I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

05/05/2026: This place, and I don't get to it often, is truly ideal for eating and saying (HOW GOOD!) It's the kind of cuisine that reminds you of Sundays at your grandparents', traditions, passion, and love.

12/04/2026: In the heart of Nardò's historic center lies this delightful little traditional Salento restaurant, which has become a firm favourite with me. This is my third visit, and each time it lives up to my expectations... or rather, exceeds them! The location is simply perfect, with meticulous attention to detail and an authentic atmosphere that immediately immerses you in tradition. The food is exceptional: traditional dishes prepared with seasonal ingredients, authentic flavors that express Salento in every course. The service is always attentive and friendly, helping to make the experience even more enjoyable. Everything here is perfect: from the welcome to the quality of the dishes, to the ambience. I will definitely return again and recommend it to everyone.

25/11/2025: Un concept store nel centro storico di Gallipoli, meraviglioso. Cocktail di qualità, un bellissimo posto dallo stile ricercato che ha fatto centro. Ottimo per una serata in gruppo e in coppia.

07/11/2025: It says it's open and it's closed

30/09/2025: Dream place, it looks fake because of how beautiful it is!!! Just look at the photos!

12/04/2026: We had a fish-based lunch. Everything was very good.

03/03/2026: Excellent food Excellent service Refined location

06/06/2026: I had read a review by Antonietta about incorrect prices, and I experienced the same thing. Although the prices were slightly increased, they didn't match those on the menu, which is likely no coincidence. Some dishes also didn't match the menu; in one case, the price was changed without prior notice.

05/06/2026: Despite booking through Google, the restaurant unfortunately never received our request. We also specified that it was a birthday and that we wanted to organize a surprise for our daughter-in-law. The owner demonstrated truly exceptional kindness and professionalism: she personally went to buy a cake and organized everything at the last minute to make this evening unforgettable. A heartfelt thank you for this wonderful attention, which truly touched us. As for dinner, everything was perfect. We ate wonderfully, and every dish was a true discovery of flavors. The quality of the ingredients, the presentation, and the taste were excellent. You immediately sense that this is a top-quality restaurant, where every detail is attended to with passion and professionalism. We had a wonderful evening, full of emotions and wonderful memories. An excellent restaurant that we recommend without hesitation and to which we will gladly return!

08/06/2026: Thank you for a romantic anniversary dinner.

05/06/2026: Excellent vegetarian menu that leaves you with nothing to regret, everything well-curated and the Cheffe concept is clear from the ingredients to the choice of dish (the parmigiana in the "grandmother's" dish is a detail not missed), also excellent pairing with local wines and the elegant but familiar service at the same time, nothing to complain about especially compared to other starred restaurants, congratulations ♥️

21/12/2025: We had our daughter's baptism at this location, and being from Naples, I wasn't familiar with it. We immediately clicked with the owner regarding the date and the execution of the day. I can say without hesitation that it completely exceeded our expectations; everything was as described, and I tasted a combination of flavors that will never go away. The staff was always attentive, smiling, and youthful, and the atmosphere was enchanting. I certainly won't be returning for any event in Galatina. My sincere compliments. Chapeau!!!

08/12/2025: We chose I Due Trappeti to celebrate our daughter's baptism. From the very beginning, we were captivated by the beauty of the venue, a warm and intimate space that allowed us to fully share the celebration with our closest family and friends. Furthermore, the atmosphere and Christmas decorations made it even more beautiful and elegant. The dishes served were truly excellent; everything was incredibly fresh and the flavors were particularly refined. The service was equally precise, punctual, and attentive to every need. A special thanks goes to Francesca and Filippo, two fantastic people who immediately understood our needs and were always ready and available to support our decisions and provide clarification where necessary. Based on our experience, we can only recommend this fantastic venue to anyone who wishes to try it. And thank you again for everything.

07/05/2026: The best meat place in Lecce, always top-notch and the meat counter is always well-stocked, and for meat lovers, it's the best place to break your own records. Thanks so much, guys, keep it up 😊😊😊 P.S. Back after a long time, the place is always top-notch. What can I say? It's always a pleasure to come back ♥️

30/05/2026: The ice cream and cakes are very good and the service is very pleasant.

03/06/2026: Very nice place near the sea. Delicious first courses and very helpful staff. Good value for money. The fish is decent quality. I recommend the paccheri with red ragù, excellent flavor. Wide selection of dishes and a well-stocked wine list.

03/06/2026: The season opened with a bang at the Fish Market. The menu was very technical and thoughtful, but the real star was the fish, with its seafood flavor synonymous with quality. The wine cellar was also highly appreciated, offering excellent value for money. A Verdeca Salento wine accompanied everything, with a pleasant and elegant touch, just like the staff. Chapeau

18/01/2026: Kind and helpful owners, excellent food

15/10/2025: We celebrated our daughter's baptism in October! Il Pozzino was a sure thing for us! Impeccable organization, a sweet owner who was attentive to our requests, and kind and knowledgeable staff! And the menu? Well! Fantastic! Generous and excellent! For us, Il Pozzino is home! We and our guests were thrilled!

14/02/2026: I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant-pizzeria for Valentine's Day. The experience was extremely positive: the quality of the food was excellent in every way. I will gladly return and highly recommend it.

12/01/2026: We ate very well and listened to lots of karaoke music (good and bad, but you know, that's what karaoke is good for). I was especially impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner, Lino, and his entire staff...I didn't have a chance to try the pizzas, but I hope to do so soon.

29/04/2026: We've been coming to San Cataldo for years, and Ponticello Lido is a quiet spot, never too crowded, on a very long beach. The food is excellent, and the umbrella area is fantastic. We love it!

14/09/2025: Amazing everything extremely good quality price

28/08/2025: Great company, perfect weather, sublime food... Ms. Federica, always present and never intrusive... excellent advice and, above all, utmost honesty in recommending the best menu... Attentive to gluten-free needs and, above all, excellent quality of raw materials. Marco and Luca, always attentive and never intrusive. Compliments and always ad maiora. If she bids us farewell with a digestive, it's truly a good thing.

24/02/2026: Excellent pizza, super digestible dough, soft crust, well-cooked but not burnt. You can tell the flour used is high-quality, and the leavening is excellent.

22/12/2025: A rustic place with a truly old-fashioned inn feel. Good food, good seating. Recommended.
