I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

07/09/2025: We loved coming here the atmosphere was beautiful and the fish was so fresh. I do give a 4 for service as I think the friendliness of the staff could improve.

06/09/2025: Finally, the "perfect" place! How many times do they tell you, "Go there, the food is good," and then you're disappointed... but here it really is, even better! I knew right from the raw seafood that it would be a hit: beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and simply exquisite. The first courses were also excellent, with attention to detail and truly delicious. A round of applause for the service: impeccable and always with a smile. I don't remember her name, but the girl with the Spanish accent was excellent; you can tell she's experienced and passionate about her job. Congratulations! I'll definitely be back (or rather, we will be back). Keep up the good work!

06/10/2025: Spectacular service, tables always clean even in a casino, the location is beautiful and well-kept and the waiters are always available, bathrooms are spotless upon arrival.

29/08/2025: Truly professional, the ease and experience with which they treat their clients is rare. Birthdays and parties are organized down to the smallest detail, with top-quality food and excellent value.

12/10/2025: Last night we finally managed to find room for three at this grill restaurant! We booked a table, arrived, and sat down! We ordered a mixed grill as per the menu, along with a bottle of good wine...a bit of a wait, but it was worth it...excellent wine, plenty of grilled meat, so delicious we couldn't eat it all...and to finish, some liqueurs offered by the owner.... Excellent value, highly recommended!!!! See you next time...

07/09/2025: Yesterday, September 6, 2025, we went to Mamba!!! I don't know where to start... absolutely EVERYTHING was positive! The waiters were kind, fast, and attentive... congratulations to everyone. It's not a given that you'll find these qualities. Delicious pizza, exquisite dessert (cheesecake). The wait times... practically zero, we came in at 10:15 PM, and by 10:45 PM the pizza was already on the table. The prices??? Affordable, I'd say excellent. As for the meat... until next time, we'll try it!!! CONGRATULATIONS.

07/10/2025: Nice restaurant, good food, relatively price. Friendly service, good location in center od old town Gallipoli.

06/10/2025: While prices were a bit high portions size was huge.

17/10/2025: Small and very simple place, I made a mistake in ordering horse meat, but I think I should stop by this place again.

11/10/2025: We had lunch at this little place today and I have to say it was a great discovery! The horse meat is excellent quality and reasonably priced. The vegetables are also very good. A 10 out of 10!

24/09/2025: We were there only one day but we will be back next year, Caribbean sea, clean and efficient structure and friendly and cheerful staff, promoted with full marks

21/09/2025: A place that allows you to enjoy its beaches even more

21/08/2025: A delightful discovery in Alezio, a welcoming and intimate restaurant with a simple, elegant ambiance. The selection of appetizers is fabulous, with both seafood and meat options to choose from, both excellent and delicious, especially the seafood pittule and panzarotti, prepared according to tradition—flavors that are fading away in the area. The first courses are also perfect, with attention to the ingredients and their pairings. The house wine is recommended. Excellent value. We'll gladly return to try the second courses, which certainly won't disappoint. Highly recommended, despite other, more hyped restaurants nearby!

20/08/2025: Everything is meticulously prepared and the ingredients are top-quality. Always the best mixed fried fish and seafood. A real guarantee, thanks to Angelo.

04/10/2025: Excellent place, excellent hospitality, where you can spend wonderful evenings in company, tasting excellent quality dishes

20/08/2025: One of the restaurant's strong points is undoubtedly the variety of dishes offered, so you're always spoiled for choice. The staff is friendly and helpful, although on busier days, service can be a bit slow. The restaurant is very unique and well-maintained.

01/10/2025: Exceptional cuisine...very fresh and masterfully cooked fish, exquisite desserts...divinely eaten!!

28/09/2025: One of our favourite dinners from our trip! Charming outdoor seating, very romantic. The staff were friendly and funny, fast service although it was busy. The food was delicious. I had the red lobster linguine (there’s an option of red lobster and just lobster and the staff recommended the red lobster to me as it’s local) - and it was delicious! My partner had the spaghetti with squid ink which was also lovely. We finished with the tiramisu although the other dessert looked gorgeous, but we didn’t have enough space left!

02/06/2025: Habíamos estado tomando unas copas en el bar de La Piazza, pero esperamos hasta nuestra penúltima noche para visitar el restaurante. Al igual que con otros lugares en Poggiardo, nos sorprendió que un restaurante tan inteligente y popular acechaba detrás de un pequeño bar. Éramos un grupo grande incluyendo niños, pero a pesar de que el menú es de gama alta que algunos de nuestros otros destinos, el propietario se aseguró de que tuvimos una comida brillante. Parte de la comida era simplemente excepcional, con mención especial para el risotto de tomate y el ragu de cordero (que hizo un buen cambio a la orrechiette de tomate. . ). No es barato pero buena relación calidad-precio, y había toques agradables en todo (incluyendo una excelente botella de limoncello al final). Fantástico lugar.

06/10/2025: A delight!!! Our landlord from Casa de Vita in Tiggiano brought us a sample of Voglia di Dolce on Sunday! So we went back to the shop on Monday and stocked up on all the delicious sweets. Two of each variety! Each one was better than the last 😍😋😋😋😋😋 Unfortunately, some are missing from the photo 😅 It's impossible to see them again 🤷‍♀️

23/08/2025: I found quality, honesty, and friendliness! Delicious desserts at a great price, and very helpful and friendly service!

21/05/2025: Amazing desserts and great kindness. In addition to what we bought, we tasted a fantastic ice cream (offered), the custard flavor with lemon zest was really special.

11/05/2025: Already a very high level pastry and ice cream shop. In addition, yesterday we enjoyed an excellent artisanal ice cream CONE creamy and very tasty. Highly recommended! Irene and Alessandro

20/04/2025: Spettacolo! Chi fa le preparazioni ha le mani d’oro! Ho avuto l’opportunità di assaggiare vari prodotti e sono tutti più che ottimi!!! Pucce, agnello pasquale, pasticciotti!

01/10/2025: One of the best restaurants in the province of Lecce. I've known it for many years, and every time I go, it's always a surprise. It's one of the few that satisfies me in every way. Excellent food, excellent service, and a stunning location.

23/09/2025: I really don't like leaving negative reviews. In fact I never do (truly I'm not just saying this) because I know the effect they can have an a business. However I think people should get a glimpse of the restaurant before coming here to spend a ton of money for subpar quality food. How can you be a in a region with an absolute surplus of olive oil and have food this bland at exorbiant prices. I don't think there was a grain of salt on any dish. It's also criminal to call an appetizer red prawns then get 4 pieces of the tail of a prawn that is barely bigger than a finger nail. I would have also rather been spared the "mixed greens" under my octopus as it was just that. Mixed green with nothing on them and majority of the leaves were rotten. Also a lobster pasta dish in which it requires you to crack your own lobster with your hands? Trying to make food into something "artistic" is the downfall of dining. Put something on the late that is worth eating and priced fairly. 45 minutes between starters and mains is a no for me as well. Rest assured this is an honest review....sadly
