I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

28/08/2025: The best pasticciotti in Italy, especially the "peratine" version, with pear jam. The staff is always very kind and friendly.

29/07/2025: The best pasticiotti far and wide and top-notch service. Don't miss this culinary experience!

11/12/2025: Beautiful location, fabulous food, and the very kind lady Stefania, always with a smile, accompanied us for this short lunch break!!!! We will definitely be back ❤️🫶🏻

21/11/2025: Excellent cold cuts and cheese platter. All the first courses were very good. The owner was precise in his explanations of the cold cuts platter. The girl was very kind and friendly in exchanging pleasant conversations. Congratulations. We will be back. Vincenzo, from the White City.

09/11/2025: I loved it! I had the fettuccine with purple shrimp: truly delicious, you can taste the local, high-quality ingredients. The homemade desserts are marvelous: I tried a fantastic hazelnut semifreddo, with a meringue base reminiscent of spumone, the local dessert. The staff were kind and patient. Highly recommended!

30/10/2025: Outstanding local specialties in a spacious, appealing, modern setting, all at a reasonable price for fine dining. Gracious host and varied but not overwhelming menu. Opportunity for those with an appetite (2 or more) to choose between land and sea tasting menus comprised of smaller portions of the four land or sea based entrees on the menu. An opportunity to sample the entire repertoire, essentially. Also good for large groups.

03/11/2025: Nice place. There are a few rooms where you can get coffee and food. When I went, one room was celebrating a birthday, while other groups were there just to have a quiet, cheerful drink.

13/10/2025: Very nice place, quite unexpected. We went there based on the reviews about the pasticciotta, but we were happy to sit and drink coffee. Thank you!

06/11/2025: Our waiter Manuella was the best. She gave us good tips for sightseeing. Also the food was nice and recommended

30/09/2025: The place is nice, away from the crowds, even if the staff isn't welcoming. Good value for money.

29/11/2025: Beautiful evening. Magnificent restaurant....

23/11/2025: Great menu. Lots of fun. I recommend it to everyone. Toppppp

19/10/2025: A beautiful and very traditional restaurant, located in a charmingly decorated alley in Presicce. Four of us dined, sampling three first courses, all top-notch, and the fried fish was excellent. The house amari is a coffee served like you've never seen before. 🤩 The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The owner, Vincenzo, was incredibly welcoming, kind, and friendly, captivating us with his legends about the "philosopher's stone" (which only he can reveal)! The quality/price ratio is top-notch! I would happily return.

27/09/2025: Highly recommended! Simple dishes cooked to perfection... go there, you won't regret it!

16/11/2025: I had lunch at La Chiacchieretta and can say without hesitation that it's one of those places that stays in your heart. The food is plentiful and divine, with dishes that smell of home, of true tradition, of those recipes that speak for themselves and need no frills. The atmosphere is very convivial and intimate, one of those spaces that exudes authenticity in every detail: you sit down and immediately feel welcomed, as if you were a guest of someone you've known forever. The owner, Maria Grazia, deserves a special mention. A fantastic woman with a contagious vivacity. Gritty, decisive, determined, but above all, profoundly competent in what she does. You can tell she loves this job and does it with true passion: she welcomes, advises, tells stories, and makes the experience even more special with her energy. La Chiacchieretta isn't just a place to eat well: it's a place where you can experience a piece of tradition, carried forward with heart and character. Highly recommended.

20/10/2025: A tiny restaurant in the central square of Strudà. It's a little gem of a place. Homemade cuisine with truly delicious dishes. The appetizers are delicious (I highly recommend the fried cod) and the first courses are excellent. The flavor of the homemade pasta is unmistakable. Don't get carried away when ordering, as the portions are more than generous. A quick tip: follow Grazia's advice and you won't regret it.

18/09/2025: The food was exceptional. High praise to the chef. The service was very attentive. The ambiance was fantastic. Highly recommended.

16/09/2025: The pizzas and food in general are excellent. Good value for money. Must try.

12/10/2025: In addition to the magnificently furnished venue, the refined and varied menu adds to its beauty. The dishes are primarily fish-based. Finally, it's worth trying the chef's gins. I highly recommend it.

19/09/2025: Highly recommended, good value for money. Must try.

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!

10/09/2025: Best calamari fritti ever! Can’t recommend enough ☺️

10/10/2025: A truly wonderful place. Tender, well-cooked meat. Excellent variety on the menu. I had a flank steak that was exquisite. Very reasonably priced. One of the best I've had in Italy so far. The atmosphere inside is very nice. I highly recommend the experience; it's hard to regret it.

04/10/2025: Welcoming atmosphere. Friendly staff. Quick service. Perfectly cooked meat. Fair prices. I'll gladly return!

12/09/2025: I'm usually quite wary of trying out unfamiliar pizzerias, but reading the menu piqued my interest with the "Puglia" pizza. My expectations were more than met: the pizza was truly fabulous! We had a pleasant evening and a delicious dinner. The friendly staff made the experience even better. This place is definitely worth a visit.

06/09/2025: Excellent service, excellent orecchiette and olive leaf pasta, very fast service. Well done.

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

12/10/2025: As a good Salento native I tell you that it's disgusting, nothing more.

20/11/2025: Good pizza and good meat. Despite the restaurant being packed, the service was quick.

15/11/2025: We visited La Conceria and were truly thrilled. The place is welcoming, the pizzas and dishes are prepared with quality ingredients, and you can taste the care put into the kitchen... but what really made the difference was the service. Special thanks go to Maria, a kind, smiling, and extremely efficient waitress. Even though the place was packed, she managed to look after us attentively, offering the best advice and making us feel truly pampered. Her professionalism and her approach elevated the entire experience. A place we'll return to and recommend to anyone looking for good food, a pleasant atmosphere, and service that makes you feel at home. Well done to the staff, well done Maria! 👏🍕✨
