Terra Ristorante & Tapas bar In Lecce

High-level chef, excellent food, remarkable raw seafood and catch of the day. Friendly and pleasant service.

Excellent food, excellent service, just meters from the Roman amphitheater. The price was a bit steep for our budget (not absolutely), but considering the quality of the ingredients and their preparation, the location, and the professionalism and courtesy of the staff, it's all worth it. A seafood dinner with an appetizer, a first course, a second course shared for two, two glasses of wine, a delicious and surprising dessert, and a passito. The entree also included a selection of ten baked goods (a variety of bread, focaccia, and pizzo leccese) and the chef's after-dinner treats (with several dessert samples), offered by default to all guests. Total: €135. The quality of the seafood was excellent. Once in a while, for those with a modest standard of living and a low-to-medium income, it's a truly enjoyable experience.

Excellent food, a huge wine list with very competent advice! And to top it all off, Antonio, the most personable maitre d' in Salento!

Lovely outdoor terrace. The presence of more than five waiters/maitre d'hôtels in the hallway overlooking our plates was over the top. It was too intrusive, even though everyone was friendly. The food was certainly higher-priced but certainly not bad. The various dishes were served very quickly. The service needs some improvement to ensure a better experience. It was very quiet that evening.

Mediocre Expensive Surly Service

The tasting menu is a real gem.....my compliments indeed!

Simply everything was perfect. We opted for the tasting menu, and every course had authentic flavors. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the wait staff was friendly and professional. We definitely recommend it.

My partner and I were there a few Sundays ago. Even from the outside, you could tell it was classy, ​​clean, and elegant. The staff was tidy, impeccable, friendly, and super attentive. I, who was expecting, also had the pleasure of receiving such attentive and caring attention. I'd definitely like to go back to try some of the other specialties on the menu.... Thank you so much, guys, it was a wonderful experience. I hug you all with love ❤️❤️

On Monday evening, strolling through the streets of a lively city, we stopped for dinner at this splendid restaurant. We were immediately greeted with a smile and shown to our table. The menu was varied and the wine list excellent. The maître d', Antonio, was professional and friendly, recommending dishes that turned out to be excellent. The quality/price ratio was excellent, and we'll be back soon.

High-quality hospitality, service, and cuisine in a refined and elegant setting. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
