I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

21/08/2025: Trattoria pizzeria from 1960s Italy, second-rate quality.

19/06/2025: Just like at home! A customer here for over 30 years. The bruschetta and house appetizer are a must, then you are torn between choosing between an excellent mixed roast or a homemade cordon bleu! Tried the fried food and what can I say? Excellent Domenico and the lady assisted by their son are a guarantee of friendliness and professionalism! The chefs in the kitchen deserve praise!

29/07/2025: The best restaurant in Salento in my opinion and 11 other people's opinion. Excellent quality of starters and first courses and the raw fish is out of this world.

17/07/2025: Simple and spacious atmosphere The pizza is really good I recommend

17/08/2025: Despite arriving very late and without a reservation (four people), we were greeted with kindness and courtesy. The place has an old-world feel, but it's a charming room with a magnificent tuff vault. Excellent food, the lavane ncannulate with ricotta forte were extraordinary. Excellent service. The quality/price ratio was very fair. The owner? Very friendly.

06/08/2025: Great job guys, great management, great service!

29/08/2025: We ate here one evening, featuring locally sourced vegetables and produce, homemade, local cuisine. Everything was very informal, with a lovely courtyard.

24/08/2025: I'm truly sorry, but it was the worst camping experience of my life, not so much because of the campsite itself but because of the staff who welcomed us, specifically Luigi and Tommaso. You pay before seeing the pitch, and that might be fine if the pitch is what was indicated when booking via email. We're traveling with a campervan and a roof tent. I'd specified this twice in the emails, and upon our arrival, the space reserved for us was just the parking lot (sand and dirt), which they claimed was a camper area, even though there were obviously no campers there, just the cars of people with tents. After an initial discussion, we were allowed to enter the tent area with our car, but it clearly wasn't a pitch for tents because it wasn't lit. After having dinner at the campsite restaurant, the only positive thing about this short stay, I brought the situation to the attention of Mr. Tommaso, since my colleague Luigi had shown us our spot. They then offered us the third spot from when we arrived (6 hours maximum, so imagine the inconvenience of having to move everything around). However, the last pitch offered was not shaded at all and not suitable for the height of our car. Once we opened the tent, the discussion ended with Tommaso telling us that if we wanted, he would reimburse us and we could leave. The next morning, when we woke up, we went back to reception and a scene broke out about why we wanted to leave. I explained everything and in the end, they told us we had to pay for the first night (€34 for 2 people + 10% of the total because otherwise they would have had to pay taxes + €10 tourist tax, which obviously we didn't use because we stayed 12 hours, so it's okay for guests to pay taxes without having used their stay). But it didn't end there. After frowning when they realized we wanted to leave, they still told us that: 1. They couldn't give us cash back. I suggested a bank transfer (instant, free by law from banks these days). 2. They said they could only give us a portion of the money we paid, €120 I think. After further discussions, incredibly, it seems they can give us cash. We managed to get €140 back of the €170 we paid, but beyond the money, the way we were treated was absurd. Negotiating to get it back is absurd. OUR money after they told us we weren't happy with it, we could leave and they would refund us. 3 If they didn't want to pay for one night, we had to refuse the night we reported the inconvenience. It was 11:30 PM after dinner at their restaurant. So I expect that if I'm at reception the next day at 8 AM (wake up at 6:30 AM to dismantle everything) to tell them we're leaving, I won't be charged for one night. I admit I've never dealt with people so unprofessional and so manipulative as to say untrue things just to admit they're wrong. We felt cheated. It's unbelievable that someone can only enjoy their stay (a van pitch with electricity and a minimum of light) if they get angry and force themselves. A very short stay that definitely ruined our holiday in Puglia. I've been going to campsites for over 8 years and have never experienced anything like this. I'm attaching a photo of our "pitch" at 8:51 PM to show you how we were supposed to stay/cook during these days, and a photo of their first proposal, which was supposed to be a camper area. Shame on you. If you have a car with a roof tent, I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND this Agricamping because they apparently aren't capable of managing these types of accommodations.

19/05/2025: Very interesting experience. Place discovered by chance on Google Maps. Delicious food, we tried the BBQ wings and the Big Burger and Chicken Burger sandwiches. The medium-rare Angus beef melted in your mouth. Beautiful reality and young, Good guys

04/05/2025: A bar restaurant with good service Family type Warm There were also young people Recommended.

06/08/2025: Very pleasant, friendly, child-friendly. There should be more food on the plates.

05/08/2025: Eating well at Federico's is a certainty, fast and attentive service, friendly staff, good food, good value for money, intimate and pleasant location

05/09/2025: Great service! Delicious pasticciotti!

10/08/2025: A great place for breakfast or a quick stop. 👍

19/07/2025: Tutto molto buono. È d'obbligo fare tappa da loro e mangiare veramente bene. Accorciamo un pochino i tempi di attesa e tutto è perfetto!

15/06/2025: Great atmosphere and warm welcome, the burgers are good

24/08/2025: Varied and satisfying aperitif-dinner, excellent service, and reasonable prices. When it came to special food requests, the staff was knowledgeable and helpful. When it came time to pay... they were even complicit 😉

28/06/2025: Today I went to your bar, after a 40 minute journey, convinced that there was a chocolate braid but as soon as I entered I realized that it was not there. This gave me a sense of disgust and defeated disappointment. It upset me so much that I remained silent at my final exam, thus ruining my futile existence. I spent a turbulent afternoon in tears at the mere thought of this day, that said, thanks but not thanks. XOXO

24/08/2025: We went to La Frascheria and we have to say the food was truly excellent: tasty, well-prepared dishes, with quality ingredients. It's a shame, however, that the overall experience was ruined by a truly inappropriate comment. Hearing us say, "These people don't understand they have to leave" left us speechless. Such an attitude also makes you forget about the good food. It's a shame, because the place is worth it in many respects, but courtesy should be an integral part of service.

20/08/2025: Very nice and welcoming place, very good food, excellent service, friendly and very kind staff...

21/07/2025: Food: Delicious but a bit expensive compared to other restaurants, and the portions could be a bit more generous. Service: Friendly staff. However, the service was a bit uncoordinated. Two of our seven-person group ordered appetizers. The waitress asked if everything should be served with the main courses, to which we confirmed. Nevertheless, only the appetizers were served first. Afterward, only the main courses came for those without appetizers. The two people with appetizers then waited a long time for their main courses. The others had already finished their meals. Ambience: The seating outside is rather cramped and small. While we were eating, salespeople repeatedly came to our tables (at least four different ones in our case) and were very pushy. The restroom was clean but not air-conditioned—because the heat builds up, it feels like you're in a tropical greenhouse.

17/07/2025: A very pleasant place in a beautiful little Lecce square. Very efficient and courteous staff. The food is good quality, without being exceptional. Good ingredients and original cuisine. In my opinion, the tuna was too "fruity," the result of an overly fruity accompaniment. In pursuing originality, in this case, the essence and flavor of the main ingredient are lost. But that's obviously a matter of taste.

30/08/2025: The food is too expensive for what's on offer. I won't add anything else. The service: the waiters are kind and helpful, but it's unpleasant to have to wait several minutes for all the dishes to arrive. It would be nice to be able to start eating together. Unfortunately, it's not worth a second visit.

28/08/2025: Everything was perfect. Excellent dinner in a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere. Kindness and professionalism reign supreme. Excellent value for money. Exceptional food quality, refined yet simple flavors. A truly positive experience. Recommended for everyone.

26/08/2025: An exceptional Italian restaurant! 🍕🍝 I go back every year and it's always a real pleasure. The portions are generous, the quality of the dishes is impeccable, and the service is always warm and attentive. A sure bet for enjoying authentic Italian cuisine, prepared with fresh produce. I highly recommend it.

26/08/2025: A detour to enjoy excellent pizza and shrimp-filled ravioli with amberjack tartare. The house-produced rosé wine is excellent. For dessert, a pasticciotto with Salento-style coffee. All at a super reasonable price considering the wonderful setting we ate in. Next time, I'll be even more hungry to try other local dishes.

11/07/2025: Excellent agriturismo, attentive service, and excellent food quality. For those who eat a little, the appetizer is enough: prosciutto and burrata, pittule, potato croquettes, caponata, capocollo, ricotta, semi-aged cheese, vegetable flan, and bruschetta. Everything was truly delicious. For two, we ordered sagne incannulate with tomato and ricotta forte, and for the main course, bombette and strips of meat with a local aged cheese like Grana Padano, and then they brought us a sample of veal stew that melted in our mouths. We tried both the rosé and the house red, both good. To finish, a small plate of fruit and two coffees, €40. For the area, it's not cheap, but considering the quality of the food and the service, it was money well spent. Bravo!

12/06/2025: Everything was good, food, service and drinks. The only flaw was the heat.

30/07/2025: Io e la mia famiglia siamo stati in vacanza per 15 gg, abbiamo soggiornato all’hotel universo, e tutti i giorni siamo stati deliziati della saporitissima cucina del ristorante Universo. Cibo di prima qualità, cortesia, gentilezza, tutto ciò che si può desiderare da una vacanza. Lo staff è sempre disponibile e cordiale, Tommaso è il non plus ultra in sala, ma soprattutto Luca, il proprietario, mette a proprio agio la clientela e ti fa sentire a casa. Ci ritorneremo di sicuro

21/07/2025: An exceptional experience. The location is unique, surrounded by nature, and you can even book a room and park just 15-20 meters from the beach entrance. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped. The restaurant is also of excellent quality and is worth trying even outside of your vacation. Congratulations!
