I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

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.

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!!

07/02/2026: First time eating here, everything was really good, the fried food was excellent. I'll be back.

03/02/2026: I absolutely recommend this restaurant. The food is excellent, and the waitresses are truly professional and very friendly. Thank you. I'll definitely be back.

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: Very good restaurant, Italian cuisine based on fish and seafood, very good and tasty.

18/09/2025: Unique location..excellent cuisine..everything very comfortable..excellent cleanliness

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.

15/11/2025: It's not a hotel but a shop selling cheeses and farm meat. Friendly welcome, good and inexpensive products. I recommend it 100%.

23/12/2025: The atmosphere is a bit dated, but the service is very friendly and the food is good. The snails and mixed grilled fish are excellent. The pizza with raw shrimp is also really good. I would gladly return.

22/11/2025: The staff is friendly and always available, and they're very careful to make sure everything is on the table. The food is homemade and plentiful. I highly recommend it!

27/11/2025: As a true Sicilian, I rate the arancini from this Arancineria Top! I felt right at home!

26/11/2025: Authentic Sicilian cuisine Fresh and delicious products

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?! 🥰

19/09/2025: If you are celiac like me and you like fish, this place will drive you crazy!!!

17/09/2025: Fresh fish... everything good...

16/11/2025: I had lunch at La Chiacchieretta and can say without hesitation that it's one of those places that stays in your heart. The food is plentiful and divine, with dishes that smell of home, of true tradition, of those recipes that speak for themselves and need no frills. The atmosphere is very convivial and intimate, one of those spaces that exudes authenticity in every detail: you sit down and immediately feel welcomed, as if you were a guest of someone you've known forever. The owner, Maria Grazia, deserves a special mention. A fantastic woman with a contagious vivacity. Gritty, decisive, determined, but above all, profoundly competent in what she does. You can tell she loves this job and does it with true passion: she welcomes, advises, tells stories, and makes the experience even more special with her energy. La Chiacchieretta isn't just a place to eat well: it's a place where you can experience a piece of tradition, carried forward with heart and character. Highly recommended.

20/10/2025: A tiny restaurant in the central square of Strudà. It's a little gem of a place. Homemade cuisine with truly delicious dishes. The appetizers are delicious (I highly recommend the fried cod) and the first courses are excellent. The flavor of the homemade pasta is unmistakable. Don't get carried away when ordering, as the portions are more than generous. A quick tip: follow Grazia's advice and you won't regret it.

08/12/2025: very good pizza and also really good staff I recommend this pizzeria

09/10/2025: Nice, quiet, and relaxing place, very professional staff, and truly delicious pizzas. In my humble opinion, I've rarely had pizzas like this. Highly recommended. The prices are definitely excellent.

10/11/2025: Professionalism, kindness, and craftsmanship. Not just the pastry shop, but also the catering. You are the best.

11/09/2025: You can eat the best rustic calzones and pizzas here and it's a tradition, go Quintino 6 great

20/01/2026: But how can they continue to work? Selling shoddy products. A doughnut that's considered freshly baked, but it's at least a day old. (I'm attaching a photo.) But how do we expect tourists to return if we, the locals, are offered this shoddy service?

25/10/2025: A decent place to eat. We had the appetizers, pasta, and breaded chicken. Good portions. They're very friendly.

02/10/2025: I have tried at least 6 difficult dishes and 2 different desserts. Everything was delicious in a rustic sense. Zero flaws. I recommend this place wholeheartedly. Try their grilled food.

09/09/2025: This restaurant is right in the historic center of Lecce, so the atmosphere is already beautiful, clean, and welcoming. The service is excellent; I didn't wait long to be served, and I must say the waiters are also very good and friendly. Unfortunately, I only give 3 stars for the first course. The pasta was a bit too salty, and at €25, I was sad to leave it half-eaten. Maybe it was a slip-up? I'll be back, but I'll definitely order the meat, which is their signature dish.
