I migliori ristoranti di cucina altre cucine in Lecce

08/07/2026: Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in the area. Excellent quality, from the ingredients to the plating, you can taste the craftsmanship and attention to detail. The service is attentive, friendly, and always present without being intrusive. A special mention for the chef: top-notch technique and a truly wonderful person; you can taste the passion he puts into what he does. Thank you ❤️

03/07/2026: Orechiette with sauce and meatballs

03/05/2026: I'll be a dissenting voice. I'm only sorry for the waiters, who were so kind. A table was booked for two. We arrived on time. The place had been recommended to me by a friend, a regular customer. I trusted her. At the entrance, we were greeted warmly by the kind and attentive staff. Other customers came in after us. Meanwhile, we were served zucchini flowers with mozzarella and anchovies: delicious but full of frying oil. We waited for the first course (baked in a macaroni oven, rather dry), but in the meantime we noticed that the one we'd ordered had been served to those who arrived later. We didn't say anything. We waited some more, but we started joking among ourselves, thinking they'd gone to harvest wheat to make the flour for orecchiette. It was crowded, it was our first time eating here, so we decided to wait. At a certain point, the owner came over to apologize for the delay in service (and this made me think there had actually been an exchange of orders with the table of those who arrived later). My companion smiles and raises his hands (as if to say, "Are we going to make it?"). It was meant to be a gesture of amusement at the mix-up, but the owner was clearly a little nervous, because, in a loud voice, audible to everyone, he began cursing at him, as if he'd made an aggressive complaint, which wasn't the case at all. At which point I suggested he tone it down—after all, nothing had been said and my companion's facial expressions hadn't been offensive at all. I told the owner there was no need for drama, since his monologue had attracted the attention of everyone at the table, who were staring at us. Then he began to apologize repeatedly in a low voice, and I told him that maybe it was time to call it a day. I was feeling less hungry, but we decided to stay. We also ate a roast, then got up to leave. I go to pay and am presented with the bill, which is quite high, but I knew from the start it wouldn't be cheap, so I expected it. We weren't asked if we'd like anything else, we weren't offered coffee or a liqueur (as often happens in other restaurants), but it wasn't due, and there was no rounding up for the unsolicited scolding. In fact, I correct myself, the scolding was complimentary on the house. I would have preferred not to. If needed, I can post photos of the receipt to prove the veracity of what I wrote. We will never return.

10/06/2026: I went there for a winery tour and tasting and was very satisfied. Our guide, Elisa, was very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful, accompanying us on the tour, the tasting, and then ordering the wines to be shipped home. The tasting we chose included three wines of our choice (agreed upon with the other guests at the table) and accompanying appetizers. You can also order wines, grappa, and olive oil to be shipped or picked up on site. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I highly recommend!

28/06/2026: It was recommended to me, and I can confirm it's the best old-fashioned pasticciotto in central Gallipoli, with a wide selection of combinations, starting with the classics. See you next time, regards.

05/12/2025: Excellent customer service, excellent food quality, and excellent customer service. We stopped by by chance, thinking we'd grab a drink and some appetizers for a quick aperitif, but then we decided to stay and enjoy the house specialties in a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, accompanied by excellent wines. The owner is very kind. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

27/10/2025: Fantastic food. Perfect balance of flavors. Attentive, friendly service with helpful advice. It's a shame we're traveling further. We would have loved to return.

18/01/2026: THANK YOU to Francesca and Antonio for their availability, hospitality, and attention. The property is well-maintained, especially the garden and surrounding greenery. Beautiful pool. Recommended.

25/08/2025: I'd like to sincerely thank the owners and all the staff at Agriturismo Santa Chiara. They were always kind and helpful, ready to help us or check in. They offered us a beautiful room overlooking the pool. The included breakfast was delicious, with a nice mix of sweet and savory. Sometimes the lady cooks for guests, and I must say she's truly excellent. I absolutely recommend staying there for dinner, as it was a delicious and warm experience. The agriturismo is large and welcoming, perfect for taking photos or reading a book while relaxing in the sun by the pool. I found a bit of my hometown in them, as they are family-like, kind, and welcoming—just what I was looking for in southern Italy. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, safe, and welcoming place.

14/05/2026: A great bar for an aperitif at sunset, or for real night owls like us. Thanks and see you next year for the wonderful hours spent in a relaxed atmosphere with music. Uwe and Petra

14/05/2026: On holiday for several days in Gallipoli, this is a great little bar to go to for our spritz and lemon tonic. Incredible sea view from the terrace, and a really nice interior. The waiter is great and very friendly, prices are reasonable, I highly recommend it.

11/06/2026: Everything was good, especially the cakes!!

08/05/2026: Nice food and extraordinary staff
