I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

21/09/2025: Very kind and helpful owner, excellent cleanliness, super breakfast

27/08/2025: Wonderful vacation, quiet location surrounded by greenery, clean rooms, very friendly staff. Not to mention the owners, Walter and Paola, two wonderful people, very friendly, kind, and helpful. The breakfast was super generous, we'll definitely be back.

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 ❤️

15/11/2025: Trattoria in the historic center of Gallipoli, a small dining room with a few tables on the street, simple food, but most importantly, very kind owners and staff, fresh fish and excellent ingredients, and an excellent value. Highly recommended.

31/10/2025: The dishes are fresh and nicely cooked. Service felt a bit rushed although only 3 tables were occupied as it is low season. Prices are very reasonable for quality and quantity.

12/10/2025: We ordered a Burrata with local cold cuts (very good), Polpo Salento Style, and Polpo with Ratatouille. Unfortunately, both octopus dishes were quite salty — even the vegetables in the ratatouille. The staff was kind and replaced one of the dishes with pasta at no extra cost, which we really appreciated. However, when the second octopus dish also turned out too salty, we were told it couldn’t be changed because “only one dish can be replaced.” That policy felt strange and not really fair, especially since the food simply wasn’t good. The waiter explained that the octopus was fresh, not frozen, which might explain the difference in taste — but I’ve had octopus several times recently, and it was never this salty. I’m sharing this as kind feedback, because the restaurant itself is lovely, the service was polite, and the Burrata was truly delicious. With a bit more flexibility and attention in the kitchen, it could easily be an excellent experience for everyone.

09/10/2025: We have been in Puglia for 10 days now and in Lecce for 2 and our meal here last night was probably the best we have enjoyed so far. It is a little more expensive than some, but only a little and the extra is so worth it. The staff could not have been more friendly or efficient and the food was exquisite.

01/10/2025: Perfection doesn't exist, it's true, but here the quality is top-notch! We tried the pasticciotto and pasticciottottino for breakfast, both with cream (exquisite). They also have a good selection of savory treats, with stuffed bites and excellent rustichini. What can I say? It's worth a visit again, even if we're just passing through. Social media helps you discover these places, which then need to be verified in person (sometimes, in fact, they're a scam). The title of best pastry chef in Salento is well-deserved. Kudos to the lady at the cash register, who combines kindness and friendliness. Highly recommended.

26/09/2025: Too bad about the coffee, which was a little too strong... the pasticciotto??? 6... the cream was good enough, but it was crumbly and slightly off-tan. Not exactly accurate. You can't fool a Salento native... overall, I think it got a little lost... and it's a shame... 2.50 seems a bit too much to me.

16/09/2025: Just simply fabulous. Exemplary service. Stunning accommodation and the MOST wonderful food.

16/08/2025: Excellent August 15th dinner! The food was friendly and fresh. My compliments to the entire staff!

24/11/2025: The best restaurant and pizzeria

10/11/2025: Very good, we ordered two pizzas, they were wonderful.

07/12/2025: I would like to express my sincere gratitude for Danilo's work. He was always available, answering every request with a smile and great professionalism. His positive attitude and ability to create a collaborative environment are qualities that deserve to be recognized.

07/12/2025: Average service compared to others.....

28/11/2025: I like this place and back to visit it again this year, nothing changed since my visit 1 year ago (and it good) - i like to stay outside but this time the weather was rainy and stayed inside…tasty food, good atmosphere… thank you guys (especially Arthur) again

28/11/2025: Excellent food, you can taste the quality of the products. Excellent flavor combinations! Very well-kept atmosphere. The only drawback: we were sitting at a table for two, and on either side of us there were other tables that were too close together...

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.

12/10/2025: A true gem of local cuisine! Great welcome.

12/10/2025: Sunday lunch at noon with friends. Reserved, ate outside, service a bit slow. A small note: I prefer to drink water in a glass or tumbler, not a chalice 🤷🏼‍♀️

23/10/2025: Excellent venue. Welcoming structure, all amplified by the professionalism of the staff. Over-the-top food. Value for money is more quality than price for what you get.

10/10/2025: A super nice café where you can also get something to eat. The best evening of all. And the staff were super nice to us, even though we didn't speak Italian.

15/06/2025: The staff is fantastic, especially Valentina. Caffè Otranto also offers a newsstand and tobacconist—in short, a truly comprehensive bar.

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

22/09/2025: We visited this restaurant several nights during our vacation in Salento. And we were never disappointed: the staff were friendly and helpful; the food was excellent (we always chose seafood dishes and one night had pizza), generous portions, and the bread...made by them, served still warm, a true delight with their sauces. Breakfast was also always satisfying.

17/08/2025: Excellent experience, superb facility from the rooms, to the location, to the breakfast, to the cleanliness and last but not least, the kindness and helpfulness of the staff! Fantastic!

10/08/2025: Exceptional breakfast. Very central location, just a few meters from Otranto's historic center. Helpful staff. A veritable museum, it houses ship parts. Highly recommended.
