I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

01/09/2025: Excellent pizzas and schiacciatine

22/08/2025: Typical Lecce pastry shop that you absolutely must try!

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.

14/08/2025: Nice, pleasant, and clean place. Congratulations!

18/09/2025: Typical restaurant! Excellent food! Perfect service and very welcoming!

22/08/2025: The owners are exquisite people, their cuisine is truly excellent.

29/09/2025: It was my first time here, recommended by friends, and honestly, I was quite impressed. The courtesy and helpfulness of the staff and the owner himself, as well as the welcoming, almost "family-like" atmosphere, definitely make this place stand out. Superlative pizza!

07/09/2025: This isn't my first time here, and it'll definitely be my last. The service level is embarrassing, to say the least, and the wait times are completely unacceptable (an hour and 25 minutes for a pizza). The staff isn't up to par. The pizza isn't bad, if you have the patience to wait 90 minutes for it. I don't recommend it.

03/09/2025: Very kind and helpful staff. We had a hard time finding the entrance, but just call and they'll direct you (from the dirt road, continue straight, turn right, and you're there; then walk to the beach walkway, marked with lights and torches). Excellent seafood, right on the waterfront. A welcoming, elegant atmosphere that makes you feel at home.

02/09/2025: Thanks, Giovanni, for putting up with me! Antonella!

29/09/2025: Stunning location, to say the least. Knowledgeable and professional staff. Excellent value for money. Exquisite food, incredibly fresh and delicious fish!! Well done guys!!!

26/09/2025: I don't recommend the seafood pasta. It was completely tasteless. I probably won't try any of the other dishes. The next door is incomparably cheaper and tastier. Dinner in one sitting. I won't be back.

27/09/2025: Beautiful place. The menu is extensive, they make everything. The food is good; we tried several items and everything was delicious. I recommend the meatballs and the horse meat. The beers are obviously all good. The prices are also fair.

25/09/2025: I gave five stars for the food, service, and ambiance: I like to be honest. The four stars are because the owner isn't particularly friendly (personal opinion). Really good pizza and a remarkable selection of local beers. The service staff are very efficient and helpful. The prices are a little above average, but the quality justifies them.

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.

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.

05/10/2025: Excellent... we ate almost immediately, everything was excellent... the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

30/09/2025: I found the meat very good, perhaps less choice than I expected, the service excellent, the atmosphere not bad, the only flaw is that the outside tables are on the pavement of a very busy road, but knowing this I would say that you eat quite well and you pay the right price.

17/08/2025: We just had a truly excellent crepe, the best. Perfect service and very friendly staff. Congratulations!

08/07/2025: Very nice bar, pastry shop, and ice cream parlor. There are some outdoor tables. You can find typical Lecce desserts, including the delicious Spumone! Free parking is available along the street. Very friendly staff.

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.

31/07/2025: Wonderful pizza in a simple place, with attentive staff! I recommend everyone to come here, because in addition to having quality products, the prices are super fair (€35 for three pizzas, an appetizer, a drink each, and dessert). Thanks for the lovely evening!

12/05/2025: We found a. Cozy place, fantastic pizzas of the past, and then the impeccable service. The very kind girl who took the orders, even though we were a table of 8... and there was a mess in the room, they were very quick. Finally, the prices of a Margherita of 3 euros once upon a time hadn't been seen in a lifetime. We will definitely be back with a few more friends ☺️

22/10/2025: Right in the heart of Piazza Sant'Oronzo! Good quality, excellent pasticciotti. Very crowded.

19/10/2025: Everything was excellent: coffee and pastries
