I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

23/11/2025: A welcoming place offering a wide variety of high-quality products. The croissants are excellent, among the best I've had in Lecce. The staff is friendly and attentive.

26/10/2025: Good, fresh products, polite, helpful, and friendly staff. It's impossible not to find what you want, and if it's not there, they'll get it for you.

06/10/2025: That dinner at Tenutta Linaza was a marvel from start to finish. In the middle of the fields of Puglia, with that soft sunset light, everything seemed to be taken from an Italian movie. The food? Sublime. Each dish was a celebration of the land: the fresh fish as if it had just come out of the sea and was brought to your table, homemade pasta that made you close your eyes with pleasure and that wine… as if the vineyard was telling you its story with every sip. And for dessert, Emilio’s tiramisu was a masterpiece. Not only delicious—it was one of those desserts that makes you speechless, because every spoonful deserves to be contemplated. The cream was soft as a cloud, with that perfect balance between mascarpone and just the right touch of sweetness. But what really made it special were Emilio and Clara. They carry it with a natural elegance, without pretension. They make you feel at home, as if you were part of the family. Emilio, with that calm smile, recommends dishes as if he had known you all his life. Clara, with an eye that observes everything, makes sure that every detail is in its place. It is one of those places where you don't just dine: you live an experience.

30/09/2025: Tenuta Linazza: relaxation, nature, and family fun Our experience at Tenuta Linazza was truly special. Beyond the beauty of the location and the quality of the hospitality, what made our stay unforgettable was seeing our son having fun with the owners' children, Emilio and Clara. Between outdoor games, laughter, and running around with Pongo, their wonderful dog, he experienced moments of pure happiness. The pool, nestled among the olive trees, is a little paradise: perfect for relaxing and entertaining children safely, surrounded by nature. The accommodations are tastefully designed, comfortable, and immersed in a landscape that invites peace and tranquility. The restaurant is a real discovery: delicious dishes, prepared with local ingredients and served in a warm and convivial atmosphere. Emilio and Clara are exceptional hosts, always available and attentive, capable of making every guest feel like part of the family. We recommend Tenuta Linazza to anyone looking for an authentic place to relax and enjoy precious moments with loved ones. We can't wait to come back!

12/01/2026: Excellent service: Rosanna was very kind and cheerful, it was a pleasure to collect the order

10/01/2026: Nothing special, 4 people As soon as we arrived, we ordered fries with cheddar for an appetizer (20 minutes) and 2 Tennent's. When the fries arrived, the cheddar was missing, but it arrived upon request along with the Tennent's. An hour's wait for the sandwiches. Again, nothing special; the sandwiches weren't hot. The atmosphere wasn't particularly warm, having the entrance door behind us.

03/01/2026: Excellent food, fast service, and top-quality meat. The food is delicious. Gianmarco and Sonia are tops.

15/12/2025: Great place, friendly staff. Recommended

05/01/2026: First time at this venue, a reservation for an evening with live music and a bit of performance anxiety since I brought friends. The atmosphere was welcoming and well-kept, and I was immediately welcomed with a table right where I'd requested, near the stage, and excellent seating. The first thing I tried was a beer, cold and pleasantly flavorful. We opted for the meat main course, and I found a cutlet just like my mom used to make it—really good, tender, and plentiful. Attentive service despite the venue being full, and the pork chop was also excellent. The music was spectacular, but it's a band I know and I'm playing it safe. The acoustics were good, and the experience was excellent. Definitely worth repeating.

19/12/2025: Classic pub atmosphere with well-maintained, modern furnishings. The guy who took our orders was excellent! Very knowledgeable, friendly but not intrusive. Good and well-prepared food. The beer selection isn't extensive, but it's quality. A great place to be!

07/01/2026: Passing through Parabita, we stopped for breakfast at this famous pastry shop. The pasticciotto was excellent, but the coffee was just okay; the girl at the tables was very courteous and helpful. The price was quite high. One thing, though: warm up this damn place...you can't have breakfast with your teeth chattering!

03/01/2026: I love their pasticciotti. Quality ingredients!

09/01/2026: Beautiful place, very rich and welcoming. It was wonderful to walk in and find the fireplace lit, just like home. The food was also excellent, with a great variety.

04/01/2026: A truly enjoyable lunch. The appetizers were thoughtful and well-balanced, featuring quality ingredients and elegant, yet unobtrusive presentation. The first courses were very good: perfectly cooked pasta. The dessert was simple and perfect, a perfect finish without weighing you down. The service was kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was quiet and welcoming. A place we'd happily return to.

12/01/2026: Excellent service, beautiful property. The breakfast served in the room was excellent. The owners' kindness did not go unnoticed. I recommend it.

24/08/2025: This morning I left the La Botte estate. What can I say: Top rooms Top hospitality Top cleanliness Top breakfast Fantastic and helpful managers We'll definitely be back Thanks for everything to Mara and her family

06/01/2026: Lecce tradition in the heart of the city

26/11/2025: Historic bar in Lecce. I've always felt at ease there, both for business meetings and with friends.

17/11/2025: Just steps from the sea, "La Vinaigrette" is much more than a restaurant: it's an embrace of flavors and smiles. The welcome was memorable; that "welcome," pronounced with warmth and authenticity, opened the doors to an experience worth sharing. 🦐 "Dear chef, I'm writing to congratulate you on your thoughtful choice of ingredients. For pleasantly surprising you with your seafood orecchiette." A dish that pampered the palate: the pasta gracefully absorbed the sauce, enhancing every nuance of the sea. A perfect balance between tradition and creativity. 🐟 The second course, fresh fish served with potatoes, black olives, and cherry tomatoes, confirmed the restaurant's philosophy: simplicity, flavor, and respect for the raw ingredients. Meticulous presentation, authentic flavors. 🍮 The tiramisu, served in a glass, concluded the dinner with sweetness and lightness, maintaining the classic Italian dessert tradition. 📍 A place you'll gladly return to, for the food, the atmosphere, and that unparalleled smile. Compliments to the chef and the entire staff: every detail is designed to make guests feel special. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended. To experience, to savor, to remember.

11/11/2025: A traditional and elegant restaurant, truly excellent. Gallipoli can be a bit overwhelming at times, with an often pretentious selection of dishes and prices. Here, however, we find refined cuisine, prepared with professionalism, using excellent ingredients, and at fair prices. Truly one of the best restaurants in the area.

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.

07/12/2025: Spectacular as always. The best.

05/01/2026: Very good food in the service they are very kind and helpful Eleonora very good

04/01/2026: We spent both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at this restaurant. It's charming because it's made of Lecce stone, warm and welcoming, and right in the center. The waiters were truly kind and super attentive... excellent dishes... I recommend the orecchiette with turnip tops and the meatballs. Fair prices. Congratulations to this restaurant, we'll be back as soon as we can.

09/01/2026: We were there in February. Great atmosphere, fantastic vibe, and amazing food. The price was perfectly reasonable for the quality of the food. We'll definitely be back.

06/01/2026: Food was great, staff were friendly (some even speak English), and the atmosphere was very cozy and relaxed.

21/10/2025: The wait was long but... it was worth the effort🤗

26/09/2025: I go there at least three times a summer. Everything is excellent, with good value for money. The portions are generous, and the staff is friendly.

16/11/2025: Enjoyable dinner at Estia Restaurant, where the dishes are carefully crafted and presented. The atmosphere is elegant and relaxed, and the service is courteous and professional.
