I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

10/07/2025: Ritornato a cenare in questo bellissimo ristorante e fa piacere ritrovare tutto come sempre nonostante il cambio di nome. Ottimi piatti della tradizione salentina e servizio efficiente e gentile Prezzi in linea con qualità e ambiente

25/06/2025: Un locale stupendo, abbiamo mangiato all’esterno all’interno del cortile in un ambiente romantico e molto rilassante . Il menù offriva l’imbarazzo della scelta ma non potendo mangiare tutto 🤣 abbiamo optato per l’antipasto misto Casa Martino e due primi , Orecchietta Arrapata e "Minchiareddhro" del Marinaio. Buonissimo , ne siamo rimasta davvero contenti . In ragazzi in sala carini , gentili e molto disponibili .

22/10/2025: Excellent choice in San Cesario de Lecce. We ordered some fries and the burrata, mortadella, and pistachio pizza, and it was a delicacy. Very attentive and friendly. We ate there; there are two small tables outside. Many people came to place their orders. We would eat here again.

27/09/2025: A wonderful little place in a small Italian town! We had dinner here several times and tried different pizzas each time – one with traditional dough and one gluten-free. Both were amazing, and the gluten-free pizza was by far the best I’ve ever had in Italy! The staff were incredibly kind, we always got a table on the patio, and the owner was genuinely delighted to welcome visitors from Poland. Each time we were treated to limoncello and grappa, which made us feel truly special. Nowhere else in Italy have we experienced such warm hospitality. Highly recommended – and if we return to Puglia, we’ll definitely come back!

15/03/2026: A beautiful restaurant, lovingly and stylishly decorated. Wonderful food – meat, fish, and even vegetarians are catered for with creative and creative options. Many local specialties and products. Good wine, and the dessert is surely amazing, we just couldn't finish it... Leftovers are packed up without any fuss. The perfect and friendly service is the icing on the cake 🥰 We highly recommend it.

18/02/2026: A welcoming, clean place. Friendly and professional staff. Very well-prepared dishes. Apulian tradition from plate to palate, without over-the-top complexity, but simple and straightforward. It deserves our full appreciation, and we promise to be your guests again.

13/10/2025: What an authentic experience! The food is very good and the prices are great! The family who runs the place is super friendly. The best meat we've eaten in a long time! Definitely worth a visit! Thanks for the lovely evening.

12/09/2025: Reasonable price, good quality food. By change we discovered here. Highly recommended!

02/03/2026: The quality is top-notch, the venue elegant and very intimate. The service matches the quality of the dishes. I recommend asking the friendly and knowledgeable wait staff for advice. The photo shows one of the dishes offered. Highly recommended

21/02/2026: Our dinner was marvelous. The service was gracious and attentive. We ate ala carte because neither of us thought we could eat a full tasting menu. We ultimately ordered two starters; a main and dessert. And of course wine. We were pleasantly surprised by the chef's "welcome" offerings four amazing bites each with a unique taste. Our first starter was an oyster Gelato topped with cavier and two small crepes shaped like oyster shells. It was delicious. Our second starter was a a warm broth with small burrata filled ravioli in a lite tomato broth. Very tasty. The main was crusted lamb chops with vegetables. The lamb was perfectly done and the herb crust enhanced the flavor of each bite. The dessert was chocolate mouse with a shot of a lo al liquor. All in all a great dining experience. Highly recommend.

27/01/2026: Wonderful restaurant with a stunning view. Large rooms, bathroom with a huge shower, and a small balcony. Highly recommended.

19/01/2026: We had lunch at a wonderful place, in a stunning location. We ate octopus with vegetables, a dish that was too elaborate for my taste. The prices were high, more for the location than the food.

03/11/2025: La Pergola Restaurant was a real surprise during our stroll through Santa Maria al Bagno. It's centrally located, right on the village square, overlooking the sea. The highlight is undoubtedly the cuisine, which proved to be excellent. You can taste the freshness and quality of the fish, the true star of the menu. The staff is attentive, professional, and very courteous! Highly recommended! 👏🏻 Biagio and Maria Pia

28/10/2025: A very nice restaurant with more than reasonable prices and a warm welcome. The food is very good, very generous, and they accept dogs. I recommend it 👍🏻

01/02/2026: A welcoming restaurant with a beautiful open kitchen. The risottos are the best I've ever had in a restaurant, paired with excellent wines, and Diletta is truly kind. We can't wait to return.

05/01/2026: An intimate and well-kept restaurant. Attentive and friendly service. Truly exceptional food; we opted for the tasting menu: - Glimpses of flavor: tomino cheese, zucchini blossom with anchovy, and mozzarella, both delicious. - Tasting of three risottos: honeyed chestnuts with speck and mascarpone ice cream, turnip greens with sausage and caciocavallo cheese, Franciacorta with citrus zest, and shrimp carpaccio (the latter was exceptional). - Desserts: salted caramel tiramisu (I'm a tiramisu lover, among the best I've ever had) and lemon and basil ice cream (artisanal, incredible basil, delicious). The choice to focus on risottos is innovative; gluten-free options are also available. The chef is truly talented. High-quality products, fair prices. For two, with two glasses of wine, €75 total. I absolutely recommend it, a new favorite.

17/02/2026: In the heart of San Foca lies Trattoria Concepita, a restaurant that embodies the authentic soul of the town. The owners, longtime residents and sons of fishermen, proudly carry on a family tradition rooted in the sea, sacrifice, and passion. The management is attentive and genuine, just as it once was. In the kitchen, recipes from the past are rediscovered, prepared with high-quality and, above all, extremely fresh seafood. Each dish reflects the region: authentic, distinct flavors, without unnecessary embellishments. It's simple cuisine, but made with love—and it shows. The welcome is warm, the atmosphere is family-friendly, and the overall experience stands out in the area for its authenticity and care. Sincere compliments for the work they do with passion and consistency: a must-see for those seeking the true flavor of Salento.

30/12/2025: We ate very well, and the portions were generous. The girls at the tables were a bit stingy with their smiles, but overall, it wasn't bad.

27/12/2025: The food and service are good, but the place is a bit small, but I recommend going!

14/11/2025: Delicious pizza, comfortable place, kind and attentive staff.

05/03/2026: I tried the rustico leccese, which was good. I hope to try more in the future and give a better assessment.

27/02/2026: The beer is in plastic cups. Even when you sit inside

16/10/2025: Bakery offering quality bread, friselline, and biscuits, all expertly made in the old-fashioned way, and you can taste it! My only suggestion (I hope it's implemented) would be to see the words "Wood-fired oven" written on both the sign and the product labels: but Mr. Piero is absorbed in his work and less in communication. Perhaps he takes this type of baking for granted, which is a tradition here, but requires a great deal of effort and dedication from those who make it and shouldn't be underestimated. However, I think it's worth HIGHLIGHTING: everyone in the area knows about it, but there are also tourists and those just passing through, and this could help them better understand and appreciate the effort put into producing their baked goods.

26/08/2025: You can't judge the atmosphere; it's just a store. The bread and pizza are excellent. The biscuits are also delicious.

18/02/2026: I put 1 star because I can't put 0

17/01/2026: Truly special appetizers and main courses. Welcoming place, super friendly owner and staff. Excellent for lunch or dinner in Maglie.

21/02/2026: We went two nights in a row (first with 6, then with 3) and had a wonderful time! Fresh fish, cooked to perfection! The wait staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional. The chef comes through the dining room and pampers his guests like they used to! We'll definitely be back in the warmer months to try the outdoor seating! Highly recommended!

29/12/2025: From Varese every time we come to Varazze our restaurant is exclusively "il Gambero" excellent in everything... food, kindness, familiarity... You feel at home.
