we came here with high expectations. The place is indeed very beautiful and the masseria is well renovated. Unfortunately, the food and service didn't live up to the setting. - Service: There were foreigners in our dining room who were well-attended; we were given the menu half an hour after we sat down. There was a long wait between courses, especially for coffee. Overall, the waitress wasn't particularly friendly or welcoming. - Food: The appetizers were delicious but simple. The main course selection was very limited. You might want to respect tradition and make sagne with tomato sauce, but you can't charge €17 for it. It's a joke. The bill was very high for what we ate.
