Trattoria Nonno Pici In Vernole

Always an excellent experience. I returned after a year, and it's still a guarantee. Authentic flavors and friendly staff. Fairly fair prices.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch at this wonderful trattoria in the village of Acaya, not far from Lecce. Everything was perfect - the ambience , the food (especially the antipasti) and the service. Would highly recommend especially for those wanting to try typical local dishes of the region.

On Saturday, December 6, 2025, I opted for dinner at Nonno Pici. I already knew the place, but after quite a few years, I decided to return. It was my partner and I. We started with two appetizers, consisting of a mixed fried fish and a mix of cheeses. To call these dishes exquisite would be an understatement. Next, we chose a lasagna with sausage and an amazing dish of fava bean and chicory puree. Needless to say, these dishes were also nothing short of delicious. We washed it all down with an excellent house rosé. What more can I say except that the bill was fair? In short, living just a few kilometers from the enchanting Acaya, in San Cataldo, I can safely say that, alas, the years have passed, but the "Nonno Pici" trattoria will forever remain the quintessential dining destination for those who love homely warmth and tradition. We will return as soon as possible because we truly love you.

Excellent restaurant, very welcoming staff. The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend it. We went there twice during our stay.

Excellent place. We arrived as a group of 11. A very warm welcome, hearty and delicious home-style dishes, a true trattoria atmosphere. We recommend it 100%!

Excellent traditional Italian cuisine. It felt like home! We spent two delightful evenings there. We highly recommend it.

Very welcoming and delicious food. Impeccable service and everything very clean. Simone the waiter is very friendly, but don't talk to him about fishing 😂

Simply AMAZING!! Background music, rustic atmosphere, excellent service, authentic Salento cuisine. I'm thinking of returning to Avaya, especially for dinner at this trattoria soon. Try it and believe it!

A great place not to be missed. Very generous portions. I recommend it.

you eat very well, super quality
