I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

07/12/2025: Excellent pizza, friendly and welcoming staff

12/11/2025: A place that can only be described as "family-friendly," from the appetizer, through everyone's kindness, to the bill. Delicious dishes, cooked with a passion for tradition that shines through, but above all, without the pretension of having to prove anything. The restaurant's 34 years of business speak volumes. The panna cotta and donuts are world-class. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a detour.

08/06/2025: We stayed at the Masseria for a week. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Giulia and Ferdinando are warm and attentive hosts. The room was clean and quiet. A highlight was the food. The breakfast was delicious; nothing was missing. We also ate dinner there every day. It was delicious and always fresh and locally sourced. A wonderful stay! Highly recommended.

04/05/2025: È appena terminato il nostro soggiorno alla Masseria Lacco e non posso non recensire più che positivamente la nostra breve vacanza ospiti di questa fantastica Masseria. La location, il cibo, l'accoglienza sempre gioiosa dei proprietari e, soprattutto, il grande amore per gli animali. Una menzione a parte merita il gustosissimo pasticciotto della signora Giulia! Noi ci siamo sentiti come a casa. Da tornare assolutamente e da consigliare a chi vuole passare una vacanza da ricordare.

08/10/2025: We had a wonderful evening at L'Artigiano della Pizza! We truly appreciated the kindness and attention they gave us. The pizza? Fantastic! Super light dough and high-quality ingredients, as only those who put heart and soul into their craft can. And the tiramisu pizza, a touch of art! See you soon!

28/09/2025: Pizza here is amazing, some classics pizzas as well as some specials, I would definitely come back again <3

08/11/2025: Beautiful location and excellent lunch (the fish carpaccio and seafood pasta were both delicious). The owners were very professional, kind, and welcoming, even with our dog. Thank you!

27/10/2025: We arrived at the Count's Grotto in the early evening, my beloved and I, seeking relief from that incessant heat. The food served transcended mere nutrition; here, chemistry became art, and the chef, like a modern-day alchemist, made the little things precious. Nothing is greater than the little things. Without the bitter, however, the sweet isn't so sweet. Even though it was in the sweet that my beloved found a fleeting smile.

05/10/2025: Thank you to Lino and all the staff. Always attentive to each of our requests... kind, helpful in everything! A fun evening spent with friends and excellent food! We will definitely be back. Thank you 🤗

25/09/2025: Welcoming staff, excellent pizza with soft dough, and pleasant evenings with good music organized by Pizzeria da Lino.

31/07/2025: Fresh pasta and excellent quality, quiet place and welcoming owners

31/07/2025: Delicious, fresh, and high-quality food, a quiet location, a wide selection of ingredients, and the brilliant option of choosing the ingredients to season your pasta. This place is worth it.

20/11/2025: Fantastic place, you feel at home right away... The owner is an extraordinary person... The food is very good and you eat authentic Salento cuisine... I highly recommend it to everyone... A greeting also to the very friendly and long-standing waiters, whom I adore...

27/10/2025: Excellent dishes, attentive and friendly staff The top chef

14/09/2025: Very tasty food, good service, absolutely fair price!

13/09/2025: I give it 5 stars for the service and food. We've been twice and paid very low prices for a generous selection of appetizers, first courses, and second courses. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was a bit dull because the music in front was too loud.

18/10/2025: Everything was delicious, very fast and the waiters were very fast and attentive.

08/09/2025: I went to this place yesterday for the first time, I didn't think the meat was so good and tender.. thin and quality horse meat slice, excellent pork strips.. service could be improved a bit but I would go there again.. excellent price.

29/11/2025: The sushi quality was well above average, but the service was inconsistent: there were four of us (two couples) and we ordered from the all-you-can-eat menu. The waiter initially expressed his concerns about the order being a bit larger than he was probably used to, and for our own good, he advised us to reduce it a bit. So far, so good. The problem is that, despite our reassurances that we shouldn't worry about it and that we would eat everything, he still decided on his own to halve our orders, as well as to space them out with monstrously long pauses. I've literally never waited so long in my life between courses. Fortunately, after repeated complaints, the head waiter/manager intervened and managed to resolve the situation, even offering us an extra item off the menu. The owner's intervention to ensure that everything was to our liking from then on was also appreciated. I didn't want to leave a negative review because the quality of the place is generally high, but this insistence is never appreciated, and the staff should discreetly warn you but then leave it up to the customer to decide whether or not to pay the penalty for the uneaten food. We'll be back for a second try, though. And I hope to improve the review.

29/11/2025: Modern, clean, and welcoming. Helpful staff The food is good, definitely worth a try.

29/10/2025: Avoid at all costs. You might as well make pasta at home. Barilla pasta is better. I don't understand why this is in the Osterie 2025 guide; it makes no sense.

09/10/2025: Extraordinary food - eggplant almost like Nonna Maria's, polpettone al sugo very very tasty, dessert and coffee I had melanzane al crudo, fave e cicorie, orecchiette con le cime di rapa, polpo fritto, polpettone al sugo red wine, rosé and dessert - 2 people

23/11/2025: Very nice place, impeccable service, the pizza was not there... improve the dough and leavening.

24/09/2025: beautiful restaurant with good food.

07/10/2025: Excellent restaurant with very tasty food and a varied menu. Fast and efficient service. The best tiramisu in Italy for sure!!! Fair prices and even cheap for the value.

16/08/2025: Decent service, fresh fish but very overcooked and salty pasta

26/10/2025: Both the pizzas and the first and second courses are excellent. The "sagne torte" are special, as are the horsemeat bites. Attentive and courteous service. Welcoming place. I recommend it.

24/10/2025: Excellent dinner in a truly peaceful setting, with excellent service and preparation, excellent dishes, good house wine, free parking, friendly and helpful staff, truly delicious appetizers, and all the first courses prepared in-house. A fantastic experience we will definitely be repeating.

25/10/2025: Puccia has no taste. I do not recommend it.

04/10/2025: Dirty toilets, uncooked octopus spaghetti with no sauce and rubbery octopus, long wait, disposable dishes, incompetent waitress, run away
