I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

20/11/2025: The place is gorgeous, located right in the center of Lecce. The food is decent, but the service isn't the best, although I've seen worse...

09/11/2025: Everything was delicious. What would we do without you? Why close a place that's always a hit?

26/08/2025: The kindness of Mr. Maurizio Cezzi: if only we could give him 100 stars! The well-kept, harmonious, and clean grounds inspire a sense of relaxation and well-being. The climbing plants on the property are stunning, a peaceful retreat ideal for unwinding from the daily grind and reconnecting with nature. The private and convenient pool is also available.

24/08/2025: My boyfriend and I vacationed at Tenuta Sant'Andrea. The place is truly fabulous, strategically located for reaching the most beautiful places. We had a wonderful time. Matteo's kindness and hospitality were priceless. He made us feel at home right away and gave us helpful tips on all the places to visit. For anyone looking for a vacation in Salento, Tenuta Sant'Andrea is an absolute must!

06/12/2025: Everything was delicious, the service was impeccable, everyone was extremely kind and helpful! Great experience 😁

27/11/2025: The best on the market, I go there at least twice a week and have always left satisfied. Excellent customer service and product. Highly recommended.

01/09/2025: Excellent pizzas and schiacciatine

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

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.

03/12/2025: The pieces of rotisserie were really good, especially the French fries!

21/11/2025: If I could give it 10 stars, I would have given it 11. As a true Apulian, I recommend this fantastic place. I devoured 5 panzerotti like the ones in the photo, and they were truly amazing.

05/10/2025: Incredible pizza! The crust was beautifully thin and perfectly cooked. Great size, too. Not a lot of space to sit inside; more of a take-out place. We will absolutely return when in the area.

23/09/2025: Everything was very good, but a bit expensive compared to other nearby takeaways. Ex: Calzone €3 Large fries €7

07/11/2025: The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is lovely. Highly recommended!

21/10/2025: Cozy, welcoming spot in central Lecce with authentic Salento flavors and fresh ingredients. The staff are friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. A great choice for a relaxed dinner.

25/11/2025: Excellent food, beautiful location and kind and professional staff make Coppuledda one of the best restaurants in southern Salento

12/11/2025: You can feel the history of this restaurant; the food is excellent and carefully prepared. I appreciate the "scugnati" dishes, a hallmark of its green approach.

03/10/2025: Even from the outside, the unusual vegetation is evident: a Cereus cactus protrudes from the wall, blooming abundantly, a prelude to plump, sweet fruits. The interior is well-lit with discreet lighting and boasts a wealth of plant diversity. The elegant and welcoming dining room is a perfect setting for dinner. The dishes are excellent and the value is good. Excellent service.

29/09/2025: I've organized two events, one in the garden outside this summer and one in the indoor room... Excellent service, fantastic staff and the owner is amazing ✨ We highly recommend it ☺️

29/09/2025: Unfortunately, we only stayed for a short time, just a weekend to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, but we immediately felt we were in the right place. An elegant place, meticulously cared for, where every corner exudes harmony and beauty. Impeccable cleanliness, the kindness of the staff, and the tranquility of the location gave us days of true relaxation, just what we needed. Thank you so much for making our stay so special. An experience we will cherish with our fondest memories.

02/09/2025: I stayed with my family from August 20th to 27th. A simply wonderful, fantastic location, super quiet and well-maintained in every aspect. Absolutely excellent location for nearby Otranto and the nearby beaches of Salento. Giusy and Giuseppe, like all the staff, are exceptional people, always present and available. They make you feel at ease from the first moment. It's hard to find a flaw. The pool is superb, the rooms are spacious and always clean... breakfast, well, what can I say? Their products are top-quality. Wonderful holiday. We will return, but in a few days. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

15/11/2025: Very professional and friendly staff, a place with meticulous attention to detail, delicious food. We'll be back and I recommend it to everyone. 😊

01/11/2025: Check the prices again because the expense is not worth the effort.

28/10/2025: Honestly, I was skeptical about going in, and... I was right. The service was good, the waitress was friendly, the pizza was good, and easy to digest, but the appetizer portion didn't seem to be of high quality. I also had the feeling the place lacked cleanliness, especially the dusty light bulbs in the bathroom, plugged into a multiple socket.

07/10/2025: The appetizer was very poor for the price. The food was okay, nothing special!

12/10/2025: Fiori di Zucca As a child, I often visited my grandparents in Italy – and today, 60 years later, all those memories flooded back. In this restaurant in the south of Lecce, which appears unassuming from the outside, the food simply tastes like it did back then: authentic, honest, incredibly good. A place where you can truly savor Puglia. A must-try! Fiori di Zucca As a child, I often found my grandparents in Italy – and today, after 60 years, they have truly savoured wonderful memories. In this seemingly simple restaurant in the south of Lecce, the flavors are always authentic: genuine, sincere, and indispensable. A post should be sent to Puglia from the palace. There you prove it absolutely! 🇮🇹

11/10/2025: This was an odd experience. Most importantly, the food is delicious, wonderful in fact. Exactly what I wanted - a taste of Lecce. We started with the fiori di zucca fritti and a sample of olive oil toasts. I had the Sagne Nnannulate with the tomato sauce with horse meat, lovely balance of richness and savory tomato flavor. My wife enjoyed the Ciceri e tria pasta, also wonderful. We paired it with a nice rose wine. Where I felt bothered was how we were treated. This is my 10th trip to Italy, so I know the customs and embrace them fully. I am not fluent but speak Italian decently for a tourist. We were dressed as well as anyone who showed up. We arrived shortly after the restaurant opened at 8pm. There was a large tour group eating inside. However we were told we could only eat outside. OK, I understand it's Saturday night maybe there were many reservations so we took seats outside. But it was evident that we were not welcome for whatever reason. We could tell from the conversations as people rang the bell to enter, half of the people who arrived afterwards didn't have reservations. I speak well enough to understand the language of the restaurant. YET NO ONE ELSE WAS MADE TO SIT OUTSIDE. Each time the door opened, we hear people inside enjoying themselves and we were alone outside. While food service was OK, in my many visits to Italy this was the first time I was made to feel like a stranger. Made more apparent every time the front door closed. To reiterate, the food is wonderful. The inside atmosphere and decor, from what we could see through the windows like beggars, is charming. We just didn't feel welcome. We skipped dessert downed a coffee, paid and left. We felt welcome in Bari for 3 nights but Lecce was not welcoming this night. Dumb luck I guess.
