I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina pugliese in Lecce

22/06/2025: Fantastic experience, harmonious dishes and super helpful staff also regarding our previously reported intolerances and allergies.

21/06/2025: Excellent food, a bit expensive especially for the south but recommended

28/06/2025: Don't miss it!!! The food was excellent, delicious! The service was exceptional! Don't hesitate... YOU HAVE TO GO!

27/06/2025: On the recommendation of a friend, four of us had dinner at this restaurant in the historic center, a little hidden from the passing tourists but a true secret treasure chest of culinary delicacies. We ordered several tasting menus adaptable to your palate, excellent food, excellent hospitality, excellent value for money. Thanks again to the owner who satisfied my requests as a vegetarian by creating an ad hoc menu for me. Highly recommended! See you next vacation!

07/06/2025: Great meal. Magical and relaxing atmosphere in an old convent. Appetizers with simple but very good ingredients. We love broad beans and chicory! We then had some first courses and a slice of tuna, all very good... The service is worthy of note, very kind and professional waiters, in particular the maître, who has been a regular presence in the place for years, who pampered us like no one before. Highly recommended.

04/06/2025: What can I say… everything was perfect, the environment was taken care of down to the smallest details, the staff was welcoming and professional… good food of excellent quality and their dishes tell the tradition and typical flavors of Salento. The restaurant holds a history and guests can admire an underground pool.

13/06/2025: Welcoming atmosphere and friendly and pleasant service. Super food, really good. Central location, but “hidden” in a small alley. Among my top 5 in Lecce

22/05/2025: Happened upon this trattoria by accident, but very glad we did. Friendly, attentive service. Very good Eggplant Parmigiana; my husband had veal rolls and potatoes (like steak fries). Plus the music playlist was excellent.

02/07/2025: Unfortunately my extremely negative experience is linked to the service and in particular to an arrogant girl who just came in, who made a mistake with the order taken and then didn't even show up to apologize. She took away two appetizers that we waited for almost an hour. When I asked her for two additional bottles of water and pointed out the problem, she didn't admit the mistake either. The water didn't come anymore, except for the manager after other reminders from us. To end the evening and get us to the end, the manager followed us and apologized for the mistake. There's nothing to say about the behavior of the manager, the extremely late dish was also taken off our bill. In any case, it's a place I wouldn't return to; the food was ok but nothing special, and the behavior regarding the service penalized our evening anyway.

29/06/2025: An experience to recommend Very kind staff, delicious dishes and the shrimp and speck appetizer was a bomb of goodness

24/06/2025: Great little place to enjoy a wonderful dinner. Very helpful and kind staff, dishes prepared with care and very delicate. Particular but very pleasant combination of ingredients. Typical Salento dishes to try absolutely. Beautiful display of gins with a truly vast choice.

20/06/2025: We spent a very pleasant evening at this restaurant in Lecce. The service was attentive and friendly, and we were particularly pleasantly surprised by the wine recommendations from the waiter – we were even able to taste two wines before deciding. The food was consistently well-prepared and flavorfully balanced; the lamb dish in particular was memorable. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant – just right for a quiet evening. Overall, a lovely visit, one we will fondly remember.

01/07/2025: Amateur bruschetta, with a very modest taste, blindfolded I make much better, veal steak unsalted and practically tasteless. I'm very disappointed with the food, heavy amateurism.. The only thing is that it's in a nice place, and the tables with bar stools, you have nowhere to put your bag..

01/07/2025: A nice place with traditional food. We had some orecchiettes à la norma, which were delicious. The service was also great. Highly recommended.

09/06/2025: Ambience immersed in Lecce stone, staff trained and attentive in recommending combinations and dishes of the day. Delicious appetizers, exceptional first courses. We tried the hot burrata, broad beans and chicory, a spaghetti with sea urchins and orecchiette scampi. The icing on the cake were the desserts made by them, I had a cream tart, almond paste and incredible black cherry! Good variety of dishes also for vegetarians. Recommended

02/06/2025: Review: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) All in all a positive experience, although with some reservations. The menu is not very extensive, but the proposals are interesting and well-curated. The portions, however, are a bit small, especially considering the prices. The land-sea appetizer was a disappointment: four portions for 60 euros are really excessive for 8 mussels, 8 anchovies, a portion of octopus per person and the rest mainly composed of vegetables. I expected something richer and more balanced, especially for the price. Courteous service and pleasant environment, but I think there is room for improvement in the quality/price ratio.

12/06/2025: A remarkable meal! I arrive at 7:30, opening time, and I find 4 families already in line. Excellent sign. They open on time, and I am seated next to the cash register. The orecchiette with meatballs and ricotta are delicious, the bombetta with homemade chips are delicious, and the spumone (a semifreddo with a heart of figs and almonds) is even better. Washed down with 1/2 of the house red (ok), sparkling water and a very fragrant citrus digestive. Total 49 euros. Kind service, extremely efficient and helpful for a tourist ignorant of the local cuisine like me. Book if you think you will arrive late, because it fills up.

07/06/2025: Positive experience. Welcoming atmosphere. Kind and attentive staff. The house appetizer is super! Simple but extremely good dishes. Excellent quality/price ratio. Highly recommended.
