I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

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.

30/11/2025: Great food, but I'm still eating 🤩

09/11/2025: Highly recommended. Homemade bread and pasta made with Tumminia wheat. Wood-fired dishes. Try the onion stew!

24/12/2025: The location is beautiful and feels like being on a ship under a starry sky in the late afternoon, towards evening. The pizzas are good and with strange combinations, like pumpkin, dates, and bacon, for example. Everything was fine except the wait. There were only three of us, with the restaurant empty, and it took about fifteen minutes for the pizzas to arrive. But all in all, not bad. Really nice: the place, the pizzas, the atmosphere. I'm not giving it 5 stars just because of the wait, because everything else is excellent.

16/11/2025: I had a gluten-free pizza (for those with intolerances) that I took out, and when I ate it at home, despite it being lukewarm, it was incredibly good! Really good! Congratulations, best pizza in the Lecce hinterland.

11/12/2025: Great family experience. We went with friends (other families) and had a great time. Excellent service and helpful staff, great location, truly a beautiful place. Well done...I would recommend it.

28/07/2025: Terrible place to eat. The owner is truly arrogant and presumptuous. He mocks customers and says untrue things. The food was truly awful and the price was high. I ordered bombette and he brought me a stewed meat that was spicy and extremely salty, practically inedible. I strongly advise against it.

05/12/2025: A must-visit if you're in Salento. The atmosphere is informal, the service is good, but the food is excellent, whether it's raw, fried, or grilled. Great prices, I come back every year. It's even worth the 40-minute drive just for Capitan Morgan.

31/10/2025: How can it be that plastic tableware is still being used these days? And in a restaurant, no less! We were appalled and thought it was a joke when the waiter brought us a bottle of water and two plastic cups. Then came the cutlery, also plastic, wrapped in plastic film 😳 And then the food, guess what? On plastic plates? What's going on? Too lazy to wash them? And all this with a direct view of the sea. One can only hope that none of it ends up in the ocean. The food was alright, but it would have been much nicer served on porcelain plates. The waiters could have smiled a bit more, and walking around the restaurant with their arms crossed doesn't exactly make a good impression.

06/01/2026: Impeccable experience! Very beautiful place located on the sea, warm and welcoming location perhaps a little spartan, but delicious and abundant dishes, extensive menu, excellent presentation of the dishes and quality, competent and courteous staff, very fast service. I highly recommend!

30/12/2025: Well-cooked, good-quality food. Attentive, courteous, and attentive service. Quick service. Recommended place; we've been back twice in a week. Beautiful location with a sea view, beneath the tower of Sant'Isidoro.

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.

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.

22/12/2025: A beautiful, exceptional evening. My wife and I celebrated our birthday in a comfortable setting. We had dinner with invited family and friends, who couldn't stop complimenting us on how great it was. The value for money was unmatched. I recommend it to everyone, whether for an intimate evening as a couple or for events with family and friends.

18/11/2025: Very large pizzeria with characteristic star-shaped vaults Very good pizza, and the staff is attentive and very friendly.

23/10/2025: Excellent venue. Welcoming structure, all amplified by the professionalism of the staff. Over-the-top food. Value for money is more quality than price for what you get.

10/10/2025: A super nice café where you can also get something to eat. The best evening of all. And the staff were super nice to us, even though we didn't speak Italian.

21/12/2025: One of the few places that serves fresh croissants (not frozen and reheated ones), which are also excellent quality (although a bit overstuffed, which makes them difficult to eat without getting dirty...). Friendly service (even at the table) and a lovely outdoor terrace with plenty of tables overlooking the sea.

21/12/2025: An exclusive and very beautiful location but in terms of service and quality it is absolutely not acceptable for the very high price you pay

21/12/2025: Excellent food!!! The food is delicious and Vincenzo is super kind!!!

24/09/2025: I went to eat on Saturday evening with my cousin and her children, we had the fried food which was delicious like the ones our grandmothers used to make, the bruschetta was equally good and the mixed roast, everything was really excellent, the service was impeccable, the manager and the waiters were really kind... I recommend it to everyone

31/07/2025: Fresh pasta and excellent quality, quiet place and welcoming owners

31/07/2025: Delicious, fresh, and high-quality food, a quiet location, a wide selection of ingredients, and the brilliant option of choosing the ingredients to season your pasta. This place is worth it.

14/07/2025: Siamo stati davvero molto bene! Il servizio è stato puntuale nel rispettare l'orario della prenotazione e soprattutto molto attento nel far mangiare le bambine per prime e insieme, anche se avevano ordinato piatti differenti gesto da noi genitori molto apprezzato. Il misto fritto era davvero buono e leggero. Ottima anche la pizza, anche se personalmente l’avrei preferita un po’ più sottile ma resta comunque ben fatta e digeribile. I dolci sono una vera chicca, consiglio vivamente la millefoglie e il tiramisù, entrambi davvero deliziosi. Servizio gentile, attento e impeccabile. Una serata piacevole Consigliato

14/07/2025: Da tanti anni che andiamo in questo ristorante e ci siamo trovati sempre bene,ma questa sera ci siamo ricreduti.Abbiamo ordinato antipasto mare e terra che doveva essere x due persone ma da come ci è stato presentato non bastava nemmeno x mezza persona ( es. Un pezzetto di polipo di 3 cm può mai bastare x due? e così altre pietanze tutto minimal) .per non parlare poi della frittura di calamari presentata in piccoli pezzettini ( x farvi capire dei mini calamaretti che non sono indicati x la frittura duri e senza sapore).Chiediamo spiegazione al cameriere il quale va in cucina dallo chef per avere una risposta, ma non lo vediamo più. Chiediamo ad un'altra cameriera più esperta che ci delucita sul fatto che loro usano i calamari di piccola taglia in cucina e ci vuole rifare un'altra porzione di frittura ma noi rifiutiamo. Dopo per compensare ci offre un amaro che accetto volentieri. Vado a pagare il conto e mi ritrovo a pagare anche l'amaro . Insomma una vera amara serata.

04/01/2026: We had a very good lunch: paccheri with lobster, fried fish, mixed fried fish, and linguine with squid ink. I recommend booking and getting a table in the corner, so you have a beautiful view of the sea. 🌊 The staff was very friendly and happy, even though the place was full. In the summer, with the veranda open, I imagine it would be spectacular (we were there in January). Compliments to all the staff. 👍

31/12/2025: We arrived at this restaurant after a fantastic winter hike in the "palude de capitane," attracted by its strategic location directly on the beach. The location is indeed beautiful, and the dining room is completely glassed-in, offering a pleasant and relaxing view. The staff is friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to expectations, perhaps because it's out of season. The shrimp rice was overcooked, and the octopus alla piñata seemed reheated. Wine by the glass wasn't available, but that, too, may be because it's out of season. The price was reasonable. Perhaps we could try again in a more favorable season...
