I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

19/04/2026: Very large portions, tasty food. Local atmosphere. You can eat well and at a good price. Friendly service, helpful in making recommendations.

11/04/2026: Great restaurant/pizzeria (but no pizza available for lunch) close to the centre of Lecce. Highly recommend the meat mixed grill (a large portion of beef, pork, chicken, sausage and a local kebab made with lamb organs called 'turcinieddhu'), the starter with mashed fava beans and local greens and the 'pittule', local fried dough balls. The servers are friendly and the service has been timely every time we've eaten here. Recommended.

16/09/2025: It was recommended to me as a must-visit in Puglia, so I decided to go to this friggitoria for lunch. Welcoming staff, a beautiful location, and fantastic fried food. Excellent value, too. Recommended!

04/05/2026: It was our first time there. We were walking around Gallipoli and found ourselves in the old alleys of Gallipoli... full of restaurants... we decided to have lunch here because we were won over by the friendliness of one of the owners and I must say it was an excellent lunch... very fresh fish cooked to perfection... impeccable service and attentive to the customer's needs... the desserts are super, especially the tiramisu... I highly recommend it...

03/05/2026: A lovely experience at Ciccio's, with home-style seafood, and a slightly dated location, but still attentive to detail. The food certainly isn't Michelin-starred, but if you're hungry and are in the area, it's sure to satisfy your appetite.

08/03/2026: Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in the province of Lecce. Food prepared with extreme taste and personality. Must try at least once in your life!

23/03/2026: Dinner last Saturday with friends. I was a little worried because I had recommended this restaurant, but instead I was inundated with compliments for the excellent choice. We chose a Margherita pizza as an appetizer (light, very digestible, superb, so good that some of us wanted more pizza at the end), followed by two specials of the day (a risotto and my farro tagliatelle with purple shrimp, truffle, and lime... DELICIOUS), pezzetti al pomodoro, a tagliata, and two more tagliatelle. We had bought the Cupeta (since it was a holiday in Giurdignano), and the hostess let us enjoy it at the table, very kindly. Of course, my friends ordered grappa. Excellent value for money. Quick service, friendly and helpful dining room staff. In short, I highly recommend it. Mrs. Morelli from Maglie.

18/03/2026: We went to Osteria degli Amici in Giurdignano. The atmosphere is simple, welcoming, and authentic, just as you'd expect from a true local osteria. We tried the cavatelli with beans and mussels: a truly exceptional dish, rich in flavor, well-balanced, and above all, filling. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the care taken in their preparation. The fava beans and chicory were also excellent, prepared to perfection, in full respect of tradition. We also had a pizza, which was very good, well-cooked, and tasty. The service was friendly and helpful, making us feel immediately at ease. Overall, a very positive experience: excellent food, generous portions, and a family atmosphere. Exceptional price. Definitely a place to return to and one I recommend to anyone who wants to eat well and savor local cuisine.
