I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

12/02/2026: The staff were very welcoming and courteous. The entire property displays great care and attention to detail. The suite with a pool is simply stunning, as well as very quaint. Even though it wasn't high season, our stay was still very pleasant, and the property is in top form. Plus, it boasts an excellent sea view. Definitely not to be missed if you're near Otranto.

09/01/2026: We stayed at this property for three nights. Upon check-in, we received a warm welcome that gave us hope. The masseria immediately struck us as beautiful and elegant. We booked two nights in a superior room, on two levels. The third night was in a suite with a small indoor pool. Nothing to complain about the interior decor and layout of the room, which is in typical Salento masseria style. Perhaps a little impractical, but nevertheless refined and tasteful. Problems arose after a few minutes... There was only one convector heater, which blew out lukewarm air and struggled to heat the entire room (the convector heater upstairs wasn't working). The temperature outside was close to freezing. There was no dehumidifier. The room was extremely cold, and the humidity inside was almost unbearable, so much so that water was dripping from the walls and the sheets were wet, as was the mattress. We reported the problem to the owner, who replied that it wasn't her fault if it was cold, and even if she'd given us extra sheets, they would still have been damp. She blamed the particularly cold time of year, not a clearly and grossly inadequate heating and dehumidification system. We didn't sleep a wink that night, and I felt very sick. I mentioned all this again the next morning to the owner, who downplayed the whole thing, saying it had never been this cold in Salento. She then dismissed me somewhat bluntly and resolved the problem her way, simply giving me an extra blanket. The second night, despite having paid for the room, we even went to sleep at a friend's house to avoid another sleepless night, especially considering the hotel's practically zero willingness to resolve our issue. To avoid completely wasting our money, we still enjoyed breakfast, which we have nothing to complain about because it was excellent. The third night, we moved to the Monaci suite, hoping the situation would improve. A stunning and beautiful suite with a wall-mounted split heating system that's significantly more efficient and independently controllable... although the walls were still dripping with water, and the floor was riddled with water. The bathroom didn't even have an opening window or ventilation system, and after a shower, all the humidity remained on the walls, clothes, and floor, even though we'd turned on the dehumidifier. At least we were able to sleep, because it was definitely warmer. But I don't think a property with such humidity problems (not just those with indoor pools) can be rented in the winter, especially at such high prices. I believe that the primary goal of a hospitality facility, especially one aiming to achieve certain standards, should be the OVERALL comfort of its guests. This review is simply an opinion based on our direct experience. **After reading the property's response to my review, I only found further proof that they clearly don't accept criticism and tend to place the blame on the guest's incompetence, rather than taking constructive action to resolve issues that make their guests' stay unpleasant. I would like to point out that no second split unit was activated in our room (the one upstairs wasn't working) and that we are able to use an air conditioner. ***The fact that their property is light years different from mine should be an EVEN MORE guarantee of a comfortable stay for guests, not the other way around! If a guest is forced to stay elsewhere, despite having paid for the room, there's clearly something wrong, and this is an objective fact, not a personal opinion.

24/01/2026: We ate very well...very kind staff.....highly recommended...truly authentic food...thank youuuuuu for everything 😘...

23/12/2025: Bar Lemì – Cozze e Gin is a truly special venue in the heart of Tricase's historic center, perfect for those who love fresh, creative seafood cuisine in an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. Chef Ippazio Turco masterfully reinterprets traditional flavors, offering high-quality seafood dishes prepared with modern techniques and the freshest ingredients. The wine and gin list is well-curated and interesting, ideal for pairing with any course or for an evening aperitif. The staff is courteous and attentive, and the outdoor seating is perfect for a special evening or a romantic dinner. Highly recommended for those seeking a genuine and delicious gastronomic experience, with authentic Salento flavors and a touch of originality!

12/10/2025: In addition to the magnificently furnished venue, the refined and varied menu adds to its beauty. The dishes are primarily fish-based. Finally, it's worth trying the chef's gins. I highly recommend it.

15/01/2026: Small restaurant in the center, we ate well and spent the right amount.

07/01/2026: Welcoming place with attention to detail. Excellent local food. Excellent octopus alla pignata. Also recommended is the truly delicious mixed fried fish.

17/04/2026: The place is one of those you wouldn't expect, spartan but just right for a seaside location. The food is truly excellent, and the staff is five-star. Recommended.

12/04/2026: Located on the seashore, a characteristic place to spend some relaxing moments, good food, good wine, good service, normal prices, what can I say....a good 8

19/04/2026: A simple and welcoming atmosphere with super helpful and cheerful staff, especially Federica. Being vegan, I still found a way to enjoy their pizzas by the meter, which are special and quite digestible, I'd say. Furthermore, the mix of fried foods, the first and second courses are a spectacle just to look at. Fantastic place.

12/04/2026: It confirms itself as a great and beautiful place...we were a few families with children, the place was full, but the appetizers and pizzas were not long in coming....I recommend the white cacio e pepe....excellent prices...compliments

02/05/2026: Excellent pastry shop. Very professional owner and staff.

26/04/2026: Excellent product! We saw the place on social media and decided to try it: even for those who don't have a sweet tooth, the tette della monaca made here are top-notch and absolutely worth trying. The staff is incredibly friendly: we were able to chat and joke, especially since it wasn't very crowded. Very good prices. We'll definitely be back.

16/10/2025: I’ve been in Nardo for a year, and this is definitely the best pizza I’ve found.

08/10/2025: I always promise myself I'll try something new, but every time I give in to temptation and end up ordering the same dish: meatballs with snapped tomatoes. Ladies and gentlemen, I tell you: you can't get up and leave without experiencing the magnificent sensory and emotional journey that dish can offer. Because it's not just a smell, a flavor, a color. It's a treat that tastes like home... like grandma's!!! Have you figured out that I'll be back again, and again, and again?! 🥰

26/11/2025: Very fast service. Very nice place... Welcoming... Very friendly and kind staff. Very good calzones... Recommended.

08/04/2026: I'd heard good things about it, but I was really disappointed. The wait times were incredibly long and the service wasn't up to par for the type of restaurant. I wasn't thrilled with the food, and the fried appetizers tasted like they needed a new oil.

07/04/2026: Easter lunch.... negative experience.

02/12/2025: Top experience! The pizza dough is incredibly light, but you can choose from a wide variety of doughs, including whole grain, whole vegetable charcoal, and many others. New pizzas include the carbonara and the Mortazzona, which you can see in the video I posted! The variety of products for those who don't eat pizza is also excellent! I recommend coming and experiencing the lightness of the next day's stomach!

28/10/2025: We stayed in Veglie, and while exploring the town on foot, we came across this pizzeria. I have to say, they make exceptional pizza, and the lady who served us was incredibly kind and helpful. I recommend this place to anyone passing through.

31/03/2026: The restaurant is cozy, with a beautiful interior, but there are no gluten-free dishes on the menu.

02/01/2026: Great food! Great service! We loved the dessert! The panacotta was really great!

18/10/2025: Everything was delicious, very fast and the waiters were very fast and attentive.

08/09/2025: I went to this place yesterday for the first time, I didn't think the meat was so good and tender.. thin and quality horse meat slice, excellent pork strips.. service could be improved a bit but I would go there again.. excellent price.
