I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

02/01/2026: A truly positive experience... highly recommended. We went for New Year's Eve lunch... we didn't know the place... we trusted the reviews... Nothing to say... Excellent food... friendly staff... nice place... we'll definitely be back.

26/12/2025: Excellent value for money...homemade cuisine and local delicacies

28/09/2025: Very nice little Italian restaurant, not touristy. Friendly host.

25/09/2025: Food and service were excellent

30/11/2025: We were there a month ago, we ate very well, I, who am gluten intolerant, ate a pasta s/g with clams which was nothing short of fabulous.

15/11/2025: We were at the restaurant last year and had a wonderful time. For this reason, we decided to return this year, and the experience was once again excellent. The food is very good, delicious dishes of excellent quality, fresh fish carefully prepared by the owner's mother. This time we ate: raw red prawns, octopus, a couple of different pasta dishes, pasticciotto cake, homemade limoncello—all delicious! But what makes the restaurant even more special, besides the little square it overlooks, is the owner's warm welcome, his wife's attentive service, and the professionalism and expertise of the two family members in the dining room, who made us feel at home and ensured a wonderful evening. We will definitely be back. Best regards, Tiziano and Eléna.

12/11/2025: A beautiful spot to spend the night with your campervan. A lovely walk through the fruit trees to the well-maintained, clean restrooms. We had visited Lecce the day before.

09/11/2025: We arrived in a camper for a fuel stop. But the place and the owner were so welcoming that we stayed an extra day. Highly recommended ❤️

14/12/2025: The location is charming, the staff courteous and knowledgeable. We ordered a starter of beef tartare with burrata, garnished with truffle, and the off-menu dish was excellent fried cardoncelli mushrooms, all delicious. We then moved on to the main course: 1kg of Danish Florentine steak... it melted in your mouth. To finish, dessert was "zoccolette" with Nutella and pistachio. I highly recommend everything I've described, as shown in the attached photos. An experience worth repeating!!!

13/12/2025: Excellent cuisine in every department

26/12/2025: Simply fabulous! Congratulations indeed...we will definitely be back.

12/10/2025: Excellent. Not expensive, quality food.

02/01/2026: Il Borghetto is one of those restaurants that immediately makes you feel right at home. A welcoming, refined atmosphere, reminiscent of home and tradition. Each dish speaks of its local tradition, prepared with quality ingredients and a passion that is evident from the first bite. You don't come here just to eat well, but to experience a moment of relaxation, conviviality, and true pleasure. A place you'll gladly return to, knowing you'll always find authentic flavors, attentive service, and the warmth that makes all the difference.

06/10/2025: Homemade food. The pasta was excellent.

20/01/2026: Super attentive service, pizza simply superb.

07/12/2025: Excellent and welcoming restaurant. The staff is super friendly and the food excellent; we tried the pizzas and they were really good. The atmosphere is beautiful, both inside—warm and well-decorated—and outside, with an entrance featuring decorated columns (we went during the Christmas season).

14/09/2025: We had the great pleasure of dining at La Rillo—and it was a truly exceptional experience. The food was excellent, carefully prepared and full of authentic flavors. The service was extremely friendly, attentive, and thoughtful, making us feel welcome from the start. The ambiance also won us over: the small restaurant is tastefully decorated and creates a very welcoming atmosphere, where you immediately feel at ease and can enjoy your meal in complete relaxation. For us, it was one of the best dining experiences we've had in Puglia so far—highly recommended!

15/01/2026: Great seafood at a very affordable price. Their antipasto la on a buffet: you get to choose among some 30 different things - marinated fish, fried veggies, meatballs etc. etc. Try the cozze alla salentina (stewed mussels in a lightly hot tomato sauce): for 5€, you almost get a full dinner!

13/12/2025: Excellent quality food, sea view location and friendly and competent staff

19/12/2025: The owners are fun and the atmosphere is very welcoming. We stopped in on karaoke night, which was really enjoyable. The Christmas decorations are stunning. Small place, so reservations are recommended.

11/10/2025: Last night we celebrated my friend's and my birthday at the venue's karaoke party, and it was truly a memorable evening. The staff was engaging, actively participating and livening up the evening. They were eager to accommodate our every request with enthusiasm and kindness. The bartender's singing skills were also remarkable!! :) Congratulations for the wonderful atmosphere you created, and thank you again!!!

09/01/2026: An old-fashioned trattoria, the food is good and traditional, and the table service is pleasant. The prices and portions are very reasonable. Recommended.

04/01/2026: Very tasty traditional dishes. Superlative fish in foil. Highly recommended. Excellent value for money.

02/01/2026: I came here for a glass of wine and tried the revised frisa and the pittule. They weren't very to my liking. The wait staff was very polite and friendly.

02/01/2026: It's always a confirmation, it's definitely the right place for any occasion... excellent food, well presented and with a creative and "international" touch...

26/10/2025: Quiet little terrace, the spritzes are very good! Small tomato and mozzarella salad with quality ingredients. The owner is adorable (and even speaks French).

30/09/2025: The aperitivo platter was good, but not outstanding, however the service was very nice and the seating area outside is really fantastic—it sprawls around the corner and looks out at a beautiful courtyard.
