I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lecce

05/07/2025: I went to this place that I found truly enchanting, with a breathtaking view, I was there with my husband for an aperitif, we received a warm and kind welcome, staff very attentive to satisfy the requests made. We did not expect the variety of the aperitif, particular, tasty and rich to give up lunch. Compliments to the chef who prepared it. Given the experience so pleasant it is to be repeated perhaps enjoying a lunch or dinner. Very beautiful location, it is worth trying for all the contexts described

04/07/2025: Beautiful place, amazing view and top cuisine!! I highly recommend it

06/10/2025: According to the website, it's open on Mondays. But we were laughed at as stupid foreigners because they're always closed on Mondays. We'll definitely NEVER be coming back.

30/09/2025: I ate there with my family a week ago, everything was impeccable, I will definitely be back, the fishmonger is always well stocked and the raw seafood is excellent, the staff is very kind.

27/09/2025: Bad experience, poor cleanliness, and very rude. The disturbing thing is that they flag negative reviews on TripAdvisor and have them removed, which is why they only have positive reviews. Avoid them.

19/09/2025: I recommend the place for the food and delicious pizza.

12/10/2025: My group of women and I had dinner at this restaurant during the Salento walk, but compared to many others we tried along the way, it didn't have a good score for either food or service. 🤪

05/10/2025: Warm welcome, good food, good value for money

02/02/2025: Very welcoming restaurant with good food, courteous service and friendly owners, highly recommended.

25/10/2025: One of the best experiences in Salento: authentic food, super fresh fish, and a very welcoming atmosphere. We'll become regulars!

18/10/2025: Probably the best panna cotta I’ll ever eat in my life, the consistency and flavour was amazing. Our sweet and helpful server Manuella said she’s the one who makes all the desserts herself - compliments ! The meals, decorations and atmosphere were homey and authentic-feeling — overall a very lovely dinner.

05/04/2025: You can stay inside and outside in the open and green

15/08/2025: Dinner with the family. We didn't use the rooms. As for the food, you have to like their vegan approach. For me (a carnivore), the appetizer was excellent, the first course was perhaps a bit too heavy, and the dessert was delicious. We didn't order the second course because we were too full. What's striking, however, is the tranquility of the place, a true oasis of peace just steps from the road. Add to that a lovely welcome from Francesca, and you've got a truly relaxing evening.

05/05/2025: Eating at Piccapane is a unique experience: a family environment surrounded by greenery where you can enjoy excellent vegan dishes prepared with attention and love. This was the feeling we felt yesterday at lunch, from the welcome from the very kind staff to the tasting of the dishes, in the choice of which we were carefully guided. The food is incredible, a joy of simple flavors with refined combinations. There is also a small shop where you can purchase their products. Finding an entirely vegan restaurant in Salento was a dream until recently. Piccapane is truly a virtuous example, spokesperson for a change that we hope will spread more and more. (access is also allowed to animals ❤️)

15/05/2025: Great place! They offer a wide variety of gourmet pizzas, but I was particularly impressed with the "Lemon" one.

17/01/2025: Adeguato il rapporto qualità prezzo, ma il prezzo risulta (on termini assoluti) un po' elevato per un locale di provincia

31/08/2025: We arrived early in the morning and a gentleman opened the castle, only the courtyard was open to visitors. I think we put on a lot of shows.

06/09/2025: I agree that the pizza dough lacked salt, and so did the tomato sauce. The dough was also a little too chewy.

30/08/2025: Stunning location, a charming terrace with stunning lighting. Top service, as the waiters were very helpful, friendly, and quick. The food was decent—we had delicious octopus meatballs, but the pizza was a bit salty. A bit bland. Overall, I'd give it a 6/10.

10/11/2025: Very satisfied. Very good food! I recommend the saffron ravioli with meat filling and the desserts! I would also include a side dish of your choice in the price of the cutlet. Excellent service, kind and attentive staff! We'll be back.

12/10/2025: We dined at the Gandula Restaurant in Cesate, a charming location surrounded by a large green space, making it an ideal destination for important events such as weddings, first communions, and so on. The restaurant has a welcoming indoor dining room, a covered outdoor area, and—the real highlight—a vast, illuminated garden that creates a magical atmosphere. The service is attentive, and the menu is simple yet sophisticated. We ordered risotto with ossobuco (very good) and excellent paccheri with cherry tomatoes and stracciatella. We will definitely return to try the cotoletta alla milanese: we saw some magnificent ones paraded between the tables, and it will be our next stop. Although some dishes are a bit pricey, the quality of the cuisine and the ambiance are worth the visit.

22/11/2025: As usual, the staff is professional and very kind. Excellent food. 😊😊😊😊😊. Fair value for money. Highly recommended. Congratulations

20/11/2025: A welcoming and well-kept restaurant with a lovely outdoor space. The waiters and owners are friendly and always ready to satisfy your every desire... EXCELLENT pizza.

26/01/2025: I went 2 days ago, great atmosphere and great live music, I recommend it for spending the evening

22/08/2025: Top service, good food. If they updated the place a little, it would be excellent. Highly recommended. We were hungry after a day at the beach, so we each ordered a plate—several veal cutlets, pasta dishes, etc., with lots of fries in the center—for 15 euros each. We were also pleased with the more than generous portions.

17/08/2025: Very good and well-prepared food. The service is a little slow, but it's worth it.
