I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

23/11/2025: I visited this restaurant in the summer, and since I had promised to leave a review, here I am, months later, because it truly deserves it. I'll be brief: it was an exceptional experience. After many years in Puglia and countless restaurants, I can say without hesitation that this place is excellent. We tried sushi, pasta dishes, and much more, and everything was simply perfect. The location is fabulous, the food is top-notch, and the staff's professionalism is extraordinary. We promised ourselves we'd return at least once a year, even if we travel many miles, because Il Mignano Germogli has remained in our hearts.

16/11/2025: A welcoming place where you feel completely at ease. High-quality local food, generous portions, and meticulously prepared. In my opinion, however, the most notable feature is the staff, who were so kind and professional that I couldn't help but appreciate them. I came here with my partner for our anniversary: ​​we discovered it on that occasion and thanks to a great The Fork promotion. We were completely thrilled and delighted, and have already decided to return! Thank you!

23/11/2025: Always welcoming, great service, great food!!

16/11/2025: A truly exceptional culinary and gastronomic experience! High-quality ingredients, impeccable service, and a seaside location—what more can I say?

05/12/2025: Excellent Roman-style pizzas - crunchy with various types of dough.

27/11/2025: First time at this pizzeria and I was thrilled. The pizza is very, very good: thin, crispy, large, and generously topped, and the fried foods and fries are also excellent. All this and excellent value for money. The atmosphere is a bit dated and retro, and it's a bit noisy, but it's a pleasant place and the quality of the food takes precedence over everything else. Highly recommended!

07/12/2025: Excellent croissants, nice place and very kind and helpful staff

02/12/2025: Beautiful bar and very friendly bartenders, I recommend it.

16/09/2025: Saverio is a great professional in the hospitality industry. He's not just a professional, he's a master chef. If you want good food at a fair price, don't hesitate to visit the butcher shop "Da Saverio."

16/09/2025: A great choice for meat lovers, selected directly from the counter and cooked to order. The owner is also incredibly kind and friendly. Definitely a place to visit again!

16/11/2025: The sandwiches are exceptional, the meat is delicious and the waitresses are excellent.

13/10/2025: Always good and a real pleasure to go and eat at Cillas

04/10/2025: Excellent place, excellent hospitality, where you can spend wonderful evenings in company, tasting excellent quality dishes

20/08/2025: One of the restaurant's strong points is undoubtedly the variety of dishes offered, so you're always spoiled for choice. The staff is friendly and helpful, although on busier days, service can be a bit slow. The restaurant is very unique and well-maintained.

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.

18/10/2025: Friendly and courteous, always excellent quality across the entire range.

12/10/2025: Normally, intrigued by the advertising, I expected a larger place, but overall it's a small, well-run pastry shop.

02/11/2025: Thank you for the beautiful day... everything was excellent, refined, and full of love, from the welcome to the excellent food. Francesca, you are always fantastic and impeccable. Thanks and hugs from everyone 😘

28/10/2025: I due Trappeti was the location we chose to celebrate our daughter's baptism. The setting is charming and meticulously maintained (stunning lighting, perfect table linens, plates, and glasses), prompt service, and excellent food. The owner, Francesca, and her son, Filippo, are available. Compliments to the chef and all the staff. Claudia, Giacomo, and Sofia.

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

24/09/2025: Unfortunately, it was already closed on September 23rd. I found information about it online on Google. We drove there especially and found the doors closed. The scenery is stunning, though, and when it's open, it's sure to be incredibly beautiful.

03/12/2025: We often go to this restaurant when we want to eat out because it feels like home. We've never had any unpleasant surprises, either with the food or with the bill. We asked to sit in a more private room inside the restaurant, and they accommodated us as best they could, as the restaurant has a very large main dining room inside and several other smaller rooms. When the weather permits, in addition to the large outdoor dining room overlooking the sea, there's also the option of dining in the garden, so everyone can sit wherever they like. Back to the food, it's excellent quality and always fresh. The first courses of the day are delicious, and I usually try them every time I eat there. The staff is very professional, with special mention for Valentina and Tiziano, who are incredibly hospitable and helpful. It's an ideal place for couples, families, friends, or even small functions; I know that in this specific case, they can also organize customized menus based on your needs. I always recommend it when friends ask me about a restaurant in the area. Dogs are welcome.

07/11/2025: Excellent home cooking. I recommend it.

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!

28/10/2025: Wonderful location. I've been there several times, both for dining and for a club night in August. Not least, a 40th birthday party. Everything was perfect. Highly recommended.

18/10/2025: Wedding in October. Thanks to the beautiful weather, the organization was impeccable, overseen by the owner. The food was excellent, the dishes were beautifully arranged, and the staff was professional, attentive to detail and the guests' needs. All in a fantastic location. Everything was magnificently perfect!!!
