I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

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.

06/11/2025: It's just what you expect when you walk into a bar!!! Courtesy and quality!!! A neat and discreet location!!!! I always recommend it!!!!

11/08/2025: As always, friendliness and excellent products

02/06/2025: Excellent coffee! Very kind and friendly staff. Perfect drinks for hot days. The espresso is a dream. A great place to relax.

09/12/2025: Wonderful hotel just steps from the Marina di Castro marina. Large, clean rooms, excellent breakfast and dinner, and attentive staff.

01/12/2025: A fairytale place. Excellent welcome. I celebrated my 18th birthday here with great pomp. Excellent menu. The waiters were also excellent; they never let anything go unnoticed! From the appetizers to the cake. Spacious and well-equipped rooms.

08/10/2025: Very friendly staff and great location

30/09/2025: Today I ate an exceptional sandwich prepared by Giuseppe. With every bite I savored all the passion and experience of this great professional... Keep it up guys. Well done everyone.

09/09/2025: The quality, service, and price are top-notch. The fish is incredibly fresh, the flavors are authentic, the portions generous, the prices are more than fair, and the staff is welcoming and professional. I'll definitely be back. Congratulations!

06/09/2025: The staff was disoriented and uncoordinated in managing the service. The wait was very long. The kitchen was having trouble managing orders. Two of the three dishes arrived at once, with the third arriving 15 minutes later. The food quality was not exceptional.

20/10/2025: We were here at the end of October. Very quiet and very clean. It would be nice if all visitors adhered to this.

12/10/2025: The Gospel of the Alimini Lakes. 🫴Damiano and brothers❗️

23/09/2025: Informal restaurant, friendly staff, excellent dishes from appetizers to desserts, fair prices. The only negative note was the house wine offered that was not appreciated, which was pointed out immediately if bottled wine was provided. Definitely worth returning.

10/09/2025: The food was excellent, both in quality and preparation. The restaurant was beautiful, with a pleasant terrace and a large, convenient parking lot. The service was slow, and that's understandable. Unfortunately, we (a group of eight) were the victims of a mistake because, as we were candidly informed after a two-hour wait after eating our appetizer, our order had been lost. When we complained about the long delay, we were told, in an almost intimidating and arrogant manner, that it was Saturday night and it was fine if we waited. Then the cherry on top. The same person (acting like the owner, probably the owner) repeatedly yelled at us as we were walking to the parking lot, saying, "But you never make mistakes in your job." A terrible experience. What a shame.

28/05/2025: Great place and, above all, great staff. The only thing that could be improved is the home delivery service. I wish you the best of luck.

22/04/2025: Excellent pizza, ready in 5 minutes. Very kind waitress, everything was fantastic.

01/12/2025: Excellent bar, where I recommend making a reservation. We actually had to sit outside. There's a shaded area both above and below the table. However, I'd recommend a patio heater for this cold period. Service is quick and friendly. The interior is also well-maintained. Reasonable prices for a well-composed aperitivo. Drinks are available separately. Plenty of parking available. Recommended.

26/11/2025: Experience and professionalism as always, Mr. Matteo is very well prepared to satisfy the customer's tastes, the staff is friendly - Congratulations!

04/11/2025: Excellent evening with truly delicious food. Superb pizza, excellent dough and toppings. Delicious Salento craft beer. Delicious first and second courses. Helpful and welcoming staff.

02/09/2025: Excellent in everything...you eat very well.

25/10/2025: Belami in Maglie was a major disappointment. The “catch of the day” was clearly old and smelled off, left by our table in hopes we’d choose one of those fish. We declined and decided to order an à la carte seafood pasta instead, asking if it could be cooked without wine due to dietary requirements. The waiter said the only option without wine was the Chianina ragù, as all other pasta dishes were already pre-mixed, unless we chose one of the smelly fish of the day. If the food were freshly prepared, the chef could have easily made a seafood pasta from the menu without wine. Most dishes seemed pre-cooked or frozen. I honestly don’t understand how this place can be mentioned in the Michelin guide. I usually avoid leaving negative reviews, but in this case, it was necessary.

28/08/2025: Belami Maglie is a true gastronomic gem in Salento. Under the guidance of the talented chef Tiziano Margarito, each dish becomes a memorable experience: the combination of creativity, refinement and respect for local ingredients is felt in every detail. The elegant atmosphere, impeccable service and wine selection perfectly complete the culinary journey. A place where passion and professionalism meet – certainly a restaurant that has all the assets to be a candidate for a Michelin star.

18/10/2025: Everything was great, except they don't have decaffeinated coffee.

16/10/2025: Great experience at Vera Tipica! Warm welcome, attentive service and delicious dishes made with fresh produce. 🌿 A truly traditional meal that I highly recommend!
