I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

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

16/11/2025: Superb quality, friendly and impeccable service, and an enchanting location: truly a great way to celebrate a special family occasion!

05/11/2025: Come in Famiglia, these three simple words can make my experience in this restaurant clear. Those who occasionally read my reviews know well that I don't like eating in Gallipoli, not because of the amount of money one spends but because of the possible negative experience one might have. Well, today that wasn't the case. I would finally say that I had been passing by the seafront near the cold storage units for many years (once upon a time when the fishing boats arrived with the fish, they arrived right in front of these enormous cold storage units) and every time we passed by this place it was always full (summer period), so we went elsewhere to eat. But today here we are at 7:45 pm, the place is open and there are only diners, the owner and the Metre are there to welcome us, they welcome us with a big smile and here we are with the QR code we order, a chat with the owners and here come our dishes "Rich, abundant, and above all GOOD". I haven't posted any photos of the dishes because they have already been published by other diners, but only the bill, in my opinion. Correct for what we ate. Best regards to the owner, and see you next time.

21/10/2025: Very original and delicious options, like the parcels with various fillings. Guaranteed excellent quality and the freshest ingredients.

05/09/2025: After escaping the chaos of a festival, we found peace and quiet at this place. The staff were extremely kind and attentive, the service was fast, and the food was delicious... Fabulous croquettes!

31/10/2025: A seafood restaurant that's nothing short of spectacular! The food at Vergari is truly excellent: everything is carefully thought out, from the welcome to the dishes to the atmosphere. We ordered mixed fried fish, which was good but a little dry in some places—no big deal, because the flavor was excellent and the quality of the fish was evident. Then we ordered two seafood centerpieces: one very large and generous, designed for two people (but easily enough for two hungry people!), and another for one, also beautifully presented and delicious. The dishes were generous, served with care and using the freshest ingredients. You can tell there's passion and attention to quality behind them. The service was perfect, truly top-notch: the staff were kind, professional, and always attentive to every need, without ever being intrusive. The restaurant's design also deserves special mention—modern, refined, elegant, yet welcoming. As for the prices, I have to say they're fair, especially considering the location: we're in San Foca, a tourist area where prices are often higher, but here the quality-price ratio is truly excellent. In conclusion, I give Ristorante Vergari a full 5 stars: a place where you can eat the freshest, highest-quality fish, with impeccable service, a beautiful location, and fair prices.

11/10/2025: Excellent food and excellent service. Prices are average for the area.

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

25/10/2025: Very good restaurant in Salento. The prices are affordable. The dishes are very well prepared and the fried food isn't greasy (like in France, for example). Flawless.

19/10/2025: I visited this restaurant for the first time, and I must admit it was an incredibly pleasant experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm atmosphere and attentive service that pays attention to every detail. The decor is elegant yet cozy—the perfect place for both a romantic dinner and a get-together with friends. The food was absolutely delicious! Each dish was beautifully presented and meticulously crafted. I was particularly impressed by the combination of flavors—fresh ingredients, aromatic spices, and a palpable passion for cooking. The staff also deserves special praise: smiling, professional, and always ready to offer advice. I felt truly cared for as a guest. In short, this is a place I'll happily return to. Delicious food, a great atmosphere, and excellent service combine to create an unforgettable culinary experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking true quality and exceptional flavor!

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!

13/10/2025: Excellent restaurant - butcher shop Restaurant specializing in meat (from their own butcher shop). Cute place with outdoor seating available. Excellent cuisine with unique and beautifully presented dishes; we particularly enjoyed the bombette. Excellent service. I recommend booking, especially in high season.

10/10/2025: We came to Nardò because we were attracted by an ad for an Oktoberfest evening in Piazzetta delle Erbe, but once we arrived, it didn't really convince us. So we took a stroll through the historic center and saw the window of this butcher's shop... We went into the adjoining grill. The welcome was top notch. The owner, Francesca, was truly kind and attentive to everything that was going on in the dining room and kitchen. She was truly excellent. We had fried meatballs and a delicious tarte tatin with caramelized onions. Followed by bombette and a plate with burrata, bombette, and pesto. To top it off, fried cardoncelli mushrooms with cheese fondue. Everything was excellent and plentiful. It was all accompanied by an excellent Primitivo that Francesca recommended. Excellent value. I highly recommend it.
