I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

08/10/2025: Locanda Del Levante had been recommended by our walking holiday organiser Puglia Walking Holidays and we had an excellent experience there : attentive and polite waiters ( slighty rushed off there feet …) and special mention goes to Ciro , excellent food ( 3 courses all really delicious ) and good wine …if we were in Tricase more than one day we would definitely return… we came mid week at end of the season for tourism and lots of locals were there … booking in advance recommended . ( presenting the bill took some time :-) but considering the preceding experience this was not a problem)

02/10/2025: In the historic center of Tricase, good food and excellent service

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

19/10/2025: The President, the Board of Directors and the Members of AVIS of Francavilla Fontana (BR) express a more than satisfactory evaluation with reference to the courteous and rapid service and the excellent quality of the menu.

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

20/09/2025: Delicious pizza - they also have a gluten-free option, which is great - perfect for people with celiac disease. Very friendly service and good Aperol ❤️ I recommend it and encourage you to try it - it's great, thank you!

24/10/2025: Yes, it's a super nice restaurant with super delicious food 😍😋👌 The best fish restaurant in Porto Cesareo ✨👌😋

24/10/2025: Excellent fish and seafood restaurant. Impeccable service. We recommend it!

17/09/2025: I ate a pizza just as I wanted it, white scamorza, sausage, chips... the tuna and onion were also delicious... congratulations!!!!

02/09/2025: We met by chance and decided to make a pizza and it was really good

07/10/2025: We were a little disappointed when we came to eat at La Rusticana. The pizzas are very thick, and the flavors aren't exceptional. It's still a decent restaurant; there weren't any major problems with the food, but it's a bit of a "nothing special" experience. The welcome wasn't very warm; we didn't feel at home. Otherwise, the prices are reasonable, the decor is quite nice, and we were served quickly.

07/10/2025: Avoid pizza at all cost. Pasta/wine was okay

21/09/2025: Run, don’t walk, to this sweet shop! The gelato is great but the pastries really have my heart. Warm, fluffy and filled with your choice of cream- I will be dreaming of these magical treats and if I ever have the pleasure of returning to Tricase I will be back at this shop every night- ask for the owners suggestion if you aren’t sure what to get, they won’t steer you wrong ;) we got one of everything and our whole group was in heaven Bonus was the excellent location with view of the town square and big fountain to enjoy with my dessert!

02/09/2025: The ice cream is good but the brioche gets too expensive over time!

20/10/2025: I came here with my dog and they were really friendly to us. They gave him water and the food was really delicious and not expensive. The place is cozy and well decorated

19/10/2025: A pleasant evening in this small restaurant in the heart of the old town. Simple dish, good value for money. Attentive staff.

28/09/2025: A wonderful wine bar in the old part of town. A fantastic selection of local wines which were expertly described in English. We had three different wines each and they were all wonderful! Paired with a platter of local cured meats and cheese made for a small but tasty dinner. Sit outside as it is a great place for people watching.

22/09/2025: The best Aperol in all of Lecce. The local wines are also good, but the Aperol served here is simply Aperol.

05/09/2025: Okay, to help out... but the pizzas aren't great. A gorgonzola pizza, but with only four small pieces of cheese... flavorless. Furthermore, the service is really inefficient; we asked several times to see the dessert menu and to have the bill. Fortunately, one of the young servers was responsive, thank you to him.

14/08/2025: Exquisite food, friendly and empathetic staff, very well-kept and welcoming outdoor environment.

13/09/2025: The service left much to be desired. A place seating about a hundred people with only two high chairs is not organized; my daughter was held the entire time. I also had to constantly ask for refills on both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. They can improve a lot, especially since these were minor issues, nothing complicated.

06/09/2025: I ordered a takeout portion of seafood scialatielli, which unfortunately I didn't have time to photograph because it was so good I ate it right away. The fried calamari was also very good and dry. The fishmonger has a variety of freshly caught fish and an aquarium with lobsters of various sizes. I highly recommend it, and next time I'll be back, but to eat there, as they have a lovely outdoor garden in the summer.

22/10/2025: I celebrated my 40th birthday at "I due trappeti." The service was excellent, I loved the cake table set up by the owner, the food was fresh and delicious, and the location was beautiful! Simply thank you for everything!

20/10/2025: Sara and I wanted to express our sincere thanks for the wonderful evening on Saturday, October 18, for my wife's 40th birthday. Your hard work is clearly rewarded by the great success you're having and the many positive feedback we're receiving today! We'd also like to extend a special thank you to your staff, led by the great director Cosimo, who, along with the rest of the staff, were kind, attentive, and always present with courtesy and kindness! The food was excellent, and above all, you paid extreme attention to food intolerances and vegetarian requests, even accommodating those who didn't like meat or fish! Finally, but not to belittle anyone, we'd like to extend our warmest compliments to "our" Filippo and Andrea, an example of humility, hard work, and utmost dedication to the cause; it's hard to find such genuine and humble people these days! Thank you so much, because we truly felt at home. Thanks to Francesca for her constant presence and supervision. Hoping we can reach a thousand more milestones together, we send you a hug and warmest regards. Sara & Lele

27/09/2025: The crepes are delicious, and the owner is very friendly. Recommended.

16/09/2025: A cute little crêperie, run by an Italian who learned the art of crêpe making alongside a Frenchman! A great place

25/08/2025: We stayed at this magical masseria three days ago for my birthday. The location is stunning, beautiful, surrounded by greenery, and meticulously cared for down to the smallest detail! The food was superb, simple but cooked to perfection. The owner, Irene, was incredibly kind and helpful, and even sweet enough to bring me a cake with a candle because she knew it was my birthday. We'll be back soon, perhaps during the day, so we can see the animals better. Thank you for everything!

25/08/2025: A very charming and beautifully decorated location; attentive, professional, and unobtrusive staff; a fixed menu with a few twists compared to other competitors; kudos to Mrs. Irene, the heart of the Masseria. The price is in line with the offerings. Worth the trip.

30/09/2025: Great beachfront location, impeccable service. The best pizza I've had in Salento so far. Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back next summer.

30/09/2025: We were absolutely thrilled with the food; everything was hot and delicious. The squid in the seafood pasta was the most tender I've ever eaten in my life. 🥳 Wow! The staff was very attentive and friendly. Despite our language barrier, it was very easy to communicate without stress. The ambiance with the sea view was, of course, also beautiful. The only negative was the bright lights, which somewhat spoiled the tranquility. But you can definitely overlook that, as the main thing, the food, was simply magnificent. Definitely recommended 👍🏼🥰
