I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

17/12/2025: A must if you want to bring quality to the table. The pasticciotti are truly unbeatable, with a wide variety of flavors. The staff is kind and very helpful. I can't wait to get the panettone for Christmas. Well done Donato and his entire team 👏

05/11/2025: Very original pastry shop, good but not very good.

21/12/2025: I was there in the summer and I recommend it to everyone.

06/12/2025: I celebrated a 60th birthday, few appetizers, while in agreement abundant appetizers. Excellent food, meat, fruit and cake. It seems that you pay by the piece you consume.

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...

22/08/2025: Great place, great choice, good prices and availability of food also at late hours. Good service!

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.

07/11/2025: Despite arriving less than 45 minutes before closing time, we were treated with courtesy and kindness ☺️

29/06/2025: Very good and fresh food. The girl in the dining room was very efficient!

28/06/2025: Pasta was great, seafood fresh and location was central hidden in the shade and with nice windy breeze. Priced a bit more touristic. Overall a solid 4+

29/10/2025: Avoid at all costs. You might as well make pasta at home. Barilla pasta is better. I don't understand why this is in the Osterie 2025 guide; it makes no sense.

09/10/2025: Extraordinary food - eggplant almost like Nonna Maria's, polpettone al sugo very very tasty, dessert and coffee I had melanzane al crudo, fave e cicorie, orecchiette con le cime di rapa, polpo fritto, polpettone al sugo red wine, rosé and dessert - 2 people

16/11/2025: I had a great time! Excellent local cuisine with traditional ingredients. The owners were very kind and helpful, and the location was also very convenient.

17/10/2025: Beautiful, quiet agricamping. We had our own bathroom, but the hot water was unstable and the pressure quickly dropped. Wi-Fi was available, but it wasn't stable. The location between Otranto and Lecce is ideal for exploring southern Salento. Highly recommended for a short break.

02/10/2025: A wide variety of pizzas with very high quality. Outside the historic center, but on the avenue that leads to it.

23/09/2025: Best restaurant in the area, incredible food, perfect atmosphere and super kind and helpful staff.

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 tops 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.

03/12/2025: Excellent restaurant in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The specialty is risotto, but the appetizers are also worth trying.

13/01/2026: Very good pizza, fast and punctual service. Mainly a takeout pizzeria with limited seating. The food selection is varied, and in addition to pizza, they also offer a wide selection of deli items.

23/12/2025: Pizzeria La Prima is a must-see if you're in Tricase! The pizza here is truly delicious, light and easy to digest, with artisanal dough and fresh toppings that you can taste from the first bite. 🍕 The quality ingredients and wide variety of pizzas—from classic to more creative ones like buffalo mozzarella, arugula, and bresaola—make every choice satisfying and delicious. The place has a youthful and welcoming atmosphere, with outdoor seating and always friendly and helpful service. Excellent value for money and a pizza that stands out for its flavor and lightness. Highly recommended for a dinner with friends or a casual evening!

13/01/2026: Nice place, friendly staff and good food

03/01/2026: Delicious and very inexpensive. Sweetest wait staff, amazing fries, table wine is so ridiculously cheap. Ate here 2 nights in a row because I enjoyed it so much. Also they offer multiple meat options which is almost impossible to find here. Love this place!

15/01/2026: A pleasant experience in every sense, family atmosphere, the first time we went and it was as if we had known each other forever.. The owner Tonia is truly a nice person, and no less so is Valentina.. We celebrated my daughter's birthday, truly unforgettable 💯🩷🎉🍽️🎂🎂🎂

03/01/2026: Beautiful place. Fireplace lit. Typical trattoria. The owner was welcoming and attentive in accommodating my special dietary needs. I had the tagliata... Very good, well-cooked, and tasty. I highly recommend it!!

28/12/2025: Nestled in one of Salento's most beautiful historic centers, that of the stunning town of Galatina. A casual, homey restaurant with excellent food and local produce. Special thanks to Fabiola, who welcomed us with her warmth and professionalism, making us feel right at home. Highly recommended.

13/11/2025: Hello. We spent a lovely evening at this beautiful restaurant in the historic center of Galatina. We ate delicious Roman pinza, a good house wine, and a platter of quality cured meats and cheeses. What can I say? Fantastic. As a true gourmet, I recommend it. It's a must! They also have another restaurant nearby where you can enjoy homemade Salento cuisine. Compliments to Luigi, the owner, and to Marco and the girls who work there. Highly recommended!

03/08/2025: Nice atmosphere, clean and welcoming, young, dynamic service, fresh food (and frozen, depending on the product). Worth a try, especially for young people.
