I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

26/10/2025: A super 4-star for IL FIENILE What a treat you can have with good taste and style! The event I attended was a 60th birthday party, and I'd say it was outside the norm. The birthday girl was bright and lively, and IL FIENILE perfectly showcased her personality. The service was very well organized, the dishes were typically Italian, but presented and combined with gourmet touches. The setting offers space for an evening with entertainment... the courtyard at the entrance is equally stunning, all in beautiful GALATINA!

24/10/2025: Excellent! Moved to this lovely new location very recently. Well prepared, well presented, good quality food. Beautiful dining room and courtyard. Good service.

15/02/2026: I've tried several times to write a review that captures the emotions I felt after tasting the food, but I've come to the conclusion that it's truly difficult. Chef Maurizio Raselli captures everything he is in his cuisine: a gentle and pure soul. A true journey of the senses, at 3 Rane. Highly recommended.

13/02/2026: Superb dinner at this lovely little restaurant in Lecce! Top-notch service, creative and perfectly executed cuisine! A truly fantastic place that's an absolute must-visit.

22/11/2025: Very kind and super efficient staff, excellent pizza as well as appetizers and dessert, highly recommended place

01/11/2025: Pizza Do.c surprised me. There were six of us and it was full, so we had to reserve for 10:00 PM. Service: super fast, we ordered, and within 10 minutes, they were ready for everyone, even though the place was packed. Food: excellent, I chose the special pizza doc and it was a pleasant discovery of flavors, and the truffle shavings were a real treat. Location: few tables, small and cozy. I would avoid strollers or anything else because there's little space between tables. Conclusion: the quality of the pizza combined with the super fast service resulted in a pleasant evening with no downtime, and despite the hour, we left before midnight, which was a real treat. Of course, book a week in advance. Definitely worth returning for.

29/11/2025: The food is a perfect combination of sophistication, quality, and masterful preparation. The menu follows seasonal trends. The desserts ended the evening beautifully. The service was courteous and fast. The staff's manner was delicate. The ambience is refined, with a simple design and beautiful lighting. Thank you, with the Genoese-style propellers, you've brought back a fond childhood memory. For those reading this: If you're looking for something sophisticated, not the usual dishes, I highly recommend it.

19/11/2025: Super good from appetizer to dessert

25/02/2026: A small but very nice pizzeria serving amazing pizzas to suit everyone's taste. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lecce. You will definitely be satisfied.

21/02/2026: I'm from Emilia and lived in the Naples area for three years. After three years of eating pizza in Naples, the comparison is a bit of a stretch. I have to say, however, that the pizza here is good, and the prices aren't bad either... The service is basic; there's not much seating, it's more of a takeout pizzeria. The staff is very friendly. You have to go between 7:00 and 7:30 PM because then there's a line and you have to wait.

02/02/2026: In the company of good friends, we spent a wonderful evening filled with laughter, excellent food, and the excellent service of Modou, a very friendly and kind waiter, always ready to satisfy our requests.

01/02/2026: Modoy super!!!! Thanks for the lovely evening

11/02/2026: Divine food, exquisite and professional staff. I return whenever I can.

19/01/2026: Homemade food, nothing special, normal portions, too many tables, small, not relaxing atmosphere, good price, not expensive for what we ate

01/02/2026: Once again at Matisse And once again completely satisfied with our choice. Thanks to Mario and all his staff for the warm welcome, the always polite and friendly service, and of course for the fabulous kaleidoscope of flavors in his kitchen.

02/01/2026: It's not the first time, not surprisingly, dishes that amaze the palate, smell, and taste buds. Everything is impeccable. I have a small complaint: the place isn't well heated. I recommend a stove with a fire; it would add a touch of warmth and make the space more welcoming. In the bathroom, turning on the existing radiator would be enough.

07/03/2026: An amazing place! We had the Leccese and it was quick, delicious and who knew I was a lover of horse cheese! The owner spoke with us in a mix of Italian and English even though we barely understood each other and was super friendly! One of my fav puccia I had here!

07/03/2026: Very good, fresh product. Not to be missed.

28/02/2026: Today my mother and I stopped at this pizzeria with the intention of having pizza, but we got distracted by the other delicacies on the menu! Overall, the place is a warm, welcoming place with very friendly staff, including Mr. Andrea, who served us courteously throughout the evening. The food... the food is excellent!! We had homemade potato croquettes and a mixed grill, and they were truly delicious! But the eggplant parmigiana won our hearts! It's simply sublime, it melts in your mouth... kudos to chef Donata. We'll definitely be back!

25/02/2026: Wonderful experience, I will gladly return for everything

28/02/2026: I'm still sitting here at the table, completely satisfied with my lunch at La Pignata. Friendly service, excellent cuisine, and good music. A relaxed atmosphere and attentive, smiling service, even accommodating requests for variations, like my amazing spaghetti with mussels in white sauce, with just 3 or 4 cherry tomatoes... exceptional! 😍 Thanks to all the staff, I'll take home so much pleasure!

06/01/2026: We went with a group of 26 friends to lunch at this delightful little restaurant in the heart of Otranto on January 3, 2026. We were welcomed by Mrs. Doriana with warmth and kindness. The food and price were excellent. I highly recommend it.

24/02/2026: Perfect combination of good food, good atmosphere and authentic Italian.

06/01/2026: We liked everything, the food was fresh and tasty, excellent service and a pleasant atmosphere, we will definitely come back again.

02/01/2026: Super food...welcoming staff...a lovely place...I highly recommend it!!!

01/01/2026: I had dinner on New Year's Eve with my family, we found the welcome and food top notch, I really appreciated the attention given to my 3-year-old daughter for whom the owner prepared an excellent "tailor-made" dinner, excellent service, excellent food and prices in line, all in a very nice place. I recommend it.

16/02/2026: Small but welcoming restaurant, centrally located, quick service and good food, competitive prices.

13/02/2026: A confirmation of my previous visit a few months ago... in a truly family-friendly atmosphere, excellent and varied zero-mile dishes of excellent quality and above all the discovery of new dishes and flavors unknown to me... the owner Giuseppe, together with his son, daughter, and wife in the kitchen, were so kind and helpful in accommodating us, even with our dog, now forgotten in other restaurants/trattorias... and above all in explaining and suggesting authentic foods and flavors new to my palate... truly recommended....

08/11/2025: Superb setting, refined dishes, professional service

10/10/2025: The place is beautiful, certainly very pleasant in the middle of summer because it's under the trees :). The service is impeccable; they speak French if you prefer. The fish is very good. Perhaps some of the sauces lack a little conviction :). We loved the turmeric and seed bread, which enhanced all the dishes! The wine selection was very good :).
