Spicchi d’Arte In Tricase

A welcoming restaurant nestled in the heart of the charming village of Specchia. Excellent pizzas with unusual and appealing combinations of ingredients.

Spicchi d’Arte is a pizzeria that has built a strong presence in the area over the years, with multiple locations in Specchia, Gagliano del Capo, and Tricase. I personally visited the Specchia location on New Year's Eve, and overall the experience was good, although there were some areas that could be improved. I'll start with the location, which certainly deserves a very positive review: the place is truly beautiful, meticulously maintained, and a pleasure to be in. The atmosphere is elegant and modern, ideal for both an evening with friends and a more relaxed dinner. The only negative, unfortunately, was the temperature inside: it was quite cold, and considering it was a winter evening, and New Year's Eve at that, this somewhat affected the overall comfort. Precisely because it was New Year's Eve, I expected something more in terms of organization and atmosphere. Even something simple would have been enough to make the evening more special. Instead, there was no real dedicated initiative, and we made it all the way to midnight without any particular moments of engagement. Only at the last minute was the Canale 5 countdown broadcast, which was appreciated, but could have been better organized and given a little more advance notice. As for the food, we ordered about 15 pizzas, for a total of €311. Price-wise, considering the quantity and overall quality, it's reasonable. The pizzas are good, and the dough, especially the Neapolitan one, is well-made. I ordered a specchiudda, which was really good overall; the only thing that made me turn up my nose was the burrata, which seemed too cold right out of the refrigerator. This is a detail that can bother many people and which I think should be addressed more carefully. We also ordered more classic pizzas, like the Margherita with Neapolitan dough, and more elaborate ones, like the one with burrata and bresaola. The fries were also good, although the latter were a bit too oily. The service was quite slow, but considering the time of year, the large crowd, and the special evening, that's understandable. However, along with the temperature of the place, it contributed to making the experience a little less welcoming than I expected, especially given the special occasion. In conclusion, I give Spicchi d'Arte 4 stars because the quality is there, the place is beautiful, and it has great potential. With a little more attention to hospitality, special event planning, and small details about the food, it could easily take a further leap in quality. This pizzeria is still worth a try and has room for improvement.

A perfect place to enjoy gourmet pizzas prepared to perfection

A truly beautiful and charming place: star vaults, paintings and photos on the walls, soft lighting, and a lit fireplace (a very refined atmosphere, especially during the Christmas season). The pizza was very good. Special thanks to Ali, a kind and cheerful waiter, who makes the service more pleasant. A few things that could be improved: the dining room was a bit cold, and the pizzas arrived slightly warm and not all together. There was also a small mix-up with an order, but it was resolved correctly (the pizza wasn't charged). I would also suggest paying more attention to the cleanliness of the restrooms and offering a paper menu in addition to the QR code. Overall, an experience with good potential, but these organizational issues didn't entirely convince me.

On this lovely December evening, my friends and I opted for this renowned pizzeria in the Salento area, known for its wide and varied selection of unique pizzas. Upon arrival, we were unfortunately met with a misunderstanding: I had booked for five people but was booked for three. Despite this, the staff immediately took action to resolve this issue and we were promptly assigned a table. The menu was quite extensive, and the lack of pictures can be problematic. We ordered a portion of fried pizza, which, however, turned out to be a bit meager; the pizzas, on the other hand, were very filling and all very good; we were satisfied despite some slightly burnt edges. When it came to the bill, we were even given a discount for not having change. In conclusion, I have nothing to complain about the staff, truly excellent and competent; the pizzas are good but a bit burnt; the place is a bit cold, but we survive.

★★★★★ SPICCHI D’ARTE is a pizzeria that wins you over at first bite. The pizza is truly succulent, with a light and fragrant dough that literally melts in your mouth 👄. High-quality ingredients, thoughtful pairings, and perfect cooking make every pizza a unique experience. Friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and great attention to detail. A place where pizza becomes art and passion. Highly recommended for those who love authentic flavor! 🍕

The location is a blend of Salento culture and nuances of contemporary art. Excellent pizza, friendly and professional service. A personal favorite is Matteo, who gave us a sense of familiarity and home during dinner. (Pierpaolo and Iris).
