I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

01/03/2026: I was there for the first time a few years ago, and since 2025 I've already been there 5 times, so it means something's working well. 🥳 Lovely atmosphere both in winter and summer, wide selection of pizzas (including gluten-free), grilled meats, and desserts. Personally, it's one of the best pizza doughs, not too salty and easy to digest. Excellent quality and location with nearby parking. Ideal place for all events with friends, family, and small/medium-sized ceremonies. I'll definitely be back, thanks to all the staff. 👏🏻

22/01/2026: We had pizza yesterday and we really enjoyed it. It's a great place, the food is excellent, and the service is friendly. The pizza is excellent. The interior is beautiful. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back.

26/10/2025: A super 4-star for IL FIENILE What a treat you can have with good taste and style! The event I attended was a 60th birthday party, and I'd say it was outside the norm. The birthday girl was bright and lively, and IL FIENILE perfectly showcased her personality. The service was very well organized, the dishes were typically Italian, but presented and combined with gourmet touches. The setting offers space for an evening with entertainment... the courtyard at the entrance is equally stunning, all in beautiful GALATINA!

24/10/2025: Excellent! Moved to this lovely new location very recently. Well prepared, well presented, good quality food. Beautiful dining room and courtyard. Good service.

14/04/2026: We celebrated our son's birthday and it was perfect. We have to thank the staff, Martina and Eleonora first and foremost, Mattia and Lorenzo! Excellent products, clean outdoor area, and fast service! Thank you so much.

12/04/2026: So, the food was good, but the service didn't live up to my expectations, especially considering the very positive reviews. It's always a bit complicated to order when you don't speak the same language, but still, I was disappointed. We wanted an ice cream sundae with three scoops—which was actually offered—with three different flavors. But when we asked, we were told it was possible to have two scoops, but not three. So we ordered two scoops with the flavors we wanted, but then we were told we couldn't have two scoops, but only three. I didn't understand! We ended up with three scoops but only two different flavors, even though we had clearly asked for our three desired flavors at the beginning of the order. It's a shame... The photos on the website are quite nice, but for example, when it comes to fruit crepes and there's pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or even kiwi, and you don't find any of that in your order, it's really disappointing. We ended up with strawberry, apple, and peach, so really nothing like the advertised fruit. It would be good to at least mention that the fruit isn't always the same and list the seasonal options. I don't know, it seems like the right thing to do. 🤷‍♀️ The service was a bit slow too, I thought... Maybe we just had bad luck; everyone makes mistakes, but I'm sharing my experience anyway.

10/04/2026: Refined atmosphere, beautiful music, exquisite food, attentive presentation and kind and professional staff.

05/04/2026: A location with meticulous attention to detail, a warm welcome, impeccable and timely service (especially for the Easter lunch). Delicious cuisine, a unique selection of bitters and spirits. Highly recommended.

03/05/2026: The best value for money in Lecce! We received a very warm welcome upon arrival, with a friendly and helpful team. The pizzas are homemade, generously topped, and absolutely delicious. A very pleasant surprise; I highly recommend it!

02/05/2026: Fresh and very delicious pizza! I reccomend Ciro, it's diferrent.

03/04/2026: Delicious pizza in a warm, welcoming, and elegant setting. Excellent dough and quality ingredients. To ensure we were getting the right pizza, we ordered a Margherita last night. We were so impressed we ordered another. Compliments to the owner and the staff. Definitely worth a try, highly recommended.

24/03/2026: A certainty of kindness and quality

20/04/2026: Cozy atmosphere, very good wines, nice little platter. Go for it!

15/04/2026: The platter for 2 is worth the price, both for its variety and its flavors.

26/11/2025: Visited on April 25, 2025. I've traveled extensively and I can guarantee that this is one of the best restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of eating at.

11/11/2025: Excellent food and desserts. Prices are a bit higher than elsewhere in Puglia, but we will gladly return.

04/03/2026: I live in the Leo restaurant and it's original, different, excellent, I'll be back with pleasure, congratulations, my children are happy, I recommend you to everyone

02/02/2026: Top venue as well as the staff, thanks to the owner Leo for the lovely evening and unique welcome.

30/04/2026: Informal atmosphere, with wonderful pizza!! We were very well attended to and shared a table with locals from Lecce.

29/04/2026: The best way to start my Salento Walk! Excellent pizza!

08/04/2026: I thoroughly enjoyed the Pucce Pugliese; the burrata was meltingly soft and creamy! The owner is very welcoming and friendly, and the preparation is done right in front of you. The sandwich is generous without being heavy. A small table outside would be perfect 😉... I look forward to my next visit to your Pucceria!

03/04/2026: Extremely nice place with amazing food. Everything was fresh and delicious. I also have warm memories of meeting the owner. You must visit this puccinia in Lecce. I dream of going back there again!

10/04/2026: A great place to come and enjoy some tasty local food and fresh fish of the day, doesnt feel touristy at all, has more of an authentic feel. Service is really good, they offer you free prosecco (good one not the random kind) and figs and cheese before desert just as an in between free tasting. Its more inland and feels like an agriturismo place more rustic but yet modern enough without feeling sterile. Definitely good choice would recommend!

08/04/2026: Excellent. The products (fish, vegetables, etc.) are exceptionally fresh. Very friendly atmosphere. Impeccable service.

09/04/2026: I'm completely satisfied with the new management at Carnivori. The picanha was excellent and, above all, perfectly cooked. Highly recommended.

09/04/2026: We didn't find the interior very cozy and started our dinner somewhat skeptically. We arrived at 7:30 and were the only ones there at that time. We recommend making a reservation around 8:30, as there is more atmosphere then. We ordered various appetizers, which were very tasty. The main course was also very delicious, although we found the pasta carbonara a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, many of the items we wanted to order were unavailable, so we had to choose something else, for both food and drinks. The service is very nice and friendly. Ultimately, we were very pleasantly surprised by the restaurant.

04/04/2026: My husband and I came for dinner and found a typical trattoria setting, with the classic checkered tablecloth. Excellent value, with a wider selection than other similar places, but strictly traditional. We chose the fried food and roast horse meat for our main course and were very satisfied. Recommended!

18/03/2026: Great atmosphere, you can feel the tradition. The food is among the best I've ever eaten in a restaurant.

29/11/2025: The food is a perfect combination of sophistication, quality, and masterful preparation. The menu follows seasonal trends. The desserts ended the evening beautifully. The service was courteous and fast. The staff's manner was delicate. The ambience is refined, with a simple design and beautiful lighting. Thank you, with the Genoese-style propellers, you've brought back a fond childhood memory. For those reading this: If you're looking for something sophisticated, not the usual dishes, I highly recommend it.

19/11/2025: Super good from appetizer to dessert
